Fold-Down Murphy Bar -- Woodworking

In this video I build a folding "Murphy Bar." It is designed as a classic midcentury piece that opens to display your liquor bottles and glasses with a large bar top you can sit at and enjoy a drink. When you need some extra space, the bar top can fold away, revealing a storage cabinet below. It is made from walnut, with brass hardware. The finish is 5 coats Waterlox. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below.
Thanks for watching!

i am so surprised nobody mentioned the amazing editing skills and timing of the dings and hammers to the beat of the background music!!!! Amazing woodwork :)

@youarenotthetarget4301 2 года назад

Cuz no one here but u came for dat dings n hammers to the beat. We r here to watch the woodworking process.

@J4Julz Год назад

I'm with you on that. The extra special touches!

@Necker12 5 лет назад

I think this is my favorite woodworking project I’ve seen on RU-vid. Amazing work!!

@conradscustomcabinetry5331 6 лет назад

This is absolutely fantastic. I make a lot of Murphy beds with different variations based on client needs, but I always have a difficult time coming up with a leg situation for fold down tables. It always seems like you have to hide functionality in the aesthetics. You’ve come up with a way to showcase it in plain sight. Very well done. Enthusiastically subscribed!

@MakeSomething 6 лет назад

This is crazy beautiful! WOW!

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Thanks David!

@RadElNew 2 года назад

Any Wyrmlings?

@woodworkchannel3353 6 лет назад

Beautiful, also that detail on the base to allow for air to flow thru was both functional and beautiful

@Griswald2000 5 лет назад

I like the jig for routing the dadoes for the shelves, simple but repetitive. Great looking and functioning build. I also like the grating for the baseboard heater.

@MichaelAlm 5 лет назад

Thanks!

@sergeantmaker 6 лет назад

Great example of fine wood furniture using plywood. Imagine what that would cost if it was all solid wood. Great craftsmanship.

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@Virgo_god0972 5 лет назад

Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down? Great build!

@alexandrypena14 3 года назад

This beautiful great work!! Is there any downloadable plans for this!

@dairybarnwoodworking215 6 лет назад

😲. That’s awesome. I love the basket weave detail! I found you because of the plywood channel video but sub’d because of this one. You’re a legit builder. If you put out a few more like this one your channel’s going to go nuts. Keep it up man!

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Thanks so much!

@jeffforbes3772 6 лет назад

Very nice...so glad I tripped over your channel. I'm now a subscriber. Thanks for sharing.

@Floridaoutdoor Год назад

Do you have the plan/instructions to sell for this Murphy bar please?

@AngieWilliamsDesigns 6 лет назад

That is amazing! Your channel came up in the suggested videos. But I recognized the name from listening to the Making It podcast. David Picciuto mentioned you and this Murphy Bar. Bob Clagett had mentioned you another time. I'm glad they gave you the shout out. This was amazing to watch.

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Thanks Angie!

@WimPrest 6 лет назад

@avante2579 6 лет назад

que interesante sincronía entre la música y los golpes 6:12 😎😎👂👂👂👏👏

@reforzar 6 лет назад

Love the asymmetric balance of the symmetric shelves. Also that it looks great in both positions. Well done!

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Thanks so much Brian! It was definitely a challenge to make it look good in the up position.

@MidnightMaker 6 лет назад

Extremely well done! I didn't notice that it was going over the baseboard heater, hence the large cutout in the back. Was that a DiResta ice pick? You got David's attention, hopefully he'll mention you on MakingItPodcast.com. Mallet synched to music was a nice touch. WIll now go and check out your other videos. Looking forward to your channel growing with more great content.

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Thanks so much! Yeah, I put the cutout in for the heater. I built the base without glue on certain joints, so if my friends move, I can install new side panels and put back legs on. Thanks for watching! And thanks for going through my other videos! (Fingers crossed for a Making It shout out)

@MidnightMaker 6 лет назад

David (Make Something) did shout out your video for the MakingItPodcast.com this week! Congrats!

@carlosdelagarza8983 2 года назад

I cannot tell you how enthralling it was to see this beautiful piece of furniture come to life - you truly have some mad skills! Also, the use of the garage door as a whiteboard is genius; something I will definitely begin using in my shop. Thank you! 👏👏👏

@WimPrest 6 лет назад

I don't know how much time the editing took you, but the transitions with the music are impeccable! This was some great work from a project/product standpoint as well as the production. Excellent job. Especially the bits around the hammering and the initial case assembly where you are standing up the walls in time with the "whooshy" music.

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Thanks Wim! It took some time for sure, but it was fun to edit. Thanks for watching

@weberwoodshop 6 лет назад

Omg this is rad! I gotta try this some day. Awesome idea and beautiful execution. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

@hazembata 6 лет назад

I dig it. How long to build?

