Cooler Bench | Build It | Ask This Old House

From the creator

Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva and host Kevin O’Connor build an outdoor bench that doubles as a cooler using cedar and copper. SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse. Tom Silva teaches Kevin O’Connor how to build an outdoor bench that doubles as a cooler. The cooler bench features a series of hinges to keep the lid secure on the top, a specially made copper bin, and insulation to keep beverages cool. The insulation is foil-face isocyanate rigid foam that is hidden between cedar and a copper bin. Tommy chose to use cedar as a frame for the bench because it is weather resistant and good for outside. Although he built his prototype with mahogany, cedar is a much lighter wood and will be easier to move around. Tom goes through the step by step process of making the fully functional cooler bench, so you too can make one of your own.
