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.
I'm about a week out from having my shop together I'm a beginners beginner greenhorn... Lol I have been watching all of your videos over and over again big fan and appreciate all of your posts you really make it easy for the greenhorn to understand .. Thank you
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 had excess pallet wood, pickets, styrofoam coolers that came with Christmas gifts and a 35 year old bottle opener. Thanks to your video. My excess is almost gone. I posted a pic on your Pinterest page.
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.
I just made two of these boxes. I also made a video that i'm releasing on the 15th. Thanks for the great project. I also gave you credit for the design. Thanks again.
Nick Pernia Thank you. It is the New Yankee Workshop workbench that Norm built in the second episode. I purchased the 1st NYW book used on Amazon for less than $10 and it has the plans inside. I shot video when I built it but it was the 1st project that I ever shot and it is very bad. I may still post it.
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.
Awesome!! thanks for sharing. just picked up a bunch of fencing panels this morning. this gives me a AWESOME idea for a last minute girt. Keep up the great work. love the videos.
Al Smith Very cool man! Please send me pictures or post them on my Facebook page once you get it done! I also sell a full set of plans with cut list, material list, and cutting diagram on my website if you get stuck. www.funwithwoodworking.com/p/store.html
I made 2 of those before I see the video, I just saw your video to see the technic and I want to say, good job ,my have wheels that's the only difference!!
Very cool project. Walking around the saw to grab the piece of stock at 2:50 made me cringe a bit. I generally let it drop or use a table as an extension. You have a great shop with all of the essentials. Nice.
Awesome project and great idea, those coolers come in very handy down here in Texas. I laugh at the people commenting about your "table manners." I've yet to see anyone that is 100% safe 100% of the time with power tools (I remodel houses for a living). Great video, will be watching more of yours!
FunWithWoodworking Do you happen to have a written cut list of the pieces needed to make this cooler box out of 8 pickets? Would be handy versus having to go through the download and write each one out. If not, no worries.
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!!!
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.
Absolutely gorgeous job. I see here that you say 10 pickets, on the video you say 8. Also, it looks like you use 6' pickets, is that correct. Without a doubt, nicest cooler box on here, can't wait to build a couple of my own. Great gifts for outdoor enthusiasts.
FunWithWoodworking So I botched the first one...So It's going to be turning into an outside plant station for my girlfriend. I'll post pics of them both soon to your FB page when I finish. Legs are drying currently. I cut all the other stuff. Just have to assemble. Thanks again man. Love the project. One of my favorites on the web! Keep up the good videos man. You have my support.
Great work! You do the kind of wood working I like. I plan on doing allot of your projects for our home! Thanks for the insite and keep up the good work.
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.
Great job with the video editing. I could use this as an example of excellent instructional design (except for that part with the unprotected work on the table saw). Still, this really is an excellent video.
I would've liked for you to have opened the cooler at the end of ur video. It'd have been nice to see how it worked and also to see the box drain at work. Love the video tho ❤️
Very nice. I am wondering if it would have been better to put the drain on the bottom as to completely drain all the water. Just a thought. Great job, regardless!
are the 10$ project plans in pdf? does the supply list include the plumbing items needed. if the plumbing items are listed, is it the version that doesn't leak that u made a second video on? thanks. love the project.
You are correct, it is. Do you think all the tools just magically appeared one day? I saved up money and bought one piece at a time. It took about two years. Make a goal and work towards it.
Thanks to this video I made 3 with the cedar boards an put Helmsman urethane on them to keep the wood look . I was going to do 1 more but paint it is there a reason I should not use the treated fence boards ? Just trying to save a little
I made this cooler with your plans. As usual I had to screw one thing up, like I do on everything I do. I assembled the legs wrong so I had to make a fifth leg. I guess I have a start on my next one.
Is that a Norm Abram inspired work bench? Pretty cool! By the way, if you haven't already done so, you can get one of the Ryobi "One" System batteries and put it into your drill. It lasts MUCH longer and has vastly more power.
It is the New Yankee Workbench. I bought the book that has the plans in it and made it. Thanks on the battery info, I have already upgraded to the new green tools with new batteries.
I thought that was the bench! I subscribed and saw a later video where you discussed the switch. Great move. I still have my two old blue drills and I have two new green ones. I switched batteries to the One System and I'm thrilled at the increase in performance. Thank you for your videos. Best of luck to you.
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!
You were a big reason i made one for my daughter's wedding reception, was a big hit! So my thanx for the plan and incentive i gained from it!
I'm about a week out from having my shop together I'm a beginners beginner greenhorn... Lol I have been watching all of your videos over and over again big fan and appreciate all of your posts you really make it easy for the greenhorn to understand .. Thank you

