    Default My DIY planter for my PC Case

    Ok so not really that exciting but heres my little planter build. The whole thing is built from some old mattress slats from an old bed.

    First I cut all the slats to length

    Next I cut 2 of each long lengths and short lengths down to the height of the planter I want and I saved the off cuts to make the base.

    Next I popped the top section on and secured in place via the modesty blocks (mending plates would of been better but I didnt have any)

    Next job was the lining which is a bin bag doubled up. I attached it in place with carpet tacs but left them proud so I can pull them and replace the liner.

    Ok so now I go to put it place and realised Id forgot the golden rule of measure twice, cut once and the planter wouldnt fit. So I whipped the shelf of and span the the brackets round and hey presto job done
