Well, I feel obligated to do a little updating. I sat with sand paper a few days ago and put in some serious work. I have many of the main parts down to bare wood. I'm not doing well with selecting large bits of wood to fill in the gaps. My plan was to find used, stressed wood. FAIL. That is...

Let me holler at you on this one - because this is exactly what I'm struggling with. I have a little fan off amazon as suggested by another man on here. I have glued magnets to this thing that move my 1" stir bar and lock onto it when the unit is still. But, once I get the fan going on lowest...

whoa. gotta say, I'm excited about trying this project. Why not a stainless scrubby, or copper? Less cancer, perhaps?

any reason not to keg this? bottling is for the birds

We're going to be brewing Saturday for any Okies that want in. Let me know.

are you driving back? man yes I want some beers from the promised land! why is 2 row so cheap?

Chris was a good man, and will be honored in memory whilst we brew our balls off here in OKC. We'll send our love and respect up to the tundra. May Big 10 football suffer endlessly. If local OK brewers want to get a brew going, a group buy going, or work on your set up (all grain newbie)...

I thought about doing something a little more modern and functional like that. The keezer will be hanging out pretty close to my stereo, so any sound from that thing will probably just be distraction from License to Ill turned up to 11 in the room next door. A friend suggested that I hinge the...

Coming up next - probably tonight - is the stripping of the wood. I've been running up and down the antique radio forums for the best way to do this. Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether or not my radio has a lacquer or shellac finish - but I suspect lacquer. If anyone out there is interested...

Jon P - or maybe other folks, too - I love this idea. I'm looking into some fire extinguishers out there on CL and Ebay. They can be pricey. It seems like somebody out there thinks these things look great as refurbished lamps - without beer in them at all! Garbage. Anyway - there are a...

Moving on. I did some background reading on cutting old wooden veneer - there a couple good ehow videos. So I cut off the sides and now I have the top center piece basically figured out. I also talked to a friend that's an electrical engineer. I'm going to try and keep the faceplate, keep...

OK - got the photos up. FINALLY. Going to get back to work on it tomorrow.

What I'm planning - when I can get the pics to upload - is to do a little of what you mentioned. I'm thinking about getting one of those little homemade radio projects from a toystore and seeing if I can wire it in. When I removed the chassis, there was a TON of empty space. A little speaker...

Nope - I checked. Some guy bought a mint condition one for $50 - and mine wasn't mint. You'd be surprised, really. There's a relatively 'flooded' market, as the folks who really one an old radio have plenty of old people ready to get one out of their home. Mine was possibly worth less than $50.

OK - I've been working on Google Sketchup pretty steady to get the plan down. Basically, I'm going to use the sides of the radio as part of the sides of the keezer. I'll have to expand with different wood going back to the end, since the radio isn't as deep as the freezer. I'll take the top...

So, even though I continue struggling against the picture uploading Billy Goat Gruff, I want to keep on keeping on with this thread. Above, you [should] see 3 pictures of the original Philco and one of the phreezer (that's right). Here I go, breaking it down. The first thing anyone will...

The starting cast: a 14.8 chest freezer from CL for $125. It's friend, Johnson A19, is wired in back. Currently, my keg armada consists of 4 pin locks and two ball locks, a 5# tank, a 25# tank (free from a neighbor that works in the gas biz!), and a regulator. The Philco 41-290, like I...

Sages, I'm excited to start this project. I've been enjoying many of the Keezer threads and have tried to absorb as much knowledge as possible. Now, I'm ready to embark on my own build project. I'll be expanding an antique radio to become a cabinet style keezer. I begin this thread...

So you're telling me there's no Santa or Easter Bunny?

Good afternoon everyone. I've purchased a cheap chest freezer for serving my beer. I'm also thinking about doing a fermentation chamber, one day. The power company has a new gig where they come out and install a fancy thermostat for your AC. I already had one that was programmable, and...
