Instructions

  1. Small 112660 2f2015 12 31 013813 diy%2bbeer%2btote%2b 7c%2bfree%2bplans%2b 7c%2brogue%2bengineer%2b%2b2

    After cutting all the boards according to the cut list diagram (found on rogueengineer.com) I glued and nailed one side to the base and top.

  2. Small 112660 2f2015 12 31 013835 diy%2bbeer%2btote%2b 7c%2bfree%2bplans%2b 7c%2brogue%2bengineer%2b%2b3

    Then I glued and nailed the other side on using 1-1/4" brad nails.

  3. Small 112660 2f2015 12 31 013844 diy%2bbeer%2btote%2b 7c%2bfree%2bplans%2b 7c%2brogue%2bengineer%2b%2b6

    It may have been easier to sand and finish everything before assembly but I didn't so this is when the sanding and staining took place.

    Now the 1/4" thick side pieces get nailed in place.

    Finally, the handle and bottle opener get screwed in place.
