Over the summer me and the wife built a keezer from framing wood, reclaimed wood from a demolished homes roof and a sheet of copper. The copper was hammered with a ball peen hammer to give it that old look. Eventually the copper will patina and it'll be perfect.
Finished product
Making the base from 2x4's
Starting to come together
Bottom portion is done
The copper sheet was pounded for about 4 hours with a 16oz ball peen hammer and then cut with tin snips to get it to fit right. Contact cement was then used to get it to adhere to the wood.
