I went to downtown Los Angeles today to watch my grandson run a cross country race. After the race I went to a thrift store hoping to find a table for my new found booth. I got lucky and found this older West Coast Industries table. They have been in business for over 70 years and make quality restaurant products.
I used some Howard's furniture restorer and it cleaned up nicely. It is heavy and weighs over 50 pounds.
After putting it into the booth, I got motivated and decided to put up one side of the booth.
I didn't finish that side due to darkness but hopefully get back to it in a few days.

Everything looks great, nice work.
I would be happy if I could route half as good as you. After reading this thread I realize I probably need a new bit and not go as deep, the grain was moving me all over the place.

I finally got around to having my carpet removed and replacing it with Bamboo Flooring. Besides the carpet I had to remove a wooden platform that was when I bought the home fourteen years ago.
I had over 600 mugs to carefully remove and place in the patio. Also had to place all the furniture in the patio. What a mess but it allows me to sort through what I really want to place back inside. I am also going to sort through my mug collection and get rid of some triples and lots of mugs from Trader Dick's in Reno.
I will post more pictures once I start putting the mugs back into the Tiki Nui.
Our dog loves the remodel.

That took some work, well you can always sell your mugs at the marketplace like I did
I think you used the same Bamboo flooring I put in my home.

After moving the bar around the room we decided to put it where you first suggested. I just couldn't afford to put in a wet bar over a concrete slab.
Thanks Derek.
Thanks Pops. We will have to have you and your wife over to our next gathering.

i found myself with the same issue. if you have the space, what i did was use a rv water pump hooked up to a small 12 volt battery with two 6 gallon water cans, one with fresh water going to the pump, the other for grey water coming from the sink drain.
i got the pump, sink and trap from a used rv parts distributor, cans from rei, hoses and fittings from the local hdw store and the faucet from ebay (china).
the battery is one i use on my bike to power a small stereo and lights but you can pick them up at most hardware stores as well.
all in i've got less than $150 in it and it works great.
the grey water tank has yellow and black warning tape on it so you don't mix them up, also the openings are different sizes.
the battery is wired permanently now with a battery tender plugged into it to keep it charged (this isn't needed but its nice and i had a tender that i used for that battery already
there ya go...water without plumbing.
i doubt you could go through the tanks in on evening but i suggest filling your fresh tank with 1 gallons less than your grey water tank can hold for any extra fluid getting poured down the drain.
