Coop Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 This whole setup is damn nice. I know better than to ask, but I guess the red line to the dart board is LED? On a lighter note, maybe not so much but, will you be able to open this area before your governor approves it? . Great job bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark J Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hey @pkinneb, ask your daughter if wearing masks is having any law enforcement implications. I bet it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before COVID-19, local convenience stores all required customers to remove hoods and sunglasses. Now they all want you to wear a mask and stand so far from the counter you have to toss cash to pay for stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the 6' separation rule has cut down on their undercover work for sure, although she is still doing a fair amount of surveillance work and had a pretty good sized drug bust that made the Chicago papers a couple weeks back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pkinneb Posted May 23, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Well due to the many interruptions I had this week not going to have the bar cabinets completed but I am making good progress. Face frames are made for the three cabinets that were done I also skinned the visible sides of two cabinets. I know they will be stained black but that fake red oak ply I got just didn't look very nice so it got skinned. Also wanted to say thanks for the input on the Dubuque clamps I am really liking these things!! So much lighter, no black marks, or glue sticking to them. I am going to start swapping these for my bar clamps. The three completed cabinets are in the spray room drying forgot to snap a pic and its raining so it will need to wait. I hope to get those installed and the last one started tomorrow. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Cabinets are looking sweet! Did you get the clamps off of Amazon. @treeslayer, can you order these straight from Dubuque Clamp Co.? Sounds like a great Father’s Day gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Was painting the wine cabinet dividers a chore? Did you pre-spray each dividers prior to assembly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to bad. I stained and sprayed one top coat prior to assembly then added a couple more top coats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted May 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hey folks I was pondering bar counters this evening and I am trying to decide if I need support between the two coolers. The counter would be about 50" wide and supported on both sides and the back and will be 1-1/4" thick MDF. I'm tight on space but could do a 3/4" or 1" thick 24" deep 36" high support if needed. I'm thinking I do but I have a tendency to over engineer what would you do? Also hung the tv and neon sign so I could use the cardboard boxes they came in for templates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom King Posted May 27, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I've built, and sold houses for over a million and a half dollars. No room, or section in any of them had this much work, planning, and thought behind it. I'm sure if this had been in one of them, the price would have gone up at least a couple of hundred thousand, but then, I would never have been able to build one in nine months. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I’ll leave the answer to you and @wtnhighlander‘s link. I bet it’s in here somewhere but are you doing your own taping and floating of the Sheetrock? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Are you having a company install the countertops or are they something you are making? Punch line ask the professional they generally know and helped me out when I did my cabinets in my last house. It depends on the material you are using. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never used that before. Looks like I should be good without a center support even at double my projected weight. 13 hours ago, Coop said: I’ll leave the answer to you and @wtnhighlander‘s link. I bet it’s in here somewhere but are you doing your own taping and floating of the Sheetrock? I hired out three things; taping the sheet rock, rough in plumbing, and carpet install. Taping and carpet are skills i don't have nor do I do enough of it to develop. Plumbing well I hate pluming and I had a vent issue I was concerned with that had to pass code so I hired that out as well. 4 hours ago, Chestnut said: Are you having a company install the countertops or are they something you are making?

I am making the counter tops with MDF cores and epoxy coating (stonecoatcontertops.com) for the tops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that you go over that in detail that sounds super interesting. Is this epoxy different than the bartop stuff sold in box stores? I've seen many tables done with that stuff that look hazy from scratches after a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this epoxy different than the bartop stuff sold in box stores? I've seen many tables done with that stuff that look hazy from scratches after a few years. Will do. Here is a sample board I made a few months back, the other day I was purposely scratching it up with a key and while, if pressed really hard, I could get it to scratch it was not easy and most could be buffed out with a microfiber cloth. On the real counters I will be going with a white marble, black streaks look the difference is when you do the actual counter you do two pours one for the color like above and a second clear top coat so that if needed it can be repaired with out getting into the color. I bought the product during a sale so all in for all three counters i will be at about $400. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
