- How to build a Cooler Box Out of Recycled, or Reclaimed Wood. This project can be done out of old pallet wood , old fence palings or in fact any old timber you can get your hands on. The whole idea is make a cool looking outdoor cooler out of wood that you would otherwise have thrown out or burnt for firewood, and transform it into a really cool looking piece of outdoor furniture.
I've been wanting to make an outdoor cooler for a while now and l have a stack of hardwood fence palings in the back yard just sitting there, so now is the time.
One of the big avantagaes of using old recycled hardwood timber or wood is that once you finish the job, it isn't going to twist and warp and destroy the look of project. It's had at least ten and more years to season so it isn't going to move any more.
The outdoor cooler box is a fairly easy project for the average DIYer and l would have to rate it 10 out of 10 for coolness!
And don't forget, it would make a great christmas present!
The total cost for the icebox is as follows:
Timber: FREE!!!!!
Four Wheels.... $16.00
Cabin Hinges..... $10.00
Tap...................$7.00
Total.................$33.00

@@diyforknuckleheads - Thanks M8! ;)
beautiful video mate inspiring us 18 year old craftmens
Good stuff Lee and good luck with your future projects! 👍
Excellent. There's my project for the spring....... along with the new shed/brewery/man cave. Cheers Knackers
Good luck with the man cave Neil and thanks for the comment. Cheers mate
What an odd character but fun to watch. Great job.
Thanks Steve. Cheers mate
Great job Uncle Knackers! Some of us know that you put the bottle opener on upside-down to see if we were paying attention. LOL. I have a rippa esky made from a 1/2 wine barrel, It works great but you can never have enough cooler space for a great Aussie get-together!
That's right Aunty Nette. I have to keep you guys on your toes. There's no room for complacency here at DIY For Knuckleheads:) The 1/2 a barrel sounds good,..with summer coming up (actually summer started today) it should get a good work out. Cheers
I'm definitely trying this one.Another great job!
I really appreciate your comments teresa. Cheers
Just stumbled across your videos and they ROCK !!! Kick ass projects !!! I love 'em !!!
Thanks huf67. Stay posted as there are more to come along with some handy DIY Tips!. Cheers mate
love the idea, another idea I see you gave me is if you make the cooler into a sliding door on the side and make a flip top holder for a 30 inch tv and then fit it with some easy glide wheels and now you can bring game day wherever your at but love it rustic\
+puffy1333 Now we're talking! Great idea Puffy. Cheers

G'day Dave. Thanks for the comment mate! Cheers
well done !!!!!
Cheers mate
Great Viddy! Really pleased I found you, I will go to work on this this weekend! Thanks!
Thanks Chiefwaz. Good luck with the build. Cheers
Awesome!
Cheers Big Shatzo!
You should get an old refrigerator and lay it on its back and build a box around it. Would be a huge cooler / freeze. that would be cool..
G'day wreckanchor, l actually thought about that but there is always the chance that a kid might lock themselves inside. A small risk l know, but it would be a disaster if it did happen. Thanks for sharing the idea mate. Cheers.
Nice done m8 just noticed that the bottleopener might be mounted uppsidedown. :) great partycooler.
Patrik,thanks for the comment. You're spot on mate, I only noticed it once l had uploaded the video and by then it was to late to change it:( Oh well, l think you get the idea:)
lov this guy!!!!!!
Glad you like the vid Jeff. Cheers mate :-)
33 dollars wow plus it looks fantastic
Not to bad for $33.00 bucks mate.
Acompanho sempre seus vídeos, aproveito todas as ideias que você apresenta. Parabéns, ótimo trabalho! Abraço!!!
Thanks Alexandre.
Great job,I really like what you did,you could also use the white foam broccoli boxes from the fruit shops for free if you don't have an old esky.
I hope santa brings me a new dropsaw cause my old one stuffed up.
Thanks ThePa1nter. You're right, broccoli boxes would be good. Maybe santa could leave me a new drop saw as well. I've been a reasonably good boy:) Cheers mate
@@diyforknuckleheads 6 years later I just watched your mitre saw tips vid... clearly not been a good boy Knackers😁
Same old saw with a new coat of nail polish 💅 Onya mate!
Thank you for taking the time to share your talent and ideas. I have already shared your videos as well as your channel with others. Thanks again, and keep up the good work as it is appreciated sir.
Thanks you so much Gtali! Your support is much appreciated and thanks again for the 'Shares'. Cheers mate
Great tip knackersssssss!!! Awesome video as always dude! Keep em coming!!👍🏻
+Punky Powers Thanks PP! Will do :-)
Nice!

