Project ideas for wine barrels

[Wayne]

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?

Inspo if you've got a dog @Wayne.

@Brad might be able to help you with making the pond suitable for fish @Wayne.

Let us know how you go.

Inspo for your outdoor table @Wayne.

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.

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?

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.

Thanks for the update @Wayne. Looking forward to seeing what else you've been up to.

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.

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