I made this for my mother for her apartment. It is a very small place and since the kitchen and living room is all in one room I thought to maximize the living room and to add more counter space and storage space that this would work good. In fact it worked out great. I also made the stools for her bar as well. She has not stop talking about it since I set it up at her apartment. The bar measurements are 36"H x 16"W (Base)24"W (Counter Top) x 48"L. The stools are 25"H seats with half backs on them. I am so proud of this build and loved how it turned out. She has been asking everyone in her apartment building to come and look at it.

Your design has inspired me.  I'm borrowing a lot of your ideas for a cabinet that I started.  The bead board gives a nice touch and  its cost effective too.  thanks for sharing.

Thanks Tom for your comment. For the counter top I used 3/4" birch plywood and framed the outside of the counter with pine 1x2 strips. I used 3 coats of minwax early american stain and then put 4 coats of gloss polyurethane to seal it.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
