Keezer, once again
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 2:01 pm
I've been spending my last few evenings building a keezer, bit challenging when your only powertool is a drill 
.
Since I was planning to have it in my living room, the wife insisted that it would look somewhat nice.
I got a smaller apartment size freezer, built the collar out of 2x6 that I got cut at home depot. To make it look a bit better, I got some nice pieces of oak to have in the front of the collar.
Here is the collar in the making. I didn't use any nails or screws, all done with "No more Nails".
To cover the front and sides of the freezer, I picked up some plywood (which I also got cut at the home depot), which I painted with "rock accent" paint (which was the most expensive thing in this build
) to make it look a bit nicer.
For a lid, I went to the Re-store and picked up a cabinet door for 5$, and I plan to insulate it on the inside and add some weatherstripping for better seal.
Haven't completely finalized the assembly, as the paint is still drying on the plywood, but these pictures give you a good idea how it is going to look.
I have a decent sized piece of the oak that I plan to use as drip tray.
Now I just have to wait for my temperature control to arrive from Hong Kong, as I have two kegs ready to go in there

Very happy with it
