Starting to fill all holes and gaps. That bar rail was a pain to get the corners to come together

It's been awhile since I've worked on this but I've started putting the coffin fully together

Has anyone else had any issues on when cutting the holes to run the tap lines up through the top on cutting through the external metal of the freezer lid? I've got a 4" hole saw that just doesn't seem to be cutting it very well.

I do know that they both have these available, are they any good? I do not know. I would like to hear some people different experiences on using these products.

The bar rail is coming along nicely

Finished laying the top with some minor gap issues around the coffin

I have attached the coffin and began installing the bar top. I am using unfinished red oak flooring for the top. There is a reason for the large gap around the edges and that is the bar rail that requires a 4 3/16" gap for install.

Started building the coffin!! Here is the front. Waiting on getting a router so I can edge up the top piece as to where the faucets will go. I plan on putting some tile on the indented part below with recessed lights above. The coffin is 18" wide and 24" tall and 12" deep.

Got the sides up with some minor flaws but I don't think nothing I can't hide with some trim and bar rail in place.

Got the wheels on and the top attached. Unfortunately the hinges I wanted to use just didn't support the top well enough. Had to reattach the freezer hinges to the back. The downside to the hinges was the a set of the holes were too small and the screws just kept pulling out of the wood with...

Yes I am really hoping these work as a imagine them to so now I will hopefully be able to open up and exchange kegs without have to tip the whole top over like when using the freezer hinges. I will like to have a way to keep glasses on my keezer so it will be nice if I don't have to take them...

Here are a couple picks with the general framing built.
