Man, Gene, you're knocking these cedar builds out of the park. Looks great!
Thanks Oldb-1. 👍
Cedar builds…. Douche comment
@DIYGene i love the work but why not your own ideas and not others that do the sammmmeeeeee build 9 years ago 😢😢😢😢
@@Slapingsounds We don't gatekeep in the crafting world. Inspiration drives innovation. He took this idea and improved it by adding the changes/aesthetics that suited him best.
Spectacular. A great addition to anyone's deck. Has that great nostalgic look. Another masterpiece.
Thank you! I can’t believe how simple this project was to make. Thanks again for watching.
Great project! My daughter and son-in-law would love one of these.
Hi Doug, it is such a simple build, and is really useful. Thanks for watching.
Hey Gene, It's Eric. Congratulations! Another Grand Slam... way to go!
Hello Eric! I don't know about a grand slam, but this was a super easy and fun project.
Excellent work as usual Gene. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Deb, Fun project and really simple build. As always thanks so much for watching.
Love this! ❤ If I were to make one of these, I think that I would add some hidden casters in the legs so it could be moved easier.
Great video! Thanks for sharing ❤
Hi Niccole, That is a great idea! Thanks so much for watching.
Wow, God bless you man, you make some of the most awesome stuff. Keep it coming.
Thanks Ray, I just really enjoy creating and being able to share how. Thanks again for watching and God bless you too!
That really turned out nice Gene! Great work!👍😎
Thanks DartMan! It’s a good thing it turned out. Because I can’t sing. 🤪
@@DIYGene lol, you sure are good at all these projects, though! Beautiful work!👍😊
Beautiful! Gotta tell my roommate about this one!
Hi Preachy! Thanks for watching and sharing it with your roommate. 😄
Excellent Job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL GENE!
Hi Johnny, Thanks again for watching the channel.
It looks great !!! Awesome build !!!
Thanks Max! And thanks for watching.
Nice build, cant go wrong with one of these. I make alot of these, would recommend TiteBond 3 as its water proof glue. Well done.
Thanks Kenny, and thanks for the tip on TiteBond 3.
Hi Gene, Happy 4th! Love the cooler! I too love working with cedar and like you said its inexpensive and great for outdoor projects.
@@robertsutton5169 me too! Cedar is the best! Thanks again Robert.
Great video, thanks for your time 🇺🇸
Thanks William, this was a really fun project. Thanks again for watching.
Nice job. Regards from Australia.
Hello Bruce. How’s the weather down under? Thanks for watching.
@@DIYGene Getting cold unfortunately. Your turn for warmer weather. :)
I love this and I got really excited about making it, but did I overlook a cut list?
I have not created a cut sheet because the sizes may be different depending on the cooler you use. If you use the cool in the description link, then the cut sizes are:
Legs: 4ea. 3"x 34" and 4 ea. 2.5"x 34"
Sides: 4ea. 5.5"x 28" and 2ea. 3.25"x28"
Ends: 4ea. 5.5"x 13.75" and 2ea. 3.25"x 13.75"
Top: 3ea. 5.5" x 29.5"
Plus use scrap as the inside supports.
I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Very nice 👌
Now a steampunk version
Oh! That could be cool!😶
Great job 👏
@@Saintcustomwoodworking , Thanks so much for watching.
That is beautiful.😊
Thank you so much. This really was a fun project.
Very nice going to build one for myself thanks again
Hello Harry, it is supper simple and a fun project. Thanks so much for watching.
Great music!
Does it help or distract?
@@DIYGene It helps!
Thanks
My phone gives me trouble turning out messages
Getting back to the box containing the ice chest the Sun causes the plastic to crack and split the wood blocks the sunlight making the chest last much longer I really love your idea 🤗❤️👀
And the bugs don’t like Cedar. Hopefully this holds up a long time.
Stencil was next level. Brought it all together!👍
Thanks, I felt like it needed something. Thanks again for watching.
Love it!
Thanks so much for watching.
What size nails if using a brad nailer ? Thanks love your work!!!
Well because the cedar is only about 5/8” thick, I would go with 1.25” brads. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
@@DIYGene one more question I am near the end of this build. What size screws for the legs ?
I have followed your video and cut list exactly and it is coming out great! Thank you sooo much !
@@CK-ur8nq, I used 1.5” screws for the legs. I’m excited for you. We really used the deck cooler this weekend and it was a big hit with friends.
