That first idea was really cool. What a great idea to have something for a party. And people don't have to bed down to get a drink and I love how you put that area to catch the bottle caps.
The first one was pretty good. It's a good thing the cooler can be removed to empty and clean as needed. The bottle cap holder needs a slide out bottom for emptying the caps into a bag. Or you could put a bag in there in the first place but clip it in place so it doesn't fall in. Otherwise it was an awesome idea.
It would be easiest if the cap catcher is wide enough and shallow enough so that you can reach in with your hand and pull out the caps. Otherwise, a magnet can pull out the bottle caps. (I haven't drunk from a bottle with a cap in years.) Other things: Even cedar fencing needs to be treated to avoid decay. He used Titebond Premium Wood Glue (1:04), which is waterproof, but not all wood glues are suitable for projects that get wet, so choose your glue carefully. Personally, I don't have space for a permanent cooler stand that I would rarely use, but that's just me.
The first one was awesome! The third one, 😠😢 I wish people would stop tearing apart and destroying vintage or antique furniture instead of restoring it to its former glory.
Yes! For the age, that beautiful dresser was in wonderful condition. I can't believe she was going to throw it out. Nor can I believe she butchered it.
The first DIY was pretty good! Especially if your house is the spot where everyone goes to have barbeques! The last dresser into a bar revamp was really nice too!❤
The first one gave me so much life. Cannot WAIT to try it myself.. or get my son to 😍 But that last one straight deleted me. & in such a horrific way too 😢 Edited: Thank you for the coaster ride. Stay Blessed
Cool ideas 💡! I really liked the first and last one! The middle one needed to be better thought out. Like adding a cushion or something. Blessings and Peace ❤️✝️
Nice. So to get the water out you have to lift the whole cooler out to dump it. Or did you make an opening for the coolers drain plug but didn't show it in the video?
Thank you so much for this video! Three very cute & fresh ideas that I don't think that I've seen before. I have to say that the "Christmas in March" video a few days ago had me wondering why I watched this channel? Now I remember. It's because of the good craft ideas. So, thanks again for the content & to the crafters for their ideas & great work! 👍
3 things about making the first cooler. It looks great, but be sure to use *waterproof* wood glue and apply an all- weather sealer to the wood. Finally, how are you supposed to remove the bottle caps from that narrow cap catcher? 🤔 I'd probably make a removable receptacle to hang below the bottle opener or just flatten one side of a small tin bucket to hang flush against the cooler case under the opener.😁
I've got a better use if you have a backyard. I've been using various coolers just like that as a fireproof, burglarproof safe for valuables you would store in an expensive safe. I bury them in a nice garden setting with the top at ground level. Put a paving/flagstone type over the spot. Been doing this for decades.
The ottoman cooler needed the excess fabric cut away from where the lid fits. You could adhere tape trim to cover the edges & not interfer w the lid closing. The suggestion of adding some foam or pillow on top is a good one. The only problem I see w using this for an actual cooler vs a storage ottoman is pouring the water out & getting the fabric wet & nasty.
Love the cooler first cooler video. I agree with others that the same type of cooler used in the first video would work as well for the video of the ottoman & provide much support, but what an awesome way to reuse a styrofoam cooler that probably be taking up space in a landfill somewhere. Saw some of the comments & wanted to mention that I have watched the DIYer in the first video on several other projects & he is very thorough so I am sure he left an opening for the drain spout & also a way to remove bottle caps from container easily. Only so much time can be allotted to DIY projects shown on HT, so I’m sure he had to keep most info specific to the cooler housing build info. Wanted to ask if anyone happens to know his name or if he has his own channel I could look up? Really like his attention to detail on instructions. TIA
