In this video I am making a table top for a wine barrel
I start by cutting, planning, and gluing up an Oak top, to match the wood of the barrel. Next I trace the 30” diameter glass top onto the oak, and cut out the circle. I want the logo on the top of the wine barrel to be visible, so I drew another circle, 7” inside of the first and cut that out to make a ring. Then I hammered a 1”x1/8” mild steel flat bar into a ring to fit around the 3/4” top, with a 1/4” lip above to hold the glass. I secured the ring with a rivet, and attached it to the wooden top with nails, which were then hammered to resemble rivets as well. Before I attached the top to the barrel, using brackets cut and modified from 1 1/2” angle iron, I attached a set of color changing LED lights to the underside of the top, to add a bit of fun to the finished top.
Im really happy with the way this turned out, and I know that it will be well loved in its new home