Great video, 👍 new subscriber 🎉
@@salvadorsepulveda6415, Thanks so much for watching and for subscribing. 👍
This looks great. But you forgot to mention your dimensions of your cuts?
@@larryalt206, If you look at the bottom of the description, I have put all the material cuts there. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
❤. I really love
Thanks Robert!❤️👍
Nice job! Do you just pull the color out to drain?
@@lesd2633.Yes I thought about one with a drain but they seem to always still have water in the bottom and would have to pull it out anyway. Thanks for watching.
Clamps? We don’t need no stinking clamps!
LOL! I want that on a t-shirt.
I like it!!!
Hi Scott, thanks for watching.
NICE
Thanks so much for watching.
Hello, I have a few questions! What size cooler is that, and do you have any plans for the build? Trying to build one for my girlfriends dad
@@CedarRidgeWoodWorks, I have put a materials and a cut list in the description below the video. There is also a link to the cooler. I hope that helps. It is such an easy and fun build. Thanks for watching.
@@DIYGene thanks a ton! You gained a sub!!
@@DIYGenecooler o longer available. Please update so plans work
Do you have plans for this cooler that I can follow I'm a beginner woodworker
I haven’t done plans because I was thinking it may differ depending on the cooler you use. However in the description below the video I do have a material cut list. I hope that helps. I am looking into offering plans on projects like this. Thanks for watching.
@@DIYGene thanks
I'm a beginning woodworker at age 77, and a grandmother of four. I've been making planter boxes and bird houses. I love it
@@adriennesmith6402 , That’s fantastic. Keep it up! Thanks so much for watching.
Please update cooler. That one is no longer available and throws of plans to build
Really nice… he didn’t show how he put the back hinges on 😢
@@ClarenceMiles-zn1rx, You are right I miss that. Luckily there was no special installation. Just screw on the two hinges on the back about 3” in on both sides. Thanks so much for watching.
He literally copied another build this is not his 😢😢😢look up how to make a patio cooler he stole this idea from 9 years ago 😒 😑
I’m sorry you think I stole something. There are many videos out there on this subject and they all share different versions and different ideas. It is fun to see everyone’s different twist on these ideas. Thanks for watching.
We've had an Igloo cooler (not sponsored LOL) for many years and I've been wanting to do something like this for a really long time.
Seeing this video may give me the kick in the keester to move it. This is exactly what I had in mind. I just get lazy LOL
I could not believe how simple this build was. Pull out that old Igloo and go to town!
This is really cool. It looked way to complicated for anything I could make, but your step by step makes this seem possible. Thank you!
Thank you, it really is a simple build. No complicated angles and simple materials. Give it a try. Thanks again for watching.
I saw this video last night and thought it'd be a cool addition to the patio. I stumbled upon the exact Coleman cooler today on sale at the store and saw it as a sign. Excited to get this project started. Thanks!
That’s fantastic. I added some of the cut dimensions in the description below the video. I hope it helps. Thanks for watching.
Great job! Could you leave a link for that stencil material? Thank you kindly.
Thanks, Here is an Amazon link to the stencil and transfer material. amzn.to/4bHVDSP
Thanks for watching.
@@DIYGene Oh great! Thank you. Do you have a video on stencil making? It's such a neat skill to have. Thanks again.
Here is a video on the vinyl cutter I used. It was really cheap and comes with software. ua-cam.com/video/_oarfr1j5dk/v-deo.htmlsi=Z0-Vq0KkLdDrfHXI
Great job! Love this. Thanks Gene for the inspiration 😁👍
Hi Dan! Super easy to make. Thanks for watching.
Gene! I'm so impressed with your talent and thank you for sharing this! I don't have room on my deck but I think it could make a really cool gift!
Hi Kevin! How are you doing? Thanks so much for watching.
I'm stocking up on cedar pickets this coming fall/winter season while they're dirt cheap so I can go wild next spring building things for my new backyard, and as gifts for family members. There are so many things you can build for a little bit of nothing out of those things! I wish I had known this sooner. I don't have the super fancy tools, but the ones I do have can usually get the job done with a little bit more elbow grease. Thanks for this, it's going at the top of my list!
You are so right. Cedar is my new go to material. I love how it holds up, how it looks and even how it smells. I was thinking about building these projects with tools most of us have in our garage or can buy really cheap and created another video on building a lounge chair. Check it out. ua-cam.com/video/upwqAy1bQfQ/v-deo.htmlsi=WzouaQZsflTm4W4B
Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for the video, Gene! I really love how you base your design off of the materials you use, to reduce waste or leftover pieces.
