Progress is slow but in the right direction.

Got the keezer top cut and in place, butcher block to match the countertops. I like how it looks, just need to give it a rub down to darken it a bit more.

Also built a Love’s temperature controller box with an always on outlet and the temp controlled outlet to plug the keezer into and cooling fan into.

Edited to add in pic of lower bar counter top. I am concerned here about the overlap of the bar top from the front of the bar and the side, will pretty much leave me with no counter space on that nice looking top. Considering adjusting the bar top size or sliding it out and hanging it over the front a little bit more? Thoughts?

Next up, back bar countertop and sink then on to the skin for this beast and the bar top.

Thanks for the comment Sam, am leaning more towards building that foot rest now. See how I feel in a couple more weekends. Still got lots to buy though so building it myself might be the only option.

Learned pocket hole joinery, edge banding, and basic cabinet making, fun stuff this is.

Electric was actually run last night after I got the pic, but that just makes it look messy until I get the outer skin on this puppy.

Next big design decision to tackle:

foot rest foot rail?

I had planned on doing the brass rail and now that I got this far I realize I have my 2×4 supports on the inside of my box frame that rests on the ground so I either simply build out the bar wall to align with that horizontal box frame, or I go with the foot rest and build out for that? Anyone have any thoughts on that?
