 Some of the details.

  The Barware Caddy is modeled after the Larger Dormer on the Pig n Whistle

   I've been wanting to make a picture frame that looks like the Pig n Whistle's sign in front of the tavern for awhile.
   I kind of scimped on the detail on the tops of the sign posts but I like it.

  The actual sign

 Here's an update of the bar
(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c331/Vartha1/bar/100_5215.jpg)

Heh funny story about Captain Jack here, I'm a security Guard an one of the places I guard is an Apartment complex. One night while doing a foot patrol I saw this big white piece of cardboard in the middle of the street. I went over and picked it up to throw away, flipped it over and low and behold it was Capt. Jack!  I can now say I litteraly found Jack face down in the middle of the street! lol

Cool man cave. See it's stuff like your's that makes it cool not some elaborate factory made stuff, but hand made things like yours. I like that Guinness lamp. You shoudl thinking about designing other brands and selling them. But, the Pig n' Whistle buildings are great too. That's truly a craft. others build birdhouses, but you build beer houses. Which double as tool holders. Where would we be without bottle openers and corkscrews?

Right on. That's why I like yer idea. If you didn't have those holders it'd be like me with tools, but no storage area for them. And you always need tools and storage.

Update on the sign/frame.
  When I put the sign together, I put clear plastic on both side of the Picture so I could light it up oat a later date.
   I built a box on the back of the frame to hold a small battery operated Florescent light, and viola we have a lit up Pig n whistle sign.
  I can't help the white light in the middle of the picture of the sign when taking a photo, but, it does look better in person.

You've done very nice moods in your apartment. I really love the Barware Caddy it really looks nice and soft in my eyes. You've got a very creative and resourceful bar. I'm sure plenty of customers will get in daily. seo services (http://www.computerseo.com)
