I’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).
😒

@datatherapist
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
