I picked up a 7.2 sunbeam freezer from Menards yesterday. They were on sale and it is wide enough to put a 1/4 barrel in it if I want to some day. I took some measurements and want to start building my collar today. I have a few questions before I begin.
1. What are people typically building their collars out of? I was thinking of using 2x8's or 2x10's. I could use a nicer wood and stain it but I am not to worried about the looks as it is in the basement hobby room.
2. Do people typically attach the collar to the lid or to the base of the freezer? What do they normally attach it with? Would silicone hold it in place? If I ever want to change it back to a freezer I would like that option. I have seen pictures of both on here.
3. Anything else I should be concerned with before I begin?
