Needs an ashtray and a round hole to hold your bar and a square hole for your pics.
Also one of those bicycle squeeze horns on one of the legs to let he guys know when break time is over

Excellent use of wasted deck space. Maybe pull out one of the cocktail glasses for ash tray spot....still be a two-fisted drinker :!: ....or maybe that's what the Lone Star can is for.

This is probably one reason there are still so many old MSAs still in use! And the reason double necks became so popular. Wonder what the case looks like?

All the well-stocked steel bar needs is one of these:

Wow, my kinda steel ... if, like John Booth said, it had an ash tray, cigarette lighter, bar holder, picks holder, accessories cubby hole, etc. (don't know about the bicycle horn, though).

Of course, for steelers in Colorado who like organic music, a bong holder would be nice, too. :mrgreen:

That definitely beats my steel accessories leg tray for sure ...

Maybe the Lone Star can is one in disguise....

That's a smooth leg tray, Jim.

Good one on the Lone Star can, Charlie. :lol:

Thanks on the leg tray ... my nephew made me that so I could have all my bars handy. I showed him the pic of the "bar steel" and now he's got an idea to make me a new leg tray with drink holders and all. LOL

I gather he fitted it so that with the leg slant the tray stays at the proper height? Clever nephew.

Yep. We're gonna do a new one for my Emmons, too. But, now he saw that "bar steel" pic and he's thinking of doing one that spans across the two front legs. LOL
