I believe they're SS carriage bolts, not the most eye appealing part of the build. Let me know if you come up with a better way!

I've had my keezer going for over 2 1/2 years now and thought I'd share an update. I was concerned that the freezer might overheat from a lack of space between the cabinet and freezer walls, so far (knock on wood) zero problems. Another worry was how well the finish would hold up to the...

The front panel is 1/2" from the freezer front which allows room for the temperature controller. The freezers temperature controller is no longer accessible from the front. If for some reason I need to access it I can do so through the side vent. I removed the factory louvers and installed black...

1st coat of stain.

Three 12x12 sheets of accent tile. Two 1x12's edge glued for top.

Thanks! I used Poplar trim and Birch plywood. Stained with 4 coats of Varathane Gel Stain 'Red Mahogany', then 3 coats of Varathane satin polyurethane, oil based, fast drying interior. I also used Varathane wood conditioner prior to staining.

Here's a couple pics, one showing the interior (insulated) and the other showing the clearance needed from the wall when open, maybe a couple inches which is the reason I went this route instead of a coffin. I like the coffin designs I've seen but I'm limited on space.

My 1st attempt at building a keezer. Many thanks to the members of homebrewtalk. I don't think I would have attempted the build without all the good info provided here. The cons of my design: The collar is a combination of 2x12's and 2x2's making the height an issue when loading corny's...
