Turning an Old Piano into a Bar | Carhartt DIY

[@KateLB1027]

This is so badass! I found one for free on FB marketplace. My husband and I don’t have to do much deconstruction because it is pretty broken apart already 😂 We cannot wait to turn this into a beautiful piano bar!

[@susies3529]

Just found this video. Have been wondering what to do with an old piano for years. Thanks for the inspiration. I don't drink but as other people have mentioned -- the bar is AWESOME. Not only that but I now know about the Mr. Fix It KZbin channel to check out other ideas. THANKS.

[@grizabella626]

You should be so stinkin' proud of that thing. It's so amazing and it would fit perfectly in with my ideal house. I'm gonna steal it.

[@ronleezer6965]

Thanks for the tutorial. Today i’ve started to build my pianobar

[@suziemize8851]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!

[@teresasmith6084]

WOW!!! What an awesome job! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@clu7chblac4wat3r9]

Great Job! what an amazing piece. I really enjoyed watching the sanding part, because i didnt have to do it!

[@jack5528]

Just what im looking to do to mine, great work you have me some great ideas 👍👍

[@thomfroi]

What a nice idea! Well done. I am impressed by your skill and creativity. I also own an old piano that is stored in my garage for about nine years now. I think it's time for me to build a bar as well ;-)

[@TheGessipe]

Love this project!! Beautiful work!!

[@andreag8666]

I like the keys but you know what a cutting board is useful and I can always remake they part. ❤

[@christophercleary6734]

another great project!

[@yeliab0102]

This is probably the coolest thing ever!

[@pressplay6430]

I just want to die after seeing this very S A C R E L I G I O U S and L A M E N T A B L E thing

[@LyagushonokMasha]

OMG, I'm just in love with such ppl with hands, which grow up from shoulders as you!

[@al293]

WOW ! Im purchasing a 1910 Historical home and left behind is a 1907 Gordon and Sons player piano......I dont have your skills but I have hopes of saving the piano and repurposing now.......Great job !

[@douglas60040]

Amazing project

[@KeyserSoseRulz]

This made me smile. What a great hack! Brilliant.

[@danielmassey1995]

Very cool and very nice job!!!!

[@michaelthompson3177]

Good job!

[@christysimoncini6890]

Amazing 🤩

[@gymnastjay79]

Great project. Thanks for sharing

[@tonietchison1730]

Amazing thank you.

[@gericurl76]

Just found your channel. You are my spirit animal. I almost always have a project going. I just finished a fully insulated doghouse featuring upcycled vintage windows that open for summer airflow. You also seem like that guy I could just "bro down" with (I don't really know what that means). So, if you need help loading some old junk you are transforming... I'm in Utah... so.... nvrmnd. Anyway thanks for the inspiration to find my next project, I was thinking I might take a few months off, but now I can't.

[@patriciamassey3388]

What an incredible idea! Great job!

[@oldchannel681]

This is awesome!!!

[@rayraymassey]

Amazing job Aaron!

[@shaunmccartan2196]

Amazing up-cycle Aaron looks fantastic, only thing I would like to say is apart from the hinges there is no logic that its anything other than a piano, will try this idea with a hinge change. Its certainly a classy musical up-cycle brilliant idea.

[@griffethwhitehurst]

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelwyssen4604]

Cool stuff - real great.

[@tiffanymcclellan7894]

I'm here after trying to sell (& then give away) my piano on fb with no luck. Guess it's time to repurpose it into a bar!

[@irishmadrater]

Well done, looks amazing! 👍

[@bettysnyder365]

I love your vision for this transformation from piano to piano bar and of course your craftsmanship is impeccable. One question - where does one purchase a hinge lock?

[@MisSamIvee]

This is too amazing!

[@lifewithjesse_la]

Well done. I've seen a couple of old pianos on CL for free and guess what I'm picking one up soon. Again, great job!

[@aaronw6116]

Awesome, love it

[@dorshem-tov2470]

awsome sauce!!!!! that came out really nice, just an idea but u coul've routed a place for a cutting board 2 sit inside the shelf.

