Way back in the 1987 or so I had a small cabinet shop and here are a few of the restaurants I built the cabinets for
Quite a bit of it was plastic Luminant work.
Look at the third picture and notice the Bob Cat hanging from the roof.
When I was just about finished with the top I was wiping of the counter top and looked up and saw that cat over my head.
It scared the snot out of me as I hadn't seen it be fore that time.

Some nice work there. The Cat is a little close for comfort.

I can see how that bobcat would get a jump out of you!

I'd be cool if there was a camera taking pictures of the expressions as customers first notice that cat!
Make for a good photo wall montage.

Making cabinets for these type of commercial establishments must have been a real challenge. Designing for the abuse!

At the first bar [picture] they had a construction party and man it as so cool to sit there and eat and have drinks at a bar you have built.
At the red topped bar we always tried to be there cleaning up our work the week before they open cause the cooks would be there practicing their work and we could order stuff and pig out for free. LOL
