Figured you fine people might enjoy this so I am sharing it with you. If you see me/this in the campground come party! I have been wanting to build a cooler radio for the past few years after discovering the one below on youtube and decided this was the year to do it. This is what I will be working with(minus a few things that are still coming in the mail/need to be purchased) sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/577303_10151073603849688_783669687_13110324_1670507531_n.jpgTemplate I used for cutting the cutting board to fit the inside of the cooler. Cutting board after being cut. I am pretty amazed that this fit and fits well! I havent used power tools in 10+ years. This is as far as I have gotten so far. I will keep this tread updated as I progress further in building this awesome box of fun. *Half of my post is missing....weird.

It's cool that you can make that. are you building it so you can walk around the campgrounds playing your music, or is there another reason? Just asking because I'd assume you'd use your car to play tunes at camp.

Lahey is a campground wanderer, so bringing the beats AND COLD FUCKING BEER with him will be paramount. I wish I could be there to see this thing in action.

Last year I took a picture of a girl tooling around on a motorized cooler. Four little wheels, a motor inside, a little steering bar. If there had been tunes coming out of that thing she would have been the Queen of Sasquatch.

Ahh, yes. Cooler Girl. I remember her well. That's awesome, Mr. Lahey. You're a class act.

Just asking because I'd assume you'd use your car to play tunes at camp. Oh it will be coming with me, I have a battery in the mail. I am debating putting wheels on it to ease the carrying. Regardless, parties are going to be started. And that foam cooler boombox at Coachella was and still is the shit!

Looks great! I can't wait to find you roaming the campgrounds with it.
And I think wheels would make a great addition to the set-up.

I know I have one somewhere; probably on my Facebutt, but I can't access that from here.
The hilarious thing about Cooler Girl is how bored she looked sitting on a moving ice chest.

So casual. "It's no big deal! Just a freakin' drivable cooler!" Why not? Believe it or not, that is not the first time I've seen a motorized cooler. I have seen one at EVERY livestock show I've ever been to. "Romie, you go to livestock shows?" Yes. Alpacas mostly.

Great idea. I have a few questions though.
In the video the cooler is only a speaker box. Judging by your pics it looks like you're going to split it into a cooler and speakerbox. How do you plan to seal off one compartment from another? I assume caulking and the cutting board, but I want to hear your plans.
Secondly, I need to know where your priorities are. Will the smaller compartment be for speakers or beer? Your answer to this question may or may not completely change my opinion of you.
Thirdly, watch that thing like a hawk, because some drunk asshat is definitely going to try to run away with it if you leave it unattended.
Love it though.
