Diy bar room project in a spare room at home.Overall this was a fun project.The sliding window cover was about the hardest thing to figure out.The design and building the hardware by hand was tedious and took patience.Although I saved alot of money by building my own hardware.I hope everyone enjoys this project of mine.I will update this project once it's complete.Still need bar stools,a tv,a small fridge and a few other things before it's finished.

| Main frame is built. |

| Top and rear supports added and frame is mounted to the floor and the wall. |
 |
| Rear shelf supports. |
 |
| Front trim and base board installed. |
 |
| I added side and top supports to add a top to the bar. |
 |
| 3/4 Oak veneer and trim installed on the bar top. |
 |
| Stained with dark walnut and cleared with spar urethane. |

 |
| I built bar lights using 1 gallon galvanized buckets. |
 |
| Light socket inside bar lights.I will be using led bulbs. |
 |
| I decided to build a sliding cover for the window in the bar room. |
 |
| I made my own brackets to install the sliding window cover.I used flat steel stock and old garage door cable pulleys. |
 |
| Window cover is stained and brackets installed. |
 |
| Sliding window cover installed.I also used flat bar steel mounted on the wall for the window cover track.You can see video of the window cover working here. http://youtu.be/_Ri4VnGsoas?list=UU5M3Xup8TYbOQ5-o70ySyqw |
