I am AT LAST just about to start my straight Kegger Bar build.
I’ve bought the compact freezer and the wood for the frame but just looking through the plans I noticed that there isn’t any final trim on the front of Front Base Frame (#1) and the two side Base Frames (#4’s).
Would you just have the frame wood showing or put a similar piece to #50 & #51 around the front and sides?
The plans are great and know it’ll make a great job of the bar but it just doesn’t seem finished in those areas unless I’m missing something.
Paint it black and save some $$… or spend the extra bucks on trim. I trimmed mine because I have a lighter colored floor and painting it black would stand out too much.

Already done – as attached
Pic 1 – The puppy enjoys sitting in the space to the right
Pic 2 – Painted, Final trim and electrics in
Pic 3 – Ready for the bar top and worktop (the piece on top is just a off cut of chipboard for sizing)The problem is now I (or wife cant
cant decide on how to have the bar top. I’m going to do the cove cut arm rail and leaning toward just an ply top, stained and envirotex but really cant decide.I haven’t bought the double tap yet and that is 3 weeks away so no major rush so can get on with the trim and the kep box door.
I just want it done now !!! Goal is Oct 31st for a Halloween party we are looking at having !
Nice job! I see you have a four legged helper too!
Oh yes, the dog has been a great help
Majority of trim is done (just the front corners and middle front). Door is done (haven’t found a latch yet or put metal on the inside). 2 fans in the cooler ready and working and one in ready to force cold air up the tap itself when installed – no metallic sheet (http://www.homedepot.ca/product/reflectix-duct-wrap-12×25/902353) inside the cooler yet but seems to be holding temperature quite well – I don’t have a thermometer !
Rather than sheet metal on the inside of the door could I use the same stuff I’m going to put on the inner walls (link above) to save a few $$’s ?
Only thing holding me up is the taps themselves (https://www.barplan.com/store/draft-beer/) as then I can finalize and drill the bar top and worktop (final layer of bar top in the pictures is temporary just so I can prepare the arm rails)
Thought I’d post these pictures though as I saw these lights in Costco for $28 and couldn’t resist
Great photos Guys!!! That puppy looks exactly like mine!!! I like the black paint looks clean and is the economical way to go.
