This is the end result of me being volunteered to build a bar for a friend of mine. I, until recently, had a big pile of scrap wood sitting in my shed for a while and apparently the wife doesn't like the site of it. So, two weeks ago, she told a good friend of mine that I would build him a bar for his basement. I found all this out shortly after he said yep.

Here comes the challenging part: his basement has a very narrow doorway and staircase. There is no way to build something of any decent size and get it into his basement. Option number 1 was to haul all my tools and wood over to his place and build it there. That would take months to finish, since I wouldn't be able to do any of the work during the week. Option two was to build the bar in sections and haul them over there to be re-assembled on site.

I went with option 2. I didn't get any shots of the actual construction going down, but that's because I was working instead of playing around with cameras. (but mostly because a scrap wood bar looks really ghetto and crappy until it's all put together)

Here's the pieces (bar top, base and three mid sections) followed by the assembled bar.
