Project ideas for wine barrels

Wine Barrels.jpg
Bought a couple of Wine Barrels today. I think I will make an outdoor Bar table with one and maybe cut the other one in half for Planters.
Anybody have any ideas?

Hope you've recovered from your hard drive failure @Wayne.

 

Did you decide what you're doing with those barrels as yet?

I have my PC running again, I have been able to recover a lot of photos but still working on recovering pdf and work files.
I put the wine barrel tasks on the back burner for a bit whilst i work on other projects at the moment, but definitely a bar from one of them.

Re: Wine Barrels

Hi @Wayne,

 

Hope all is well. This discussion has been really popular, so obviously there are a lot of community members out there also interested in repurposing wine barrels. 

 

Have you made any progress on the bar?

Re: Wine Barrels

I never made a start on the Wine Barrel project and in fact sold the two barrels that I had to free up some space.
My Nephew works in the Wine industry and I can buy barrels direct at anytime in the future.
The Bar project is still on the to do list but other things have taken priority just at the moment.

Re: Wine Barrels

I love using wine barrels. I use them as is (like a tall table), to support a length of wood to create a temporary bar, have made planters out of them when cut in half and also use as esky.

 

Also made a dog house out of one for my mother-in-law which turned out pretty sweet.

Re: Wine Barrels

Cut in half lengthways theyre great for garden beds. Have also seen a coffee table made out of one cut length ways.