how did I miss this vid?????? I thought i had seen them al! turns out not! good video mate or gid an ya jimmy!
Great video I'm going to make that for sure your amazing have a good day.
Mate! loving the recycled gear!
I'll definitely have to give this one a go !
Have a crack MrBrizey! You can't beat recycled timber. I love the stuff. Cheers mate. Let me know when you're done. I'd love to post a pic of it on my Facebook page. Cheers
awesome
Thanks Wes 👍😁
Maybe put some foam insulation around the outside of cooler to hold the cold in better, just a thought.
Yeah good idea mate. That would work.
very cool but !!! but is it me or does the bottle opener look upside down ?
but still very very cool !!!
I'd happily listen to you read the telephone book.
+Jennifer VanHoy :-)
Nice project mate. I too, as another commenter stated, thought that the size of the box built was an overkill for the size of the cooler you used, but it call came together nicely.
The only complaint I have is I had a really hard time hearing you on my computer, which is a laptop. When the power tools came on, it was very loud and I could hear those without issue. Any way you can do some overdubbing or mic yourself for future videos?
G'day Scott. Thanks for the comment mate. In regard to the sound issue there isn't much l can do about it at the moment as l use my iPhone to record the videos and there isn't any provision for a mic. Sorry about that. A good way to overcome it is to plug in some earphones when watching the vid. One day l'll lash out and get a better camera:-)
Cheers mate
Great video but the grinder woke me up a little. Lol I had to turn it all the way up to hear you but your tools didn't need any extra volume! Haha
Thanks mate 👍....Sorry about the audio....this was one of my videos and l was jus trying to work out how to Edit 😊
@@diyforknuckleheads anytime, the audio was not a big deal at all, always great videos no matter the quality! Keep them coming uncle knackers!
Great tip knackersssssssss! Love it!
britishbluetess Thanks Britishbluetess. Glad you liked it. Cheers
top project mate :-)
+Jesus was a carpenter Thanks mate. Glad you liked it. Cheers
Can you do a shop organize video
G'Day mate just seen ya Pods , not to shabby mate some great ideas indeed. I like the Esky box,featured here, But as it is so big i would have put on either side of the Esky a coiuple of lift up lids for storage in between the supports, You could put Chips on one side and some grog on the other or even use both to store ya uncooled tinnies or Stubbies, so when ya run outa the grog in the Esky then ya just up the lid on the side and chuck a few more in :) So Get Tip Benny lol other wise thanks for ya Vids mate , i have subscribed :)
Cheers Ben. The reason l made it as big as it is is so that you can put some chips on one side and rest your stubby on the other. It works really well. Thanks form the sub.
I am midway through making mine, cant wait to fill it with stubbies! Do you keep the topless esky flush with the top of the table? Also I shared this viddy on my FB page. Will also post some photos of the finished product if I dont mess it up! Cheers!
Mate it all depends on what type of esky you use. The very outside of my esky was flush with the top but the inner lip was above the top of the bench top.
Thanks for the Facebook share and l look forward to seeing the pics. Cheers mate
Excellent video! Just stumbled across your channel. Really good tips and great detailed descriptions! +1 new subscriber :)
cheers from the UK!
Thanks Captainalaric. Appreciate the comment mate. Cheers
Hey Uncle! Its a couple of years later but, where did you get the mounted bottle opener? I'm trying to find one locally. Great work as always!
Now to just add a Cap-a-pult to it.......
The perfect pairing John 😂😂
Shane, what gauge nails are you using? Id love to get my hands on a cordless nailer, im just not sure of the best all around nail gauge to use.
G'day Jason. The gun l use takes a 16 gauge nail which l use for all my fixing jobs. Cheers mate.
How much to ship the entire package to the USA, including the Aussie suds?
Those Aussie suds don't come cheap Jeff :-) Glad you liked it mate. Cheers
Good job. Where r you from?
Thanks MrDilly. I'm from Australia mate. Cheers
Might give some credit to Beachbumlivin since it's a concept copy of his.
How to Build a Rustic Cooler Box from Old/Used Recycled Pallets: Woodworking Projects
G'Day
G'day Jon. I actually got the idea for the video off a blog called 'Shabby Chic'. In saying that, l have seen the video from BeachBumLivin and he did do a great job. Cheers
Your bottle opener is upside down. Church key should be at the bottom not the top
This video was great, although I have NO IDEA what you are saying sometimes. Is there like, an Australian urban dictionary?
Just watch a few more of my videos Michael. You'll soon get the hang of it:) Cheer mate
Hi Shane am so impressed, not only are your ideas Brill but you put them over in amazing manner.
You should be on TV my friend !!!!!! enjoy the day regards Mark
www.fenceprotector.co.uk
Glad you enjoy the vids Mark. Have a good one mate. Cheers:-)
I check a lot of woodworking handbooks. These one from woodprix are the best.
I'm Back
+Diego Sanchez Good to see you back Diego :-)
the music and the noises are to loud and your voice too low
cant understand a word your saying
Man...you could have given a little credit to BeachBumLivin...he did this project 6 months ago...if you want to see the original go here czcams.com/video/IoP2cKN2WeY/video.html
G'day Charlie. I actually got the idea for the video off a blog called 'Shabby Chic'. In saying that, l have seen the video from BeachBumLivin and he did do a great job. Cheers
And a fine day to you...you did a bang up job on your box as well...now, if I could just get one of you to come over and build one for me, all would be well in the universe...Cheers to you and yours...
Charlie Currie Cheers Charlie
Looks like this guy copied your design, czcams.com/video/bvxmZPy21Jo/video.html
It does look fairly similar…but which one looks the best :-)
Justin I just saw another one of these from BeachBumLivin.
