Go Bar Deck Plans

Drill a 1 2 diameter hole in each corner 1 from each edge.

Go bar deck plans.

There are no critical dimensions involved in the construction of the go bar deck but if you want to use commercially available dished work boards 2 in diameter and commercially available go bars 2 long it is best to keep all dimensions at 2. Or you can make the go bars out of wood. I am building a go bar deck and have 3 4 inch baltic birch 24x24. Length is more critical when using wood than when using fiberglass and having a few different lengths for different operations is a good idea.

I am wondering if the 3 4 baltic birch plywood on the bottom and the top is think enough. Go bars for go bar deck. Stack and glue two of the pieces together and stack and glue the other four together the extra thickness is required to give the go bar deck base sufficient stiffness. The upper lower decks are 3 4 inch baltic ply reinforced with 1 by 2 red oak braces in an x pattern across the center of the decks on the outside.

No run out no grain figure and even so i broke a couple of them by bending them too far. Making a go bar deck building a guitar poses many challenges and most of the problems encountered have more than one solution. The holes for the corner rods go through both the the deck and the oak. A gobar clamping deck is a nifty system for clamping.

My next step is gluing the braces to the top and back of the guitar but how to clamp them properly is one of those challenges. The go bar deck will seat on my workbench when i am using it. With the addition of some treated wood to match your deck you can easily add a bar that looks like it was built in with the original deck. By bending fiberglass or wood rods between the upper and lower decks it is easy to put pressure just about anywhere you need it.

Go bar deck assembly from a sheet of 3 4 plywood cut six pieces each 2 feet x 2 feet. If you have a deck then you already have the beginnings of a perfect outdoor bar. It is 1 3 8 inch mahogany. I split mine from a straight grained scrap hickory board.

This is a great way to add some extra seating without adding a large bulky table.
