Everybodys creations on this site inspired me and got the ball rolling on this project, and due to my recent unemployment I have been able to take on a few tasks I have been putting off for awhile, and this tiki bar is something I have wanted to do for years. Though not very large or complicated I could never find the time until now.I spent two and half years working at a hardware and finally had use for my employee discount. Good thing I got everything before I left. It did not occur to me to take progress pics, I just happened to snap one with the camera on my phone. Its still missing two features though, the tube lighting underneath the counter top and a tiki mask in front.

It begins with a single cut... I soon realized I had a jigsaw laying around somewhere.

framing and panels done

black padded vinyl on and bamboo set... and a pirate sword, you know, just in case
