Keezer: My turn!

First, thank you. To all those who have posted before and helped to shape my plan. I stole great ideas and learned where I can avoid trouble. So thanks. Second, my wife agreed to let me place the keezer in the dining room IF it was enough quality to deserve invading such a valuable space. And last, thanks to my friend Brad who had all the equipment and space to build. I hope beer is repayment enough.
Let me know what you think, everyone. This is the second thing I have ever built. Turned out well I think. Enjoy!

I should mention, the tap handles were made by the guys at http://www.hannmadecalls.com. I learned about them through the facebook page of Apex Brew Wares. Custom made and beautiful if I do say so.

It turned out great! Well done!

That is beautiful.

Looks real nice. Good Job.

WOW!

Very nice work.

What kind of wood did you use. Looks very rustic. how many different stains did you use to get this effect or was it the wood reacting differently. very nice. Cheers

Freaking amazing. Makes me want to make one immediately. I got a fridge with 4 faucets sittin' in the garage. Just gotta drill some holes and connect. Ain't gunna be pretty like this one. You have definitely earned some bragging rights.

I got the wood from a vintage lumber yard. All of it is reclaimed, different types of which I couldn't identify. They plained and cut the wood down to 2 & 3 inch panels for me to use. Expensive at $10 a square foot but I would do it again.

I some day plan on making something like that, but I plan on using reclaimed pallets for most of the lumber.

Kick A$$!!!!! Love the rustic reclaimed lumber.......Congrats!

Looks awesome, definitely jealous of the reclaimed wood idea.

Very nice!

What kind of grout did you use to secure the tile to the top? Are the tile glued directly to the plywood? Nice build!

I showed this to SWMBO & she told me if I can make one looking that good I can put it upstairs in the dining/living room. LoL...

I like the style using the tiles & reclaimed wood. Those tiles almost match our living room tables too, which is why SWMBO probably liked it.

Very nice looking build! Well done.

This is the kinda stuff I do for a living .... And that's some good craftsmanship right there !!!! Good job looks great !!!

I used sanded, gray grout. Whatever brand the depot had. They are set with adhesive to the plywood. My friend, who helped, has a tile saw and does tile installs on the side. Quite helpful.
