OK, so if you were unlucky enough to have a Chinese junk bar in your possession and had to find some other use for them, besides paperweights or throwing them out, what would you do?
Me personally, I'd use a full-sized one to make a small table to put plants on or use to serve coffee or drinks to guests. I'm actually in the process of doing this with some "Voltex" junk bar that a whacker gave me for free. I'm still kicking myself for accepting it because I always remembered it being an Arjent. When he brought it, at a distance, it looked a bit like an Arjent. As I got closer, it started to look like a Justice, so I was still happy. As I got close, it looked like, well as another eLB member put it: "a toy". It's the only LED bar where you can look directly at the takedowns, if you even want to call them that, at a close range and not even see spots. I have to give the Chinese credit for making a bar that looks like a mashup of a few Whelen and Fed Sig designs and that will look like a different legit bar depending on the distance and angle you see it from.
So, now I'm in the process of turning it into a nice table! Still being designed, but I'm likely just going to put some of my beloved houseplants on it. Maybe use it as a conversation piece. Might put some casters on the legs and use it as a mobile bar/coffee service. It's dim enough where if I lit it up, it'd grab guests' attention that coffee and/or liquor is on the way! It also has 18 cool patterns, perfect for all of my plant-holding or coffee/drink serving needs!
So, besides throwing it out or destroying it, what would you do with a Chinese junk bar?
