    I'm surprised this man still has any fingers left. He got close, more than once, to the table saw blade while it was running. Love the ice box chest. You did an awesome job.

    Haha I came to to comments for this. He used the jig when the wood was far away then his fingers when it got close to the blade!

    I made one change to your version, what I did was I left the ice chest plug alone and drilled a hole on the bottom of the ice chest with a drain valve from a boat, so the water drains completely out without having to soak up the water that's left in the chest bottom.

    I made one this past week. I used a 48 qt Igloo from Walmart at $16 and the cedar fence planks were $24. It came out great for less than $40. I research alot of similar designs on the web. Yours was the best looking. Thanks for the post.

    I just started this project tonight, and all the cuts have been made (with the exception of the miter cuts). I'm going rouge and not using a cooler, but instead building my own out of construction foam, which will be impregnated with epoxy and fiberglass cloth. I'm making it so the water will collect in a 3/4" diameter PVC pipe at the bottom, which runs on a slight angle down towards the spigot. It would have been cheaper to buy an Igloo cooler based on initial purchase cost, but this will be my own homemade project from start to finish. Thanks for posting this and the PDF file!

    Love the tutorial. I went the other day to buy my supplies to do this with a mid size broken fridge, bout 26" tall, not the mini. Almost had a heart attack! 189.00 for everything, of course, I over figured. Wasn't using fencing, which is a great and much cheaper idea. 'Will be making a return trip to the local hardware store. I am using cypress left from a remodel at our house. I have watched this video numerous times and will tweak my cooler. Thanks for the tips, I may keep it here and not take it to the beach (Dauphin Island, Alabama) for my kid and friends to use. :) Wish me luck! I am a budding builder, I LOVE power tools!!!

    I like the way he used a scrap piece of wood to keep the hinges and handles in the same location on both sides. I never thought of doing that, I always measure. I need more tools. Clamps and the air brad nailer would be really cool. This is a pretty cool little project.

    Just finished the ice box using an old 54 quart Coleman cooler. I found some cast iron handles at Hobby Lobby shaped like black pipe that when well with the theme. Also shortened the legs opposite the downspout by 1/2" and ran a 4" wide cedar board to the underside of the tray between the legs to which I mounted 2" caster wheels. Finally, I added a trim piece under the top plate mainly to add support the the hinges and balanced it with a trim piece around the bottom of the box which hid the bottom boards from view. Great project with many complements on the finished product.

    What a great video. I admire your cooler especially the craftsmanship, the designed and cannot compare to the rest of those other builders. Thanks again.. I have a suggestion if you agree to build a lifetime calendar (made of wood). A good size wooden frame and inside the frame you attach the month (slide it in) and below the days in order also slide it in and below the numbers in order also( just like jumble). Remember now all numbers are single piece and also holidays are different piece.. thanks again and good luck...Months, days are written(paint) not curving.

    Watch the video again and pause it at 3:25. The 3" face is flat on the table and the 2 1/2" board is sitting upright. Look where the shorter boards are. 2 on the left and 2 on the right. with the cut angle pointing in towards the middle. When you build it you want to make the 3" part with no glue seam point towards the front. That way you don't see the glue joints when you look at it.
