How to Make a Whiskey Cigar Tray with a Barrel Stave

[@markyoungman7267]

I know this video is a year old, but I really enjoyed this. You’re a good teacher.

good looking work mate. I cant be sure from the angle of the camera, but the cut looks as if you used the grinding disc to cut with. cleanup will be a shit load easier if you use a cutting disc. I have been using a wire brush attachment on my cordless angle grinder to clean off the burnt side and it works great giving a slightly burnished look to the charcoal.

Just a tip. A pressure washer works fantastic for removing the char and getting the grit and dirt off while still leaving all of the beautiful patina.

What is the metal plate for?

[@thatshowwedoit6201]

The metal band is actually the metal band from the whiskey barrel. I cut it and put it on there for decoration. However, I am also able to use my laser to add names or a personalized inscription on it. Works great.

Who makes the laser light on your drill press

[@thatshowwedoit6201]

it comes with the Wen Drill Press. It is built in.

What’s the thickness on the barrel stave?

[@thatshowwedoit6201]

I haven't really paid attention to the thickens of the stave when making these. I look at how wide they are. But when checking they ranged from 1/2" to 1" thick.

When everyone can make it...everyone will...and there will be no value left in you making it.

[@thatshowwedoit6201]

That's ok. I don't mind teaching others what I have learned. If I'm the only one who knows, then it dies with me. This way, hopefully what I know can help others and will live on long after I am gone.

Not 'everyone' will make it. Not everyone has the tools or inclination. Some people like to see it made & then buy it. 😊
