Built this thing and installed on my porch last year just in time for winter. This is one of a few things I've built solely for myself. The box and shelf is made of 1x8s, the bar top is 1x4s glued and reinforced with the sanded and cleared angle iron. The three boards on the front/bottom are mostly decorative. The latch mechanism is steel round tube, round stock , and flat stock, welded with my shitty harbour Freight MIG welder. I stained the bar with Minwax Red Sedona and the box with Jacobean. I left the bolt for the latch bare steel, sanded with 220 and oiled with 3 in 1. Just needed to quickly re -and and oil to get it working smoothly again. That and the steel on the edge should get a great patina after a while. Everything bought as cheaply as possible at Lowes. Used pocket holes for the shelf, everything else was screwed and glued. I haven't graduated to fancy joinery. I used 1/8" steel cable and clamps with some black shrink tube to lessen the chance of getting stabbed. Sorry for the minimal progress shots. Pretty straightforward though. Attached to brick with 90 degree brackets and Tapcons. My thanks to Sierra Nevada and Henry McKenna throughout the project. Testing setup with a 2x4 support. I was pretty stoked at this point. Got Drunk. [link] [comments] |