You can beef up an old cooler by drilling holes around the top rim and then spray in some expanding foam. They don’t use a lot of foam from the factory.
Filling the insulating hollow areas with foam/anything has the opposite effect. The hollow area is designed to creat a chilled area around the cooler space so the ambient doesnt draw the chill out of the inside. When u fill that area it acts as a heated/warm blanket sucking the coolness out even faster. Depends on the outside temp i guess
Is that so? I filled my lid with half a cup of salt and 2 thirds of water and freeze the lid before reattaching when needed and I use 3 x 2"dia pipes with caps 50/50 water with half a cup of salt and frozen to go in the bottom with some stainless mesh on top to make a false bottom
Useful projects & ideas. The middle project was a bit rough in execution. And I wonder about it's comfort. Even rigid foam can be rough on the heels & ankles after a bit. And orange?
Like the first one w/a couple of additions: The catch for the bottle lid should have a removable cup inside that can be lifted out and dumped. The finished cooler needs some wheels.
I loved the first guys project, I have at least twelve cooler boxes at home with about three with broken hinges on the lids, guess what I am going to do?
@@brianh6272 But the handles are shown as being down after it’s in the box. If they remained up, to be able to use them to remove and empty the cooler, the new top would not be able to close. It’s cute, but it’s not practical. Also, the styrofoam cooler is going to be demolished the first time someone plops some heavy feet on it, or if someone thinks that it’s an actual piece of furniture and sits on it! It would have been better to construct a wood box to encase an inexpensive styrofoam cooler, making it sturdier.
Add a little hinged flap where the cooler drain is on the 1st one if it has one so you can reduce the weight for removal 7/or make room for more ice...
I think I'd have used superstrong Velcro on the first one to secure the lid to the wood. I could then still use the cooler for mobile trips to local campgrounds. Nice otherwise.
pro tip ---- when gluing the fabric to the cooler, Spray BOTH the fabric AND the cooler! wait until it tacks up, the stick them together,,, you won't need pins that way
I think they should have used the foam cooler for the first project and the poly- container for a seat or stool. The poly body would be stronger to take the weight. Otherwise, good.
P.S. how do you clean the fabric covered on? It might be easier to elasticate the outer edge of the lid piece and the same for the bottom piece. They can just be pulled on and off quickly and be thrown in the laundry!
The legs of the ice chest cooler should have been made like an elephant stand . This cooler stand is too top heavy for straight legs and will easily fall over because of the center or gravity . It does look attractive . 119/23
The first was the best one. Dude narrating it reminded me of Bob Ross. I was ready to paint some happy trees.
clear enunciation - concise details - narrator is on point ...
AAAAMMMMMAAAZINNG!!😀💕🎉🎉👍👍 I really like ALL of these, except the orange fabric cooler.....😶
I LOVE the first one. His voice is always so soothing.
Totally agree! Wish I knew who he was so that I could look up if he has his own channel. I think it might be GoodlyEarth
Was about to ask if anyone knows who this DIYer is and if he had his own channel?
That first idea was really cool. What a great idea to have something for a party. And people don't have to bed down to get a drink and I love how you put that area to catch the bottle caps.
It's cheaper to use the first video idea with the second video item.

