Thank you

I mulled it over for a while and figured it couldn't be much. I did size the interior to match most common freezers just in case.

I do also have the vent over the compressor, That probably helps. The 1/4" skin seems to allow it to breathe

When my homemade tower cooler is off the freezer runs for 8 minutes then takes about 1.5hrs before it turns back on. I do have the collar lined with 2 layers of R8ish insulation and I beefed up the insulation in the tower

I used furniture sliders instead of casters to keep the height down. I have my keezer on carpet.

Have you considered using both? I've made a couple projects with cherry and white maple with a clear finish

Just tapped a 1/4 barrel

Top is layed over a piece of 3/4" plywood with t-nuts. I then laminated over the plywood with black laminate so you cant see the plywood through the plexiglass. T-nuts are in the 4 corners of the lid and 4 through bolts through the tower assembly. Total of 8 bolts.

Stock hinges attached to collar

No air gap, I did leave 1/4" on each side to help get it in. The panels are only 1/4" thick mdf, I have the perf metal over the compressor and the back is wide open and away from the wall.

We do commercial millwork. The 3form (on the top) is left over from a Ruths Chris Steak House we did a few years back

Light it up

My new led light strip came in today

I meant to post pictures as I progressed, but honestly I took 2 weeks to plan and dimension everything so the actual work only took a few (long) days of assembly. I did run short on LEDs and have ordered more. I had always planned to run them behind the apron on the top to shine down on all of...
