Looks great I didn't realize how involved you were getting..
Update......had a bar/keezer disaster over the weekend. After having more than a few pints with a buddy over the weekend, evidently somebody didn't close my #4 tap (Red Rye.P.A.) far enought to create a good seal. I went down to my basement the next morning and could smell beer as soon as I opened the basement door. As I ran down the stairs, I knew that the inevitable had finally happened.....1/2 a keg's worth of beer was covering the top of my keezer and a pool of beer covering the floor under/around the keezer and fridge. Thankfully, I sealed the travertine tile on the keezer lid and the slate floors with several coats of stone sealer. After about 2 hours of mopping, wiping and scrubbing, we got it cleaned up. I was afraid of having the residual smell of stale beer in my bar, but we evidently did a thorough job of cleaning, because there's no odor. I need a new drip tray anyway, so I may install one with a drain to avoid future mishaps. Moral of the story.....check the taps before going to bed!
I ripped a bunch of logs on my table saw the other day for the chalboard frame. I decided to do extra for trim pieces for my rustic fermentation chambers as well. I chose the 4 that I liked best for the frame and then used my trusty draw knife to knife the bar off. Then I sanded the hell out of the logs and cut to size. Finally, I put it together and put 4 coats of polyurethane on it. Once it is dry, I'll attach the chalkboard and install the hanging brackets on the back. Slowly but surely, I'm getting there.
I inherited a draw knife from my grandpa. I may have to try this?
