Breakform Does A Bar

We completed this project a couple of months ago, but I just got around to posting this video of the process. A couple months went into the planning of this: logistics of fitting the equipment behind the bar, field measuring, laser-cutting and labeling each steel tile, detailing the footrest, bar top, backlighting, etc etc etc. It was fun to project manage, and a very intense week of nonstop fabrication, day and night. Needless to say, every time I blew my nose at the end of the day (well, is 2:00 am is the end of the day? beginning of the morning?) it was black. Nothing like metal work in an air-tight bar at night.

The video spans only a few days. Near the end you can see the construction lights go red for the soft opening, and then the bar in its final state at the very end (Tom's Shoes private party with celebrity guests Charlize Theron, Heather Graham and Jessica Alba..omg!).

Cheers!
