Yup, another keezer thread....
I got a 10% off coupon from homedepotmoving.com and decided to grab the $199 7.2cu freezer that they had. Its not the best freezer for this task but it will do what I need. If it was a tad wider you could fit 4 cornies in it, but I can only mange to get two in with a lot of wasted space. Guess I will use it to store bottles also.
The one nice thing about this freezer is there is a drain in it that is just the right size to get some tubing through it at the bottom. This way I can keep my co2 outside of the freezer.
Freezer: $199
Faucets and shanks: $60
Ranco Controller: $65
Wood/Stain/Silicone: $25
Anyways, I am not a wood worker. I would of killed for a miter saw to do this project but I had to use a jig saw with a metal blade on it. I prefer welding over nailing so working with wood is not my bread and butter. Luckily I did have a $10 air nailer from harbor freight laying around. I used 1x6 poplar pieces.
Ok, enough blah blah blah, here are the pics.
Out of the box:
Hinges removed:
Basic frame, I added more strips to the top rim later
Test fit:
