Tool box Cooler
I found this in another thread.. but didn't want to highjack the topic.. just the idea. I love your undercover cooler. :)
THENEWGUY What did you use in the middle.. looks like a tin box? Did you fabricate that? Styrofoam lined? |

Re: Tool box Cooler
Thanks!
I lined the top and bottom with Styrofoam. Then lined the bottom with .035" thick stainless steel sheet stock. I used a rubber mesh to cover the exposed Styrofoam. Works very well, ice will last a long time. 100_0632.JPG |

Re: Tool box Cooler
Ok rubber mesh like from a tool box liner? I love this thing.. can't wait to get working on it.. does the styrofoam get wet? or does is the stainless steel sealed?
I was thinking of putting a mold in the middle and then using a spray in foam.. just not sure if it will be hard enough. |

Re: Tool box Cooler
The rubber mesh is shelf mat material for campers. Kind of sticky so dishes and things won't slide when moving. I bought a couple of those cheap styrofoam coolers and cut them up for the material. The stainless is sealed using clear silicon. I also used the silicon to hold the styrofoam and mesh in place. The styrofoam is imperious to water so it won't get wet but a little water still gets between the tool box and the stainless but it will drain right out and dry no problem. Post up some pics of your project.

Before
After I just finished this one.. i think it might be a little big, and i still have to figure out how to mount it. I found a little diamond plated tool box at harbor freight i think i'll try your undercover ice chest with. |
