I kept the freezer top and cut into it with a hole saw. I used liquid nails to attach the built wood top to the freezer top. It is fairly heavy, though I can prop it up easily with some wood. If I need to swap a keg or change the co2 then I do need to pull it about 8-10 inches from the wall...

I gotta say, I got quite a laugh from this. Well done! While I am just sharing this build, I did start it about a year ago so no new specs. Maybe in the next version :)

Valid point. I do not have a photo of it but the plywood shell is only 3 sided. The rear is wide open. Plenty of ventilation. :mug:

I'll make the hockey sticks and see how they work out. My idea with the pucks is to paint one side with chalkboard paint so I could write the name of the beer. For fun, I attached one of the hockey player bobble heads last night. It is pretty funny watching the head bobble around when pouring...

Yep, I have several broken sticks in the garage that I am holding onto just for this reason. We'll see how it turns out. I have a few different ideas.

Put the top back on and checking out the look with the net: Added the Stainless Steel look laminate and re-installed the temp controller.

Changing the top design a little and glued with TiteBond: Temp controller is mounted through the collar and the outer shell. Also got the holes drilled for the net/tower. Stained the oak on the top and started painting the ice. You can see the toilet flanges in the 4" holes which...

Built the net and checking the placement before sanding and painting: 4 Perlicks Painted the net/tower red: Access door: Love temp controller:

Here are some progress pics of the build. Some are crappy cell phone pics, but provide the idea. Also, I didn't take the most thorough amount of pics. Often I was in the groove and just kept building. First: the project got me this new toy. Getting an idea of size for the "net"/draft...

Ooops I left that piece out. These specific ones actually came from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30055760

Thanks, appreciate it. I think I impressed myself with how it turned out. Thanks. I actually didn't paint it. It is a stainless steel "look" laminate. These pcitures can't really do it justice. Up close in person, you can see the brushed stainless marks in the laminate (it has actual brushed...

I built my keezer about a year ago but wanted to finally share some photos since I learned so much from you all during my research. I started with a Whirlpool 8.9 cu. ft. freezer. These are photos of it mostly finished. If you want to see some during the build I can put a few of those up too...

Cheers and welcome from Ashburn

Here are some close to finished photos of my keezer build. For my first woodworking project, I am happy with the results.

Quick question about shanks. If I currently have 2" shanks, like: http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/faucets/shanks/SHANK2.shtml Can I convert them into Tower Shanks with elbows and have them fit a 3" tower? Like...
