Hello Brian,

I hope some of the $150 you put into involved products to test that it actually worked mate!

Thanks, Brian, I'll look them over and come up with a sketch of my own as I go along.  Nick

to be honest it was a lot of trial by error. I found a box someone made on a site without any dimensions at all. I had to just imagine and use stuff that was left over from old projects. I can send you the notes I wrote down along the way but again you will just have to use those crude drawings as a guideline and not true plans. Ive found when it comes to woodworking its always best to get ideas from other projects but put your own thoughts and designs into the project. This particular project I made for a charity event at my job for the Special Olympics. I put about 150 bucks into it and it auctioned off for $450.00 so not a bad deal :) I'll try and send you the drawings I made along the way to you.

Brian, I was wondering if you could share some info on your cedar cooler box construction and plumbing?  What brand of coolers do you use?  Igloo or Coleman?  I've seen some links where the fella only uses Igloo coolers??  Do you disconnect the cooler lid from the cooler box?  Any particular hints on how to do that without a lot of problems?  Do you leave enough room inside the cooler box to remove the cooler or do you make the frame snug fitting?  And then do you screw thru the lid to fasten it to the cedar box lid?  Finally can you give me a little insight on how you attach the brass drain fitting to the cooler box inside?  Thanks, Nick
