Had to upgrade!

Ismith75 · 12-17-2010, 11:53 AM

Decided it was too much work to keep running around fighting with mutiple desktops so I finally upgraded to a coolidor. Too proud of it not to show it off!

Nice! Actually a pretty cool setup with the shelves and stuff.

awesome...did you use a dremel tool or something to cut the slots?

jesseboston81 · 12-17-2010, 12:04 PM

That looks great! Take another picture for us in three months or so when it's full to the brim and you realize you need something even bigger!

hscmit · 12-17-2010, 12:05 PM

Some coolers already have "slots".

Subvet642 · 12-17-2010, 12:09 PM

Wow, nice work! It's giving me ideas...

12-17-2010, 12:22 PM

Wow that looks nice! When the time comes that I need a new one I think I'm going to steal some of your ideas here

captain53 · 12-17-2010, 12:43 PM

That is a first class setup! Enjoy!!!!

Nice! I love my cooler....how thick is the cedar on the lid and what did you use to hold it in place? I am thinking about doing the same thing.

It's quarter inch sheet Spanish cedar. I used Loctite Power Grab to secure it, placed clamps on the top while it dried for 24 hours. There is very little odor but I'm going to leave it open for a couple more days just to be sure.

Might I suggest taking a few pans with baking soda and placing them in your coolidor and closing the door for a couple days. That should take all the smells right out.

Nice looking coolidor . Another one falls down the slope !

Sancho Fuente · 12-17-2010, 03:54 PM

Not often you see a cooler set up like that. Very cool.

pektel · 12-17-2010, 03:59 PM

You gonna leave it vertical like that?

Awesome to see a cedar lined coolerdor.

J0eybb · 12-17-2010, 04:02 PM

I love the wide cedar. I ordered a bunch of cedar for my cooler, but it was only 4" wide.

Nice looking set-up Ian. Let's see a photo once you have the hygro, beans, and "other stuff" in there
