I love you man!! You're going for hero status in my book!! As amatter a fact I have my foot up and am asumeing thie Captain position now!! Wish you where still in fla!!!

Looks like it has potential, I'm sure someone could market them!

**Raceman** · 02-13-2005, 12:18 AM

That's what I was just thinkin'. Skip, with a little fine tunin' it looks like an E Bay opportunity to me.

**bulldogdaddy** · 02-13-2005, 08:02 AM

skip,i'm with rm on this one!looks like a pretty new idea to me,never seen a bar like that one.
now ya think you can incorperate a pee trough so ya ain't gotta get up from the bar to bo to the bathroom

**Trikki1010** · 02-13-2005, 08:10 AM

That has definite potential

Get rid of the tongue and grooves, get some brass foot rail for the bottom

A SLAB w/ bark on edge polyed to death would look right nice for a top

As to selling them on E-bay, ya gonna get T-REX ta rite da ssembly enstrukshuns

good morning, post-drunk self here

no hangover but the captain morgan position i assumed sure caught up with me quick last night

i still have a long way to go on it but stacking and cutting the logs was the hardest part, this thing wieghs a ton

i had considered finding an old log to split down the middle and use it for the top, and the legs that stick out at the bottom were done for 2 reasons, 1-stability, 2-foot rail to be installed

i kept the logs from sticking out in the middle front so as to not hit your knee on it turning to get off the stool and angled the top ones for the same reason

may do the top with a "plank" type look to go with the log style, not sure yet

definately gonna stain it and poly the top

gonna put towel rail under the top in the back for getting out of the hot-tub, it's placed where you can sit at the bar and look at and talk to whoever is in the hot-tub

funny you all say to market it, i said that to wendy while i was stacking and designing, would be great in the rental cabins up here, damn heavy to move though!!

i will post a pic of it completed (maybe i shouldnt with the marketing comments hehehehe)

later,
skip

would it be lighter if you built it out of lego's rather than Lincoln Logs? LOL, jes messing with ya bud, like the bar. So when you and wendy gonna have the house warming party... be a good time to break in the new bar.

**Talon2.5** · 02-13-2005, 07:35 PM

heres a pic of it so far....

**VectorPat** · 02-13-2005, 07:43 PM

See what all you can get done when you dont have a boat and if you did it would be too cold to use it anyway..

.. Thats a pretty cool idea though, I cant say I have ever seen one anywhere else.

**Talon2.5** · 02-13-2005, 08:10 PM

it would be too cold to use it anyway..

had the bike out quite a few times here lately

rode to townsend with a few other bikes last saturday was chilly but great

took wendy up to newfound gap yesterday, it's about 4500 feet above sea level i think, drove through the mountains and snow and ice up there, we made a stop and went down to the brook and put our hands in the feezing water then threw snowballs at each other

there was a turn around that the 4 wheel drives were going through the snow so i took my jeep through there and had to put in in 4 wheel high cause i got stuck in 2 wheel drive, pretty fun stuff, we havent had time to get out like that since i got here and went straight to work so it was good to get up in the mountains, definately "gods country"

took a ride today to morristown and crossed a river and looked down and saw a few bass boats out rippin' along

**Hot Shot Merc** · 02-13-2005, 09:39 PM

Thats nice.I'm sure you'll spill a lot of drinks on it (if it works rite)

Enjoy the new bar and hope your settleing in ok.Rob

**Talon2.5** · 02-16-2005, 06:12 AM

thanks rob, settled in good now, got a few motorcycle riding buds, work is doing good although we may be on the last house this guy i work for is gonna build, we'll see how it goes

i put the first clear coat on the bar after work last night, it really brought out the grain in the wood
