This was my second Ana build. I picked the cooler out of someone trash. (the wheels had broke off) Thank you brick house!!! I been wanting to do this plan for a while now, I'm just too cheap to buy the cooler.
The cooler stand plans were nice to have. I had lots of scrap from my hubby but I did have to buy two 1x3x8 to finish the lid. I had trouble with the lid lining up with the cooler. With the hinged attached to the lid, I lined up the cooler, mark it out and re-screwed it to the cooler . Easy. Next time I'll go to Habitat for Humanity or the like for the hardware. I will also remember to finish the wood before assembly. I didn't put the drain in the stand. After inspection of the cooler if won't drain completely if I did, so let it off.
It took me almost a week to finish between mom duties, volunteer work, and church but she's done.
Thanks Ana for the plans. I couldn't have done it without them.
