Another Dual-Hinge Keezer Build

Looks great! The room for two more cornies, I'm guessing that is on the hump, so you made the collar tall enough? If/When you do that, will the tank still be able to sit in there or will you have to move it to the outside?

I cant wait til I have my own place, big enough for one of these bad boys...

I just finished my keezer and thought I'd post a few pics. I know there are a lot of these already, but I couldn't have done this without them. And I hit a few road humps that I'd like to share.

Freezer is the Magic Chef 7.2 cu ft, and the collar is made of 1x8 oak.

Oak is a beautiful wood, and very hard so it should hold up to knicks and scratches. However, make sure you have the right tools when working with oak. It is VERY hard wood.

Among the damage to my tools caused by this wood:
Discharge bag on miter saw caught on fire (b/c my blade wasn't sharp enough, got really hot, shot burning saw dust into the bag), and I broke 2 drill bits (you should use the titanium coated bits, or ones rated for metal)

I installed two sets of hinges, one set attaching the lid to the collar, and another attaching the collar to the freezer.

That co2 manifold looks to have been made from harbor freight air tool distributors.... sold for $1 each.... I used them too.

Looks good.
