Jefemundo – I’ll answer your questions in order. 1) I love the epoxy coated laminate even after two years. It holds up to extreme heat and no scratches. FYI – The epoxy coating is a MUST as the laminate alone just wouldn’t stand up to daily use – something I...

Olddog/Newtrick, I would normally say that we should party during the last regular season game between the Titans and Colts but since both are probably going to miss the playoffs perhaps a raincheck is in order. Of course, if you are ever up around Indy send me a message.

All the materials ran me about $2700. The appliances (fridge, dishwasher, microwave) were another $800. I bought about 70% of the materials at Lowe's and 20% at HD with the remaining material (epoxy resin, chicago bar rail) bought at specialty woodworking stores. The laminate flooring used on...

So after about 100 hours of labor I'm essentially finished. I need to buy the bar stools and I'm nervously awaiting my attempt to epoxy the bartop but it is essentially good to go. Here are final pics. In my next post I'll discuss cost and some FYI but I'm not sure if that is kosher on the...

I think he is getting rid of them at $250 a piece + shipping (basically just covering the materials cost). Of course, they are in storage in Peoria, IL so you could always make the trek. If you or someone you know is serious about buying one I could put you in touch with him.

I've spent the last four days working on the bar and thought I would share some pictures. I've installed all cabinets, re-routed the plumbing, wired all the electrical, built the bar framing, and will soon be installing the countertops and the bar top. For the bartop I'm using laminate...

It is no longer made. However, I know the manufacturer (he is my brother) and he has several more left in storage. It's pretty cool, you use little metal "clubs" to flick a marble into a hole. Each side of the game has 9 distinct holes. My brother invented and manufactured the games but...

I'm running an Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 purchased at Best Buy. I've been very happy with it as a middle of the road projector. Also, Epson's customer service/warranty is second to none. Still haven't had time to do a calibration so reds are a bit strong. I run everything through a...

After a great deal of deliberation I've decided to modify the inexpensive low-end in-stock unfinished cabinets at Lowe's. They will be primed and painted black. The panel is an insert of 5 mm bead board paneling also from Lowe's.

Looking ahead I'm going to be adding some games. This is a limited edition "Marble Links Golf" game that I acquired. I'm also looking at getting a multicade stand up arcade game.

Here is a diagram of the 10' wall section of the bar. I will have to redo the electrical and rough-in for the wet bar which will require some dry-wall work. I'm also going to have to snake a coax from my utility room to this wall for the in-bar TV.

And here are three photos of my basement including the area where the bar will go.

Okay, so here is my basement layout

After viewing the thread "Rick's Bar" I've decided to post my own bar construction pics as I build my bar over the next month. Before I begin I want to thank Rick for his great thread, photos, and ideas - many of which I will be incorporating into my own bar. I'll begin with some photos and...
