Hi everyone! I have a quick question on how I can best do this. I want to make 160 wedding favors. I am planning on giving away small succulent plants in a small wooden planter box. It would probably be too much for me to make them out of piece of wood. So I thought to get some 4x4s and cut them to height. With the 4x4x4 (3.5x3.5x3.5") block, I was thinking of craving out the middle to create the planter box.
I have a Bosch router and table but I have not seen a bit that can go deep enough to make the cut. I would probably want it to cut at least 3" deep to leave .5" for the bottom of the planter. Also, would this be very stressful for the router? It is pretty brand new and I am sorta babying the thing!
I also thought of getting an inexpensive drill press, however, with a drill I cannot move laterally and make straight lines. I would be left with a bunch of circles.
With my tools and what is out there, what is the best way of doing this?
Thanks!
