Hi,
How did that clematis do?

Great idea, loved it when I saw it pop up and directed me to your site but I have to say I can not believe Black and Decker sponsors you. The poor quality of work and attention to even the simplest of things is embarrassing but it made sense when your pictures showed the young lad working on the project. Seeing that made it all make sense. The idea is fantastic but definitely needs tweeking and more attention to the work and presentation.

I know this is an old entry, but could you share the name of the song you added in the vimeo video?

As a more “experienced “ ( read older) person, a cordless drill would be safer for me…can’t trip over the cord.

In addition, with arthritic hands, having a drill for screw-in projects would be of great benefit.

What a beautiful fence in the background! Did you build it yourselves and if you don’t mind what size boards are they and what type of wood? Looking to have a similar one built. Thanks.

I appreciate the 11 position clutch that will help prevent stripping screws or damaging material. I would use the drill to make a wood toy or storage box for the kid’s play things that are all over the patio. Thanks for the chance :)

I’ve back worked it to fit at a cross member width of 1.75″ which means that he thickness should be about 0.75″. It looks like your USA’ian measurements are 22mmx 46mm – ish..
It’s a nice design and for a first time woodworker, an interesting challenge. The problem is that the wife saw the design & read the measurements in centimeters Half built, it’s enormous!!

I’m in the middle of building this & have noticed a problem. The measurements for your trellis uprights are too short. You give it as 64″. If you break down the cross piece measurements from the top you have 2″ + 10″ (the first 3 crosspiece group) + 3.75″ + 14″ (the first 4 crosspiece group) + 3.75″ + 14″ (the second 4 crosspiece group) + 3.75″ + 10″ (the second crosspiece group). This come to 61.25″. this does not leave anything like the length of timber you have shown to be attached to the box. Where is the discrepancy? I can only assume thet your 2″x1″ is a bit skinny.

In reply to Scoops.

haha…definitely not a problem! i would have just made them shorter if i hadn’t started making all the other cuts first:) mise en place, tea!! i said “they”…because i actually made 2:) sadly, next door turned into a rental last year. being introverts, my husband and i needed some quick privacy on our deck as we save to build a proper fence. so, clematis it is! they grow quickly and well here in Illinois and will give me a nice living wall to distract me from the obvious abandon of care next door. also, i’m gonna throw in little creeping phlox at the 2 edges to kind of “weep” down the sides. staining today if it ever stops raining…then pictures:) thanks so much for sharing, Allison. You have stellar taste!

hey there,
this is beautiful so…i thought i would build it this afternoon according to your instructions. I made a shopping list from your “budget and source” list, got home and set to work. uh oh. not enough wood! i just want to point out that the source list calls for 2- 2x8x8 pieces of douglas fir for a total of 192″ of wood. The cut pieces list{which I looked at later} calls for 5-2x8x32 pieces and 4-2x8x10.25 pieces for a total of 201″. just wanted to save someone a headache and second trip to the hardware store. i know you already gave that drill away…but have I earned it, or what? i actually made this thang:)

I never have luck with any clematis except for Autumn Clematis.(I don’t care for the ubiquitous dark purple ones you see everywhere). The only downside is that there are no blooms throughout summer, but the payoff in the fall is worth it! Every fall, mine looks as good as this pic, with no effort:

I like the Drill / Drive Mode and the battery indicator. (I swear every time we go to grab our drill the batter is low!) Definitely would come in handy with renovating projects!