That is so true. I hate wasting material. I was able to build this with 10 cedar fence boards. That’s $37. In lumber. I actually bought 12 just in case I mess up. I’m good at messing up. lol
Looks awesome!!! Didn't see any mention of hinges. Did you use any if so what hinges did you use?
I used 2 black 2.5 in hinges. Thanks for watching.
Hey, Gene, I just started watching your videos recently, and I'm loving the content so far.
I was wondering, do you suffer from COPD or just emphysema? My grandfather, who instilled in me a love for woodworking in the 70s, had similar tremors in his hands, and he suffered from emphysema. Not like it matters, I was just curious. Seeing that just brought back a lot of memories of my time in the shop with him.
I actually have what is called Essential Tremors. It really sucks at times, but I push through it. I’m glad it brought you good memories of your grandfather. Thanks for watching.
I just made mine and i cant thank you enough. It came out great.
That is fantastic! I would love to see how it turned out. Kelley, thanks so much for watching and for letting me know you built one!
Can't wait to get back and share a beverage with you out of that. Looks great!
It will have some cold ones waiting.
Looks great, I probably would have cut off the track and glued them over the screw heads, but, still a great build, great job!!
That’s a great suggestion. Thanks for watching.
Buy come root BEER for your cooler! Coors light?
Thanks so much Robert. Today I need it. It’s pushing 90. 😄
@@DIYGene Good way to stay cool! Been in the 100's here in the Bay Area of Cali. So the wife and I are staying on Oregon Coast for a month to avoid the heat - staying in the cool 60's!
Did I missed how you installed the hinges? I went back to watch, I didn’t saw it.
I forgot to show that. But they are 2.5” and mounts 6” in on both sides. Flat against the back. I hope that helps.
@@DIYGene yes, thank you. I appreciate it
Great work!! This inspired me to go back to woodworking!
Then I have done my job😄 thanks for watching.
❤. I really love this package knowing what the sun does to the ice chest
I really love the look of the cedar. Thanks again Robert.
Well done Gene! Best from Portugal! :)
Thanks so much! Greeting’s to Portugal.
You sir, are a very skilled maker! I’m glad I found your channel! You just gained another subscriber
Thanks Jared, and thanks for watching and for subscribing.
What hinge was used for the lid?
I used 2 Black 2.5" Hinges: creatoriq.cc/4aKrcdq
Sorry I should have shown that in the video. I put a list and links to all the materials and a cut list in the description below the video. Thanks for watching.
Lol, it's a roll around tool cart made of wood, lol snap-on is going to sue you lol
Not a bad idea. LOL
Awesome job Gene, G’day from Australia.
Thanks Scott! And thanks for watching.
if not using the crown mold stapler and choosing instead the brad nailer, what size nails should be used?
@@bggjjhljk, I would use 1.5” or 1.75” if they have it. Thanks for watching.
You did a awesome job young man.i want to make one...
Thank you sir. 😄
What size boards for the shelf?
I just used some scrap that was 1,25 wide.
Always fun to watch something being build by Gene, your finishing touches make it pop. Hugs from Belgium - Daniella.
Ahhh Thanks Daniella, Do how much longer in Belgium?
@@DIYGene
I'm looking at 2025 to move to my son in Maryland. It's sooooo much paperwork -from both sides- phew, I wonder why.
It will be awesome to buy tools in the US and work on projects with the help of your videos after I settle in.
Thats great. I am excited for you.

lefties have to stick together
👍 Yes!!
👍 You have that right! LOL
My friend it is cool.
👍👏🇺🇲
Great build. Nicely done. Thanks for awesome instruction. Now have a cool one!!
@@tooshieg2059 Thanks so much for watching.
Simple and beautiful! Congrats
Thanks so much, it was really simple and works great. Thanks again for watching
Absolutely beautiful, love it ! 😇👍🏼
@@Trendsetta68, Thanks so much. It was so simple to make too. Thanks for watching.
Gene nice looking cooler. There are easier and faster ways to build these. But thanks for another version.
Thanks for watching.
are these Cedar Fence Boards fairly straight when you get them
They are not bad. I had one board that had a curve but was able to pull it in. But you can select boards when you pick them out.
Nice apron Conan ……..
