So I'm pretty poor when it comes to construction. Never done any wood work before. That being said, I'm quite proud of this thing!

I have an external thermostat controller keeping the temperature just above freezing

There's the probe

I used a 140mm computer fan to reduce air stratification. The thing draws 0.7 watts!

It's powered by a 12v garden transformer

The drip tray is removable and connected with 8 rare earth magnets, 4 glued to the freezer and 4 to the tray. I tried with just 4 magnets but the tray would just keep sliding down the freezer.

Looks great! I may have to steel that idea for the manifold.
 
Looks good to me!

Most will say that you'll need that temp probe attached to some thermal mass, to help lessen your compressor cycling.

And, the fan might serve you better, mounted down lower, since the cold air falls.

I would be proud of it too!
