Another Coffin Keezer Build

Started my coffin keezer build and would like to thank all those on here that have documented theirs over the last couple years. You have been a big help and inspiration for my project

Started with a Frigidaire 8.8 cu. ft chest freezer:



Built the base using 2x6's and some 3" casters from Home Depot:



Found a local sawmill to source my Appalachian Red Oak. I haven't decided on a stain yet, I'm going to go get a few samples and test them.




Here's the finished cabinet as of today. I'll get started on the top and coffin build later this week:

Very nice so far. Love the wood choice.

Keep it up!

that red oak does look nice!

Great progress so far! Looks like some very nice, high quality work....keep it up. Subscribed!

Got started on the top trim and tap tower tonight. Decided to scrap my original idea and build something more unique that also allowed room for pint glass storage. I saw someone else on here do something similar and I really liked it.

Nice!

I believe you are referring to this one by Reeg68bird:



I had wanted to do something like that as well, but didn't want to deal with the angled cuts.

Well, the woodwork is now complete. Time to start the electrical and plumbing, then on to staining.

Lookin very nice!

Coming along great....keep up the good work!

Been a long while since an update. Haven't been able to work on the keezer too much, but I did finally receive my granite tile and got started on the staining process. Only got the tap tower completed tonight:








Also got the electrical completed:

The stain color and the granite tiles really work well with one another. Nice work! Can't wait to see the finished product and pics of your first pint!

Looking good! I too like the complementary color choices.

Very Sharp!

What is the temp controller you're using and where did you get it? EVrything is looking great!

Great job! I hope mine comes out as nice.

Well, it's all stained and poly coated. Time to start the tiling and finish the plumbing and the beer will finally be flowing!

It's a Dwyer Industries Love TSS2 controller. I bought it directly from Dwyer for ~$80.

Any updates on this?

Nice looking build

Finally got around to completing the keezer. Let me know what you think.

Nice! I like the shelves.

Shades of Frank Lloyd Wright!

are all the outlets in you gang box tied to the controller or is just 1 tied to controller and the rest are always hot?

Sweet!!! nice job.

Awesome job!
How'd you affix your tiles to the plywood bottom? & did you grout between the tiles?

Thank you,
Colton

You have inspired me sir. I am looking to start on a coffin keezer build soon but being new to the build i had a few questions.

1. Are the lines running to your taps part of the refigeration or are they exposed to ambient tempratures.
2. How are lines exiting the freezer, did you essentially build a keezer, then a coffin around it?

Perhaps some pictures of the back would help.

NICE WORK!!
