Request: Help with making a wooden planter box

I felt we needed a wooden planter box to adorn the outside of my son's bedroom window. But how do you make a planter box from scratch without tools and skills? I posted a request on Timebank and had a reply within a few days. Robert - a Timebank member for a year - offered to come over, help with the design, advise on what materials to get, and teach the kids and myself a few skills along the way. Everything happened very smoothly. Thankfully Robert had a week off work between jobs - Tuesday: Design drawings, Wednesday: sawing the pieces of wood to the right size, Thursday: assembly.

The result: a beautiful sturdy planter box, new skills learned, happy kids! See pics below. A big Thank You to Robert for his initiative, patience and great teaching skills!
