"The Tiki Bar Project"

2003

This is the shipping crate that we  used to create our Tiki Bar.

Here is the side view of the shipping crate.
I cut the crate in half with a jig saw.
This provided me with two ends to support the bar top.		 This is a temporary setup of the bar befoe I sanded and stained it.
And, here is a look at the back of the bar. In this image you can see the difference the stain made. Also note the support I added around the  top, using a 1x2.
After I sanded and stained it I pieced it together again to see how it was looking so far. Its getting there...

 

 The next night I lacquered the bar, I will add several coats with a light sanding between. This should provide a nice shiny gloss to it. Then we will dress up the bar so it fits in with the Tiki theme that was intended for it.
