So last year, my buddy got married and we built this for serving beer over the wedding weekend.

Well this year it's my turn to tie the knot. I wanted to build something more compact and have it hide the kegs/ice bucket. I also want it to look a more classy with some sort of unique look to it. I think my plan will work out pretty well.
To start off the design I needed to get an ice bucket large enough to hold 3 5 Gallon kegs. The ice buckets that you can rent from a liquor store will fit a half barrel keg fine, but are a few inches too small for 3 5 Gallon kegs. I finally came up with the idea to buy a 55 gallon plastic drum and cut it in half. I scored one off Craigslist for $10. I can fit 3 5 Gallon sanke or pin lock kegs in it or 4 ball lock kegs.
Once I had the ice bucket figured out I could design the rest of the tap wall around that. Here is the progress I've made so far.
The frame is made from 2x2's. I used 3/4" pine board for the bar top and the tap wall. I used 1/4" plywood for the skin along with some corner trim to cover up the edges.
