OK, my daughter, to the left below, wanted a bar in two or three days. Here's one picture before we started staining. We will get it finished later on, the functionality was needed for Friday night, Dec. 30.  |

I'll post what pictures I have on my web page in a little while, accessible via my www link below. But give me a good thirty minutes to re-size them and make a web page for them. The whole design was basically my daughter's. Oh sure we made it up as we went along, and it's far from finished, it's just functional enough for a party she's having tomorrow night. So it will be loaded in my pickup and trucked over to her house tomorrow morning. It's ten feet long, and forty two inches high. I just hope my Ram 250 will carry it as it weighs a ton!  ( Just kidding, but it IS darn heavy. ) |

Nice Job Jerry. We had one in the basement when I was growing up. Dad used paneling and it was nice.
I built one for my barracks room. Only 4 ft long. I used plywood and a propane torch to highlight the patterns and then sanded and varnished. My was that nice. Left it when I moved on...

Great job and always nice to have time to work on a project with one of your kids.
From the looks of your truck I think a Dodge 250 is all that is left of it. LOL |
