Default Who's made a kegerator from a deep-freezer with a wooden collar ?

Who's made a kegerator out of a deep freezer with a wooden collar ?

I think I've seen pics in BierMuncher's gallery similar to what I want to build.

Anyone else made their kegerator this way and have some pics or advice to share ?

I want to start building one maybe middle of Janurary after all my xmas stuff is paid for.

for some reason, maybe that I'm a glutton for punishment, I want to dovetail the corners of the boards when I do the collar. Or maybe that's just my escuse for putting it off!

I notice that some people attach the collar to the freezer with the lid on top, other people attach the collar to the lid so that the collar opens too.

I kind of like the look of blefford's - thats sort of what I want, because I want to be able to lager in it during the summer or even put a full commercial keg in there sometime too.
