| Bar top and panels removed to show frame |
This is made of ordinary stud-wall timber - it shouldn't get too damp, all measurements as per original design. The difference between designing on the PC and doing it for real is that bits of wood don't hover in the air when you let go of them, it'd be so much easier if they did - maybe someone should invent a wood hovering environment.

| First section. |
The ground that it is being built on is not level so I have incorporated an adjustable foot on each upright, this is also so that damp does not wick up the legs. This is simply a recessed screw thread and a dome-topped bolt.

| Adjustable feet can be seen on legs |

As the wood is untreated I decided to paint it in green fence preservative just in case it gets damp.
Cladding placed on bar, with filler to hide the gaps
View from the other side
Sanded off and ready for painting
After putting this is place and sitting on a stool, then standing behind the bar, I realised that there was more room behind the bar than in front, which didn't look quite right and it would mean that the seats were quite close to the wall, especially considering that there is a 20cm overhang on the bar-top.
Soooo, I decided to cut 30cm out of the width, what's that motto, measure once, cut twice, or something like that!

| A little adjustment |
Now with the re-cut cladding on. Mistakes at this stage are a lot easier to fix!!

| 30cm narrower, no room for hatch :( |
