I'm Old and retired!

[DMiller]

But I ain't dead yet. Decided to put some old Questionable skills to work on a imbibing station for my Off Hours(Almost All day every day!) Came up with this as a start. Sometimes old skills and a vivid imagination can be a bad combination.

That turned out really nice !

Looks like it's all well mounted to the wall studs . Is that a position for a sink or small refrigerator to the left of the vent ?

 

[Junkyard]

It's for the pizza oven.

 

[DMiller]

Is for a sink, HAHA, Pizza Oven!!!

Is 5/16x3" lag bolted into the studs so should be there awhile. Will be getting cabinet doors and drawers with that air return vent inside a false cabinet, just did not want it all open and staring at me all the time, UGLY. Just do not Zoom in on the welding, I am still a practicing mechanic/welder/machinist!! Not fully acquired skills just get by! Also used a .030 wire 210 Miller MIG and on 11Ga is a little hefty, kind of like dipping coat hanger into flux and using for stick welding sheet metal!! Flap wheel got a little aggressive in spots but I am also blind in one eye can't see out the other as well MAY have been doing some sampling taste testing to make certain the goods were still good while doing this!!

Have a TON of left over White Ash flooring leftovers, looks as they may get repurposed to the countertop and using knotty white pine for shelf lumber with a Urethane finish no stains as I be of simple values.

That's looking great!
May need to add a shelf or two...looks like the one is already full

That shelf was overflowing....the fact that it's not now might be the reason some of the welds are sketchy....haha

Luv ya Miller!

Nice to see u getting your priorities right now that you are in your prime . Making my mouth water as I type .

You will be happy to know I have what is supposed to be one of Ireland's finest, yet unopened Redbreast Irish Whiskey 15 yr as well a bottle of Quiet Man 8 yr bought on a whim.

I am a Common Sewer as to whiskey/whisky, it ALL tastes pretty damn good and I have no issue with a good single malt blended Scotch or switching to a dependable single barrel US Bourbon, even have a bottle of Absinth although is actually from a MO still.

 

[DMiller]

I play no favorites, I do have a significant supply and do have spares to the harder to find!
We have a local distiller at New Haven MO, Pinckney Bend Distilling, very class act, delivers one of the finest short aged easy to sip at whisky's and gin, I am a devout follower. Still love the good Bourbons.

The smallish bottle to the right of My Scotch and Irish whiskeys is a sneaky little b*****d, Grappa. Made at a local winery, about half that bottle will set you in a chair unable to get out!!

 

[Junkyard]

I think I know what we're doing on the next visit! Haha

 

[DMiller]

More than likely!!

 

[Volvomad]

There is only 1 thing to do with a sealed bottle of whiskey . When you solve that little problem, enjoy a glass for me .

 

[Willie B]

WOW! I agree, good quality whiskey all tastes good, Irish, Kentucky, Scotch, etc.

 

[DMiller]

Gotten a little further, slow process, was doing fitup, have already cut sink hole and working on backsplash parts.

 

[DMiller]

And yes that is leftover hardwood flooring with offal stair nose pieces. Can't help I am cheap!! except for the drinking part!

 

[DMiller]

Latest installment, I know you are all awaiting with baited breath!!! LOL!
The actual bar support, have a slab of Sugar Maple going to start that process next to set upon this frame. Got it square as I could with a hand square and spot welds(still pulled off true, SHYT!) got it painted up and was letting it cure but couldn't take it so hung it! Outer leg has two 1/2" bolt feet for some added stability, have a angle bracket to drill and set at the corner of the short shelves to the frame lower crossbar.
The stemware glass rack I made two weeks ago, works pretty slick.

 

[Junkyard]

I’ll let you know when the living quarters/office is ready for the bar

A single treasured memento from my Father In Law, prominently displayed on the bar,



It aint a going nowhere else!
