Rustic Esky Cooler

Submitted by naomi on Fri, 08/29/2014 - 06:55

Months ago while browsing online I stumbled across a cool coke bottle opener. I had no idea what I would do with it but I knew I had to have it! So after months of procrastination I finally decided it was time to use it.

I found a cheap esky at kmart and decided that I would be able to make an esky stand and use the coke bottle opener on it. So after a trip to Bunnings for some new timber I got to work. It only took about a week to get it done including staining it.

Estimated Cost
$40.00 - Esky
$3.00 - Bottle Opener
$20.00 - 2 stainless steel hinges and screws
$15.00 - 3 Handles
$5.00 - 2 Hooks
$7.00 - Brass tap and tap hose
$50.00 - New pine
TOTAL= $140
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Teak Stain
Recommended Skill Level
Beginner

Thank you so much. I had so much fun doing this build. Some builds can feel like they are dragging on a bit but this one was fun every step of the way.
