How to make a simple mini DIY greenhouse for growing seeds in winter

 






















Tools and materials:

Speed square

Miter box

Hand saw

Bandsaw

Table saw

Block plane:

Cordless drill

Random orbit sander

Hole saw

Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit


In this video I make a small simple greenhouse for growing small plants and seeds during winter time. 


I begun by cutting some spruce pieces to size on the table saw. You can buy the pieces ready made and cut them to size with a hand saw and a miter box. 


I then glued and nailed the pieces together. 


To make the sides stronger I cut triangles to add on the corners as supports. I glued and nailed the triangles in place. 


Once I  had a cube ready, I started working on the roof. 


I cut the sides on the bandsaw and used a plane to clean the saw marks. I also opened holes to act as vents using a hole saw. The vents stay in place with dowels. 


I then sanded everything and applied a coat of linseed oil. 


Finally I added the covering and made a base so I can remove all the plants at once. 


I hope you like my little green house because that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
