What a bar

Project by Huckleberry posted 96 days ago 470 views 0 times favorited 14 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Here is a little bar that I made to go around a piano in the fine restaurant Maggiano’s in down town Chicago. Nice little project that consumed about two days and looks killer. In fact the owner wants me to refinish the piano lid because the new bar makes it look really bad. The brackets to hold this to the piano were fabricated out of some 1/8” flat steel. This allowed no fasteners to have to go into the piano and a good thing too this baby is a Wurlitzer.

Reminds me of the Billy Joel song: “People sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say, ‘Man, what are you doing here?’”

We have a Maggiano’s in Cincinnati, Ohio I do the lock work. They would probably want something like this also. You could ask maybe a Franchise wide project.

The finish is automotive paint wet sanded and and buffed with some 3M products. And that is a cool idea Mike didn’t know if the piano gig was specific to this restaurant or if it is a franchised deal.

This is a really original idea. My only question is what prevents spilled drinks from running on (or in) to the piano?

Hey Blake there is a 7/8” reveal that runs between the piano and the bar.