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Thanks! Around 2 weeks to build, and 1 week to apply finish and install.

@travisradke9753 5 лет назад

Love your work, really nice proportions and design. It's also nice to see this kind of work created with a table saw that doesn't cost over $2K. Very inspiring.

@Matt_224 4 года назад

The "low cost" table saw, as well as the great designs are what drew me to the channel. He makes everything look so easy.

@protoform77 2 года назад

I appreciate that you used laminated plywood and pocket screws. A build that is both beautiful and approachable for the hobbiest woodworker. No dominoes, no crazy glue-ups, no special equipment. Thank you for posting this. Wish there were plans! Just out of curiosity do you have a sketchup file you would be willing to share or put up for purchase? Thanks and keep up the exceptional work!

@MichaelAlm 2 года назад

Thanks! Plans are in the works. I’ll have them in the next month or so.

@protoform77 2 года назад

@@MichaelAlm please tag/message me when they become available! Really great work!

@mikeminnick9712 Год назад

I have been perusing ideas for awhile on needing to make unique liquor cabinet. I would not make it exact as yours but would certainly appreciate buying plans to adapt to as your project is really well done. Thanks for sharing.

@jlf1430 6 лет назад

Very interesting design, very well made. Beautiful piece of work. Thanks for sharing...

@dmitriys3983 6 лет назад

Great job ! What kind of locks do you use to keep table top locked in up-right position ?

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Thanks Dmitriy! They are called bullet catches. This is my fist time using them, and they are great. A very satisfying click when you put the table up.

@mysterykid5382 6 лет назад

Dillons Woodworks thank you!

@JeffMarxWoodworking 6 лет назад

Nicely done, thanks for sharing! I really like your pillowed edge banding - that makes for a really nice effect. What bit did you use to accomplish that?

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Thanks Jeff! I used a round-over bit, with most of it behind the fence of my router table. (Basically the bottom 1/3 of the bit is exposed) It leaves a flat on the face that I hand sanded to a clean oval shape.

@MichaelAlm 6 лет назад

Sorry, top third not bottom third. I hope that makes sense 🤞

@JeffMarxWoodworking 6 лет назад

Makes sense, thanks! I'd love to steal that idea and am happy I don't need to buy a specialized bit. I checked out some of your other work on your channel and like it. I've started a channel recently as well, would love some feedback if you get a chance to take a look.

This is probably one of the most amazing builds I have ever seen it was simple yet elegant and you did so much detail work on it and, just beautiful!

@juricajagnjic658 3 года назад

Nice job Michael. Greetings from Croatia. I was wondering how were you satisfied with Dewalt portable table saw? Is it good for some fine woodworking or not coz I see that you switched to Sawstop?!

@jumar360 Год назад

I'm getting caught up on the wormword collab so Im rewatching this video. I hope it works out. It's a cool furniture idea and very original (as far as I know).

@Fb33EYE 3 года назад

@TizonaAmanthia 2 года назад

that Sacrificial foam board is a really neet idea! wish it wasn't styrofoam, though, now your sawdust is filled with not so very environmentally friendly styrofoam bits. gross.

@shakaslatino5806 4 года назад

This is awesome piece of wood work master craftmanship... i likes most of your craftman design. PS from Singapore

@SecondSonWoodworks 3 года назад

I love this build and the video! Great editing and music. Also, the top part of the bar is sick, with all the shelves. Loved watching your technique for cutting the dados. OH and the rounded trim is beautiful! Truly an amazing piece of woodwork. Very inspiring! Cheers

@darlingtonjonesimagery9247 4 года назад

Questions!!!! How did you get the wood to stay up without a latch? And how do you prevent it from being accidentally kicked over from the legs, when it is opened

@TheOlmsteadWorkshop 3 года назад

Truly incredible design. Do you have plans available? I checked you shop and didn't find anything. I'd love to have one of these and support the channel.

@rw7532 2 года назад

Nice work! What did yiu use to fill in the mail holes in the walnut? The wood fillers I’ve bought turn reddish brown when hit with the finishing oil and are very noticeable.

@TMP2064 2 года назад

It's more bespoke furniture than, hidden Bar. Can one come up with a design with taps?

@DrCantinero 3 года назад

I'm definitely gonna be trying this project. Looks amazing! Cheers.

@lornapenn-chester6867 2 года назад

I would prefer no music but explanations instead. Just my preference.

@upnorthoffcuts929 3 года назад

So I'll go and give a sub after watching three or four videos. Not too sure why it took me that long to hit the sub button. Beautiful job and thanks for sharing the build.
