One Jig to Cut Kegs and False Bottoms

[MasonCreek]

Just wanted to send a "Thanks" out to DutchOven. I used your overall design, tweaked it a little to suit my needs & comfort & it worked very well. I will post some pics in the near future and I too can provide a drawing & parts list. (bought it all from Lowe's as it was close to my home, but a local hardware store would have been cheaper)

More to come.

How far is Hatboro from the Maryland line? Heck, I may hire you to make some stuff for me.

I honestly don't need anything at the moment. Just bought a CFC and will be ordering a fully assembled keggle in a few days.

I'll have to invent some excuse to get something made once I've paid those off!

Mason, Toolbox: Glad the design worked out for you guys.

Toolbox: your jig is AWESOME ... makes mine look a tad janky! And love the portable kegerator, do you have a coil in there, or just ice around the kegs?

that one just uses the ice around the kegs, I also have a 2 tap jockey box with coils if I need to do multiple beers

This is great design, with radius regulation its simply " One Jig to Cut"em All".
Thanks for sharing it, it helped a lot!

I modified it a little, this is ghetto version without regulation:

I really appreciate your attention to detail in making the cutting jig as I am a finish carpenter by trade, but I have to admit I just cut my keg free-hand..

I think that's because I'm too impatient to take the time to make a jig for DIY stuff. On the job it's a different story!

Good job! Nice write up!
