I built a bar on the weekend and am going to need to make/buy a custom
countertop for behind it.

It is L shaped and the sink side will be only 18 inches wide (to the
wall). I heard a total custom top would be pretty expensive.

I'm thinking of gluing some arborite to a custom wood base.

Do you have a link to a "how to" thread for this?

I need to know how thick the base ply should be and some cutting,
gluing, trimming instructions.

Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at the tech support link for the manufacturer of that very
product
http://www.arborite.com/en/technical.asp

Check the substrates and adhesives link.

Personally I think a marble/granite etc. tile counter using 18"x18" tiles
would be nicer than a laminate.

for more how to try yahoogling "installing plastic laminate" or buy a
kitchen remodeling book at a store.
