I'm almost done with the bar stools on the AA truck and next will be making the bar. I'm not real good with wood so I'll take my time and try and do it right or half right anyway. lol

The "Distressed" look on the wood would go real good with those tractor seats
Lots of open grain, maybe some burn marks. Cover it in some Spar Var marine varnish
That's a good idea I have some rough cut 1x8's that's oak and there pretty right on with your idea.The "Distressed" look on the wood would go real good with those tractor seats
I have a cutting torch and can burn them up a bit and the marine grade varnish would work great. Thanks.

Tip mark your measurement put tape back on mark see where your mark is according to the measurement. Measure twice cut once. On joints ie 45’s sneak up on your mark with trial fitting's. Take your time winter is long

Used to make rustic wood mantles for fire places beating the hell out of them with a chain give a nice effect also
For sure Murray I have nothing else to do all winter so I'll use your advice.
I'll post some pictures of how I built the bar stools and see what ya all think of it so far.
Always nice to get someones opinion and a bit of credasisiom is good as well.
Don't know if I spelt crdasisiom right but you get the idea. lol

I had some left over from another project that were a bit to big for the seats so cut them that way to fit and try to add some style a bit off but so am I. lol
Hope they hold up I'd sure hate to see someone get hurt trying to sit one one and having it crash to the ground.
Hint: you don't use a torch to cut wood Fred
Criticism, is that the word you were looking for?

What’s even funnier is that I understood Fred even before he wrote that he did know if he spelled it right

Are you running the six volt system on your truck or have you converted to 12 volt.
BTW Fred. How is your grandson coming along? Is he out of hospital yet?
That's some guy you've got there.
That's some guy you've got there.
Sure I do it's a torch or a chain saw for my wood cutting. lol
Still 6 volt not really thinking of changing because it never gets driven far when top speed is about 30 MPH.
He got home last night and we are having Thanks giving together tomorrow so will be with him. He's in a wheel chair so will instruct him on how to do wheelies in one. Not that I know how but a few endo's and he'll figure it out. lol
