"Shape-Shifter
...The next best thing to custom bar plans!



                                  
About the design...
Shape-Shifter plan sets come in standard lengths which are based on average room sizes. To assist in changing the length of the bar, the cutting list identifies the parts you need to change. Where possible, the parts are designed to be cross cut from standard dimensional lumber to minimize cutting time and eliminate the need for cutting diagrams. Plywood part sizes are optimized to accommodate standard sheet width. All dimensions in the plans are provided in both English and Metric units, and include separate cutting lists for each.


All models accommodate a standard drop-in bar sink with faucet or "dry sink" below the bar top.

Standard Features:

Full size contemporary "coved" arm rail design. Plans include complete instructions and setup info to make the arm rail using standard tools and equipment.
Sectional base and top design to make room setup easy. This also makes "knockdown" easy for relocating the bar.
Designed to accommodate optional brass foot railing.
A drop-in hospitality/bar sink can be located anywhere below the bar top. Details are included.
Shelf area under the bar top is provided for barware and tools.
The lower base section can be open shelving or enclosed with hinged doors. Details are included.
Designed for "no mortise" decorative door hinging.
Recessed glass rail design with clean outs at ends
Cutting lists included in English and Metric units.
Length dimensions can easily be modified.


"Lift gate" models are available for both straight and L shaped configurations to add seating capacity to your bar. The lift gate is mounted to the wall. The design includes "two hand release" safety locks to hold lift gate up when in open position.
Tools you will find useful:

Mini Pocket hole Jig (above)
Pocket hole jig
This tool will save you hours of assembly time while providing strong joints that pull tight for a better appearance. It saves you money, since fewer wood parts are necessary in the design. It also saves money on hardware that might otherwise be necessary for assembly. This inexpensive tool will pay for itself many times over. Click the link to the left for info!
Dado cutter set
To shape the arm rail you should have a 6 or 8 inch diameter dado cutter set for you table saw. A  standard saw blade can be used instead of a dado cutter by making multiple passes. You should also have a 3/4 inch radius round over bit for your router. For assembly, you should have a driver/drill, clamps and some basic hand tools.
