Built this rustic cooler box with some old pallet wood that I had. Only things I had to buy were 4 pieces of 1x6 and some 1 1/4 deck screws. I made the cooler box about an inch bigger on each side so that I can put insulation board and filled the cracks with spray in foam to increase the RS value of the cooler for the famous Texas summers. This is the finished product of the wood work, but like all my other projects, this is constantly evolving. I'm going to put handles on each side, a handle on the top, a bottle opener, and a ball valve drain.
