Happy DIY Friday! This week, family members Matt Iseman and Mark Steins stopped by Hallmark Channel’s hit daytime talk show Home & Family to demonstrate how to make a Star Wars bar! Check out the instructions below.

Materials:

  • 1 plywood tabletop 1 1/2 foot wide by 6 feet long (store bought or made)

  • 3 – 2’x4′ x 3/4″plywood panels

  • 2- 2′” wood dowels cut to 41″ long

  • 2 – 4″ PVC pipe cut to 16″ long

  • Wood glue

  • Hammer and finish nails or nail gun

  • 6 right angle brackets

  • Paint of choice

Directions for Body Creation (Measurements based on average bar height of 42’’):

  • Cut two 6″ strips off of one 2 x 4 panel. Leaving one 12″ panel and two 6 inch ones. (see build plan)

  • Cut all pieces based on and assemble with glue and nails.

    • Directions for Wings:

  • The wings are made from one 2’ x 4′ panel, Measure 15″ from top of one side and 15″ from bottom of one side.

  • Intersect the points and cut along that line.

  • At ends of each wing piece glue and attach 41″ x 2″ dowels vertically to ends. (similar to X-wing guns) these will also be bar top supports.

  • Attach wings to main body.

  • Using right angle “L” brackets, attach wings to side of main body.

  • Mount top to base,

  • Paint all with “Star Wars” feel.
