paint
A couple cans of spray paint
cauk
and a recauking job and this si starting to look good now
cart
here's the cart this will all sit on top of
wheels
and the casters that make it mobile. I manly need to make this mobile so I could move it once finished, but being about to move it around while working on it was a big help. Pictured also is one of my two helpers thoughout.
on cart
On she goes. The boards that stick out are done that way on purpose so that I can build a cabinet into one side.
hinge holes
these are the screw holes for the hindges. They are exactly 6" apart center to center.
rip collar
In order to reuse a set of the hinge holes which are already threaded I need to raise the hinge excataly 6". Since a 2x6 isn't actually by six I had to rip a 2x8.
jointer collar
I cut it about 1/4 big and ran it over the jointer for a nice clean surface.
measure collar
perfect
assemble collar
install collar
test lid
That looks like it will work just fine.
pannel to compressor
I don't want to cover access into the compressor bay
testing the standards
So we'll need to shave some off here.
external controls
I'll laso need to move these as the front will be covered.
fitted standard That.. pnnel off completly
removed controls
Now we can worry about where to put them later
lip
The rubber peice that provides the base seal sticks out a bit and make it so we can't put the standards flush
lip dado
A sloopy pass with the router free hand will fix that
dado fit
cabinet box
here's the entire box assembled
cabinet box2
Opps #1
With the collar on, the lid doesn't quite fit
lid
It's not clearing this part that sticks down lower than the lip itself. Better measurements would have prevented this, but we can fix it eaisly enough.
Opps #2
Raising the list 6" means the plug to the light no longer reaches.
left standard
The left side doesn't have a cabinet and is flush
supports
I put three 1x2s to support the face we'll stick on this and keep from having to attach it to the freezer itself.
fixed collar
Here's the fix for the lid not fitting.
flange
This is the underside of the drip tray with flange and some 1/2 CPVC attached.
drain tube
We'll join that up with this peice that will be inside the plywood covering and runs into the cabinet.
cauk
Don't tell me how to build stuff
more cauk
I know about "Caulk it and Paint it"
matt
Here are some cheap foam matting I bought at a Big Box
matt cut
Cut it down to size
matt installed
and I have a nice soft floor now.
left face
Plywood on the left side
front
cabinet face
Plywood on the rigth had a cutout for a door that I'll build later.
Opps #3
The back right (from the front) has a good 3/8" gap. I was furrious withmyself for not having gotton somethign sqaure in my build until I relized that the freezer itself was what didn't measure up. This one corner is 'smushed'. Most likely had somethign dropped on it.
shunts
I'll just use a few shunts to raise it level
Box
Lid and front attached. Time to think of trim.
