"Custom Beverage Cooler - minus the cooler"

This custom cooler build for my client presented a challenge: not to use an already made cooler. The Bradshaw's Custom Beverage Cooler is fully insulated with EPS rigid foam and lined on the inside with galvanized sheet metal and sealed to prevent leaks. The cooler was finished in a chalk white paint, painstakingly distressed by hand, accented with metal hardware painted bronze for an antiqued look. A custom designed character logo was decoupaged onto the split door lid, completing its timeless look.

* The cooler was built specifically for closed beverage bottles, cans, ice cubes not intended for direct consumption, nor direct beverage dispensing.

Hi Randy
wow, I'm humbled. truly. thank you for the generous compliments, I appreciate it. 

I had been wrestling with the same dilemma of wanting to build an actual cooler versus building around an already made one. i found this design to be a bit more satisfying from a personal standpoint with the finished product being mine through and through. More importantly, my clients were happy and couldn't say enough how much they were excited to show it off.

Joseph,

  You did some really fine work on this cooler. It is something that you should really be proud of.

 I have been trying to work up a plan to build something very similar to what you have made. I have seen a lot of plans but they are all the ones that are made by building something around an ice chest. I just don't find those to be that nice looking. Your plan is the first one that I would be proud to have in my backyard. Good Job!!!!  RandMart3

Product Reviews

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Not Pleased With Pocket Hole Construction

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction.  I have considerable experience with conventional…
