[@kennethgalland6829]

Great job, I like that! FYI Urban myth on how the term a "shot" of whiskey gets its name: In the 19th century American west. A single drink of whisky in a small 1oz glass cost 12cents and so did the average cost of a single bullet. So if a cowboy was short of cash he could trade a "shot" from his cartridge belt for a drink of whiskey.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Kenneth!! That's awesome, I didn't know that.

Hi Carl - little tip for the "iron bands" - let the wood rotate and press a copper wire onto the wood - very easy and very precise!

[@CarlJacobson]

Thanks for the tip :)

[@jameswallace7351]

Cool piece really liked the music very nice

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you very much James!!

[@MrErViLi]

Great vid and project! I've made something similar before. I used bamboo skewers to burn the bands in. The skewers will deform around the glass and when the friction builds up it will begin to burn just like a wire friction burner will. But I did the burning before hollowing. It gives a really nice even line, but it does cut into the wood a bit. I had to give it a guide line with the tip of a skew to keep it on the rounded part of the cup. I've even used metal coat hangers before.

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you Eric! That sounds really cool!

I love this. Perhaps a small lid for when it's just being used as a stopper? It reduces the chances of contaminants and adds to the aesthetics. I have to make one for my rum bottles now that I've seen this. Thanks Carl.

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

Pretty cool Carl, couple questions - Couldn't you have just ran the lathe at a real slow speed when burning the rings? Would be like marking lines, but with the burner. What was the chuck you used to hold it in the lathe?

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you! The wood burners don't stay consistently hot, so you have to do it slow by hand. Here's a link to the mandrel I used to hold it, nilesbottlestoppers.com/product-category/mandrels-accessories/

[@stevengalorath7518]

That’s really cool! Is there any concern using oak for something like this since it’s so porous?

[@CarlJacobson]

Someone suggested using white Oak, it's not as porous and it's what they make the Whiskey barrels out of. I'm sure a denser wood would be a better choice for a project like this.

[@RaphaelTheSirion]

Love this mate! 👍🏻 Would that finish be suitable to have whisky in it for prolonged period of time or would you recommend something else? Cheers .

[@CarlJacobson]

Thank you!! I think the only thing that would hold up for a long period of time would be resin. Have a good one :)

[@glollis777]

Hey Robert, Gary from Verdigris, Ok. I noticed the threaded piece that you glued inside the bottom of the barrel, it screwed onto a set up you put on your lathe to hold it while turning. Is that something special that you can buy? I truly enjoy your work.
