Awesome job, brotha. Currently, I’m working on restoring my first of four barrels for the back yard. I’m following the steps from a barrel restoration shop, but I love how you present your steps… same steps Im following but there are details you offer that are more helpful. Great job!
Hey @Tmonterra I simply placed the stand where I wanted the barrel to sit, titled the barrel over with the lower part of the umbrella inside the barrel. Tipped the barrel back upright at the same time ensuring the the umbrella post and the stand all aligned. The hole I cut underneath was substantially bugger than the top to allow me to reach under and tighten the nut.
Love the natural color you revealed. I would of been cursing those pain in the neck screws! Great use for recycling these. Also liked the fact that you left the original Makers Mark. It's such a skilled art making those barrels. Thx for the 🎥
@@quiltyqq I certainly did, Scott. Your vision of what you can achieve and the potential pitfalls if you don’t take the necessary precautions, is very useful. Explaining each step you take, makes for a great presentation. Enjoying the process and I’m sure your subscription numbers will continue to grow 😀😀😀
@@quiltyqq It’s guys like yourself and Sean, who go to the trouble of putting out quality presentations, for us to watch and enjoy, makes it all worthwhile, Scott. When you see the world around you continuing to move from one catastrophe to another, you guys are a very welcome, pleasurable experience. Carry on what you do and we are always here waiting 👍👍👍
Loved the video mate. Probably a silly question. But initially when cleaning the inside of the barrel. What’s the simplest and most effective way to do that? My Barrel had wine it in less than a week ago.
@@quiltyqq so…I’m getting a wine barrel, thinking of an idea, and watching you work hits all the safety points and not blowing up the barrel 🧐. It’s a crazy idea, but, going to try and make rustic pirate chest. This might take me way longer than you 🤔. Not to mention a butt ton of sanding discs 🤣.
My method for stripping the barrel bands off Whiskey and Wine barrels: Find the narrowist (or, otherwise, the least valuable stave in the barrel); Use a cut-off wheel in your angle grinder and cut entirely through the steel barrel band. Peel the band off the barrel (You will probably have to coax it off using a small pry-bar where it is nailed. The t-headed nails come right out of the barrel when the band is peeled off. In my experience, the t-headed nails have been so tight in the barrel band that they did not separate from the band. I also have a tight rope-wrap around the barrel, preventing it from collapsing before I was ready. I have not seen screws used to hold the barrel bands on in the barrels I've found in my neck of the woods. (Colorado)
Just came across this. Wondering why you made the bottom hole a lot bigger? Was there a base the umbrella pole went into or something? Why not make the hole same size as the top?
Thats Correct! we work with 230lt and 300lt they are often called Barrique and Hogshead, this ones a Hogshead, so the larger version. There's a larger one again, which is 500lt called a Puncheon
I’m working on a few for my wedding decorations myself, I haven’t got to putting the bands back on and I was wondering how you came up with the spacing of your screws, I’ve been thinking of a few ways but wanted some input.
We do quarters, definitely don't do every stave as they are all different and your screws spacing will look terrible. Or just start with one and measure every next one exactly the same. 😀
Yeah so the larger hole is for the umbrella stand base which has a little adjuster nut that tightens on to the umbrella post. The bigger hole allows you to be able to tighten and reach when the barrels there.
Sanding can be the worst on these projects, I find sandblasting the barrel saved a whole lot of time if you have access to one. Great job though keep up the fantastic work
@@quiltyqq we have a local company that rents there big compressors out to the public right on their lot, they also rent all the protective gear. It takes me about 45 min to blast 5-6 barrels and the cost is about $75. It’s a huge cost savings on the labour.
Thanks for the video. Can you drill out a hole in the top or bottom without it falling in? I would like to put a water tank rain water filter in the top as I’m going to use to collect water for a chicken coup. Just worried it will fall apart?! 🫣
Love this vid so much! What a creative fella you are. Some might even say you are occasionally funny 😉🙌
OCCASIONALLY FUNNY.... I AM RAY OF F@$KING SUNSHINE 😍
@@quiltyqq Funshine?? 🎉🌞🌈
This is so cool! these are the kinda things you see and never realise how they are done or how much work really goes into them! love it!
I thought when I started this project a day would be plenty of time.... 3 days later, but saying that it's mainly the camera work.
The creativity is wow I have seen the umbrella stands before and now I see how they are made thank you
Thanks for your kind words. I hope people get out and try this and have a bit of fun with it.

