Make a Beer(soda) Tote

Beer Tote

I am no master wood worker, I am barely an amateur.  In fact, I shouldn't even use the word woodworker when talking about the things I have made.  Regardless, I love making things out of wood and am slowly getting better.

I found this little project online a couple years ago and ended up making one for my brother as a Christmas gift.  He likes it but probably rarely uses it.  It's a wooden beer tote with a handy little bottle opener on the side.  I used mainly scrap wood which meant it was cheap and I picked up that bottle opener from World Market. The image above is the one I made but here is the link to the plans as well as a photo of their tote.

Theirs has cleaner cuts but I am going to make another one for myself and hopefully I can improve. If you are looking for a fun project and/or want to give someone a handmade gift, this one is easy and useful. Would be perfect for someone that is really into craft beers.
Here are some more details images of the one I made.

And here is a really cool bottle holder I found on Pinterest but don't really know where to buy it.

Shop Update!

Praying Mantis Head

Shameless self-promotion train pulling into the station! Toot toot! I've been working hard trying to get some new products up in the ol' Etsy shop before Christmas rears its beautiful, tinsel-covered head. This weekend was the final push to get it all online and I've got to say, I'm pretty proud of the turn out. More animal heads, silkscreen prints, and the debut of something new that I'm really excited about: totebags!!
