Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

So, I have been growing more and more unhappy with looking at a coleman cooler sitting in my living room. A week or so ago my father ad I decided to take on a project to camouflage the cooler into something nicer. and here it is.

We used 3/4" birch plywood for the structure and the moulding is 3/4" x 3/4"
pine quarter round. It will be getting a nice semi clear pecan stain this weekend.

Sweet...came out looking great! Great idea too.

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Well done on hiding the cooler, you and your father did a nice job.

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Genious! If I had a penny for every look I got when I tell people I keep my cigars in a cooler I can only imagine the looks when you show people yours! Rolf!

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Great idea! All the humidity savings of a cooler and all the visual appeal of of a fine humidor. You are the man :tu

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!

I still like the sponge though :r:r

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Nice camo for your cooler bro!! :tu

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

That's pretty sharp looking!:tu

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Wow thats pretty awesome looking. All you need to do is line it with some cedar and boom you got yourself one nice lookin man sized humi. No idea what Spanish cedar runs although I imagine its a fancy nickle.


I got a good chuckle out of your "other" humidor. Placing it next to a box of Pardon's is what takes the cake :r

Edit: Upon further review I realize that you put them dog rockets IN a Pardon box....oh my.

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

:r :r I remember that!! :r :r You have come a long way my friend. Great job.

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!

Looks great Mark. Nice job. Do you deliver also?

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

I cant decide whats pretter, the cooler conversion, or the padron box with the sponge :)

great job Mark!

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Nice work, great idea!

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Super job on your humidor hideaway.

Chris....

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Far more cost effective and nicer looking than the ones Target makes. Great job!

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Nice looking cabinet :tu

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Very nice! I love the Greek key molding.

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

great job! that looks really nice :tu

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

That is a really good idea, I like it:tu

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Awesome idea, and the wife will just think you made a nice end table..... now to find a way to lock it?:rolleyes:

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Good job Wolfie, it looks great. And I had forgotten the ugly humidor contest. You've definitely come a long way bro.:tu

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Yep...looks great. I have been tired of mine coolerdor just sitting around. This has definitely given me some ideas.

Re: Ugly coolerdor problem.... SOLVED!
 

Wow, that looks damn fine. I'm definately interested in doing this since my cooler is just an eyesore. Could this be done with Home Depot cut boards, a drill, and varnish?
