Just a new handle for my cooler :)

Hey Guys,
Those that know me, know I've only been printing on my new Rmax2 for a couple weeks now, and all I can say is I love this machine!!. Its 2am and I can't stop printing lol. I am sure everyone here knows the feeling.
Anyways... I am very new to 3d printing and even newer to SketchUp. My wife mentioned her frustration today at a Coleman cooler which has 2 broken handles as she attempted to move it said, "You want to print something useful? Print me some new handles for this cooler."
I didn't find any on thingiverse so I booted up Sketchup and designed a new handle myself. 2 hours later, a finished, printed product. I may be new, but still have that amazed feeling when I go from need to design to print to finished product.
I know this is not an impressive achievement to many skilled CAD guys out there but this is a giant leap for me.
Check out my new cooler handle...... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:349433
PS>> Handle fits and works perfectly and most importantly, the wife is happy.
