They're kinda fun to build. I was thinking of starting a business of making custom ones. Kegerators go for like $500 for a single tap or some shit. I'd bet I could sell a custom 6 tap keezer for $2000, with probably a $1k profit and maybe 3-4 hours worth of work (possibly less if I get good).

Which reminds me, I need to make some new tap handles. Our painted ones look like shit. We did have a pretty cool one from @Mr. Asa but there must have been some weakness in the wood as it snapped. :(

I bet freight shipping stuff would be annoying as fuck. Would you just do it locally?

Hmmm, now that I think about it, I can probably take the 'tap nut' or whatever it's called out of the bottom and screw the pieces back together. It was weird, a friend was drawing a beer and the thing came apart in his hand.

I think there were a couple of pieces of different wood in the blank he turned it from. Might be that the epoxy he used to put them together didn't penetrate completely.

Like I said, lemme see pics and I might be able to figure out a way to fix it properly.
Or, hell, post 'em up here. Let everyone criticize it

Or some wood glue.

Bottom half of the case for the "capacitive discharge tester" is printed and going together.

Forgot to design in some relief for some through hole parts on the PCB, had to burn in some clearance with a soldering iron.
