ISU Mancaves

Update to the mancave thread, the wife bought me a great shop stool for the b'day. She had it made to resemble the 76-78 helmets, my favorite. For those anatomic purists among us, yes the ISU stickers are rotated to the front instead of side as on a helmet. God love her, I give her an A for the effort though!

Cool idea! I actually found a set of those for $20 that have red seats...could do the same with a different helmet! Cool stuff!
 
Very nice.

What is behind the black curtains? The toilette?

They are blackout curtains for an egress window...Got some new stuff that's not pictured, Cato jersey, Wimberly throwback jersey, Iowa State goal setter coffee table, and a game ball.

I started my cave a few years ago. I have some signed stuff and a few unique items... I also scored a C4 lot sign and gave the other to a tailgate friend...I plan to keep adding year to year....

Very nicely done! I would love to have a very similar space someday. Really like the style of bar you have....where did you get it or is it a custom job...I see beer on tap, too? Awesome!
 
I built the bar with my sons over a Christmas break. My neighbor has a custom cabinet shop so we normally take the time to build something new each year.... one year we built/rebuilt an entire horse drawn sleigh.

Start to finish, 3.5 days and installed it the morning of the Iowa State Bowl game in New York. Solid Oak
 
LOL not getting rid of that one... That was my first prop from my first plane.....
 
The newest basement finish thread got me thinking - I never uploaded photos of ours. Staged to sell, so not as much stuff on the wall. Gonna miss it a ton, but hopefully another Cyclone fan will love it as much as we have!
