Your home will become a relaxing center for conversation and entertainment when you build this classic bar. Your friends will be amazed when you tell them you built it yourself. This Home Bar is 72 in. long, 42 1/2 in. high, and 24 in. in depth. It features a solid oak armrest and brass footrail.
The trim in front gives the appearance of a frame and panel design but this design is much easier to build. The cabinet is made of readily available 3/4 in. oak plywood. Where edges of the wood are visible, 3/4 in. solid oak wood is used.
At the rear of this beautiful and practical home bar is a long workshelf that provides pleanty of space for an ice bucket, blender, and other bar items you may need for mixing drinks. On the left, below the top shelf are a couple of smaller shelves for storage. In the middle, you'll have two sliding wine racks for storing your wine in a horizontal position. Also, you'll have three convenient drawers on the right.
First are the Assembly Instructions. Looking through the assembly process first will give you a good picture of what is involved in building this project.

Drill pocket holes on the front sides of the center panel as shown above. These pocket holes are used to attach the three front panels together. The pocket holes will be covered with the trim later.

Please Note! The dimensions given are based on using 3/4" thick plywood. However, much of the plywood on the market today is actually a metric size and is slightly less than 3/4" thick. This will not affect most of the dimensions, however, you will need to adjust the dimensions of the rear trim accordingly if your plywood is less than 3/4" thick.
