Re: Home made refrigerator
For starters you cannot touch refrigerants it is against the law.
There is a lot to be designed, an air conditioner compressor is too big to be used in a refrigerator. There would be too much duty produced.
Why not just buy a cheapish fridge, they are cheap enough these days.
If you mess with refrigerants it could be dangerous.

Being a little judgmental aren't we ?:(
Re: Home made refrigerator
I have a small workshop that I thought would be nice if i could cool it , so i found an old dehumidifier that lost its charge , fixed the leak and used an old refrigerator compressor to pump it down and then recharged it with propane and it worked perfrctly so i rigged it up with all the right fans and plumbing and it cools the work shop just fine , so it can be done without even touching refrigerants or breaking any laws and the propane is considered a refrigerant but not subject to the same laws as the others and its perfectly safe.

I dont think its very safe, the pressures alone are dangerous and I dont think its right that anyone should be venturing into areas that they know nothing about without training etc.
You could end up hurting yourself or others.
Not saying that you shouldnt experiment but at least do it with someone that is clued up about these things.
Re: Home made refrigerator
If you have access to all the parts, tools and equipment then anything is possible.
A domestic fridge is a small enough project that it should be possible without hurting anyone.
What are you going to use for the doner components (where will the parts come from). If you have access to an old fridge to use all the components then you have already a fridge that you can use??
If you are building one from scratch then you need an insulated box with a door or lid on it to keep in the cold and then you need the components to make the working system.
Tell us what you have and perhaps we can take it from there.
