Fire Pit Progress

A propane tank from the 1940's, cut in half makes a great fire pit. We will add a removable and adjustable grill for bbqing.

Early Morning Weld Job

Getting ready before the concrete shows up for some gate posts. 

Front Entry to the Bourbon Barrel

We realize that this update is a long past due, considering the Bourbon Barrel has been open for several months now, but better late than never.

All steel is Living Iron (except lights).

Installed Awning

Hand textured copper BAR sign above the awning. 

Hand forged scrolls double as bracing and support. 

Good view of the front entrance, which also includes our "fence" to prevent all the drunk patrons from falling into the road at the end of the night!

Pot Rack

Different length hooks. Rivited front braces. Hand forged in the shop in Sonora. 

Andirons Progress

Solid 1" steel. More progress pictures to come!

Bourbon Barrel Bar Tops

Finished bar tops with a polished wax coating.

"Barrel straps"

Steel Boxes

All boxes were specially made for the Bourbon Barrel, and are meant to be anchored to the wall, locked and display the expensive bourbon they have for sale. Each one is different, and locked with an older style pad lock. LED lights, which are controlled behind the bar, are also installed into the boxes for lighting.

Door pulls
