These are great! I just built a beer caddy (got a kit with everything I need to build this through hatchkits.com) and am looking for additional projects as they only have one other kit at the moment — what did people build after this that required a similar level of skill?
I made four of these, but I had a suggestion that would make it it a bit easier. For the bottom, I found that if you start the 1/4-inch grooves 2.75 inches from the edge (on both sides), you’ll have a much easier time. Also, I did not make the inserts as wide here – just cut the groove on one side, rather than both. It’s still very sturdy. Furthermore, I can’t imagine making this without a table saw -too many cuts! However, unlike the video – I do not have a router. So, I used a table saw with a standard blade and then offset the cut enough to make the groove.
Hi Debora,
We added a YouTube video at the top of the page that explains much better.

Hey there…are there anymore directions to go with this beer tote? I know its pretty self explanitory, but a little more direction would be awesome, especially for the inserts.
thanks bunches,
