What Da Ya Think?

Setting myself up I know.......But I think it's not so bad for doing this in my garage with a hammer, skill saw, router, and screwgun...

It's going into my dentists basement mancave.

Re: What Da Ya Think?

I think it looks great. I hope you have figured how to get it down there. Might be a little tight. Oh man wouldn't that be embarrassing!

Looks Great! I would like to know more about the top rail and what type of material and how you made it.

The top came from a local bar that closed. It was longer then the piece I used. You can see the piece I cut off sitting on top of the bar. I only built the bottom part. The foot rest I made out of red oak.

It only looks big and bulky...it's really not that heavy. The top easly comes off, two men can handle it.

Re: What Da Ya Think?

Well done - we had a similar project about 2 years ago. We had to pay for a new upholstered top though. Great find on yours!
