Story of my life... "got lucky there"

Looks great man!

I'm looking at building a portable bar/ coffee counter and love the look of yours. So, naturally, I'm trying to think of ways to make this design portable...

Cool build. As a woodworker myself for 20+ years, good job. My favorite part is working in shorts while wearing boots and using a router. 😅 Been there. Bringing some trees home is the fun part. Great job.

[Tommy.OrginalvideosPhilly]

Beautiful. I need this for my basement. Wanna come build one for me in Philadelphia? Lol. Dead serious. IT is awesome!

[davidsilva]

I absolutely love this build! It would be awesome if you made a separate set of digital plans making the bar 3 feet longer.

This was an awesome video. I really liked the “oops” that were included. Those are very good points to consider when I finally build my bar.

[aceyo]

Thanks man, I'm building a bar for the basement. It's going well. Highly satisfied

[simplygaming]

As I am slowly building my corner bar I can see the quality difference between yours and mine lol great video!

[janiemiller]

This is a beautiful bar! We are in the process of finishing our basement and thinking about building our own out of pine from our property. Thank you for sharing!😊

[joseldiaz]

You explain everything so well! Thank you for your tutorial, it will help me immensely!

Beautiful job. I will try my hand at making, but I am a try beginner and don't have a lot of tools. 😊

[keywestpuma]

love the honey and walnut stain, looks awesome also. I love the way you cut the front corners and added 2x4 trim. The final product came out awesome🍺cheers. I liked and subscribed!

My father built a bar for the house when I was a kid. I've had that bar in my basement for the last 10 years now.

I would love to have a reason to build one someday, but there's no way I'm getting rid of my dad's to do that.

Another great vid🍻

[stephenmcloughlin]

Brillant video thanks for sharing will use this to build my new bar in my cabin in UK .. 😊

[motoxmadman]

[matthewgiacalone]
