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 (should you so desire), the cutting list identifies the parts you need to change. Where possible, the parts are designed to be cross cut from standard dimensioned 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. Click here for rear view
