Resurrecting this long dead thread! I’ve recently gotten my hands on a beer engine and want to build something similar to this (it won’t come out as beautiful but it’s my inspiration!) any ideas for relatively affordable places to get the wood for such a project?

Home Depot, seriously.
Good plywood is never cheap tho unfortunately


Also, wth is a beer engine?
how did the name engine come to be applied to what looks like a specialized beer tap?

Home Depot was my go-to at this point. Find some halfway decent looking plywood and stain it.

A beer engine is essentially a hand operated pump that draws beer from a cask. Traditional way of serving English beers!
