It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better kzitem.infoUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.

Hey Kevin, thanks to your video, and previous math help for the circle shelf, I have completed my barrel conversion. I am very happy with how it turned out, but the door….that damn door just would not retain its shape. I tried to use a tie strap across the center of the door to pull it in tighter but it didn’t help. Any ideas? I can always take the door off and try something else. Thanks!
@kevinsgarage

the door is definitely the hardest part. try using 2-4 straps. one on top, one on bottom. secure the ends of the straps first, leaving about 1/4 inch of space between the strap and stave at the middle, then use 2 or 3 screws evenly spaced apart and slowly tighten them until the door as its desired shape. you could also use 2 more straps in an X pattern and the same method as above if you have warping issues

Question, if you are not cutting it in half, what is the best way to measure/cut the shelf if you want it to be a full circle?
@kevinsgarage
2 жыл бұрын
I think for that there are 2 ways- 1) get a small stick of scrap wood, and cut it down to size until it fits while spinning it in the barrel 180 degrees (like a helicopter). once it doesnt rub the edges, you know what size. 2) Math- measure the circumference of the barrel at shelf height, divide by pi (3.14) to get the outer diameter (OD), measure the thickness of a stave, multiply it by 2, and subtract from the OD and you get the inner diameter. take off 1/4 inch for error and you should have the size circle you need for the shelf. PS- happy Pi day!

If you make a whole barrel cabinet, you dont need to put the screws in every stave (wood piece), you would only want to have them in the bands at the border of the door. Unfortunately the screws are required to hold it all together, otherwise it would just fall apart.

Great video, Kevin. I've had a whiskey barrel for a few years waiting for me to make a cabinet. Plan to put a glass top on as well. My only issue is the wood staves have dried quite a bit, so some have actually pulled back from the hoops. I'm looking at using button head cap screws (with inside nuts) to pull them together, but that could take forever on the whole barrel. Any other thoughts? Thanks!

Hello from Scotland... I've done exactly what you're describing, but it was for cosmetic reasons only rather than to pull the barrel back as it was. It does look great in the end (as close to the original rivets as possible) but it's a long and tedious job. If I remember right, I drilled straight through the band into each stave using a M6 bit. Looking from inside the barrel, there would then be a visible hole that would be used as the centre for the next step, which was to take 12mm spade bit - just enough to fit a small socket holding the nut so that when you send the bolt in from the outside, you can get it as tight as possible.... Repeat x100 and your barrel will outlive the planet lol. Feel free to send me a private message for a couple of photos 👍
