Some trimming put on the rear shelf and then stained.
An early birthday present/Christmas present get the stools in play.
Cheers!!
A bit more commentary can be seen at www.brandozines.com/bar for the construction, if you didn't already come from that site to here! :)

Would also like to build a replica. What overall dimensions is the L shaped bar? And how far back from the wall did you decide to come out, I have a limited space to work with but really like the look of yours.If so and you would be willing to share, please send to bryan.cripps@gmail.com. Thanks.

Thanks for the ideas. I came across your page and got a inspiration like none other. well a week into it it's almost done and looks almost as good as yours. Thanks Again!
I love that bar. My wife has wanted a bar for years so I have studied these pictures over and over. Last weekend built the bottom frame. Will be adding the uprights and the flooring this weekend maybe even the lower shelf. Thank you so much for posting this hope you have had many years of joy with it.
This is the best home bar build site I have found and I have been scouring the web for months. How much space are you leaving between the top and lower counters? how deep is the top counter, front to back? Could you email me your specs? I would greatly appreciate. jdsbc98@gmail.com
Great Job mate,
any chance you could post the length of the bar and its return. or let me know the size of your floor tiles and I can work it out. I plan to build my bar in 1week.
cheers,
AK
not sure if you still check this but can you send me the specs on this nayboo540@att.net
Sick Bar!!
Does anyone have the specs/dimensions??
Wow this is awesome and I would like to do this myself. I was wondering if was at all possible to get dimensions of your plans if you don't mind. Thank you da_breaux25@yahoo.com
Hi. I like the design specially the upper and lower level, I have seen over a 100 bar designs but this is the one that will fit in my conversion garaje. If you can share the specs and dimension I will appreciate a lot, I don't have any experience in working with wood but you make me belive that I can do it. My email elguayakodelasalsa@yahoo.com
thanks
Just build to your size and dimensions. Study the pics and make your own. I too agree that this is the greatest home bar to build. My wife and I have spent 6 months building this and are just done. We are going to use poly for the shine,
In America those tiles would be 18 inches. So count from there and guess the last tile at about half. But really just go with a 6 foot front and all the rest will come to you.. Dale
Wish I could post the picture of our bar here but can't Just know that I studied Brandon's pictures over and over again. I have never built anything in my life but our Bar came out exceptional. It took 6 months and it looks great.
Seems Brandon will not be back here on his blog since 07 but just study the pictures and think, think, think. You will make a project just as perfect. If I start a blog and post my picks I will post the picks of our new bar and help wherever I can... Dale
Thank you Dale for your respond and keep me posted

Hi, great bar...love it.
I have begun the planning of my own, and I just love the design and size of this one. Could you please send me the specs, material-list etc., measures, if possible to alexsotberg@hotmail.com??? It would save me a lot of time, so I can begin on working on the bar immediatly.
As you can see the front 2 by 4 is where you start. Looking at Brand's tiles I concluded that in California those tile would be right about 18 inches. I counted the tiles and by measurement came up with about a 6 foot front of the bar. Because of my space I went with 6 foot 4 inches for my front 2 by 4. Remember you are just building the frame at this point.
So you have your front 2 by 4 cut between 6 foot and 6 foot 5 somewhere in that area.
Next piece: 2 foot piece of 2 by 4 now what you want to do is cut that two foot piece on each end at a 45 degree angle. Basically cut the first end from the outside to the inside. Look at the 2 by 4 and cut from the left corner in. Now use a drill. Butt the 45 degree cut up against your front piece of 2 by 4 and screw some small holes into the two pieces of 2 by 4. now put a philips head screw bit into your drill and screw the screws into the wood to hold those pieces together.
Now add the trailing back 2 by 4 piece. Remember that the other side of your 2 foot piece needs to be at a 45 cut from the outer right hand corner coming back to you.
Now you have the front, the 45 turn and the finish piece going back to your depth. My 3rd piece or depth piece is 32 inches or 2 foot 8 inches.
Now study Brands pictures to finish the frame. Remember to leave space for a small refrigerator. If you own one measure it so you know how much space to leave. If you don't own one go to Walmart and get the measurements off of the box. They always print them on the outside of the box.
Found a calculator here. http://www.calculateme.com/Length/index.htm
The front 2 by four is 6 feet long. Then run the front "side" board of the bar as far back as you would like the bar to go back. In the middle cut 45 degree angles on both sides and join the two front pieces of 2 by 4 together. Now add the back pieces.
Would love instructions, you inspired me :) chucknurris007@gmail.com

Great Job!! Is it possible that you email me instructions as well? admin@royalcatboutique.com
I too am not a carpenter and I built a very similar L-shaped bar about 8 years ago, except I found plans online for a modular one that could be disassembled if needed for easy moving. Great job!
If anyone still has the specs/plans for this awesome bar I would greatly appreciate it! Please send to broski918@gmx.com thanks!
Hi. I would also be interested in the specs/plans for this bar if anyone has them. :) ashleyamiller15@gmail.com. Thanks for sharing!
Great bar my husband is building one very similar with the opening where you have your fridge we were wondering haven't read anything about mounting it to the ceramic floor or even if you did?
WOULD LOVE FOR SPECS! PLEASE<3
Arasto.Sahbaei@gmail.com
I scoured the net for a bar such as yours, and that bar suits the plans I had in mind.
I'm not going to ask for your plans, as I think looking at the pics, it won't be too hard to work out the way your built it.
You have definitely got my inspirational juices on the move, and I am going to build that bar. Fantastic job mate..:)
Hi. This is an awesome BAR!!! Can someone please share the plans with me?
