The trick for me was to build it by taking the top of, so have to have a cooler that has the screws with a plastic hinge. Unless you can cut of your top I guess. I built it from ground up with keeping the top of the cooler with the top off it being just over the top of the stand. Then dry fit the actual top part of cooler in it like normally would be. Then building the top wooden frame to go around top of the cooler. Once the wooden frame built around and over the top of the cooler top had to measure just right to screw into the top to hold it to the tops frame. After all built piano hinged the back. The finish started with primer then exterior red color. Then coat of blue, then stressing with sandpaper. No real good plans as so many coolers so many sizes. It's more of a trial by fire but falls into place easy.

Nice cooler stand, Todd!  The only thing that seems tricky would be the fitting of the top on the cooler for a good fit...  I have some old cooler to use and I like the finish you have on yours!
