Old whiskey barrels can be recycled and turned into amazing furniture for your home or business. In this tutorial I will walk you through the process of building a whiskey barrel coffee table. I had a blast creating the table and it was a pretty simple and quick build.

You have a few different options for sourcing a whiskey barrel. First, I'd recommend contacting local whiskey distilleries or wine vineyards in your area. Second, search Craigslist or put a wanted ad up that you are looking for a whiskey barrel or wine barrel to make furniture out of. Ebay is also a great place to check, as well as Amazon. I've had friends order this barrel off Amazon which is $99 + $100 shipping. It is a full barrel so you would need to cut in half. You'd be able to make two tables with it. Finally, farm and garden stores sometimes will carrie barrels or half barrels used as planters. Check out stores like Murdochs or Kenyon Noble if you have them in your area.

I found a few wine barrels locally in Montana from a super nice guy who was selling them on Craigslist. I feel like I got a great deal because I paid $100 for the full barrel and $25 for the pre-cut half barrels. If you get a full barrel you'll need to cut it in half using a jigsaw or sawzall.

Let the stain dry and then put the metal bands back in place. You will be able to line the holes up on the bands with the old nail holes that are still in the wood.Use 1 inch screws to re-connect the bands. The screws are helpful compared to nails because they will sometimes pull on boards to even them out.

It's time to build the apron around the top of the barrel. The total length of the barrel was 37 inches so I cut two pieces of 14 board to 37 inches. The total width of the barrel at its widest point is 27 inches. I flushed up the 14 with the barrel and then cut two pieces 20 inches long for the sides.

Cut four 18 boards for the table top. My whiskey barrel was 37 inches so I cut these boards to 38 inches. The extra inch makes a half inch lip on each side so you can easily open or close the chest. Next, use a Kreg Jig to drill pocket holes in the boards. Set the Kreg Jig to the 3/4 inch stock setting and space the pocket holes about 6-8 inches apart from each other. Then connect the boards using 1 1/4 inch Kreg Jig screws.

Meet Looi - an oval, burgundy coffee table made of oak veneer and steel. It's a minimal living room furniture with a considerably large top of 115 x 50 cm and rounded edges, which make it a unique and practical interior add-on. Modern design, perfect for both spacious and small interiors.

This product is preassembled which means that all the pieces are already ready to use. Final assembly is simply connecting these pieces together using special connectors placed in all the components. This process is easy and does not require any special tools.

Most likely we do not own stock of this product - it is usually made to order. Regular delivery time for sofas and armchairs is 6-8 weeks. All products from one order are being shipped together unless otherwise stated.

It makes sens as an idea - would be handy when friends are over a many bottle evening. I agree that it looks a little heavy too (literally & sculpturaly). Rendering shows your form well. You might want to illustrate a wine bottle in there

If your going for more mainstream furniture sales, you might be very close - I could picture people buying something like this. For a real breakout design though, I think you should push it a lot further and really work on making the overall form or the details more unique. Maybe the pattern in the wine-holder area could be explored more

Interesting idea, I can imagine it filled with pinot noir and drinking bottle after bottle while chilling out around the table. I also agree looks very chunky. Get rid of the legs and the box structure and just have the wafer rack design with a piece of glass over the top as the table surface.

This reads as a block. Have the top extend beyond the rack. Scallop the rack, the face does not need to be in the same plain. The legs also need not be in the same plain as the top and rack. Look at the top/legs/rack as different elements.

It reminds me of a design I did a long time ago where bottles of liquer were loaded at an angle under the table with their own tappers. You can drink your way into a stuper without leaving the couch! This has a much broader appeal.

This thing would be a bitch to make. The main concern is the bottle part. the rounds that you have in the slots would make it damn near impossible to make (decently anyway). However, it does have a certain appeal. I can also see this in a big box place. Cant you post a dimensional? Why did you go with the sizes that you did? What are you hoping for cost? Materials?

In the model shown the dimensions are 38" x 18" x 18" but I will have to change that so it is either 1 or 2 bottles deep. It did the sizing pretty quick the first time, when I fix it I will have to look at what the average size of most coffee tables are.

How are you planning on making it? I agree, stacked up bent ply would be a different way of doing it. This kind of product is pretty common, and usually done with slots cut into a flat shelf, or square dividers. A place to put glasses and/or a bottle opener would be handy too.

RECYCLED: The wine barrel oak wood gives us the outside of a real wine barrel proudly showing its red wine stains. With a glass top, one can see the inside of the barrel showing the red wine-soaked wood. The fact that this table base is made from retired wine barrels adds a special touch for those who are sensitive to ecology and recycling.

UNIQUE: The wine barrel is made of 1 solid white oak. The ends of the barrel are cut off displaying the center only. All staves are pre-screwed to the hoops prior to cutting. This is a raw, unsanded wine barrel.

Please note that although the same care and quality is put into all of our products, there will be natural variation due to the wood selection (either French or American white oak), wood figure, winery or cooperage markings, wine stains from the inside of the barrel, and other factors. No two pieces will be identical and each has its own story to tell!

I found a half barrel the local pub was throwing out. It was almost ready to fall to pieces as two of the bands had fallen off and the top one was also ready to fall off. It would be very difficult to reassemble, so I carefully put the bands back on, and took it home. I was not sure what to make until I saw the nice graphics on the top, so I sanded the top back and put furniture oil on it. It looked good so I decided to keep the graphic which would mean keeping the top intact. My first thought was a coffee table, but as the project progressed, the missus said she liked the height of the table and would like it on the deck next to her chair.

I removed the top two bands with a hammer and a block of wood and then cleaned with thinners. I hung them from the roof with wire and spray painted them matte black. I also painted the heads of the coach bolts.

I used four different grit sand papers starting with 40, then 80, 120 and 240. I only sanded the top and the top of the sides and the legs. You could probably do this step last, but I put a coat of my favorite furniture oil on, so it would be under the bands, helping protect the timber from spills and moisture. Just use a rag to rub the oil on.

Now that the table has been bolted together, the bottom band can be removed and the legs sanded and finished off. The missus likes the height of the table, but it could be cut down for a coffee table.

Country wines come in all different styles and varieties, but berry wines are perennial favorites. Summertime brings with it a bevy of fresh, ripe berry options to craft some fine berry wines. Two berry wine experts share some winemaking advice.

I think the very nature of coffee table books encourage them to be over the top. What else do we want, lounging around in the living room, than to be transported to someplace wonderful? A good coffee table book is better than TV in my opinion, if only because you want to experience it multiple times, which is more than I can say for pretty much any given TV show episode.

Living With Wine, by Samantha Nestor with text by Alice Feiring and Photographs by Andrew French came out last year in time for the holiday gift-giving season, and offers an intimate view into roughly thirty temples built to honor that luxury of luxuries: the wine collection.

My eyes widened with delight at the incredible crypt-like staircase that leads to the cellar of the hotel Don Alfonso south of Naples, Italy; I marveled at the quarry-hewn caves of Chateau Ausone in Bordeaux; and I delighted at a view of the vaults of dusty bottles in the cellars of Massandra in the Ukraine and Chateau Ksara in Lebanon that I have imagined while appreciatively sipping their progeny.

The size that you buy depends on how big you want the table to be. I considered having the glass be the same diameter as the barrel to have it sit in the barrel rather than on top of it, but in the end I decided that a bigger table sounded better to me.
