Made entirely from 1x2 pine. Ripped into thirds for the shelf slats. Pocket holes. Glue. Brads and glue for the shelf slats.

Looks great, are you single ?
Yeap! His wife calls it something else though.
I asked my wife and she said “no”
similar to several my mom had that were made out of hockey sticks.
Have you thought about adding grow lights?
That’s the next step, thinking through options.
I have some 16" metal led strips that would work if I could cut them, but looking at the traces, they won’t work if cut. So I’ll probably have to buy something.
Flexible led strips are likely the answer.
They make couplers for most led strips. Cut and join. Check it out.
Nice work! $90 and the satisfaction of having built something yourself! Did/ are you thinking of staining it given the wateringv situation?
I already coated with paste wax. Should be enough, we’ll see.
Looks great! Did you at least get to buy a few new tools out of it as well?
I used the tools I bought earlier to justify those purchases
Smart

I’d say about $30 better
Don’t be so cheap, it’s a whole 50% better!
It’s beautiful! Will probably last longer too.
I’d like to see you’re wife’s version of this post.
“Finally got all my plants organized, so happy with the result!”
Look what my awesome husband made for me!
Oh. I guess I thought it would be funnier.
“Finally got all my wacky, zany plants organized, so happy with the result!”
His wife obviously is a plant hoarder. She’ll probably buy the Amazon one, too, and overload both with innocent, helpless seedlings.
That monster.
Well it looks really nice
That shelf looks amazing. Good job. What was your wife’s reaction ? Did she give it a rating?
7/10, would’ve been better if she didn’t have to remind me to make it so many times
Hey have you ever considered acquiring more succulents?
I am a carpenter. I bought a jewelry rack for my partner off amazon. It broke in 2 months.
I assure you your time and effort will not go to waste as this is going to last a million times longer. Not to mention the brownie points!
The last trip to buy pots to separate the existing overgrown succulents also brought home a new succulent. Soooo…
Like when I went to get some mulch for my new gooseberry bushes and walked out with 4 blueberry bushes.
I feel seen and attacked at the same time
You might have to go back for some sulfur for the blueberry bushes. At which point you should buy some serviceberry bushes.
This is almost exactly how I got a blueberry bush.
I say “I” but actually the rabbits got a new blueberry bush.
This is beautiful! I would be so touched if my partner went to all this trouble to make me something like this.
This is the way.
A forklift-themed party? That sounds awesome haha
I was gonna say! One of my friends had a mango-themed party. He didn’t even particularly love mangos; it was just a nice unified theme.
