Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Step 1

We will begin by cutting wood for the body of the hanger. We created our hanger out of cedar as it typically withstands weather conditions outdoors. Measure and mark a 1" x 4" wooden plank to 46" in length. Mount the SM500 Wood & Plastic Wheel in your Saw-Max tool. With your plank clamped, turn on your tool and cut along the marked line.

STEP 2

Step 2

Trace the provided pot slot template onto the plank, flipping it to trace the template along the left and right sides as desired. We alternated the spacing of our slots, leaving at least 1' between slots located on the same side of the plank to provide room for each pot and plant. Our pots had a 5" height, 4" base diameter, 6" top diameter, and 1.5" lip height. Measure and mark a circle for a rope hole. We centered ours 1.5" below the top of the plank and gave it a 3/4" diameter. Optional: Draw top and bottom designs onto the plank. For our hanger, we brought the bottom of the design to a point by drawing lines from the bottom center of the plank to points marked 2" above the bottom of each side. Additionally, we beveled the top corners of our hanger design by measuring and connecting points 3/4" from the top and side of the plank for each corner.
