Aloha all,

Yesterday was day one of building my first tiki bar. I have to say I was pleased on how far we got.

We started off with a small two door cabinet. From there we used 2x4s to frame out the front. The wings are at a 45 degree angle.

Put in the support beams to mount the cabinet.

Mounted up 3 pieces of 1/4" plywood.

Used 2x2s to make the frame work of the roof.

One sheet of 1/4 inch to finish it off.

A shoot of the back side. We went with a two level bar.

A better shot of the "bartender level" of the bar.

And this is as far as we got yesterday. Mounted 1.5" bamboo on the corner seams of the front and 1" bamboo for the roof supports.

I put the order in today for the bamboo fencing that will fill in the spaces between the bamboo in the front. I will also start staining this afternoon. Now I just need to decided what I want to put on the roof. Anyone have any suggestions. C/Cs are very welcome.
