Want a quick and easy gift to take when you are an invited guest this summer that even the dudes will like? I have just the project thanks to Rogue Engineer. I love his detailed directions. Check him out.
Here is the link to his very detailed plans including how to cut and assemble.

Mr. Math cut four of these puppies out in less than an hour. We used reclaimed scrap wood so we probably had to work a little harder than necessary sanding, and adjusting for the wonky wood sizes but the wood was F-R-E-E. They were totally out of scrap wood left over from the media console.
The carrier works great for small bottles of soda as well as for beer and would be a fun host/ hostess gift for outdoor summer parties.
The total cost of the project for us was for the handle (check out ReStore if you have one close by) I paid two dollars fifty cents for my handles only because my hardware is all locked up in storage right now and our nearest Restore is thirty minutes away.
Bottle opener from Hobby Lobby ($1.49 right now.). They are 50% off at least once a month.
The first one is going to the sweet lady who called me to let me know she had cedar siding that she was getting rid of and wanted to know if I needed it. The wood for the project came off her house. She will enjoy seeing what we did with it. I left a lot of the green paint from her lake house on the cedar.
We added a lot of poly to the knot hole so that it won’t fall out. I love that piece of wood best.
The other three are headed to Charlotte, NC.
I can tell we will be making a few of these in the near future.
Mr. Math has already figured out the dimensions for a four bottle wine holder. I know I will have some takers on that, too.
I think the wine holders may be made from our red cedar hanging out in storage.
Oh how I long to have our shop up and running again! July is coming. Woo Hoo.
July 10 we close on our new spot.
