One of the reasons I bought my house was there was already a bar built in the basement. Okay, it was paneling, and an orange Formica top, but hey, it had good bones, and I knew I could do something with it when it came time to do the game room.arcade/lounge
I had an idea for lighting, based on some ideas I've seen in Tkaz's lighting and lamp portfolio. Tom was awesome, took time to make suggestions, gave me leads on supplies, and offered to answer questions I may have. Well it took a few years, always something getting in the way, like no time, or money, but tonight I am proud to say another project can be marked as done.
So it's kinda soda pop related, and it's not Rick's Restorations quality, but I am happy . Yes, I take lousy pictures, so you are welcome to drop in and see it in person
Again, a big thank you for Tkaz who patiently answered all my inane questions. It wouldn't have gotten finished without his input.

Awesome! Being a VW guy myself.... when I first saw the pic of the bar I thought of a VW bus and how cool it would look if you put a big VW chrome logo on the front. again, nice work! Now enjoy it  |

I like how you did the epoxy over the records. That makes a great bar top. Nice touch!

Thanks all, I am happy how it's all turning out
Eric, yes, those are 45's under resin for the bar top. Originally I was going to use photographs, but 45's tied in with my love for music, jukeboxes and the general 50's style I was going for
