This started out as an idea and just grew. I had a heap of old hardwood and the sides off an old padded waterbed laying around, and decided I wanted a semi-circular bar, so I kerfed and bent the padded side of the water bed into a semi-circle. I cut up the beams from an old pergola for the bartop, which came up very nicely with a few coats of decking finish and made the barrel front out of short palings that were roughly sanded. I had a Jack Daniels sign which fitted nicely into the front, and will eventually have backlighting. Finished off with a couple of pieces of thin maple painted black for the hoops, a set of taps from a Tasmanian pub and there you go, what's in my head is now in the barroom.
I've got a small fridge under the bar that takes two corny kegs, with the lines going through the top, and lagged from the top of the fridge right up inside the standpipe to keep the temperature stable.
If anyone wants info, give me a yell.
