Whiskey Barrel Coffee Table

[@kevintait5564]

I found the easiest way to cut barrels in half is an angle grinder and cutting wheel. Leave the screws in and cut the band.

Thanks Kevin, I will give the angle grinder a try next time!

It's always good to listen to your wife. It's beautiful. Do you have plans for the other half?

[@chriskousoulas1149]

No plans for the other half but I am taking requests!!

It amazes me how many people sand or use a wire wheel on the inside of a barrel, it makes a huge mess. Take a stiff puddy knife and scrape across each stave then vacuum it up. Then run a wire brush the length of it holding a vacuum nozzle next to it, no mess

[@chriskousoulas1149]

I learned my lesson after the first time, I used a stiff plastic bristle brush to remove the loose pieces and it worked just fine. Live and learn!

Should Always have a rachet strap around barrel to keep it from flying open..... lol

[@chriskousoulas1149]

Good idea, I will do that in the future, I didn't expect it to have so much pressure, lesson learned!!

[@DavesCoolCustomBikes]

? Do you think you could’ve removed the char with pressure washer rather than sanding

[@chriskousoulas1149]

I built another table with the second 1/2 of the barrel and I used the same brush I used on the outside. It worked better then sanding and much less mess. Pressure washer could work but the brush did a great job without getting it wet. Thanks for the suggestion!!

How do you keep from cutting the crap out of yourself from the metal bands in the front of the table?

[@chriskousoulas1149]

I hit them with a sanding block and took the sharp edges off

[@GoldenHubby]

Do you me asking where you got the soft close hinges?

[@chriskousoulas1149]
