Love it Stu. You are so much easier to relate to with the ups and downs of dealing with real materials that never behave themselves!
Painting with hammerite I really recommend to use the roller - the surface looks much better after painting when compared to painting with the brush. And I would definitely screw the top from below to avoid screws being visible.
Thanks for showing the mistakes and when things go wrong. My DIY is always causing me grief....so it's good to know even the experts have problems 😁
I would def plug the screw holes in the top
Tip: get a spiral flush trim bit for your router. It makes a HUGE difference in capability of removing material. The bearing should be at the shaft, so you can use it as a flush trim bit and without the bearing engaging. Cheers!
Yet another great video. I love the fact that you always admit to any mistakes you make which helps others avoid. Keep up the good work.
A well deserved glass of wine there Stuart, and as always I enjoyed the humorous outro !
The result looked great and very practical, I've had a few of these over the years and although nice old and weather they do inevitable deteriorate ! You struck a good balance between renovation and keeping the aged appearance I thought !
Thanks also for including the parts that went less well it helps to keep it real, I was thinking exactly what you said - "all I've done is make it wet after keeping it dry !"
More top DIY content, Cheers Stuart ! 🍷
Nice job, pity about he screws through the table top though. Just a question, is there a reason why didn't you stain before putting the hoops back on?
echo what others have written - like seeing the problems, errors and mishaps, and - more importantly - how you get round them. Any woodworker who professes to not making mistakes is full of it and trying to fool you or themselves. A great woodworker gets over it. Cheers!
The staining on the barrel came out really nice. Great work!
I love it. But if it was me I would not have screwed the new table top down leaving screws exposed etc. why didn’t you fix from underneath ?
@18:49 "Once again things didn't go as planned" - is my middle name. Good job Stu
A well done nice work with a place under its a great place for Your favorite snacks 😎
Lovely old job
Glad I found your channel as I have a whiskey barrel from my hometown distillery that needs to be finished. Thank you!
You're right Stuart, Norm Abram never had those problems in his NY Workshop. I was always envious of his stockpile of off cuts, sheet material & boards.
This is a great little project & one I might even have a go at myself as I'm starting to run out of DIY jobs to do around the house & garden.
Keep 'em coming Stuart.
Very nice project. I remember my grandfather back in the 1970's splitting oak barrels vertically and making a bar out of it. It had all kinds of shelves for glasses and bottles. I think it was lined with red velvet....
This looks amazing and the parasol feature is great!
Fabulous Stuart, hope you enjoy for many years to come. Much love from South Africa
Love that you showed all the stuff that went wrong with this one along the way 👍
That was a cool idea for top table
Great looking project Stuart, love it.
Love your ideas and well presented explanatory vids.
Keep them coming!👏👏👏
Final look is great, nice refurb
I have 2 screwdrivers, a hammer and zero skills so no idea why I watch, but love every episode!
Excelent work ! thanks for sharing
Great vid, I did up my own barrel recently. I used a powerful hot power washer on it. One I use for the farm sheds and it brought it up perfectly. Just needed a light sand. I'll try the table top now. If only to save the top of the barrel from rain damage.
Love it Stuart - billy no mates at the end 😂
Fantastic video, thanks Stuart, I love the idea of doing that 😊
Super excited when a saw that Stuart is back on wood project ❤🎉🙏🏼 cheers as you say I UK 🍻
Really nice job 👍🏼
Looks lovely that,great idea
That was an amazing project
Wow Stuart that was a lot of work! But a great result as always. Love the fact you include the issues encountered, it shows us diyers learn on every project 👍😃
Well Done! that looks amazing.
Fantastic mate
Great content, thanks for sharing
Quality video as usual. Love it love it love it.
Cleaning up dirty wood works much better if you use a different lance than the one you used. I use a Kärcher Dirt Blaster lance to clean up my teak garden furniture before oiling every few years and it comes up perfectly. Great channel.
Another great project.
Hi Stuart another great project we’re you utilising your existing tools . I must admit I do use my Dewalt table saw a lot , but you seem to manage quite well with out one . And any thing that can increase the pleasure of a glass of wine , is definitely a bonus . Kind regards as always 😀👍👍👍
Cheers Stuart great job 🍷
That is such a cool project. I might do one myself keep up the good work, love that you support a great team... Arsenal 😂🎉
Love it! Really nice 👍
Really enjoyed this one Stuart!!! There’s something that really captures my imagination with oak barrels. I recently used Oxalic Acid crystals made into a solution with water to remove weathering from my shed and fence. I have heard it works particularly well on oak. It would definitely save all the sanding if it worked with these barrels.
