What are some good/cheap solutions to build my own cheap cold plunge? I have an ice machine and access to a lot of ice, I just don't know what kind of tub would be the cheapest to get the job done. What do you guys suggest to use as a tub?

Do you care what it looks like? If you want cheap get a used bathtub, or even a free one from a renovation. Check the classifieds.
A 100gal galvanized stock tank for watering horses could work and they aren't very expensive, $169 on lowes.com

Or build one out of wood with thick 10-20mil poly liner. And use banding if necessary. This is probably comparable in cost to just buying a stock tank.

Or get an inflatable "hot tub" off amazon or temu, lol

I made mine out of a 7 cuft chest freezer and it worked fantastically. just caulked the seams and unplug it when you get in. I put it on a timer and ran it like an hour a day to maintain 35-40F

You can buy some for <$100 on amazon.

Just use your bathtub, fill it with cold water and maybe some snow/ice. It's not like you will use it for more than 5 minutes a year.

OP asked for cheap, which DIYing isn't unless he gets scrap wood for free.

so, oil barrel with a cut off top
now fuck off

I just go around climbing into the coolers they keep the bags of ice in at gas stations. Since gas stations have a high turn over and I go through a cycle of them, when I end up returning to the first one on my list, they've hired someone new who doesn't recognize me so the life time bans never stick.

Many construction sites throw away extra plywood, 2x4s, and sometimes drywall that you can take

Got 3 day'd off /k/ because of toropetschizo. Was going to ask about drill bits for making holes in metal for something gun-related (not making a gun) but I might as well wait until 3:01 tomorrow and post it on /k/ instead
