Beer Tote / Beer Caddy

This weeks (months) project is a beer tote / beer caddy. Made from Maple and Cherry. Finished with Teak oil.
I was originally using Walnut instead of Cherry but ran out of wood, so some shots show the Walnut. Sorry if it's confusing!
I cut a lot of sanding and finishing from the video. That's not fun to watch (or do!). But I did a few stages of sanding at different grits and 2 coats of finish on the entire project.
This item will be a raffle prize at my upcoming Stag and Doe. Filled with beer of course!

Very nice!

[@kambacon6925]

That's one of the best beer caddies I've seen! I like that the sides are dados and don't stick out! Awesome

[@mccrone]

Thanks! I am glad you like it :) I really should make some more as I gave this one away as a prize.

[@darrannewman7113]

A great caddy, just how i like it easy enough for a group project

[@mccrone]

Thanks!

[@ForestTaber]

Now that's a pencil! Great project and better result. Cheers!

[@mccrone]

Thanks! My sister got them for me as a gift. I really like them. Thanks for watching!

[@andykerr7656]

Sorry in Australia these would nood to be three times the size of this.

[@mccrone]

I believe that haha!

[@steveneugene339]

I like what I see. Thx. Would love to see or hear sizes/ specs ,just a idea. Thx again

[@mccrone]

I don't have the item anymore, but I believe it was 5.5" deep, 10" long, and 10" tall. Give or take. I ended up just buying 6 beers and measuring based off that.

[@Bekim8310]

This is the nicest beer tote I've ever seen, great job!

[@mccrone]

Thanks! Glad you liked it, thanks for watching.

+justin vanduyvenvoorde Thanks! :D

[@legrandeileen4863]

WOW

[@barryroberts6470]

Brilliant, one the best builds of a beer caddie i have seen. You should make a pile of them and sell em, i'm sure you would make a bit of cash. Do you have any dimensions or a PDF? Just checked your other videos and you stopped 5 months ago, pity cause your work is good and i would have subscribed to see more of it. Barry (ENG)

[@mccrone]

Thanks Barry! I actually got comissioned to make another one for Christmas so maybe I'll film that as well and post accurate dimensions and provide plans. I got married recently so that's why no videos. We did everything ourselves and it was a ton of work. But I got 3 videos on the way, one I hope to post this week. So you picked a good time to find me, haha. Thanks for watching!

[@1cgower]

nice

[@FcoJaviher2406]

What a great video, congratulations! What do you think of soda openers made of zinc alloy?

[@mccrone]

Thanks! I actually didn't consider the material the openers were made from. I believe I got these ones on amazon at the time. Is zinc a lot weaker?

[@keithdavis4056]

Great project and I would love to make a few of these myself. Could you share some dimensions perhaps?

[@mccrone]

Thanks William! Sorry for the late reply but I was looking for my notes when I made this. It looks like the dimensions are 122 x 183 + tht thickness of your dividers. I think mine were 5mm. I recommend just grabbing 6 bottles and testing before ya make any cuts though. That's how I came up with my final sizes. I got commissioned to make another one of these for Christmas so I'll try and make a followup video and put dimensions in that one.

[@keithdavis4056]

Thanks, I'll be looking forward to it.

[@paologuastadisegni234]

Keith Davis Get a six pack of beers and make your own dimensions!!! Jeeeez Nice caddy tho

[@milekzdf2436]

this is no good without beer j.k. very nice

[@mccrone]

Thanks. haha. I was on a cider kick at the time :)

[@sumandl]

dude.. great project but u need more viewers!

[@mccrone]

+SAWBLADE PROJECTS Thanks! I'm working on it :) Once the weather gets nicer I'll be trying to do 1 project a week and I think that will help!

[@xeniaholm496]

what is the dimensions?

[@mccrone]

The dimensions are 122 x 183 I recommend you just get 6 beers and measure around them. In Canada we have pretty standard cans/bottles so it's relatively easy. Be sure to account for the thickness of your dividers as well. Mine were 5mm

[@larryarnemann7274]

why do a video of building something with no info on what you're doing? what a wasteful beat off session

[@danielvega1859]

Hah, was was that too complicated for you to follow?
