    Your a joy to watch building too. There's many skilled woodworkers on RUclips but I can't think of another where you can feel the joy they have so much in their own work. It's great to watch.

    BEAUTIFUL!! Love, love the grain of hickory. It is pretty expensive here in CT. But I want to make my kitchen cabinets out of it. I think I loved both the project and watching your joy at each accomplishment. It is really great to see you build a piece of furniture again.

    Beautiful job…Love this!! That marine spar varnish is the best. I built an 8’x6’ cedar tiki bar complete with thatch roof for the backyard and did 4 coats of the spar varnish. 8 years of being outside and it still looks like new. Wish I could share a picture…you’d love it.
    This could be my next project. Thanks for sharing!!!

    Great build! Love the clean look of it.
    If I ever end up building a bar like this I would probably include some kind of a rail for the hidden bottles as I would probably nock bottles over with out one. I would also use hidden hinges in part because I hate the look of hinges. Then I would probably have it so that the switch to raise the shelf is based on the arrangement of items on the top surface using either some reed switches or RFID tags because I like the idea of a secret combo to get to the bottles.

    @davidstephens1092 Год назад

    Very nicely done April. It is somewhat similar in layout to a bar I am making using a very old upright piano as the cabinet ( before anyone gets upset, the piano had been the victim of rats and was well beyond viable repair as a piano). The raising section will reveal the spirits with nip dispensers and a post chill for beer and premixed Bundy rum, with mini-kegs and the chiller unit mounted in the lower section. The project has been on the back shelf for a while, but now I feel inspired to get back into it. While the outer skin is there, I still have a lot of custom work to do internally. Thanks for sharing your personal creation.

    Hello April ..... Looks warm and elegant. The only input I would have suggested would have been to use a hydraulic hinge for the drop door so that it can't slip through your fingers and slam down while raising or lowering it. So nice to see a piece of furniture made of nice solid wood. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    What a beautiful bar cabinet! I recently purchased your plans for my on build. In the plans you state that there are two 1/4" x 1 1/2" dowels used and to drill/dry fit them prior to assembly. As I watch your video, I can see where some of the dowel holes go but not all. Would it be possible to send an additional plan detailing all the dowel hole locations?

  • @mikelenz1990
    @mikelenz1990 Год назад

  • @AndreaArzensek
    @AndreaArzensek Год назад +1

    I like how the lift makes cabinet more practical as you don't have too deep cabinet meaning the bottles in the back would be harder to reach. Great solution!

  • @craigchatterton4164
    @craigchatterton4164 Год назад

    Two simple questions if you don't mind. #1 at 10:05 you said it was a simple fix to stop the "rubbing" in your test. What was the simple fix? Did you just sand down the side that was rubbing? Or did you reposition the hardware in some way? #2 at 15:24 you had to adjust the "hungry hippo" out a little bit so the doors closed flush. The thing that always trips me up when I do that is the screw hole! You have to re-screw the hippo in just a tiny bit but how did you stop the screw from just going into the old hole? Did you fill it in before adjusting?
    I'm definitely not as experienced as you and it's always these little details that trip me up at the end.
