Project Steps

1. Step: 1

   

   First start by cutting your wood as shown in the cut list to the left.

2. Step: 2

   

   Start assembling the frame of the beer tote by arranging the boards as shown and gluing and nailing together with 1" brad nails.

3. Step: 3

   

   Finish out the frame by adding the other side, again using 1" brad nails.

4. Step: 4

   

   Now is the best time to sand and stain your project.

5. Step: 5

   

   Now add your 1/4" thick rails as shown using 1" brad nails.

6. Step: 6

   

   Finally add your handle and bottle opener and your done! Note: My bottle opener came with 3/4" screws and since one of those gets screwed into only 1/2" thick material I had to purchase a 1/2" screw so it would not blow out the other side.
