I am looking to add a tower to my kegerator since I am moving to a place where I can do so, the party taps are getting old. I am thinking along the lines of an oak box 6"x6"x6" supported by a 4"x4"x6" tall tower. I already have the 6"x6"x6" box which I made for another project and never finished so I would just need to make the tower section with a base plate and install the faucets. I also have some marine epoxy which I was thinking might be good to coat the insides with to prevent rot.

Nice! How many taps? When will we see some pictures? I'm currently waiting on UPS to deliver my tower parts.
Two taps, just ordered the taps on amazon because I had a $25 gift card so only $36 for then 
At 6x6 it will probably be a little tight for the taps but I think it should work alright. Here is a photo of the box I will be using on the top, the open end will be down with some cleats inside to go over a 5x5 plate on the top of the 4x4 riser.

I'm just gonna use some 3" PVC for my tower for now so I can just get the kegerator going. Nice joints on the start of your tower
The box for the top was from a previous project that never really worked out. That being said I didn't feel ambitious enough to do the same finger joint on the riser section, it is of notably simpler design.
I coated the insides with marine epoxy and it is finally "dry" this evening, you can still put a dent into it with your fingernail, it was slow drying hardener.
The faucets and shanks are due in tomorrow so I will probably try and get the insides lined with some foam insulation and the base plate on as well as the holes for the shanks.

Looking good!
