10.04.2017 Raising The Bar

Austin's main purpose is to 'bring a bit of 60's sparkle' via his transformation into a fully functioning mobile bar.  The wood work is taking shape much quicker than the metal working on this project and there has been significant progress during the last couple of days.  We are taking our theme into the 21st century with a perfect blend of stained oak paneling trimmed with copper coins.  Each coin was dipped and polished and took no less than four hours to achieve a highly polished finish.  The coins have been set forever in a chemical we found online called epoxy resin.  Mixing two compounds, allowing the mixture to freelow over the surface and leaving to set for no less than 72 hours will give the bar an ultra modern mirror finish that is tough and durable.  Austin's brand is also starting to appear with the hand painted (YES.... hand painted) signage.
