I’ve seen other beer caddy designs and wanted to build one as a gift for a friend. But wanted my version to have a different design than what I’d been seeing. AND since I had some scrap wood to use up from the Laundry Shelves and Modernized Cart to use up…
I got busy drafting:
sorry for the horrible sketch, I was rushing to get my ideas down.
I used some of these measurements to get started. But I didn’t want the “A” frame look. I was going for more of a boxy crate design.
I really like how this project turned out. And I finally found an excuse for the existence of instant coffee. It made a really nice all natural wood stain.
Here are some pics from the process:
-
- I got a little pocket hole happy. Love my new pocket hole jig. I decided not to use pocket holes on the 2nd caddy.
-
- Installing partitions.
-
- Fancy screws.
-
- Sand it smooth.
-
- Staining with instant coffee.
-
- Another coat of coffee stain.
-
- Twisted wire handle.
-
- Added the bottle opener.
-
- Caddy #2 with open side rail profile.
