Even though this project took longer than I thought it would, and sometimes stretched the limits of my skill set, I'm pretty proud of how this L-shaped bar with a built in wine rack came out.
Because it was such a big piece, I ended up having to chop this edit into two parts. In this first part I cover the cabinet build out. In part two, I'll get to the feet, the wine rack and shelving, and the of course, the bar tops!
The cabinet is what I've started to call the combination of tongue and groove joints, mixed with a poor man (or lazy man's) shaker style facing.

**TRANSCRIPT OF VOICE OVER**
Have you ever worked on a project that felt like it took forever, like, way longer than it should, a and by the end of it, all you were really looking forward to was a celebratory stiff drink?
Oh yeah, nah, me neither….
The L Shaped bar.
Let’s get into it.
Like I said, this was a big project, so I’m going to have to break it up into two parts In this part, we’ll cover the creation of the cabinet.
Starting with the bottom, which consists of two miter joined panels
I started by squaring the 6 pieces that would make up the two panels
Then, glued them together into, well, panels.
Once the glue cured, I cut one end of each panel square and the other at 45 degrees
Then, aligned them and added two marks to guide the biscuit jointer.
And cut the biscuits to help keep things in place at glue up.
After a clean dry fit, it was time to glue.
Then, I had to check this check with a few bow tie splines, or butterflies or butt joints… or whatever you want to call them
With the bottom in okay shape, it was time to get started on the corner supports
Each corner had a pair of two beveled supports, an outer longer one, with cut grooves .to hold the cabinet faces, and an inner shorter one to sit a top the bottom panel to help support the weight of the bar top.
Queue raw lumber squaring montage.
Once I had all 20 pieces roughed out, I trimmed the outer supports to 32 inches, and the inner supports to 31 1/8th, leaving space enough for the bottom panel to rest flush with the full length of the longer support… you’ll see.
Then I cut a 45 degree bevel in each piece.
And glued up the pairs.
Using a tongue and groove bit set, I cut the grooves into the outer supports.
And wrapped up by giving the outer pieces a roundover.
With those done, it was time for the cabinet faces. Which are kind of a poor man’s or maybe lazy man’s attempt at a shaker style. I used more tongue and grooves to join the stiles and rails (which were really more like stumpy stiles) and also allow the inner face panels to float.
So the corner connected to the vertical stile, which connected to the horizontal stile, and in between those, was the floating face panels
Let’s start off with the face panels.I’ll save you another jointing and planing montage and just jump to the gluing.
Once glued, I trimmed all 4 panels down to dimension. So that’s two larger panels for the long face, and two smaller panels for the ends of the L shape. The short face I left empty for the wine rack in part 2.
Then, cut the tongues on all four edges of each face panel.
And then gave each piece a finishing level sand down. While I take care of that, I’d like to invite you to like,subscribe, and ring the bell! I love hearing and learning from you guys, and I’m never in short supply of project ideas to share with you!
Okay, back to it.
With those ready, I got to work on the stiles. Cutting them down to size, and then routing tongue and grooves. The long edges of the vertical pieces got one tongue side and one groove side (except the center stile/rail of the long face, which got two long side grooves and two short side tongues or tenons), While one long edge of the horizontal pieces got a groove, and the two ends each got a tongue.
With all those tongues and grooves ready, it was time to glue the stiles and stiles/kind of rails into place ...with a bit of short clamp jerry rigging....
