This very unique project is more than meets the eye. Nearly every material is from recycled and re purposed materials (I'm not sure what the difference is between the two). 100 year old barn-wood from a Wisconsin farm, corrugated metal roofing from a barn in mid-Michigan, and doors from an old Michigan State University building to name a few. We'll be posting completed project photos soon.

Pre-rusted :) corrugated metal roofing meets 100 year old barn-wood.
When we started, aside from the floors, walls, and ceilings, the only thing in the place were the pillars and the steel I-beams in these photos.
The bar is composed of recycled barnwood, old school safety glass, and a custom hard maple bar rail. The foot rest, to be shown in another photo soon, was made by welding three 4" diameter steel pipes we found in the space to square steel stock supports.
