It says it is a holiday sale and starts tomorrow so would think all stores .I am going to get more to make more baskets and another wishing well .It says limited to whats in stock and my store has a lot of them .I still have 4 baskets to make as gifts .I made 6 already as gifts .

Cool sissy!

 

[sissy]

Great that gifts are so cheap to make and even cheaper now and they think it costs a lot .Just my time and screws and glue and some electricity .So easy to make also and being that each ring is not screwed together to make it easier to move even better .I want to make planters and all you delete is the handle and put a potted plant in the middle

umm tmann umm she will sale you the patent...............lol

well miter cut 22 1/2 degrees on each end and screw and glue them together .The bottom of the basket first row is 8 inches inside cut and each row gets in creased by 1 inch .I will take pic

 

[sissy]

not sure this explains it very good but did the best I could .If you keep adding rows you can make it as big as you want and since you are not screwing the rows together it is easier to move .I put the screws on the top and bottom of the cuts and glue them also .As I cut I have a pencil marking top and bottom of each cut and number them and this way if the miter saw is off it will be a matching cut

 

[sissy]

always make the inside cut your measurement for each row .

Thank you so much for sharing sissy, I do love how they look!

Takes about an hour for small basket .I just built one before and no need to stain it .My neighbor wanted the big ones for either side of her driveway .My first one i built was in NJ when my youngest son was a year old and we put him inside it every easter .

Great job telling how to do it sissy!

 

[sissy]

He is now going on 25 and won't fit inside anymore :razz:

I just drew it fast as I have never had a pattern and just figure it out on my own .I could not afford to buy the pattern but saw one and just ran with it .
