Raising the bar
Sunday, July 29, 2007 8:51 pm

If you think the only thing I ever really talk about on my webpage these days is my bar, you are only half right. The only thing I ever talk about all the time now is the bar. I can't wait until it's done so I can shut the hell up about it. I made some good progress this weekend. I got the tile and some mortar and laid the tile and embedded the cutting board and hammered some copper and raised the microwave so the door would open. Later this week I have to grout everything. Anyway, here's a picture.

It's really starting to take shape. You can see where I put copper around the trash hole. I just wanted to add another natural element to the overall design. It was originally going to be a trash chute but since I couldn't really do that, I thought this was a nice compromise. And the cutting board couldn't look nicer against the tile. Turns out they don't make rectangular tile like I wanted so these 1x1 mosaics work just fine.

Sooo yeah. That's all I got. Late.

You said half right. Where’s the other half that’s not about the bar?
Looks good, though.



Chris from Shepard

I think he meant the “half right” part is that the bar is all he ever talks about on his webpage, when the “completely right” version is that he talks about his bar all the time, not just limited to his webpage.

DERRRRRRRR.
Thanks, Chris.



Stephen

Looks nice, cant wait to spill something on the finished product.



Creech

Wait, why no trash chute? I must’ve missed that.



ViD

This copper was donated because I couldn’t find it anywhere. And the places online only sold it in appropriate thicknesses for like 80 bucks. But I’m gonna butt the trash can against the top so don’t you worry.
