Basement man cave bar

[allen levine]

Top is finished with a bar rail
Bar rail is not glued on yet
Want to sand top down to 120 or 180'grit
I'm getting closer
Units this big and heavy are back breakers
Without shop assistance I won't tackle something this heavy any more
My grandson approves
Top is a bit over 73 inches long by 24 inches
A tad more than 1 inch thick

(Sorry about the baby picture he just makes me
Smile all the time now)

I was scrolling through this thread and thought "Hey, that's not a bar top!" Pretty sure I can see your smile all the way over here.

That's just the top of the line.

The bar top is really nice, but the boy definitely outshines it.... another congratulations to you and your daughter.....

(I'm still jealous!)

[Rennie Heuer]

Yes, that qualifies as a 'pop'. Looking great!

 

[allen levine]

the top will be finished off with mohawk/behlen tabletop rock hard finish.

 

[allen levine]

Thin coat

I think Kaden is dreaming of the hot wheels garage grandpa gonna make him

 

[David Johnson]

Installed the man cave bar today
I wasn't much help just supervised
After winter I will begin on back bar for wall behind bar
That's my son in law
I put bottles on top for scale in pics

all that stuff hanging on walls and shelf is all coming down

Looks fantastic! It will be 'the' place for the sharing of many a tall tale over some adult beverages for years to come.
