DIY Murphy Bar

[@ItsGibsy]

Thank you for making the plans donation-based / optionally free. I'm on a budget and that helps out a lot. Next I'll drop some funds if I can.

[@stephenlines9431]

Plenty of these on the interweb - this is the best I've seen so far. Thanks Pete. Would probably use joinery rather than pocket screws, but then I'd be doing it in my own time with no commercial constraints (a luxury I doubt you have!). Given me plenty of ideas, just need to find some affordable wood!!!

[@nickyukon]

I did it, a few changes here and there but worked out great thanks for the instruction

[@ralphbrown3599]

This is one of the best DIY projects I've seen in a while

[@DIYPETE]

Cheers! Thanks Ralph!

Awesome project, Sir!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

[@mycats7321]

Thanks! The info about the hinges was especially helpful. I'm planning to help my friend build something like this for his kitchen. He has very limited space & re-built a wall where one had previously been removed. The wall has open stud pockets & when I was looking at it and discussing how he wanted a little breakfast area, I suggested a murphy table and started looking up plans for building it. He'll just have a regular plain top (possibly with some sort of epoxy or waterproof laminate on top) and an X in the middle of the table leg. He doesn't need a full box built since we have the stud pocket so I'm trying to figure out how much of a frame he will need for it & what sort of latch(es) will be needed to secure it. One challenge is that his fiance is only 5' so I'm thinking two latches on either side at a height she can reach might be good instead of a top latch.

[@DIYPETE]

Best of luck!

[@barryroberts6470]

Brilliant Build Pete. love the idea of just folding out your bar and table, on a nice sunny day with the BBQ cooking away. Best of all not a blob of concrete anywhere ha ha ha, well done on this build. Barry (ENG)

[@DIYPETE]

haha thanks Barry! Hope all is well over the pond my friend. Hope you are enjoying the summer! Cheers

[@sourabhwalia4962]

Hey buddy it was amazing. Just superb work. Nice way to describe as well. Good one. Cheers

[@rlewis1203]

I found this old cabinet at goodwill it was similar to the one he built. I just added a few extra parts and made one too 👍🏾

[@DIYPETE]

Awesome!

[@josepherwin8709]

I know you painted this, but I would’ve put the pocket holes into the longer side pieces to overlap the top piece in order to prevent sitting rainwater from intruding into the end grains of the sides.

[@lfuentes4098]

Nice job. I have no use for a Murphy bar but I can see this working as a desk or other work station as well. I'm thinking sewing station...

That'd be another great use!

[@briansworld7153]

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

[@froyd84]

Awesome build! i think you should build a small compartment for the led power supply and run the wires from the back. also, if you could please recommend a pocket hole tool.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks Roy! Great idea! I did end up running the wires behind, and will build a little compartment per your idea. As for a pocket hole tool - there are a few out there. I know Harbor freight has a cheaper one ( I think around $60 or so ) -- I use the Kreg Jig K4 - I bought mine about 4 years ago and love it. I use it a lot and it's held up well. Here is the affiliate link: amzn.to/2eHxJiV - or you can find them at most Home Depots for around $99 typically. Cheers!

[@froyd84]

|Thanks! will get a hold of that.

Oh man you live in Montana? I've wanted to move there for so long. Just to live by the mountains, a sight for sure. I don't drink, so I can't comment on the bar. But you certainly are very talented. Pete, in your next email, tell me more about Montana please.

[@petesveen]

Hi Tony! Great to hear from you. I love the mountains too. --- As for the project, I think it could easily be used as a desk or kitchen table as well with a few modifications. I'll share a little bit more about MT next time :) It is super smokey hear now though, the wildfires are all over unfortunately. Have a great week!

[@RJ-lj4mw]

Great project!! Can you do a video on how to make a Murphy Ping Pong table?? I have a small yard and a 4 kiddos. I want to utilize the space as much as possible.

[@DIYPETE]

Hey Sam! A murphy pingpong table is a super cool idea. Do you have a fence? Or would it be attached to a house or something else? I will have to add that to the list of projects to tackle when I can get around to one. Cheers!

[@cardsfanbj]

That's really cool, but I'm not a drinker. But the ad beneath is showing the same concept being used for a desk, which is something that I could do with this instead. Or I'm thinking it could be used for a planting station and storing gardening equipment.

[@DIYPETE]

The Murphy Bar design can definitely be adapted for other uses as is or a modified design. I like the idea of a garden storage murphy bench!

[@asiablack1968]

cardsfanbj or just a foldable table

[@joethc]

I actually like this desk idea, being a condo with limited space. This could be a great project for myself.
