If you can build a bar, this will be a piece of cake. I am a tooltard, and even I was able to build a decent table. Two guys I play with saw my table, ripped off my idea, and now they have their own company and sell them on the internet...cutting me out of the action. Bastards.

Do you have a pic of your table? (I won't rip it off, I promise)

Don't have pics of my table, but these are the dudes I was talking about.

They build good stuff.

Sorry to revive this thread but I have another question.

For the bar top I am going to use 1/2 inch pine (it will take the cherrywood stain very well). Should I use two layers of wood?

My frame it very well supported but I am on the fence about whether or not to use one layer or two. If I do double layer it, I would use plywood for the first and my pine for the second.

Pine's pretty weak, I'd advocate using two.

Acoustix,
Id use cheap particle board, or MDF, and stick the 1/2 pine on top, should save you about 30$.
