I picked up a chest freezer off the local classifieds late last year for $75.
I started building the collar last night with 2x4's and used silicone to seal it to the bottom of the freezer. I took the handle off the lid because I want to use 1x8 trim and have it flush with the top of the lid.
Right now I'm thinking I should have sealed the collar to the lid. Not a big deal. I'll just have to scrape off the silicone from the 2x4's and get some more weather stripping. Having the collar attached to the lid will make the lid heaver but I will not have to lift the kegs up as high. Also the eye sore from removing the handle from the lid won't be visible with the collar attached to the lid. Thoughts? Pro's and con's to each?
