I'm a novice semp grower and totally beginner woodworker (not even really a woodworker!) but I wanted to make some mini green walls...there is info on ATP for making living frames by goldfinch4 http://garden.org/ideas/view/g...... This was very helpful to me, and exciting
so I went out yesterday and bought a jig saw, glue, screen (although they only had 1/4 inch so that's what I'll be using) nails, and of course extra blades in case I broke one (didn't happen but one never knows!)
I decided I want to try a wood box, as well as using several metal containers (I love my cookies in a tin) Sticking tongue out
These first few photos are the cut pieces of wood, didn't really draw my line straight...didn't really cut the pieces straight...used way too much glue which I only figured out when it came pouring out of the seam while I was hammering the first pieces together...but I did remember to have an old towel and rag on hand!!
The finished product (especially in the photos) looks just fine! And I made it all by myself Rolling my eyes.

The next step will be attaching the screen once the glue dries (overnight) Then I'll add soil and plants and take photos!
Cheers
