Home Tiki Bar
I came across something really cool today, a website selling plans on 'How to build your own Tiki bar'.

'Tiki' refers to a 20th century theme used in Polynesian restaurants and clubs, originally in the United States and later, around the world. (It appears the name Tiki comes from the 'first man' in Maori mythology).
A Tiki Bar is a Polynesian style tropical bar usually made from cedar wood or bamboo which conjures up mental images of deep blue sea, hula dancers and exotic tropical cocktails.

Well, the good news is, you can now have your very own Tiki Bar in your back yard, bringing that tropical island feel to your barbeques, get-togethers and family parties. The Tiki bar plans are priced at under $20, which is quite reasonable when you consider a home bar of this quality would cost way more than $1000- of course the materials will not be free, but Kevin Dunn, the author of the plans also provides an extensive list of stockists who provide the best deals on materials. He also provides email access- he will advise you on personalising your Tiki bar should you wish to do so, and amazingly offers phone support on a toll-free number.
Not bad for under $20! For more information on building your own home Tiki Bar, see Kevin's website.

Really really nice, the over $1000-$2000 price tag of a tiki bar has always held me back to get some holiday feeling next to my bbq but this is brilliant. A project well worth pursuing. Thank you Chris