That was what I wondered. I guess it takes a woman to think about how practical something is. 😂
@@Mimito5 Hey now....😉
Was thinking same thing about slide out idea

I agree! The results were pretty hideous too!
that one hurt 😱
Yes! For the age, that beautiful dresser was in wonderful condition. I can't believe she was going to throw it out. Nor can I believe she butchered it.
😢 i totally agree!
They are a disposable generation.
They don't care about history any longer.
Loved the dresser hack the best!!!!!!
The Bob Ross of DIY. Great vid!
I really enjoyed this video.
Loved the first one!
The first DIY was pretty good! Especially if your house is the spot where everyone goes to have barbeques!
The last dresser into a bar revamp was really nice too!❤
Only problem was putting the hoes all the way thru the lid as that would melt the ice faster.
Love this cooler stand. Turned out great
I just love the first guys voice and presentation,and yes that cooler was cool👍🏽
The first one gave me so much life. Cannot WAIT to try it myself.. or get my son to 😍
But that last one straight deleted me. & in such a horrific way too 😢

Love the first cooler “Hack” really beautiful and useful I did not like the other two.
I'm lov'n you guys adding tutorials to these videos... thanks for listening to us; it just makes 4 awesome content!
All great ideas! I especially love the first one.
Best idea I’ve seen yet!!! Great job!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😃😊👍🏽

Love the coolers hacks💚👍💚
Phkn Amazing ma G !!!! Am havn fam over from c. amerika. And i will follow yo video to build one !!! Phkn amaxing ma G !! ✨👍
Love the first idea a lot but using the second video ice box. Great idea.
Did you notice that the cooler lid fits the base upside down? Makes a great serving tray,Subbed😎👍

I'm flipping out trying to count the number of self-designated geniuses UA-cam seems to produce.
I really liked this. I’m going to do this!!!❤
That Man is the Bob Ross of wood working💖
you could make a slide to remove the caps out the holder would be nice
That is cool as heck!

Yeah these are pretty cool I built one a few years ago for our pool parties
Thanks nice job god bless
Thanks so much

Great voice! Well done
I like the way he uses his Mr. Rogers voice. So calm and soft.
Happy little cooler...😂
It seems the first one would be hard to remove when even partially filled with melted water. The cost for components another -factor
What is melted water like?

The last person should be arrested for destruction of property with horrendous results.
It’s like a building Bob Ross! 😂 👌🏽
That beat tho!🎶🔥
Fill it with foam?
This freakin genius!!!!!!!
Your voice and cadence makes you sound like Mr. Rogers and the Painter Bob Ross! Pardon the pun but that's a Cool Idea!!
I like your Bob Ross narrating cool idea.
Side shelves would be a nice addition
Thank you, Genius
For some reason the way you’re talking reminds me of Bob Ross😂 after all you are creating art.
What kind of stapler is that?
What a fantastic idea! Now where is that old cooler .
LOL this hack is as old as the hills heh its been done and talked about around the campfire for years. But only new on social media👍👍👍
Cool
How are you going to get those bottle caps out ?
Pretty cool
How do you pull out the cooler to wash or drain it?
I’m looking for some kind of sink to go into minivan. Fresh water on one side and other side grey water. Thank you
What about the drain ????
The cooler can easily be removed to drain and clean.
@@Mimito5 yeah I guess since the handles cant go down after you use em to slide it in there
@@brianh6272 But the handles are shown as being down after it’s in the box. If they remained up, to be able to use them to remove and empty the cooler, the new top would not be able to close. It’s cute, but it’s not practical.

Good job. One thought, make something to attach to the drain so you can drain out the water without having to remove the cooler.
pro tip ---- when gluing the fabric to the cooler, Spray BOTH the fabric AND the cooler! wait until it tacks up, the stick them together,,, you won't need pins that way
This was...pretty cool >;J
COOL!!!
Awesome

Sounds like Bob Ross giving cooler hack tricks.
Cool idea but maybe a hole for the drain access.
My man is like if Bob Ross and Bob Villa had a child….of coolers.
Great ideas if the value of your time is less than $0.01 per hour.
Cool 😎
Idk about genius hack, I've been building wooden ice chest for like 15 years, but thanks for the compliment.
Is it going to make the cooler much colder….
Nice
Have fun draining the water from the cooler 😜
The first one was cool only thing that would of been cool is some trap door beneath the bottle cap catcher to empty it when it got full
wow!
(Respectfully) The first guy sounds like the Bob Ross of carpentry. . RIP Bob Ross.
The legs of the ice chest cooler should have been made like an elephant stand . This cooler stand is too top heavy for straight legs and will easily fall over because of the center or gravity . It does look attractive . 119/23
You should of used leather or leather like material.its easier to clean .great job
Nice👍🇺🇸✌️
Even better find a double wall box to fit the foam cooler first , zas this will give its wall more strength..
I don’t know I’m in flipping over the genius hack but I watched it
