DIY: Adirondack cooler bench

[@young928]

People like you inspire young joiners like myself. I'm 20 and trying to start my own home furniture business and watching these help me more than you will ever know! Keep it up.

[@GooseRustic]

That means a lot. I appreciate the nice words. KZbin has been a huge inspiration for me as well, I pick up a ton of stuff from makers. Starting your own channel and Instagram is a great way to showcase what you can do and get eyes on your stuff. Good luck Luke.

[@young928]

@@GooseRustic thank you for the support and appreciation it means a lot. As of now I'm trying to build up my tools but with financial situations it's a slow progress but in the mere future I wish to be presenting work such as yourself

[@GooseRustic]

Well thank you. I imagine you’ve seen Izzy Swan’s videos. He had some great videos for woodworking on a budget five or six years ago. He called it 50 workshop or something.

Real cool Set-T. I used to build outdoor wooden furniture.

Just found your plans on your website thank you

[@latengocomoburro]

What we need to learn from this is that you do not need expensive equipment to build stuff. This guy made all of this with a $100 worth of equipment. *AMAZING*

[@GooseRustic]

Thanks for the kind words and support!

Love the plywood idea for the router

[@murraymacrae1450]

Wow. I want to make this. Yours looks amazing. I hope mine will look half as good. A cut list would be amazing too. I see other comments of interest as well.

I grew up next door to a man who made this furniture. He also built wooden swing & slide sets. All sat outside for customers to check out, and neighborhood kids like me to swing & slide on. Nice practical build.

Really liked this project. Great job! Trying to find plans for this.

[@GooseRustic]

Hey David, I just finished plans for single chairs I’m looking for some feedback on if your interested. They are free on my website for a couple days. I’m trying to find out if I need to change anything before I finish the bench plans.

[@davidorlando999]

@@GooseRustic What's the website, couldn't see it above. I'll check it out over the next few days. Thanks.

[@davidorlando999]

Found the site, plans for chair. Thanks, I'll let you know what I think.

[@GooseRustic]

Awesome, thanks. @@davidorlando999

[@davidorlando999]

@@GooseRustic I read through the chair plans and they are very detailed and look great. One question is on the back seat support that connects the two arm rest yo the back. What's the angle measurement of that piece (H)? The plans just show a half inch angle to edge but no degree. If you had the angle measurement it would be easy to rip on a table. Other 5han that the plans are very thorough and easy to follow. I'll try making one this spring once it's warmer outside. Thanks again!

[@jeevespreston]

I would sit down in this chair, and never get back out…

You don’t need a ton of stuff to make nice things. Just a little imagination.

[@johnhuggins5021]

What a FANTASTIC idea that takes a normal adirondack bench for two and allows us to keep our fav beverage(s) close by. I'm curious as to how much more difficult it would have been to have made this same bench with a curved back and curved seat for added comfort that could be enjoyed for hours? Have you considered that kind of build? Then we would never want to get up. LOL!!

Looks great and I purchased the plans. But I do see the 2x6 being 1 1/4 inch thick when they are at 1 1/2?

They are called 5/4” deck boards when you see them at the lumber yard or box store. They will be 1” thick when you put a tape measure on them

[@matthewfarrell34]

One question and one suggestion. Are you willing to share your plans and cut sheet? Have you thought about putting a cup holder in the arm rest? Simple hole with a couple of nylon straps to act as a stop for the can. I should have started out by saying that I really like it.

[@GooseRustic]

Hey Matthew thanks! I'm hoping to get a website going this summer with some plans on it. Trouble finding time for everything. I had thought about the cup holder, I like your nylon strap idea, that would keep things simple and cheap.

If you have children..girls or boys, PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE, instill this skill in them early!! Bring em out to the workshop with you,😍 Wow, I just love wood workers, carpenters, because ya'll can take anything, scrapes of wood, whatever, and create shelves, bookcases, side tables, butcher block island!! Jesus was a carpenter😍💖💖💖👍 Be blessed!! Just wondering, how much do you sell those for? They should be $1,500.00 dollars 😉👌💖👍

[@GooseRustic]

Thanks, I appreciate all that you said! I actually learned most of what I know about this from the internet, especially KZbin, there is such a vast amount of knowledge coming out of this community. And you better believe that as soon as my child is old enough he will be out there with me learning how to use his hands and his brain. Have a great day!

[@phuocle864]

should i use white pine to make this chair? If I choose white pine, what will I lose compared to yellow pine?

[@GooseRustic]

You can use any wood. White pine might be better quality over the yellow pine. Cedar is fantastic. I like to use the pressure treated pine because of the availability and the fact that it’ll last a long time without much maintenance. Using untreated pine just make sure you keep them painted or stained if they are outdoors.

[@loper245]

[@dynagroup6875]

Very nice video Mate. The great guidance that how I built this stylish bench in an easy way.

[@christined.3728]

I like it, and someone has probably already asked this question but I didn't read every single post--does that particular cooler have a drain plug in it? And even if it does, isn't it a little difficult to lift out a cooler half full of melted ice to be able to open the drain plug, or to just have to dump the water out? I'm going to build this but will figure out how to incorporate a drain w/a spigot like the rustic coolers have that people are making now. Other than that, I love this, looks fantastic and an excellent video. Thanks!

[@GooseRustic]

+Christine Daley Thanks for the kind words. This cooler did not have a drain in it and I built the cabinet around the cooler pretty tight to keep the cooler from moving getting out of alignment with the lid. So as an after thought I did just what your thinking and ended up putting a boiler drain in the back. Hope your build turns out well!!

[@johncoonradtjr.5141]

Waiting for you to post plans, good job .

[@haystack17]

Hopefully, I can save some people some hassle. This design from his video and plans is not supportive. It will pull out screws as you lean back. The back rest relies on a couple screws at the back of cross bar into the back of each arm rest. The arm rest pulls on the front and rips right out in no time. I bought the plans for the cut list and started building. A few minor changes but not structural changes. If you look 15 seconds into the video there are perpendicular braces behind the cooler. These are absolute game changers. After my 2nd one failed I messaged him and he said the crossbar was enough. It is NOT. After my third one failed which included a few different things it still failed. The first 2 failed twice. I have since added perpendicular pieces to the crossbar in the back on the 2 inside legs about 16 inches tall. Finally, it is solid. I could go over all of the other changes but the expectation for the cross bar being pulled straight back to support you leaning back is not physically possible. So if anyone buys the plans, add a couple vertical supports as they are not shown in the build or the plans.

[@manfred8938]

Would have been nice if you would have told the measurements of all of the pieces as you were cutting them and where each piece goes according to the measurements. And the use of gorilla glue would be a great help.

[@phuocle864]

Hello. Can you advise me on this? I live in Asia so imported pine is not very familiar. I am buying wood and they have run out of American pine only German pine. So what is the difference between German pine and American pine? I find it cheaper

[@GooseRustic]

I don’t know the difference between the two. I imagine they are similar. Your German pine may be cheaper because it’s easier to import. Buy wood that is cleaner, less knots, no cracks, straight boards that are not too warped. Any wood will work as long as you take care of them, keep them painted or stained or keep them protected from the weather and sun. You can buy the cheap wood and use that for now, maybe in the future you can buy better wood and build a nicer bench.

I’ve been woodworking for about 1 year now...when do you decide to use a jig or circular?

[@GooseRustic]

Any kind of jigs just help to make things quicker when you have a lot of repetitive things to do. They aren’t needed if you just want to measure for every cut or hole.
