FINISHED! – heres some pics – Finished bar – open for questions

[elmalaro]

I finally finished my bar and moved it to the new house. For all of you wanting to be able to move your bar on an irregular basis, I have a suggestion. Cut the thickes 2″ PVC tubing you can buy at home depot into 4′ sections. Put 3 or 4 under your bar and suprise – 1 person can easily push the bar around the room no matter how heavy. Hopefully you dont have to take out a wall of the house to put it in though, like I did. Here are the pics I posted of my bar with some descriptions about construction under it. I think the pics default to large view, so select medium in order to see the whole thing. I will be on and off the board for a while to answer any questions you all may have about the construction, etc. And, for those of you who have people who dont like beer (even though the idea boggles my mind), a lot of microbreweries make keg rootbeer – my wife loves it and the rootbeer floats.

Looks great dude!!!! Really nice job! How long did it take to build?

I built every piece of the bar in my tarp covered back yard. The bar took 3 weeks to build, but I’m a bit obsessive, so over the 3 weeks, I estimate I put in just under 100 hours (about 4 hours 5 days a week and 10 hours during weekends). A good portion of the time was spent thinking through the modifications I was making to ensure I wouldnt hose myslef on some measurement later in the building progress, like result in a keg box that was too small because I forgot that I needed to unclude the insulation and metal thickness. If you make only minor modifications to the provided plans, I would expect a lot less time necessary.
