not presently. I have built a few bars but I live some place now where I really can't do anything like that.

ehh the only wood working I ever really got into was when I installed car stereo... really got into it when I had to lay frame for fiberglass molds.
but then figured out that Styrofoam works just as well and takes no time to make and shape... and if ya fuck up it's easy and quick to redo. |

hinges
 knobs  fan system (not my chocolate hand)   lights being secured to lid    placement  back    i ended up cutting a large rectangle out of the top for heat escape and weight issues. i still need to add the trim around the front doors to block escaping light, and some handles on the top to help lifting.

Nice job. I like that you used hex shapes instead of just circles and the lit fans to match the lights glow. Very creative and now I feel like building something.
