thanks for the file...I have modified it very much and made several design changes to suit my build. I picked up 50 BF of mahogany yesterday and started my build today. I am building a keezer, a wall unit and a dining table all for the same room and all out of mahogany.
I'm starting with the keezer, it will be the easiest of the three and more fun!
Look at this 20 " wide slab of mahogany I found at the lumber yard...I'd say this will be a part of the table top.

Hi guys. New to this forum but have been lurking for a while. Have to thank all of the people who have posted absolutely stunning keezer projects, as not only has it inspired me to do my own, you have also convinced the treasury minister aka wife, that is in fact a good idea
Jester, absolutely love your keezer design and am wanting to do something similar. Have a few ideas of my own but would like to take a look at your sketch up designs if that is possible? Mostly drawn up my plans on paper but would be interested in how they look modelled.
Thanks!

Hi
We've bought and sold over a dozen houses, selling is never fun. Building can be a bit exciting as well.
Good Luck

This is my first time post, however I have been a long time reader. I was wondering if anyone had the sketchup file (google's sketch program... I think it's sketchup) for this keezer. It's absolutely incredible and would like to use this as a template. PM me if you do and I will send you my email. Excellent job jester!

Ok, so slowly running this thing to ground!
Here is the top (without the coffin) attached to the freezer, held up with a prop.
Here is what it will look like assembled - the boards on top of the coffin have not been attached. Once the glue has fully cured, they will be attached.
How does this get attached to the freezer? Did you just glue it the freezer door? If so, what type of glue did you use? Standard construction adhesive? Sorry for my noobness. I'm completely new to this and this seems like an amazing project that I would like to integrate into my bar. There is a lot to read here. Do you have a link for the plans? Does it matter what freezer you use? I have a GE 7.0 cubic freezer(FCM7SUWW) and would like to try this with your project with a 3 tap system. 1 - 1/2 keg and 2 cornies(at least that's what I think they are called).
OP

No, it's not glued on. Somewhere in the thread I detail how it goes on, but it's basically bolted on. I think if you search 'blind nuts' or 't nuts' you should find pictures of how I attached it.
I don't have a link to plans, but if you PM your email address I'll send you the files I have.

Would you say it was over or under $1000?

Over, for sure. Not by a lot, but certainly over.

Would you move it out an 1" or 1/2"?

I have recently found this thread; and have been able to follow all aspects of the build with one exception. I didn't see a picture on how the hoses were fed from the coffin back into the freezer. I assume a hole was cut through the lid. Does anyone have hints, notes, anything on making this cut?
DigitalDray said:
Yep all I did was use a hole saw that attaches to a drill. It did just fine going through the 1 in plywood top and then the sheet metal of the freezer top and finally through the foam and plastic liner. It was the last thing I did before mounting the coffin to the lid. If your hole saw isn't deep enough take a drill bit and drill all the way through at the center where you want your hole then take your hole saw and do half the hole as deep as you can then do the same from the other side using that small drill hole you did earlier as a guide for the bit in the center of the hole saw. Good luck.

I know there is a description and photos of the holes in the thread somewhere. Sorry I can't direct you right to it. I used a Dremel with a cutoff wheel to cut a square opening, then just protected the edges with duct tape.

I looked through the thread but I could not see what the cubic footage of the freezer was. What size was it?

Seems to me it was around 13cf

I have a 25 CF freezer as a standard keezer, but want to update to this style coffin keezer. Does anyone have plans for this size?
I have already printed most of Jester369's items, but have not found the Google Sketchup plans for it.
Thanks, but my wallet hates it...

I've noticed that Jester has not been around in quite a while, so I'll post here and ask if anyone has the Google Sketchup plans he was sending out? I'd really like to attempt to do a build like this and would really appreciate the plans.
