“Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.” -Meister Eckhart Welcome! Today I am tackling a fun woodworking project with the disclaimer: I am not a professional! 😆 I just like trying to make things myself! I wanted to show you all how I made my other garden tuteur that I think turned out pretty nice! This time, I am making one for my parents garden. I hope they like it (and that they don’t look too closely at the mistakes!) 😆 Enjoy! #DIYgardentuteur, #DIYgardentrellis, #gardeninspiration @RYOBITOOLSUSA ————M A T E R I A L S N E E D E D———— purchased finial square tip piece to put the finial on -get a 2x6 and cut to 5.5” 7 pieces of 2” x 2” x 8’ screws wood glue ————C U T L I S T———— For Legs: -take 4 of the 8’ 2x2’s and cut each off at 1 foot to make all 4 7’ long -set the saw for 7 degree bevel and 7 degree miter -one at a time, cut one end of each leg, then without moving it other than sliding, trim the other end so both cut ends are parallel For Cross Members: -take the remaining 8’ 2x2s -cut with cut ends mirroring each other but cutting, rolling 180 degrees, slide then cut left end so cut ends are opposite -all measurements are the longest sides cut 4 of each measurement (will need 3 2x2’s total) measurement 1: 12” measurement 2: 18” measurement 3: 22” For Face Plate: -cut fence piece or 2x6 to be 5.5” square ————A S S E M B L Y D I R E C T I O N S———— Use wood glue then brad nailer to secure cross members together to form 3 squares Mark the square face plate piece with a cross hair so you have four quadrants. Now draw 2 additional lines, 1 1/2″ on either side of each vertical and horizontal line. Drill a pilot hole just inside each corner of the square that has formed from the lines and also a hole directly in the center for the finial Attach the upper end of each leg with a screw. Fitting them into the drawn squares and turning them until each angle is lined up perfectly level on the square piece and the floor Now, one by one, slide each frame down over the “teepee” frame you have created, starting by aligning the largest frame. Screw into place by first making a pilot hole, then screwing in screw. Continue adding the other three frames, largest to the smallest. Use the level to keep everything level and screw each frame into place as you go. Screw in finial on top and you are done! ————L I N K S———— E M A I L: [email protected] I N S T A G R A M: https://instagram.com/digplantwaterrepeat/ M E R C H A N D I S E: https://dig-plant-water-repeat.creator-spring.com W E B S I T E: https://www.digplantwaterrepeat.com ———— V I D E O L I N K S ———— Adapted from shesholdsdearly.com: https://sheholdsdearly.com/diy-french-tuteurs-garden/ Wood Glue: https://amzn.to/3MQhknl Ryobi Brad Nailer: https://amzn.to/3GknidF Ryobi Miter Saw (similar to mine, I have corded): https://amzn.to/3GkkUDY Ryobi Power Drill: https://amzn.to/3lDQjrt ———— A D D R E S S ———— Dig, Plant, Water, Repeat 417 Mace Blvd Ste J DIY# 238 Davis, CA 95618 ————F T C D I S C L A I M E R ———— This video is not sponsored, all plants/products were purchased by me!
