i have the collar done, so i wanted to get some pics up as i'm waiting on all of the rest of the materials to be delivered..
i started out with my chest freezer.. we bought it new around 5 years ago to use for food, but we recently upgraded to a huge upright so i got to use this one to convert to a keezer! i sold my old 2 tap kegerator on craigslist for some seed money for all the hardware for this..
i decided to go the 1x10 dual hinged collar route because i liked the flexibility of being able to open either just the lid, or the lid and the collar (or should i call it a quad hinged collar?).. doing this i was also able to make it fit snugly on the inside lip of the freezer, but still have it look flush from the outside.. seems to be a little more work overall, but really will be worth it in the long run..
