Whiskey barrel coffee tables are a great way to add an attractive, rustic touch to any home or bar. Not only do they look unique and stylish, but they are also surprisingly easy to make. You can create your whiskey barrel coffee table with suitable materials and tools in just a few hours.
The primary materials needed for this project include one empty whisky barrel, four caster wheels, wood screws, drill bits, screws for attaching the wheels, wood glue, and some wood you choose (we recommend oak).
You will also need several tools, such as saws, clamps, and sandpaper. Additionally, having a helper on hand who can help lift the barrel and hold pieces in place while you are drilling or screwing.
Once you have gathered all the necessary materials and tools, it’s time to start! Follow the instructions below to create your own unique whiskey barrel coffee table. Good luck
Sourcing a whiskey barrel
The first step is to source a whiskey barrel. You can find these at local distilleries and breweries or purchase one from an online supplier. Ensure the barrel is in good condition and the right size for your project. Once you’ve found the perfect barrel, it’s time to start assembling!
Next, measure and cut four pieces of oak into circles with a diameter slightly larger than your whiskey barrel. Glue these circles together using wood glue and clamp them in place until fully dry. It will form the base of your coffee table.
Once the oak base has dried, drill four holes near each corner where you will attach the caster wheels. Attach the wheels to the base with wood screws and ensure they are securely in place.
Now it’s time to attach your whiskey barrel. Place the barrel upside down on top of the oak base, ensuring it is centered correctly. Drill four holes around the circumference of the barrel, where you will attach it to the oak base with wood screws. Make sure all screws are tightened properly before proceeding.
Once everything has been assembled, turn your coffee table up and sand any rough areas with a fine-grit sandpaper. Finally, apply a coat of sealant or finish to protect your whiskey barrel coffee table from liquid spills or dirt buildup over time.
