Bruce the Postie Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Sharp eyes Mariner, Yes, those holes are for the hinges,and i think i'll stick with the old lid until i decide how to go about the new one. Thinking of routing out what i have and filling it with the foam i have left over , glassing over it etc. Also, this esky will be kept pristine and solely for the chilling of said refreshments. I have a perfectly good fish box to keep the dinner in. Thanks for your comments. Bruce. P.S. I think i better just go and have another look at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce the Postie Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) G'day all , Well , I put it all back together and i'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I'm still thinking about which way to go with the new lid so i'll stick with this one untill decided. New carpet next ? . Anyway, this project seems to be at an end (and just in time for the warmer weather ), so i'll leave you with some final pics.

Dreamtime Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Top job - smick as - well done. That is orange lemonade on ice I trust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce the Postie Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) Just went out to check how well this thing works. Sadly, all the beers are gone. But i estimate that about half of the ice is still there after 1 1/2 days. GOTTA BE HAPPY WITH THAT !

Cheers, Bruce It would be a shame to see the ice go to waste, better stock up on a few more beers. Just tell the that it's still in the developmental stages and requires a few more tests. That should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should work G'day Mariner, I like the way you think , but my would pick that as a piece of stand up philosophy right from the start. But, This afternoon , i did make sure that the Bourbon bottle would fit properly, and that it was able to be accessed from all seating positions. Cheers , Bruce.

Bruce the Postie Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 G'day again, Well i have decided which way to go with the lid(maybe). The plan is to rout out a section of the 18mm ply lid to a depth of 8mm or so , and then fill this space with the left over poly foam, round off the edges and add 2 layers of glass. Do any of you guys see any shortcomings with this plan? Any other ideas?. Look forward to any input. Cheers, Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce the Postie Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Sorry to drag this old topic up again,but i have finally gotten around to deciding what to do with the lid for my esky. After toying around with all sorts of ideas,most of which involved a lot of cash and mucking around,i thought bugger it, i'll just buy a ready made one.So i did,and i'm glad,it looks neat,and works like a pisser. What do you reckon? Cheers, Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
