Building a Tiki bar from pallets

I was throwing a Hawaiian luau, and i want to make a bar...so i thought that i could use two pallets and make one.I made this bar from recycled pallets.I used two pallets to complete the bar, one whole pallet, and one cut in half. I used the one I had cut in half, and used it for the ends of the bar. Then I used MDF for the top. Then I thought i should put more support in and add a shelf to hold all of my mixes! After decorating and loaded up ready for use, looks pretty good! Total time spent building it, about an hour.

    I can't show my hubs this - he's been begging me for years to let him have a few tiki torches! I'm a shrew - so I said no way Jose. But I finally relented. if he say this - I'd have to whip up a bar too!! Love it - but let me relax on my patio with a margarita before I can contemplate another project!

    Oops, I should edit my above comment to say "Oh how cool!", right? I mean the last guy I said I liked something and that I thought it was "cute" was my nephew about his new car. His reply was "Great, now I'll have to get a new one." He's surrounded by "cute" though. He and his wife just had their third baby girl.

    So Susan your a Crown Royal drinker, huh? I'm a light weight. I just recently started ...»

    partaking again and prefer a weak wine cooler. Got any Wine David? I'll bring my own Sierra Mist Natural if you do..... :^D

    Love it! Someone mentioned his fire pit, but forgot to mention the koi pond, gazebo, bridge, etc. Wow! What a great backyard!
