Candy City
« on: December 11, 2018, 08:11:55 pm »
Ok so I had been wanting a candy cab for quite awhile now, however the wife wont budge on letting me get one. So I need to seek alternatives.

No I know there was a kid out there making some pretty nice ones and charging an arm and a leg. However i don't like his business practices and I think even now he owes his kickstarter backers. In any case, he wasn't too keen on sharing info so gotta go and do it yourself.

Currently building a prototype to see how the design is and how to improve it. The CNC guy ended up cutting it in 12mm / 1/2" since I forgot to request it in 3//4". Once I build it and see where improvements need to be made i'll have it cut again in 3/4"

This is by no means an easy build like most bartops. It will take a lot of grunt work to get it nice and rounded but it will be awesome. Plan is to manufacture em and sell either as kit or pre-built.

Here's a bit of eye candy for y'all
