This is a project from 2019 for a farm house remodel I did.
The coffee bar and other things are made from old silo rod found on the farm, and some salvaged plank. Whenever you can include the forge, the welder, a couple hand planes and some woodworking in a project with salvaged materials from the property, it's going to be fun.
Note the final finish for all wood tops was hand planed.
For raw material we'll start with a pile of old silo rod. For those who might not be aware, this rod was wrapped around a wood silo to hold it together. It is a long rod 1/2"-5/8" thick.
Part of the request was for a Noodle tray (yes, I had to look it up at first to). The noodle tray (well sort of) is a cut off from the countertop you'll see in a moment.
Here are the handles for the noodle try, hand forged from the same silo rod. (silo rod is a long rod 1/2"-5/8" thick that wraps around a silo to hold it together)
Some shelving units that are 2" native maple that was sawn from my mill. The brackets…....you guessed it, silo rod.
I made the counter top from the 2" live edge maple as well. It was glued together and hand planed to level and finish. The sink was found in the attic of the house. The legs are the live edges left over from the countertop Under the sink is oak and barn board.
An island made from the same maple. Again, glued together and hand planed to level and finish. The face (or skirt maybe?) was Ash and Barnboard.
And next up is an oak rolling cart. The top is a piece of left over butcher block from another project.
