So, I am probably half way there through construction of my keezer.
I chose the GE originally, because it was supposed to handle four kegs on the floor. However, that didn't work so well after it was delivered. I think I may have been able to bang them in, but I was then worried about denting something or not being able to get them back out.
So, my six inch collar turned into a 10" collar. That meant the whole thing was going to be taller than originally planned. Oh well. So, I ended up not using the wheels I had originally purchased. I am just going to put some felt on the bottom. I don't plan on moving it around much once it is set up.
The design of it was pretty easy, once I figure out what was going on. It is essentially a three sided box. The freezer sits inside the box. Then the lid is attached to the freezer, but doesn't actually interact with the box.
I am hoping to get the coffin built this weekend and start staining and finishing it. I used a kreg jig to do pocket hole joinery to make my life easier. Some of my joints are not perfect, so I may have to redo some of the trim.
Some pictures of where I am so far:
