Instructions

    • 1

      Put on your safety goggles and use your circular saw to cut a length of MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) to the length that you would like for the bar top. MDF board can be purchased at any hardware store and is inexpensive.

    • 2

      Use the circular saw to cut the MDF board so that the width matches that of the sides of the bar you intend to place it on.

    • 3

      Place the bar top over the bar and use your power drill to drill the ends of the bar top into the side frame pieces.

    • 4

      Apply a thin coat of varnish to the surface of the bar top and allow it to dry.
