Build This Best-Selling Windmill Planter for Cheap.

Hey guys,

Matthew Peech here.

It finally warmed up yesterday, which was awesome—only for it to get cold again today…

Gotta love the unpredictable weather, right?

Anyway, I wanted to give you a little behind-the-scenes look at what I’ve been working on in the shop.

Now, I know what you might be thinking… Didn’t you just build that?

Well, kinda. This right here is actually the prototype for a project that turned out so good, I had to refine it and make another plan for you guys.

Introducing the DIY Windmill Planter

This unique outdoor décor piece is already one of my best-selling builds this year, and for good reason:

✅ It’s super easy to make – You only need fence pickets and a couple of 2x4s.
✅ It looks incredible – The classic windmill design combined with a planter box makes it a real eye-catcher.
✅ It’s built to sell – If you’re looking to make extra income with woodworking, this one is a great seller.
✅ It’s beginner-friendly – No fancy joinery, no expensive materials. Just simple cuts, glue, and screws.

I had some leftover 1/4-inch strips laying around, so I started experimenting with adding some decorative elements to the sides. I figured, why not make it even more unique? By the time I worked my way around the whole thing, I knew it was going to turn out awesome.

Now, a quick tip for those of you thinking of making something similar:

Don’t Stress Over Perfect Angles

Since this build tapers upward, you could spend a bunch of time figuring out every tiny angle for perfect cuts. But honestly… why?

Instead, just let the strips overhang, mark a straight line 20 inches up from the bottom, and trim it all at once with an oscillating tool or circular saw. It’s 10x easier than calculating each angle.

This project turned out even better than I expected. Just picture this sitting in a flower garden, vines growing up the sides… it’s gonna be a showstopper.

^{Born and raised in a small town in Kentucky, I am blessed to be the husband of my wonderful wife Laura and the father of four amazing children. My career path took an interesting turn as I spent 15 years dedicated to nursing, a profession where I learned the importance of care, precision, and patience. However, my true passion has always been woodworking and creating beautiful pieces from raw materials. From a very young age, I was the kid who asked Santa for lumber and tools instead of toys. My father, an inventive soul with a knack for working with metal, always encouraged me to explore and build. Together, we spent countless hours outdoors, and I developed a love for crafting and constructing that has stayed with me throughout my life. The smell of fresh-cut wood, the feel of sanding a piece to perfection, and the joy of seeing a finished project come to life—these are the things that fuel my passion. Living in a small town in Kentucky, the sense of community and the beauty of nature around me have always been inspiring. My father’s inventive spirit and our shared adventures outside taught me to think creatively and embrace the joy of making something with my own hands. These experiences shaped who I am today and instilled in me a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and artistry. After many years of nursing, I decided to follow my heart and turn my woodworking hobby into a full-time career. This wasn’t just a leap of faith, but a leap into a world where I could combine my love for woodworking with my desire to teach and inspire others. Now, as a full-time woodworker and content creator, I dedicate my days to sharing my knowledge, skills, and passion with a wider audience. My goal is to create content that not only educates but also motivates and inspires you to pursue your own creative projects. In this community, I aim to foster a sense of belonging and encouragement. Whether you’re a seasoned woodworker or just starting out, there’s always something new to learn and create. I believe in the power of small projects that bring big joy and satisfaction. Each piece you create is a testament to your skill, patience, and creativity. And I’m here to guide you every step of the way. My content is designed to be accessible and inspiring, offering step-by-step tutorials, tips, and insights to help you on your woodworking journey. I want you to feel confident and capable, knowing that you can achieve great things with your hands and imagination. Remember, “You’ve got this!” Together, we can create beautiful, functional pieces that reflect our passion and dedication to the craft. I have always been deeply connected to the world around me, finding inspiration in the simplest things—nature, the texture of different woods, the intricate patterns found in leaves and trees. These natural elements play a huge role in my designs and projects. I aim to bring a piece of that outside world into every creation, blending functionality with beauty. The transition from nursing to woodworking was a transformative experience. Nursing taught me the value of precision and care, qualities that are incredibly important in woodworking. It also taught me patience and perseverance—skills that are essential when you're working on a complex project or learning a new technique. In many ways, woodworking is a form of therapy for me, a way to express creativity and find peace in the process of making something tangible and lasting. Every project I undertake is not just about the end product, but about the journey—the meticulous planning, the careful selection of materials, the craftsmanship, and the satisfaction of seeing the finished piece. It's about taking a vision and bringing it to life with my own hands. And it’s this journey that I want to share with you all. In this community, we celebrate the joy of making, the beauty of craftsmanship, and the satisfaction of creating something with our own hands. We share ideas, learn from each other, and grow together as makers and creators. I am dedicated to providing you with the best resources, tutorials, and inspiration to help you on your own woodworking journey. Thank you for being a part of this wonderful community. Let’s continue to build, create, and inspire each other. Remember, no matter how big or small your project is, “You’ve got this!”}