Nice one Stu and i use the same ringtone 😊
Well, that came out really well and looks great Stuart. I do like your idea for using your router as a jointer (I'll be looking forward to next week's video). Like you, I have a few sash clamps and I'm always curious as to why I hardly ever see them on makers' channels - it seems that they prefer parallel clamps. Thanks for the upload.
Great video !!! thanks
awesome!
Inspiring
Barrel came out really well just the right level of shabby chic. Think you may need to put some sand or similar in it to prevent it blowing over in a wind.
I'm about to do something similar although I'm going to raise it up from underneath with blocks and castors and an extended diameter top and bottle top and resin centre
Loving your work, so helpful - top tips and great home improvement ideas well executed.
Not sure if you’re collecting future project ideas, but slate window sills (inside and out)? Considering this upgrade, but slightly daunted.
Thanks again 🍷😎
looks good, however why all the effort over the finish and then use 3 screws to face fix the top?
Smart. 🤙
Another great video! Any plans for a wheelie bin shed?
In the future, you can save a heck of a lot of time by spraying a hypochlorite solution on the wood and rinsing it off. It'll remove most if not all of the staining.
Looks great! FYI, whisky barrels are almost all American oak anyway, as most used for Scotch whisky are used Bourbon barrels, so using American oak for the top was authentic AND thrifty.
Love the colour, what stain did you use please?
Hi Stuart great build that barrel looks brilliant now it's refurbished and the extra top. How hard would it be to make bar stools using the same method of double laminating to make the seat ? Looking forward to next weeks video.
Goooooood 😄
Ah hammerite, any old iron, any old iron, any any any old iron😊
great video, totally inspired to make a couple of those. it might be nice to have a drink with your wife after a job instead of a mate, lol
Nice work, I would try to make those screws on the table top look nicer than that though
I was thinking the same thing. Simplest would probably be to rebate them and cut some wooden plugs, though that would need a drill press.
what product is this oil based dark oak stain? thanks
Hidden screws by taking some dowels out of the underside of the top and then tapping back in?
Beautiful work but my OCD is shouting "hide those screws on the top!!!"
Well, that "friend' missed out on a nice glass of wine, Stuart!
That stained oak looks awesome! Would a wider table top be possible to, so you could make it into an outdoor dining table? Or would the base become a bit tippy then?
What oil did you use on the wood? It's given a really nice finish
and the reason you didn't stain the whole barrel before putting the hoops back, is??
Not even watched it yet but we all know it'll be brilliant! Added to watch later. Thanks. 😊
Malbec is a good choice👍🏼🍷
I'll gladly come join you for drinks Stu. Where you again?
Nice video, however, at the risk of sounding like a troll, I was surprised that you glued the two layers of the top cross grain. Because wood expands/contracts across the grain, this is almost always a bad idea, especially for an outdoor piece that is exposed to significant swings to temperature/humidity. The two layers are going to expand and contract at 90 degrees from each other and will eventually crack.
Stuart, I watched Bradshaw Joinery used polyurethane glue for oak which allows for a much quicker drying time. Of course I know you are aware of this glue but is there a reason you preferred "white glue" in this case? Thanks. Nice job by the way!
Same age as me
Q. FOR ADDITIONAL RIGIDITY, ESPECIALLY TO STOP LATERAL MOVEMENT OF THE WOOD, WHY DIDN'T YOU BISCUIT JOINT THEM AS WELL? 🤷🏽♂️
Great Coopering skills!
Great vid as usual but I couldn't believe that after all that effort you spoiled the look with 3 ugly screw heads when you could have secured it from underneath and kept the top looking lovely.
i can remember getting a small contract job to remove loads of those things from under a stately home near nottingham , had to get them up some small tight stone staircase , total nightmare wish i never took the job , when you behind one of those going up with no where to move out the way , you dont let go ha ha ha , and the scratches on the arms were horrid from the rusty bands
Sounds grim
@@smashyrashy horrid couple of days if im honest , my own fault of course for taking the job, but at the time i got a lot of work from the guy , thinking back now as i have aged they were going to be cut in half for sale at garden centers , i should have cut them in half in the cellar and maybe get paid for doing that work too
Ypu immediately regretted sanding that, didn't you 😂
Well... everything listed is "out of stock" and unknown when/if ever available again. This was for USA shipping, prices in British Pounds.
Money ???? unimportant Stu. Really 😂😂😂
Nice colinfeez affects
