OSU Kegerator

A little while back a friend of mine wanted to do something special for his younger brother who started at Oklahoma State University in August. So what better to do for a new college student than to encourage massive drinking?!?!?! He decided to build him a kegerator. He luckily came across a fridge for free and just needed the kegerator setup. He ordered the kit from a website but really wanted to make it special. So he came to me. I found a high resolution image of Cowboy Pete and very slowly converted it into something we could cut out on the plasma cutter at work. I cut it out of 20 guage mild steel and he took it back home to finish it up. I thought he was going to paint the fridge orange and the metal black, but he did something a bit better.

Instead of painting the metal he simply cleaned it up and brushed it. He then riveted the cutout onto the fridge. It turned out great.

I will have one more final fabrication post coming in the next few weeks. It will be of the final project I am working on at the shop. Be ready for a lengthy read with lots of step-by-step pictures.
