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

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.