[@MariaOrtiz-lu4xi]

I have the same piano in my garage! I absolutely love what you did.

[@redwood1957]

great job I wish I had saved more of the piano

[@michaelreifabc123]

Thanks

[@bczubiak]

This would be cool to rent out for various events. I think I would take out the harp of the piano. I was thinking that maybe you could take a picture of it, take the harp out and replace with the picture maybe printed on vinyl. From a distance, I think it would look like the real deal especially when adding lighting to it and you wouldn't break your back lugging it around.

[@THEATREGOD3]

perfect thanks. I saw a pic on interest and acquired an old piano just like this one. haven't started yet because was scared to screw it up.

[@charliecao8586]

Is there a way to keep the keyboard on there? Out of all the videos I watched, you def did it the smartest way when it comes to gutting the piano, but i think keeping the key board would be so much more fantastic.

[@wesleyadeyinka-skold6831]

Epic

[@TheKirkBerkley]

What would you put the approximate weight of this piece at? I love it - have an old upright with a cracked soundboard that we're looking to repurpose into a bar for our home. Love it.

[@patrickmccauley3255]

I love the build! Any thoughts on an epoxy seal on the keys to leave them on, and have a flat surface?

[@loucabrattzie9992]

It will take sooo much epoxy. I thought about myself, I found a free upright piano on craigslist and am looking forward to trying this. I've seen others and thought the same thing. But there's to many crevices to seal, and you would definitely need to strip the brass chord panel out, because if it does work it will be twice as heavy.

[@paulmadryga]

F***ing brilliant.

[@fedor3688]

хорошая работа!

[@alysinmontgomery958]

You are a friggin GENIUS!!!!! OMG!!!! I just started doing small woodworking projects from home. I ran across two FREE PIANOS!! How could I say "No"??? So now j have two pianos (plus the one I play ;) ). One is a newer, smaller upright. The other is a 1920s upright. This video total saved my life! AMAZING!!!!!!! I do have one question: the men that delivered this MASS of a piano told me that the 1920s piano has a chunk of cast iron in it. Do you know about that or how I go about getting it out? Your disassembly went by kinda fast. Lol Thank you!!! :) :) Gotta go watch more of your videos!!!! :)

[@GingerBeker]

your video are awesome

[@christobar]

Just a note, it would've been easier to use a chemical or citrus stripper on that finish. I have a similar old piano and similar old finishes on windows that I am rehabbing. The combination of varnish/shellac/wax just destroys sand paper. If not that, then a scraper would take it off easier than sandpaper as well.

[@BruceAUlrich]

This thing is awesome! Great job! I couldn't tell, is the wine rack on a slight angle?

[@BruceAUlrich]

+Mr. Fix It Gotcha. I thought it looked flat. For long-term wine storage, the shelves should allow the bottles to angle down slightly so the cork doesn't dry out. But I'm sitting here nit-picking and you were in the mix of a very complicated build. Just chatting with ya!

[@BruceAUlrich]

+Mr. Fix It ha ha...completely understand!

[@shinylaiju6496]

[@nnlooser1994]

[@Cabbage_Town]

[@garyjobe6488]

[@collingeiger7321]

that upright piano used to be a player piano.

[@Bfordandafter]

It would be so much lighter is you removed the inner workings of the piano first.. might give more space for other build parts also...

[@kathyb799]

where are you?...please come help me build one of these

[@kathyb799]

:( ....i am going to give this a shot...with the help of my ex husband and my sons and daughters ....wish me luck..im making this for a surprise wedding gift for my daughter and future son in law... here we go....cant beat getting a free piano off of craigs list...and its beautiful... thankyou for getting back to me

[@kathyb799]

[@kathyb799]

[@Kanonenkolbe]

Apothic Red, good choice ;)

[@cc-cu6nl]

Why is the last two KZbin videos omg

[@outriggerwahine]

Amazing, love your commitment to your vision, its sexy.

[@joelbergmann6936]

I hope you don't ever plan on moving it. You still have the heaviest part left in the piano.
