What is there you are using for the arm rail? Some folks might like to know where they can get it. Also did you modify it?

i foud a place nearby the arm rail is red oak http://www.delawarecountysupply.us/home.html they charged 10 bucks a foot, and the had a huge selection to chose from. It would have cost more if i ordered it online, and i wouldnt be able to see it until it arrived at my house. i didnt have to modify at all, it was pretty easy to install!
 
What was it specifically called? Bar Arm rail? I myself will make my own, but that seems to be the most obscure part to find to make your bar.
 
This build looks awesome - I cannot wait until I have a house that can have a bar in it. This is definitely some great inspiration and some great work here.

Can't wait to see the finished product!
 
Bar is built! Ready to be stained!

I was hesitant to post this, don't laugh. Im not really a wood worker but when I test fitted the arm rail there was a 1/8 inch gap so I needed to put something in between the two 3/4 inch pieces of plywood. I browsed around the depot and lowes and couldn't find anything thin enough. Then I had a crazy idea to use toothpicks, went to the grocery store and bought 1000 for 1.80. Spread them out put down glue and assembled the top of the bar, perfect fit!

Sometimes it's the simplest of solutions that work best, just takes some time to figure it out. Looking good!
I have stood in the hardware store many hours like an idiot trying to figure out how to make something do something it was not design to do, but works for my application. Then the poor hardware store guy asks if I need help.... I have learned at that point to just say " I am good, thanks" to avoid that odd look and the confusion that follows.
 
Got the first coat of poly laid on there! Now just got to wait for it to dry, sand it smooth and put down the second coat!

Looking great !!!! Don't be afraid to put an extra coat or two of the shiny stuff on that bar top (or anywhere else for that matter)
