File cabinet planter that costs $5 USD to build. Of course that is the "affordable" version and it may lack some features. Never fear. I show how to make a much nicer version that is robust enough to put on a porch. And if you REALLY want this sort of thing indoors I even cover how to make a truly water-tight version. (hint: it involves a pond liner)

Check Patreon out for my dedicated videos on plasma cutting and welding.
AS AN AMAZON ASSOCIATE I EARN FROM QUALIFYING PURCHASES...... But I already told you as much in the video.....
Tools I use:
--Step-up drill bit: amzn.to/402FGDW
--Deburring tool: amzn.to/4dGKj9H
--Neodymium magnets: amzn.to/3NtoIa0
--Portable welder: amzn.to/3NnLgsP
Parts list for $5 version:
--Bulkhead fitting. Cheapest if you buy it in bulk. You used to be able to buy only 2 at a time but that vendor is gone now: amzn.to/404S0DA
--Thin liner. You should assume this will leak if you have ANY rocks in your soil. They also increased the price after I finished editing this video so I'll link to a cheaper version below: amzn.to/3YlTOqo
-- Cheaper drop cloth that I found but haven't used myself. (In truth it is probably worth buying the thicker one linked below for the "fancy" planter) But this one helps get to the $5 budget:
amzn.to/403uQgN
Parts list for "fancy" version:
---Same bulkhead as above: amzn.to/404S0DA
--Thicker liner: This STILL had some pinhole leaks on my porch. For indoor applications either use potting soil with no rocks/sticks OR you can use a tarp and a pond liner: amzn.to/3Ub8AOu
--Affordable casters that bent. If you have a smaller file cabinet these might work without bending??: amzn.to/401h9Pu
--Heavy duty casters that won't bend unless your file cabinet is way bigger/heavier than mine: amzn.to/401MYaO
SUPER heavy duty tarp and pond liner if you are building yours for indoor application. Also don't forget to get the heavy duty casters above!!!:
--Tarp: amzn.to/488o4Iw
--Pond liner: amzn.to/3zTjukZ
