Here is mine.
At some point I plan to put on a faux-granite top (my wife's idea) and route out the area where the drip tray is so it will sit flush. I also plan to sheath it in oak. One question for you guys that have covered yours in wood - did you glue the wood right to the outer walls of the freezer or did you use strip wood spacers? I've been told conflicting warnings about overheating the unit. Some say it needs air circulating b/w the walls and the wood, so leave some space. Others have told me just the opposite - that having air circulating b/w the walls and the wood would lead to overheating and I should glue the wood directly to the outer walls. Which is correct?

I'll have to seek out some of this Gubna beer you people are talking about. I don't know if it has arrived in Chicago yet or not. Don't recall seeing any OB beers yet. But I have so much homebrew, I don't spend much time at the booze shop these days!
