Pallet Cooler Holder

Home Repair Tutor's plan includes a step-by-step video to help you build a cooler holder made from pallet wood. Any cooler can work for this project and you'll need several pallets for the plan. Just build the holder to match the cooler's size. For the best fit, you will need to tweak the cooler by removing handles, hinges, and wheels.
