I would like to build a bar in the basement for my husband.
+5
It needs to be easy, but strong and classy. Would like it big enough to support a mini fridge and have several storage areas for bottles and glasses. Any suggestions?

Google and Pinterest! Great project. Here are some links to get you started. I would look at different styles on Pinterest to get the look you are going for.

If you can find 2 night stands or end tables same height at a thrift store, then all you would need to do would be to add a top, making it as long as you want. mini fridge under the top, between night stands or end tables.
I have remodeled a bath area and worked as a mechanic on aircraft for many years. I have cordless drills, jigsaw, but do need to purchase a table saw. I love tools so have a knack, but have not built a lot of wood items. Dog houses, a little remodeling.
You can find some great old sideboards that can be made into great bars. Might be hard to find one to fit small fridge. Otherwise not a easy project unless you have tools and some wood work experience.
