Topping off the icebox

The lower portion of the icebox is what I would consider to be roughed in. The fiberglass hardened up nicely, with the exception of some of the corners that got multiple overlays and ended up a little rough. I had to sand down everything to smooth it out. My plan for the corners is to use a filler compound and round out each corner for a consistent and smooth finish.

I'm using 2" of insulation for the top and lids just to make access more convenient. I cut a bunch of pieces out in kind of a puzzle form so I can lay fiberglass over them to secure the top to the already formed lower icebox. I'll be applying white gel coat to the final product and lay the counter top on top of the icebox with about a 1" ledge around the top for the lid to se down on. It looks like a rough plywood behemoth right now and I'm excited to see it through the next step which will look a lot more finished. I'll be putting in custom slides and shelves once I get the refrigeration aspect figured out.

    Dream it. Design it. Build it. A hobbyist at heart, I'm usually asked, "Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just buy that?!?". Sure, but then I wouldn't understand it and appreciate it like only a do-it-your-selfer can!
