That's great!
Hey what about cutting out like ten holes in the bottom of the shelves with a say 3 inch hole saw.
Then just top with plexi.

Similar to one of my ideas: cut out rectangle out of the center of the existing shelf and use a (rabbet?) router bit to form a lip so that a piece of plexi or will fit flush with the top of shelf. (The top shelf is different and I think will be easier since it isn't part of the booze safe.)

I have a project that needs some bamboo circles but it is such a pain in the butt to cut cleanly. I like your idea of using PVC for that!

I just gave it a pale yellow spray paint to take the white out of the pvc. You could also use shellac like I did with the faux bamboo on the front of the bar. I think its a better result, but is more of a pita to work with and probably doesn't matter if you are just making short sections.
