"This, my friend, is a pint."
I've been planning this build for the last few months trying to decide which type of keezer to build. I purchased the Insignia 10.2 cu. ft. chest freezer from best buy.
Here it is in the basement with the lid already removed.

I was originally planning to use 2x10 boards for the collar but that required a special order and I'm impatient. I picked up two of the 2x8x8 red cedar boards from Menards and cut them to size.

Dry fit on the floor with clamps.

Moved the collar onto the freezer and secured the boards together using angle brackets also purchased at Menards.

I only secured the back to the sides as I still needed to drill my tap holes. I pulled the front board off and used the drip tray to line up where the holes will go.
