Home bar plans

[spidey44]

Hey gang...new to PMC... Long time lurker/semi poster at chiptalk and the "other" spot...

Anyway, I'd like to build a bar in the basement (once I convince my wife there is enough room for bar, poker table, and kids play area).

Have any of you used precision-images bar plans? Thoughts on the plans? Any other recommendation?

Any help would be appreciated...

And I love the site!

Thanks!
OG

Thanks...how loosely did you follow them? Would you recommend them or do you think you could have done just as well without any? Great looking bar BTW.

I used them to build the infrastructure. I didn't know the best way to build the frame and it definitely helped. The only thing different is that I changed the shape of the bar and modified the bi-level top of the bar. I would recommend them. I had no idea on how to start the bar before I got their plans, but I'm not mechanically inclined at all either.

Sounds good...and I'm in the same boat as far as not knowing where to start.

Thanks again!

I built a bar that i consider to be pretty good considering im only 18... I used 2x4's and plywood. I can do all the building with wood but i have the top of the bar as just plywood painted black but I want a surface that can easily be cleaned and is smooth. I was thinking about plexiglass or acrylic but I feel like there is probably some way easier solution out there. Any ideas? Ill post pictures of my bar soon! too bad i cant drink yet and it can only be for sodas and snacks :(

If you need some tips on how to make the frame I can assist you with as detailed of an explanation as possible. I am the lead builder / stage crew head / stage manager for my schools theater department and I design and build all the sets. I learned everything I know from a government construction worker / architect. Let me know! :)
