I'm relatively new here in terms of posting. I've done plenty of research and took the plunge on a keezer build. Throughout the process the plans changed many of times. I spent around 20 hours with my grandfather on this build. I have minimal woodworking experience basically the furthest I've gone is installing tongue and groove flooring and baseboard. I sourced some bar wood from a friend whom tore down an old corn crib. I'll throw some progress pictures up and add details as I have time. It started with a 7 cf magic chef chest freezer I purchased on Craigslist locally in the Chicago burbs.
Other supplies include:
1/2" plywood base
3/4" plywood top
2"X6" collar
4x casters from harbor freight
10"x7/8" barn wood siding
2"x8" barn wood beams
Inkbird 1000
Chill passion shanks and stainless handles
Perlick SS flow control faucets
Originally we planned on an Irish coffin build but didn't want to struggle with cooling the shanks and foam in the first few pours so we went with the collar.
