New Bartop almost done...
« on: October 12, 2003, 04:27:41 pm »
Buddy of mine just bought a house with a bar...so of course I had to talk him into a bartop using old parts I had lying around...



Been a fun little project.  Makes me wish I had a good spot for one.

I modified a set of bartop plans that I found in the examples section of this site.

Made the control panel seperate from the "box" and hinged both back pieces for easy maintenance.

Can you post the URL for those plans?  Looks almost what I've got in my head, but can't get out into RealLife (tm)

I made a set of plans available for the bartop I made about 2 yrs ago.  You can get them from www.skum.org/bartop

Nice job, BTW!  I skipped the marquee part on the one I made just because I tried to make it as small as possible, but seeing them with the marquee area looks pretty cool.

Found it again.

About half way down, Schematic 1 and 2 are the basic measurements.  I kept the same overall dimensions except for the control panel due to making it modular.

I was torn between that one and Oscar's, but really wanted the marquee area and the person who's bar this is going on wants the marquee display as well.

Thanks for the compliments by the way  ;D

Thanks for the post.

I suck at this stuff.  I want a cab like Oscar's (the control panel, anyway) with the marquee of the other, in a vertical mount monitor.
