Hi Everybody,

Hope everyone is well, Just wanted to show a little video I made of the home bar which I have been working on over the last three years or so.. I'm from Sunny(never) Swansea, Wales, UK. I've been a keen and always learning Tikiphile for the last few years..
There is a place on the coast (The Gower) near my house, which is known as smugglers Haunt where smugglers used to run rum many moons ago, so thought it'd be an apt title for the bar..
I hope you like it.

Here's a link to the video..

If you want some pictures, I've taken a bunch, let me know and i'll post them here! Hope everyone is having a good day, if you're ever in Wales, stop by! I've also got a 1962 Boat bar,which I'll post pictures of at somepoint if you fancy having a look!

Cheers and Mahalo,
Al

Thanks A lot Hang10tiki!
I really appreciate that, I was on a pretty minimal budget so made the majority of the stuff in there myself from bits of wood lying round and improvised a bit,it keeps growing weekly though, thinking about perhaps knocking down a wall and extending it..We'll see, I'll post some pictures at somepoint too!
Cheers,
Al

Great job there. It has a wonderful feel to it and looks like a great place to unwind and relax at the end of the day. Video has a great vibe to it with the music in the background.

I completely understand about being on a budget and reusing things. I'm doing that now.

Keep sharing.

Creativity replaces lack of capital admirably in your bar! Personally, I love the cozyness you've got there. Beware of making it so big it loses that.
