Mark, I admire your work, thanks for sharing. I learn much just following the process and looking at the photos.

That is good. Shopsmith needs the money! Order a bunch of stuff if you can.

It was a long day today but the project is loaded in the truck and scheduled for installation Tuesday. I will get some good shots after it is cleaned and the counter top is installed. The top is being done by another shop and I don't even know the color but it is not black.

Thanks for following along.

Scheduled for installation on the 26th of May I was backed up to the job sight at 8:00 AM. The contractor had pushed for this installation date and here I am starring at a swimming pool in the vestibule where it was to go. Now I remember why I hate commercial jobs!
That was last week so today I was finally able to install after they got the windows set in the building and the ceramic tile down.

The flat area in the center will have some type of logo installed.

See it does look like a horseshoe.

We were taking our time and cleaning everything as it went together. It was looking good until the sheetrock finishers came in and started sanding the 20 foot wall above it. Oh well they can clean it again. I am finished, the GC will install the panels we left off for the electricians.

looks great and it was a terrific learning experience. I have always been intrigued by curved wooden surfaces. Now I have a greater appreciation for what goes into one to get that look.

I sure hope the architect and the interior designer were in tune with one another when they chose the paint and carpet colors. That black counter is striking; it'll be even more so with the right supporting colors.

Mark - That is a very fine looking horseshoe cabinet/bar/displaycounter or however it will be used. Thank you, very much for posting the scenario and techniques involved in making this gem!
