Many thanks Chris. "DC marine refrigerator" provides interesting hits. I'm partial to the ready-made ones, as it'll be much more fun building LED lighting than reimplementing refrigeration. (Not much call for glossy woodwork in a fridge, either. I have some centuries old Redgum or Redbox¹, from small logs that were in a fire at least a century ago. They are charred on the outside, but the heat darkened the inner wood to a deep burgundy. Even in the round, it hasn't cracked. Some of it's sawn up, but some small (8") rounds not yet. They'll make good lamp parts. Some bits of Manuka burl are sketched in for wingtips on one design. (With 1/3 of a microwave oven platter as diffuser, if I can cut 'em into 120° sectors.) Just need time, and either clear out the workshop here, or build the one there.)
