Great build, I'm getting my freezer this week and I'm going to "borrow" most of your ideas. Has anyone built or configured a hybrid collar design? I love how your freezer lid is recessed by I also like the idea below where the collar slides down over the freezer to secure it.

I'm thinking 2x6 inner collar with 1x8 trim pieces. I would then mount the outer trim so there is a 1/2" extension on top and 1 1/2" extension at the bottom to secure the collar to the freezer.
Thanks! Seems like another detail I forgot to mention in the original post, but my collar is recessed both on the top and bottom. About 1-1/4" for the top and 3/4" for the bottom. It's more for aesthetic purposes to hide the seal where the collar meets the freezer. The weight of the collar and enough adhesive ensures it's secure. I would have to intentionally tackle the collar for it to budge.
