gonna stain it a medium stain and then seal it. maybe a clear marine varish?

I used marine grade Epoxy on mine I built a kayak a few years ago so got to know the product well. I feel now I made the right choice your keggerator will be a real we space with all sorts of cleaners and acids and beer getting splashed about.
 
Epoxy would be fine. I stand by my comment on marine varnish.
 
so I Got The plaato keg setup. Took WAY Longer Than I thought it should. one thing to consider is That if you have a Http Proxie. make an exception for this!
onceI Got it working it is pretty Cool. .001 Lb resolution. it will tell you how much your last Pour was, neat.
 
got my secondary regs installed. wasnt going to get them, but then decided it would be easier to carb up a keg with other kegs at serving pressure if each keg had its own reg..

So I went with tung oil. Requires 3 coats, but it supposed to be water proof and dry competently.

This is the door. I haven't made anything else until I get a mitre saw.

gluing them up will be time consuming. I am sure there is a better way, but I am gonna glue up pieces 2 at a time.

Frame, for the top

got it on sale for $180 off. couldn't turn it down. I really wanted the bosch, but for $200 more, just couldnt. if I was a contractor, maybe. but for a hobbiest, nope.

literally took me 30 minutes to cut all those pieces for the bowfront on my tap tower.
 
Got one a couple years ago when I was tasked with building a fireplace mantel. Don't use it often, but when I do it is THE tool to have.
