The Data TherapistI’m very annoyed with Home Depot. Got their DIY raised bed kit. The wood is just a tad too wide to fit the corner slots. Do yourself a favor and don’t buy it.
If I don’t want to return it, perhaps I should sand the ends? Ugh.

Hmm it should be easy to shave it down a bit, even with a little hand plane (or ax lol)

@silo_bear thanks. I don’t have a hand plane, and didn’t intend this to become a larger project than it already is (leveling the ground there).

Maybe a rubber mallet could smack it into place, though it might break the block joints instead T^T
How do you feel about the ancient craft of whittling? Haha
@silo_bear I actually tried smacking with a mallet… to no avail. I might actually try hitting the ends instead of sanding them.
@datatherapist
Ohh yes, good idea, just lay it flat n go blacksmith on its ass
Though.. more likely to cause a split.
Maybe theyd let you return a handplane after a quick use

It probably fitted when it was made and the planks expanded, as they do.

@MostlyTato you might be right, but they should’ve protected them, or warn customers the wood might not fit.
@datatherapist
Agreed. Maybe they had been stored for too long and expanded. Regardless, you'd be within your rites to return it as it's not fit for purpose.
