Fishing can't be your only hobby....

[Drake]

Otherwise what would you do when the bite is slow?

Lately I've gotten into some home brewing with my neighbor. But after the 5th or 6th batch I was asking myself....where the hell am I going to keep all this beer? So, I built a bar :rolleyes:

This is my first time doing a serious wood project. I built skate ramps whenI was in highschool. I've also never tiled before. A lot went into this project, more than I thought at first. When I got into this I was like "Heh, a deep freezer, some wood and some tiles, no big deal"
Next thing I know I'm at Home Depot every two hours getting $20'd to death. The Co2 manifold, the faucets, the shanks, the SS hose clams, the moulding and the temperature regulator all add up so fast.

Anyway, without further adue. My first bar :D
What's cooler than having home brewed beer on tap in your kitchen? :cheers1:

[StinkyMatt]

Way to go Neil. When you said That you were building a bar I didn't expect this!


We'll have to arrange a little drinking/ fishing weekend very soon. You supply the cold beer, I'll bring the hot chicks and the weird Polish guy with b.s. fishing stories. (ok, one out of two ain't bad.)



:cheers1:

[skrilla]

Whens the floating version come out? :p

[JeffB]

[Dannowar]

[Divad]

Wow, That looks really good!:cheers1: Now I am thirsty!

That's something to think about. When the bite stinks I'm usually building rods or tying flies.(like now, while waiting for my HOBIE). I need another diversion!!! Nice job on the bar! I like to do a little carpentry, the last time I did anything with wood I did some routing on my wall shelves for decoration.
FFY.

[JrBasser]

I dig it. You should build me one ;) Hopefully I'll have 4wheel drive back soon on the Jeep.

And the kayak is sold, Neil. Trying to get a skiff!

Let's have a fish feast at your house! We can all bring some fish... those that have some. And some stories. And maybe someone can bring some bugs...? hah!

Nice hobby! :cheers1:

[ful-rac]

Robfish's La jolla mansion is a better venue....!:cheers1: :luxhello:

[RobFish]

This is neat!
First, I learned that I have a mansion.
Now I just learned that it's in La Jolla.
What's next? A Ferrari? A supermodel wife?
Not sure that I'd want either actually. Maintenance on both is expensive.
I'll stick with my F350 and random morally casual women.

[erinoo]

Not bad for a rookie bar....Come my Casa and see a real one..just jackin with ya Grasshopper.

[Fiskadoro]

Nice!!! A man needs passions:cheers1:

Love beer, prefer Whiskey :D

[fisher_4_life]

That thing turned out sweet! Nice job!

[Deamon]

Is this Team Lollipop's upcoming winners celebration spot? I've been pre-fishing without hooks just to zero in on my hot spot...how long are we supposed to keep these stupid avatars anyways?

[Dannowar]

all month

[bus kid]

how long are we supposed to keep these stupid avatars anyways?

Until you win one.

[Baitman]

Wow,,, beautiful tap dispenser. :notworthy:

Home brewing is an addictive sport. You'll never have a big enough system. LOL.
Here's a pic of my brewery. Took years ( many beers ) to collect and perfect this system. Installed floor drains, 50 # mash tun capability, 20 gallon batches. Basement area is perfect for all year temperature control...

[PapaDave]

You mean there are other things to do than fish?
