Looks nice

Thanks. I was in the same boat as GTO guy. Moving a 15 cu ft chest freezer back and forth over the carpet was a pain.
What do you use for seals on that set up? Seems like it would be difficult to keep it air tight, especially on the back edge of the lid sections and where the two halves meet. I do like this configuration though. Nice work!
Bigger casters can make that pretty easy. I went with four inchers and my 10cf with all six kegs loaded up rolls over the carpet without a struggle...
Careful!
Drilling new holes into the freezer may be more problematic than you think -
Chest freezers have coils wrapped around the inside (cooling) and outside (heat release). You don't want to puncture those.
You could turn it around, and "dress" it to look better?
Pink foam insulation goes right up against the wood to seal it off that way. I am adding a 2x2 in between the two doors. The top was cut from the same boards so they fit together very tightly. It is not air tight but I have not had any issues with condensation so far. Tub of damp rid is in the bottom of the thing.
Yeah I have 3" on there right now. More of a thing where I wanted to be able to leave it in place and not have to move it. I am also building a shelf for glasses and temperature controller on the back half that doesn't open.
Good to know. Thanks for the reply. I'm working on a chamber and how to seal the doors well had me stumped. I think I will try something similar.
