The chest freezer is Maytag 15 cu. Ft. I built the base using 2x4 and 3/4 play wood. The box I mounted 2 x 4s vertically as the frame and placed 3/4 oak plywood. I placed the oak because I wanted a smooth surface for the copper. I used 1/2 x 4" cheery on top of the oak to make the frames. The box is about about 12" wider on the long side than the freezer and about 4" longer on the short side. I added a fan to circulate the air around between the box and freezer. The lid I felt was going to be to light for what i was adding to the top, so my thought was to add 1x1 frame to the existing lid. When I was taking the lid apart, I destroyed it. I ended up having to build a new one with foam and wood. I put marine varnish on any wood that might come in contact with any condensation. The top is very heavy my guess 150 lbs give or take. That's why I added a Linear Actuator, it's rated for 1000 lbs over kill yes. The faucets are Perlick 575ss on roughly 10' of 3/16 beer lines with 90deg tail pieces behind each shank. Currently I have the c02 in the freezer and the manifold in the coffin. I am going to move the c02 bottle and place it on a bracket behind the keezer and run the line into the coffin, i still need to give that some thought on how I'm going to penetrate the back of the coffin.
