Yep - has made the project MUCH easier!
Jester, gotta and it to you, I really liked what you were doing with it, and then I saw the lighting and it really made it rock! I love that idea. I am going to incorporate that into mine. (when I build it) You rock man. good job

Hey IrregularPulse, I tried to PM you back, but you are over your quota. I sent you one of the keezer SketchUp files to play with.
Excellent! That baby is really coming along!

Wow!! That is great! Looks like I have another project to put in queue.

Be sure to use a tile sealer on the marble-it is very susceptible to staining, especially being such a light color.
Would be a bummer to have a stout stain in it.
For sure, it will be sealed. And in addition to sealing it, by removing the drip tray, all the pieces can be removed and replaced if any should get damaged, or if I feel like changing the color.

Ok, so slowly running this thing to ground!
Here is the top (without the coffin) attached to the freezer, held up with a prop.
Here is what it will look like assembled - the boards on top of the coffin have not been attached. Once the glue has fully cured, they will be attached.
Here it is with 5 of the 7 taps in place. I don't have the other 2, so I only drilled the 2 outmost shank holes to within 1/4 inch of the face (just when the pilot point broke through.) When I get the new hardware, I can just drill the last 1/4 inch from the front, using the pilot hole as a guide. In the meantime, I'll just plug the pilot holes with a couple of nice brass screws.

Yea yea yea nice pics and all, but more importantly, when are you updating the 'other' thread?
This is an awesome project! When I finally get my own place/woodworking shoppe I will be stealing your ideas to make my own altar-keezer.

I don't care how handy Jester is...he's the lucky one in that relationship! And I bet he agrees with me.

Well, it still needs plumbing (only one tap is hooked up), some electrical, and of course the bottom cabinet still needs to be done, but for the short term, it's operational!!

That Keezer is very nice. Very very nice. I would say beautiful, but Red deserves that moniker, not the Keezer.
A completely fantastic job. That keezer will be a nice addition to any room in the house.
Thanks for taking the time to share the pictures with the rest of us.
What is the next project?
