I wanted something which could keep our drinks cold during our family braais without taking up the space in the fridge, which was needed for the food! Having seen a cooler box on wheels I thought it would be great to make something similar and I saw loads of great examples on Pinterest and Google.
Tools and materials
• A big pile of pallet wood
• 'Some' 2,4m lengths of 90mm x 38mm timber
• Clear outdoor varnish
• Paint
• Assorted screws and nails
• Threaded inserts
• Heavy duty castor wheels
• Hinges, handle, bottle opener, towel hanger
• Mitre/chop saw
• Drill/Screwdriver Kreg Pocket hold jig
• Sander Tape Measure and pencil
• Paintbrushes
• And of course, a cooler box
Step-by-step guide
Step 1: My first job was to find a suitable cooler box. As this only needed to keep drinks cold for a few hours I didn't need a brand expensive cooler box, this one only cost about R200 brand new.
I planned to build the cooler box lid into a hinged lid so I needed to remove the hinges and handles from the cooler box. Once removed I filled in the holes with some clear silicone.
