I found this old ice box barelly in ruins, bad painted, and with missing wood parts.
1- first step was taking off the old white paint totally.
2- I constructed the missing parts from new wood pieces and from an old wood door that had a really good wood.
3- Use wood glue and presses to join the old and new parts together.
4- Replaced the old wood dust between the external wood walls and the internal metal walls. I used polyurethane caned foam. Becarefool with this foam. It will never stop expanding. Make small holes to avoid walls deforming. It will happen.
5- the last part you must glue is the top fixed cap. In this case I've used wood pins to strength the union. Glue the pins and parts.
6- Use natural wax coloured with the original wood colour tone.
7- I will install a cold cell module to keep temperature as desired. I'll will use it as a chocolate fridge so temperature will be set at 20°C.
