custom design project

Hi, I am a design student, who is looking for help to make a cold plate. I want to make a steel plate 100cm/50cm with copper pipe running the underside, then connect this up to a domestic freezer system (from an old freezer). This should make a working cold plate, should it not? I want it to be cold enough to form condensation from the air.
Any info on who could help me or where i can already get such a thing, would be appreciated. I have a very limited student budget, so any favors i can grab , would be seen as a great help.

thanks
jamie
