Fixing a square box with warped wood (gallery inside)
I am building a box that sits on top of a freezer. The purpose is to increase the height of the freezer so kegs for home brew can sit inside it. Something like this
The problem is, I have this great old wood from my grandpa, but it's warped! The worst culprit is the front piece. When I clamp it together, it pushes everything out of whack and no longer sits flush on the freezer (which is important to keep a good seal).

What is the best way to fix this? I can think of two different ways, but not sure if I'm missing something.
- Sand the side piece a bit like this: /
This is so it fits snugly into the warped front piece. This will make it a bit short at the back, but that side is against the wall so it doesn't matter too much.
I would also need to use a bit of gap filler here and there, which, again, I don't mind too much. - Join it all together, even though it is out of whack, and then take a belt sander to it to level it all out.
Does anyone have any idea the best way to fix this?The only decent bit of woodworking I've done! https://www.woodworkforums.com/f40/hall-table-38222/

will the timber frame be insulated on the inside?
and have a freezer type seal top and bottom?
I suspect that the frame will move again once it's sitting on the freezer.
given that the frame will be against a wall, I'd be inclined to hide the gap at the rear and not bother with a gap filler. the layer insulation will give you the seal.regards from Alberta, Canada