Donald Shade That's great to hear! I would love to see a picture of your completed project.
I had excess pallet wood, pickets, styrofoam coolers that came with Christmas gifts and a 35 year old bottle opener. Thanks to your video. My excess is almost gone. I posted a pic on your Pinterest page.
Awesome, thanks!
What a excellent project. It certainly is better than having the cooler sitting on the floor at parties.
Beautifully done. I'm envious of your shop and your skills.
Thanks!
Thanks for the video, just purchased and downloaded the plans and materials list, I'm building this today. Out the door, on my way to Lowes.
Nolan Barges That's awesome! Please send pics when you're done.
Loved it. You're very efficient, no lost time, thanks.
Dude! Yee Haaaa starting mine today! Thank you for all your efforts to record and teach.
I never comment on videos but this one was just absolutely great. Video was shot amazingly just as well.
Thank you!
Really well done. This might be a good spring project.
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.
Yeah, the scrap wood he's using would be a type of 'story stick'.
12:43 Those miter joints are killin me right now! Yes, it is an outdoor piece but still...
Thank you!
Excellent video. Well explained for a DIYer. Thanks
The router sure does make it look neatly finished
nice project
Thanks for sharing your skills
Good project. Well presented.
I just made two of these boxes. I also made a video that i'm releasing on the 15th. Thanks for the great project. I also gave you credit for the design. Thanks again.
Mike Fulton That's awesome! I can't wait to see it.
I think it's a cool project. I think I'm going to make one but with wheels on one side so I can move it around easier. Thanks for the great idea.
Video came out great. I really like this project. I need to build one soon. Thanks.
Great video. Id love to see a video highlighting your work bench... it looks really well thought out.
Nick Pernia Thank you. It is the New Yankee Workshop workbench that Norm built in the second episode. I purchased the 1st NYW book used on Amazon for less than $10 and it has the plans inside. I shot video when I built it but it was the 1st project that I ever shot and it is very bad. I may still post it.
loved seeing it being built.
This is awesome. Thanks for the plans off your site. I'm gona make one of these before the 4th.
Thanks! Please post a picture on my facebook page when it's done. I would love to see it.
Will do
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.
That sounds like a good idea. I will have to check it out.
Those push stick skills are what’s up bro!
Awesome!! thanks for sharing. just picked up a bunch of fencing panels this morning. this gives me a AWESOME idea for a last minute girt. Keep up the great work. love the videos.

Thank you for your concern. I have learned quite a bit about using the tablesaw since I made that video.
This is a really great project and one that I can see building soon.

Brent Russell I actually sell the full plan with cutlist on my website. www.funwithwoodworking.com/p/store.html
Loved the cooler box, great idea.
Great idea and design! Even better job on the execution.

