show me your bars..

[RedOctober]

I need to see some basic homemade bar construction please.

I think one post is enough....

My bar's in a multi-function basement with a home theater:

I take credit for everything other than the bar... I didn't built it. It was in the house when we moved in in 2000. It's solid panels of granite and isn't going to move any time soon. The only design issue (IMHO) is that the bar overhang isn't deep enough for people to sit at the bar comfortably.

The previous owner did make pretty intelligent use of the basement support posts without having to move them. They're hidden in the columns beside the bar.

That is so pimp, never thought a mans set up would give me a chubby.

If I'm given other guys chubbies I'm thinking I should remove the pics....

Wow kal, that is amazing.

No way am I posting pics of mine now. The bar (pun intended) has now been set.

It appears he owns his own, high-end, home theater business. I suppose this is the kind of setup someone in that field would have.

Hey, Kal, if you ever need like a caretaker or janitor or something like that for your bar just let me know. I'll accept beer as payment and I have no problems sleeping on couches (or in comfy-looking theater seats).

Dam, after seeing that I feel like I have a milk crate and a six pack.

Hey damnit, I like a good milk crate and six pack. I serve it up on a piano bench in front of my couch. Beer tastes the same. :rockin:

Sort of. But my home theater setup came first (it's all DIY so I saved a lot) and then I offered to become the webmaster for the guy that I bought my projector from (I built him a site, he upgraded me to a better projector). I don't actually run the business myself. I'm just the website tech/marketing/forum admin guy but I do know a lot about HT too I suppose.

Thanks for the compliments guys. More home theater pictures and DIY instructions here if you're curious. I tried to focus on bar pics above.

The previous home owner did a great job on the bar I think. It just needed some taps.
