Had a mate want to add a foot rail… to his bar …to rest you foot on…... when standing at the bar..
I made these brackets out of New Guinea Rosewood…. just need to drill a 40mm hole to thread a 40 mm Tasmanian Oak dowel through…
There are six of them … three for each side of the L-shaped bar.
Made a template and then cut all of them on a bandsaw and smoothed them out on the oscillating spindle sander.
As well as drilling holes I will need to round over all the outer edges and countersink a screw hole to mount them to the base of the bar…
More pics to follow when they are installed…

Knowing you, those are going to be the coolest looking foot rests around when you’re done.

A different, but appropriate interpretation of a “foot rest”, should we start calling it the “foot-foot rest”?
I’m curious to see the installed pictures.
I wish we had easy access to that New Guinea Rosewood in my neck of the woods! It sure is some pretty wood.

Somehow I was expecting this to start…
As I was laying on the floor in front of the bar, I noticed the pipe I usually pull myself up with was missing. LOL
But no, nothing like that at all. An actual project.
Anyway, it looks good Larry. Nice choice of wood, or timber, as you call it down under. You’ll paste the completed pics I trust.