William Dizon I like that idea. Let me see what I can come up with.
You've got a good channel starting here. You've got some nice projects and do a great job with the videos. Thanks!
Great job !!! I will try to do it
greatings from Mexico

awesome man. That came out great! Yes -you scared me with the table saw too. Great job though. Thanks for the video.
Hell ya basic bird house builder here I was all puckered up during the table saw run
Absolutely gorgeous job. I see here that you say 10 pickets, on the video you say 8. Also, it looks like you use 6' pickets, is that correct. Without a doubt, nicest cooler box on here, can't wait to build a couple of my own. Great gifts for outdoor enthusiasts.
Thank you very much. The box is made out of 10 pickets. I accidentally said 8 in the video. The pickets are 72" x 5 1/2" x 3/8".
Thank you. I'm really looking forward to making this.
i was wondering the same thing. thanks for clarifying.
That is so cool. Thank you so much for sharing! I love all of your great tools too.
bransonhauntedhills Thank you!
thanks for the video, excellent work,
Greetings from Mexico
im gonna have to try this build thanks for the pdf file.. one would look great on the front deck!!
Great job with very easy materials!! My only concern is maybe should have guards on that table saw. I know they can be a pain in the arse but......
I love the New Yankee workbench...I built 2 for my wood shop.

'Cool' project. Thanks for sharing...
Building these this Spring!
Great job!
Only thing i would add is a cup under the bottle opener for the bottle caps to drop into !! nice vid
Cool thanks for replying. I'm definitely going to make one of these. Thanks for the video and easy instructions!
Well done
Amei este vídeo, muito ótimo. Farei com certeza. Obrigada!
Jaciara Silveira Muito obrigado
Great job with the video editing. I could use this as an example of excellent instructional design (except for that part with the unprotected work on the table saw). Still, this really is an excellent video.
Great video man! Really enjoyed it! Keep up the good work!
Bom trabalho.
I would've liked for you to have opened the cooler at the end of ur video. It'd have been nice to see how it worked and also to see the box drain at work. Love the video tho ❤️
Love it, now I just need to get my husband to make it.
Mi estimado que estupendo trabajo...
Pregunta que tipo de madera ocupaste y que grosor de la misma.
Saludos
Thank you! It is made out of 5/8" cedar fence pickets.
Your fence-block that you set up at 1:20 is so simple that it pisses me off that I never thought of it. Smart move, and great video.
Hola me gustaria saber como hiciste tu mesa de trabajo ya que me gusto mucho hacer unapara mi. Gracias muy buen video
Nice work! Thnks 4 sharing!
nice job!
Very nice. I am wondering if it would have been better to put the drain on the bottom as to completely drain all the water. Just a thought. Great job, regardless!
Now that I made mine, everyone in the family wants one!
Hey nice video! Thank's for taking the time to make this. You just got a new subscriber!
are the 10$ project plans in pdf? does the supply list include the plumbing items needed. if the plumbing items are listed, is it the version that doesn't leak that u made a second video on? thanks. love the project.
Yes, yes, and yes. Thanks!
good job bro!!!
It is a Skil 3410 Contractor saw. I bought it at Lowes.
bad ass bro good job
Love it.
This project is nice if you have all the equipment
You are correct, it is. Do you think all the tools just magically appeared one day? I saved up money and bought one piece at a time. It took about two years. Make a goal and work towards it.
Thanks to this video I made 3 with the cedar boards an put Helmsman urethane on them to keep the wood look . I was going to do 1 more but paint it is there a reason I should not use the treated fence boards ? Just trying to save a little
I made this cooler with your plans. As usual I had to screw one thing up, like I do on everything I do.
I assembled the legs wrong so I had to make a fifth leg. I guess I have a start on my next one.
I won't say that it has never happened to me.
Love it
I would hold the push stick in my right hand and use that to push the board through your table saw... but awesome project!
Thank you for caring.
Nice job, cool vid!
Is that a Norm Abram inspired work bench? Pretty cool!
By the way, if you haven't already done so, you can get one of the Ryobi "One" System batteries and put it into your drill. It lasts MUCH longer and has vastly more power.

Thank you for your videos. Best of luck to you.
How long do you recommend letting the pickets dry out? I'd really like to build something like this. Thanks in advance.
just subscribed and loving all your videos.
I usually try let them dry out in the garage for a couple weeks before I use them. If I don't then they tend to shrink and warp.
Thanks!
Wow thanks for the quick answer! Sounds good I am going to the store tomorrow evening so I can start getting it dry! thanks again.
by the way very nice bench
