yeah i've used them for an entertainment stand in the bar. Great service.

So, i'm tempted to get one - I hate cleaning, anything that's going to make it easier is something i'm interested in. Anyone have one? are they as good as they look?

See that's why I like scaff tube or threaded pipe - order it to size, no cutting, no welding. Easy. Loads of connectors available. I think if I had access to welding equipment I'd use more angle or box etc, but tube makes life soooo simple.

in fairness those ones might be, I just know I had ones that were 250kg rated (apparently) but were quite flimsy in any direction other than compression. I know you'll be compressing with your hoist but any swing I think you'd bend them - or at least would've bent the one I had. I don't think...

I'd stear clear of those shelving units if you're intending to use it as a frame to support a hoist. they're very thin metal and only have such a high load limit for a uniform distribution of the load. If you put a bar for example across the top, then hang your hoist you're likely to bend that...

Well done mate, glad it all went well

well, sanding is taking an age, spent about 3 hours over the weekend and the boards are coming along, I want to spend longer on the top as it needs to be comfy on the arm when having a lean and a pint, so I've rounded the edges. I could've done this with a router but I do want to keep some...

Welcome to the slippery slope....I started with a brew in a bag kit from muntons.....now I have a home bar and all grain setup... welcome and good luck

afraid it's a collectors item....I simply couldn't part with it.

well - to be honest I'm seriously considering covering the carpet when all this is done. It's quite firm carpet tiles so after a spot of research, it seems that it'll be fine under a wooden floor. So I think once the bar is finished i'm going to try my hand at laying flooring. Just ruins the...

the end is in sight! So, run out of boards again sadly, so can't finish the back side for leg holes just yet, but I've got loads of sanding to do, would like to get the bar top sorted and fixed ready for piping to come so I can actually use the keezer! so I might just hold fire buying more...

NOW SOLD

afraid so.

found this online, I think i'll emulate this to an extent. So i'll sand back the boards, scorch, then just apply a stain. Think that'll look great, then the bar top can have more layers

Well we're making progress, I've made a start on the cladding for the keezer, as you'll see i've left the end board loose at the moment. This is because I've screwed the support frame in to get correct levels, once i've secured the boards to the frame I'll then attach those end boards but just...

so the general layout is sorted. Made a start on the cladding but lots to do there. I’m ditching my tap tower idea and going for something different. I’m going to emulate this shelving unit. But on one of the horizontal beams I’ll install my taps. Wish me luck!!

Well the collar is on. Excuse the rubbish, pretty much chucked whatever was on hand on the lid to weigh it down. Now I've not gone for a huge collar - I'm not fitting taps to it, it's purely there for me to drill through and run lines. I used the existing top holes from the original position...

not easy at all! I mean you could shorten them, but then you lose the bit at the end.. I have seen some 3" ones which would be ideal but they don't come in stainless... Might have to accept that for the better fit. I was going to use your method, but I found the 5/8 to 3/4 and thought i'd try...

walls are still red.... and funnily enough, just put some of the tap tower together and cut my finger......how did you know......

Cat seems to like it haha! yes, I mean my garage has been all manor of things since we moved in - started as a workshop, and all I ever made was....the workshop! then it was a gym but i've realised I'm happier being drunk and fat so sod all that nonsense. I had a plasterer come do the...
