Just wondering if anyone out there has one of these fridges:

The seller is based in WA but they had a reseller in SA with one in stock, but to be honest I was a little underwhelmed on the finish...
Thanks Vortex...... cameras do not like focussing on wood. Normally you focus on an edge and move to take the shot but it wasn't working due to the shape. That was the best of a dozen shots.
Here's the portakeg I made recently.
It's basically a peice of 300mm stormwater pipe with a plastic base glued in.
The wood on the outside is a cosmetic skin made from resawn oregan verandah posts - 27 in all, each cut to 6.7 degrees.
I finished it in danish oil then 4 coats of gloss...
If it's just that the staves have shrunk but the hoops are still in place, fill your bath tub or wash trough with water and let the barrel soak in there for a few days. I've seen a few barrels in fairly rough condition seal up very nicely after this treatment.
Spog if you want a waterproof option you could try a Deutsch DT series or a Delphi Weatherpack connector. No special tooling required apart from some pointy nose pliers and a soldering iron.
These are pretty standard automotive connectors available from places like Ashdown Ingrams. No affiliation.
I recently bought a bunch of camlocs from Gryphon and it worked out a lot cheaper than my LHBS. Not the same quality but they all mate up with existing fittings.
No affiliation yada yada.
Hey thanks to everyone for the positive comments about my rig.
Cocko, the infeed power is single phase 20 amp.
If you want to see some more details on the control panel I've got a build log HERE
FYI the inside of the panel is more over the top than the outside.
