How do you fancy the postage on my old home made coolbox ??? It’s an old sea chest but most excellent. Holds about six dozen bottles of beer and good for at least three days. I’m now doubting myself, why would I ever change that perfecto set up ?
That is part of the intention, but only have access to halfway but from both sides, maybe even another drawer or two. The bit I’m searching for ideas is the bit facing you as you open the slider. I’ll have another recce and see if Stella boxes might fit in there for the empties and the bottle tops, and maybe the rubbish too, a recycle centre sort of.
Beer pump on the side of that cabinet?!
Well I’ll be damned, I was looking at those yesterday. Sounds a good idea, not sure on the mechanics though. Gotta be cold though.
Well you’ve got the fridge to chill the keg!!Well I’ll be damned, I was looking at those yesterday. Sounds a good idea, not sure on the mechanics though. Gotta be cold though.
Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,we’ll now let’s just see !
Brilliant and good for you Pip, you knew it wouldn’t be standard I’m sure. Not sure if I’m keen on you being ‘Astonished’ lol. But so long as you like it. I didn’t get on it today, got called in to Asda with loads of drivers off poorly. But any progress is better than none.I'm astonished Ozzie, it looks great, managed to get Pip to have a look and she says it looks awesome.

You’re on that one aren’t you !!! You’ll have me being the local barman every time you pull up near me lol.
I’ve left some ribs in it to strengthen up the middles and relieved where the angle iron sits plus the raised sides of the toolboxes. This allows the top to sit down primarily on the two pairs of raised sides and the angle iron. There’s also a tongue styled continuation through between the front seats and the walk through. I’ve reduced it by 16mm mostly and a tad more where the angle iron sits.
Two coats at least required, it sucked it up like a sponge.
Top work!! As above, use the fridge as a keg cooler and have a a Stella pump on the top
The side space can be a urinal......Thank me later
Nice work!Some great ideas coming in there peeps. Got onto it for a bit today. So I’ve cut the top to size and trial fitted it then popped it on the scales 41.2 pounds for a top is fairly hefty but I’d like it to be strong enough for several reprobates to be sat on it. So I’ve scalloped and scavenged a fair bit out from underneath and that reduced the weight to 30.8 pounds, so a good ten pounds less or a quarter less weight.