Thanks mate good luck to your restoration. If you have any questions ask away 😀
Would've loved to see how you secured the umbrella into its stand beneath the barrel. Looks great!

Thanks for your lovely words, Colleen. I agree it's like black smithing, which is quite rare art these days. I'm glad you like the video 😀
Beautiful work and thank you for explaining the steps so well. I'm curious if it would be better to apply the poly before putting the rings back on?
You could, but they wouldn't slide back into place easily and possibly have an area thats not as stained or weathered, making the barrel look average.
That was great, Scott. Sorry I missed the Premier. Quality. Catch you again and best wishes 🌟🌟🌟
Thas fine. I'll just hold it against you forever.... 😀 I hope you liked it

Great video! Really keen to see how you mounted the umbrella stand underneath the barrel. Any tips here?
Great project and it looks fantastic! Well done!
Thank you, Aimee. I appreciate your kind words ❤️
I need one of these
Me and you will make one next time I am down
Im looking at making one of these. Can you please show what umbrella stand you use so i know what to get. Thanks

Love the video can't wait to try this.
Thanks Mah, good luck 👍

Pressure was it first mate, easiest and safest way to clean it thoroughly. Then let it sit in sun.
Quilty great job 👍👏! That is beautiful oak by the way. Dig the way you move the barrel around, you have it down pretty good.
Haha, thanks Ron. My BACK agrees with you.

@Ron Sorrentino that sounds awesome, mate. I look forward to some progress pictures :)

Absolutely amazing work mate, ill give it a try next time. 👍
Just came across this. Wondering why you made the bottom hole a lot bigger? Was there a base the umbrella pole went into or something? Why not make the hole same size as the top?
Yeah, see previous replies. A large umbrella base was used to secure umbrella under the barrel.
Looks great.. what size barrel is that? I hear there's different sizes.
Thats Correct! we work with 230lt and 300lt they are often called Barrique and Hogshead, this ones a Hogshead, so the larger version. There's a larger one again, which is 500lt called a Puncheon

Top result, looks great
Cheers, mate. I'm glad you like it 👍
I saw you put a larger hole in bottom for umbrella stand. Do you put an actual stand in ground and put the barrel above it?
Yeah so the larger hole is for the umbrella stand base which has a little adjuster nut that tightens on to the umbrella post. The bigger hole allows you to be able to tighten and reach when the barrels there.
Did you remove the bottom of the barrel and slide the barrel over an umbrella stand?
Yeah mate just a larger hole underneath
0.01 seconds - GOOEST BOI!
HE IS!!!
Loving it.👍👍👍
Thanks, Lim. I always appreciate your time 😀
Nice looks good
Thanks, Toni. I really appreciate it 🙏😌
Thanks for showing me how to get infuriated?
Why did you cut a large hole in the bottom of the barrel and a smaller 1 inch hole at the top of the barrel?
Hey Carl, the larger hole at the bottom is for the umbrella stand. The hole at the top is for the umbrella post :)
So the barrel sits on top of the umbrella stand?
Hey there
Hey Ursula
Sanding can be the worst on these projects, I find sandblasting the barrel saved a whole lot of time if you have access to one. Great job though keep up the fantastic work
@@DIYBuilt I wish I had access to a Sand Blaster 😀

Hard to say Bazza

Yeah, you absolutely can. The rings keep a barrel together.
