DIY Project: Self Watering Bowl For Pets

In this video, Anthony repurposes parts from a broken grill to create a self-watering bowl for his dogs. He used a submersible pump and stainless steel to create a top for the bowl. The creator encounters some challenges during the process, but ultimately succeeds in creating a functional and unique water bowl. The video showcases the creator's welding and plasma cutting skills, as well as their determination to do things right.
