Show TUHOmE UUDDDDnnFTER flSN DO IT YOURSELF AND SAVE A Planter For Indoors Or Out " j "'w ' 3 Get your potted plants off the ground and into this practical and pretty organpipe cluster you can build yourself in a single afternoon. By The Wood-Working Projects Experts at Georgia-Pacific Corp. Plants can be a pretty and economical way to improve the view, indoors or out, especially if you put your gorgeous growing things into an "organ pipe" plant cluster that youVe created yourself. Contemporary and easily built in a single afternoon, this beautiful organizer fits in anywhere: on a favorite porch, deck or family room. And there's no need to paint. Just coat it with transparent stain. Materials youH need to get started are five lengths of I"xl2"xl2' redwood lumber, ten l"xl"x6' strips of redwood lumber, one I"x2"x4' piece of redwood lumber and one I'xl2"x6' redwood lumber board. Use 4d galvanized finishing nails, creosote and transparent stain. Cut the l"xl2" redwood into the lengths shown in the diagram. Nail boards together, to-gether, using a combination of waterproof glue with screws or galvanized finishing finish-ing nails. Make sure the l"xl" corner braces are flush with the seams. Next, secure each box to your tabletop or work- bench, using a bench clamp. Measure diagonal cuts at 30; saw and sand smooth. Cut and nail the plant shelf into each planter. Then waterproof the inside with creosote. If you ever plan to move the cluster inside, do not drill shelf holes in the shelf boards so water won't leak out onto floors. As a further precaution, plasti-coat the planting area thoroughly. For more home project ideas and plans, send $1.00 to "Woodworks," Dept. NAPS, Georgia-Pacific Corp., 900 S.W.
