Tonight I was able to work on the Keezer for a couple hours. I added mounting blocks to join the coffin to the top. To accommodate the new blocks, I also had to make new cutouts in the foam board. I also tested and decided that my tap spacing will be 4 1/2". To figure out the tap spacing, I...

The thought has crossed my mind to add hinges, possibly mounthing them to the surround. I've also opened up the top, and looked at how the freezer lid is attached to the existing hinges. I'm considering tying into those mount points to add an internal skeleton to help the freezer lid support the...

I would recommend that people draw their layout directly on the plywood top. This allowed me to visualize the drain pan (yet to be ordered), coffin layout, insulation thickness, and the ports. I had origionally placed everything too far to the rear when I laid things out. After drawing...

Today was a day to make sawdust. After several hours of measuring which included adding and subtracting fractions, I finally made my first cuts to build the coffin. I was delayed when my best laid plans where off because I didn't leave enough room for the pipes, as they were too far aft. After...

After building the base, I figured the Top would be a good next step as it will allow me to get the proper height figured out for the surround. Considerations for building the Top - Get it 100% Square because the whole top will be based on it - Cutout to accommodate the existing lid handle -...

I'm keeping the add 2 more 2x6's in my back pocket. I'm trying to balance not over building it with having good structure. I think when I add the surround, and the skirt that will add what I need. The other option is to pull full width framing around the base of the freezer to hold it in it's...

Let me start by saying that I skipped right past the 7,10,and 13 cu ft sizes. I figure if I'm going to put the effort into this that I think I will, I don't want to out grow it or wish I had gone bigger down the road. For this build, I'm uisng a new 15 cu ft Frigidaire that I bought at discount...

Hello all, It's time for me to go from Lurking & Learning to Building & Sharing. What follows is Who, What, Why, and How of my Keezer Build. I'm very excited about this project for many reasons, and hopefully you will follow and guide me along the way. I've not given a proper introduction, so...

If I'm correct, the wood you used is pressure treated lumber. If I'm remembering correctly, they use arsenic in it to weather proof it. I'm sure that it had a ton of liquid in it to start which is probably why you had so much moisture in the keezer.
