Beer Advent Calendar Build

[earle]

Been meaning to make a beer advent calendar for a few years but never get started soon enough before December.

After a bit of work with ruler and compass.

After lots of drilling with the hole saw.

Sizing it up with some poly pipe.

Plan is to add some timber to make the sides of the tree and trunk then paint all that green. The timber that came out of the holes will be painted different colours to decorate the xmas tree, behind each a different bottle of refreshing beverage.

Yep, nice project after Brewoomba yesterday.

Hmm, raw wood = less painting = less work. Tempted but will have to get approval

I went the lazy route and got this.

A bit more progress. Decided to leave it raw as suggested and go a different way with the sides.

but did you get approval?

so do you still need to put up a normal tree or are all the presents going under this one?

Looks awesome, how do you plan to refrigerate it?

Yep, got approval. Helps when it is going to be half beer and half cider. I thinks the kids might still like the big tree for their presents to go under. At least this helps ensure that they're not the only ones who get presents.

Ha ha, just got to remember to 'open' the calendar each morning, then refrigerate the prize for that night.
