Default DIY Home Projects...Lets see them.

I guess my old thread got deleted, so here's Part #2

Our kitchen remodel isn't quite finished yet, as I left the cabinets, flooring, counter tops, etc., to the pros,
but this is my contribution to the design.


I picked up a big slab of live-edge South American Parota to put in place of the old nasty tiled
bar top. I noticed it a few months ago in an exotic wood joint up the street and had to have
it for the remodel. After a little cutting, sanding, sculpting and routing, it seems to work. The
only casualty is a nasty scar on my left palm from when my router got airborne and came after
me. Yeah, that was a fun day.





There was a large crack here, along with some other blemishes, when I bought the slab. An
epoxy repair didn't turn out as I'd hoped, so I ended up routing out the crack turning it into
a reservoir. The wife filled it with some beach junk and I had a piece of glass cut to protect
everything.





The pendant lights over the bar top needed a little more pizazz, so I used some left over Parota
to make some simulated live-edge accents for the bases.





A new bar top meant I needed new coasters. I couldn't find any
I liked, so I chopped up a piece of 4x4 I've been tripping over in
the shop. Mother Nature makes the best stuff.

Not sure what kind of wood. They're taken from a regular old 4x4 I got from Home Depot.

Decided to add a foot rail to the bar.

Nice! Now you need to add a tap and handle for the keg that you'll build into the cupboards, then invite everybody over!!

I built and installed the sliding door track over a year ago. I thought it was about time I got off my butt and built a frickin' door to go with it.
