yea mostly I used this BYO article

and a 1/2" paddle blade bit for drilling into the cooler
PVC pipe cutter tool (or a hack saw or hand saw)

I used a paintball gun CO2 tank so I need an adaptor for the regulator that I got from midwest supplies

Chrome Faucet with Brass Lever 5369 $15.99
1 3-inch (7.6 cm) diameter PVC pipe (commonly sold in 2-foot/61 cm lengths)
2x 3-inch (7.6 cm) PVC end cap (slip fitting)

Re: Check out this thing I built
I wonder if an oxygen regulator could be adapted - I've got a lot of them.
