Cedar Cooler

Great work! Should serve you well for a long time!

Very nice! I’ve been thinking about building one of these for our back patio. I really like this design. What type of cooler did you use?

This is really nice – and a great idea. I would love to have one of these for my office and one for my shop and one for the back yard and one for . . .

This is so much nicer to look at than a beat up plastic cooler and just as convenient. I am sure your dad will be thrilled.

Great Job on your first large project!

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I appreciate the feedback!

cgrooms – I used an old Coleman steelbelted 80qt cooler my dad had at the house. The cooler saw better days thats for sure!

Love the bottle opener add-on.

Classy look. Nice job!

Great job. I did one on a smaller scale. But I’ll have to try this. Very solid construction.

Love it…. Nice Job.

Very nice work. I just finished one out of left over pressure treated lumber earlier this month for a 4th of July party. No pics yet as my son is going to wood burn some artwork on it. I’ll post it when complete.

Really nice job. How did you attach the top of the cooler to the wood lid?

Daris,

I attached the lid with two stanley gate hinges. Picture six was recently added to show oneof the hinges.

Looks great! I have been thinking about building a cooler like this. Did you buy plans or make your own?
Enjoy!

Well, you picked a great project and did a wonderful job with it. I am sure dad was very pleased
