Shape-Shifter...
"I downloaded your plans 3 years ago & then had a small setback. Triple-bypass surgery. However, I mostly completed the bar (with some changes of course) and wanted to say thank you for all the links & help from your site including the basic plans. I am still doing some more modifications such as my own design drawers in the rear, boses system III for the plasma flat screen, & i added a refrig / ice maker. Thanks again for you plans & tips.

Outstanding in Oak... Shape-Shifter

I searched the web and always went back to your site. I would like to say your bar plans with the material list were absolutely right on. Plus, all the hardware options just fantastic! I made the bar out of solid oak and also 3/4 oak plywood. Your plans, step by step by step got my bar built with ease and no mis-cuts. With the natural beauty of this oak there was no staining happening, I put three coats of polyurethane on the sides and five coats on the top which brought out the true natural beauty. I used pine for the trim around the raised panels and for the arm rail which I primed and painted the color of our decor. Family and friends say how good it looks. As they pat me on the back ( I never take all the credit) I never forget to mention how I got this rock solid, great looking bar built, step by step with your plans. With just some more decor to finish out my bar/basement project its hard to put the beverage down and step away from the bar to get that work done :} Thanks For A Great Bar Plan !!!

Shape-Shifter...Great Job!!!
Guys, Thanks for the great plans. I built my Shape-shifter (along with the rest of my basement) during the past winter/spring. The plans were great and I was able to easily adapt the measurements to my specific space. I also used the same joinery to build a back-bar area complete with sink and mirror. I've referred several other guys I work with to your site -- when they saw what I was able to do they wanted one of their own. Thanks again,

Shape-Shifter...
Great plans!!!! Bar is about 90% complete. Birch plywood and poplar trim. Stained in Minwax Cherry. I can't say enough about the detailed instructions on how to make the arm rest! That's the main reason I purchased the plans. I made the stools too since I couldn't find any that were made well. Travis C., Ona, WV

"Tom - I've attached some pictures of the bar I built with your plans. Your plans were simply the best. I knew what I wanted in a bar and your plans provided the balance I needed between proper dimensions and construction, while still allowing me to customize it to meet my needs and space. I can't thank you enough. I'd recommend your plans to anyone building a bar."

Shape-Shifter "C" shaped bar !!
"Your plans were wonderful. I have never built anything before. I modified the plans slightly but without these plans I would be lost. Anyone with minimal skills is capable of undertaking this project with the assistance & bar plans from precision-images.com. Thanks again."

...Where no bar has gone before! Shape-Shifter
Here are photos of my home bar. I used your plans, modified some. The plans were easy to follow. I'm a Star Trek collector, if you can't tell. Thanks,

Great with a Lift Gate... Shape-Shifter
I really like my new bar, I had to modify the size of the plans to fit the space I had. The plans were fairly easy to follow. I think the hardest part was making the jig and using it to make the bar rail.
Thanks,

You can do it too! Shape-Shifter
Here are a couple pictures of our L-shaped bar. It turned out great thanks to your plans. I wasn't too sure we could create something like this but the plans were very good and easy to
follow. It's actually my son's bar. We worked on it
together in my basement. After making all the cuts, we put it
together to make sure everything fit.
We then took it apart, stained it and put on the finish coats. We then re-assembled it in my son's home. It is now the main attraction in his finished basement !

Rock Solid... Shape-Shifter
"This was a challenge, as I have never built anything before. The folks at our local Rockler store were a big help and gave me a lot of advice along the way. The top is made from a slab of Brazilian granite, the rest, solid oak, stained and waxed. I learned the hard way that oak can be a difficult wood to work with as a beginner, and that a Kreg Jig is a gift from God. I bought the brass rail to go around the bottom, but haven't put it on yet. I bought the rail from Kegworks on your site and it is absolutely beautiful and heavy solid brass. If one is patient, takes the time to do it right, and gets advice from someone like the folks at Rockler, your plans, in addition to making a great looking bar, also provide hours of fun and personal satisfaction. Best 30 bucks I ever spent. Thanks! Jim"

A Great Combination of Shape-Shifter and Classic Back Bar Plans cleverly modified by Tom M., Burlington, KY
"I spent 5 weekends building the bar. The plans were very easy to use, I had to alter some of the dimensions to fit the space. Everyone who sees the bar thinks I had it custom made with the stained glass. I had a great time building it."

Shape-Shifter...
"Tom - Here are a couple pictures of the bar my Dad and I built last year for my home. It is red oak with walnut stain and 3 coats of lacquer. It also has a ¼” clear epoxy top. The lighting and size of the room make it hard to do justice to the finished piece with a photo. Thanks. Bill I., Elizabethtown, PA
