I one different technique. After I trace the edge on the second board and run it through the band saw, I use that piece as a template for the rest. Much easier and super quick than tracing individually. Great video. Thanks. 👍👍

It’s now June’ 2024 & I can’t find the red wood strips…can you tell me what you use ?

Thank you Scott for a great tutorial! My husband and I made 3 of these this weekend. While it was a bit tedious, once we got the method right they came together well and look fabulous! Our Home Depot didn't have redwood strips, but did have MDF planks. So we used those and then I faux finished them to look like wood. We plan to use them inside for our Halloween party with a pirate theme, so weather and moisture wont be an issue. Thanks again!

Just what I've been looking for. I'm intending to make half barrels for a themed restaurant/bar and yours look ideal. Thanks for your time. Cheers

Ingenious and extremely authentic. Great project and a big thumbs up.

Amazing. I plan to make a few of these for my man cave. Excellent tutorial.

Beautiful, thorough, to the point and artistic. Thank you sir. It’s a really cool idea.

This is very cool! Great tutorial. I’m glad you mentioned how much you spent on material.

Thank you very much Scott Halloween display was a hit the barrels really looked great!

Great video! Thank you for sharing how to make a very cool looking prop. I like going all-out for Halloween, too!

Great job! You've given me courage to try my own!

What an awesome video. Thanks for sharing!! Your barrel looks terrific!!

Excellent tutorial, great teacher!

To avoid all that repetitive bandsaw work, make a template from one of the successfully shaped staves. Use that with a flush-trim router bit on a router table to create however many you need. :) Excellent project!

I made one this last week. If it’s any consolation to anyone attempting this, soak the wood for about 2 hours. I’m in Vegas and the desert dry weather is not very helpful. Also I did the template and router, after a few tweaks it went pretty easy.

Nice job! Scott

Man!!!!! You give me good idea

Another suggestion is to rip the staves narrower to make them look like actual staves. Following Andy H's advice to use a template, if you get two metal bands (top and bottom) you can use these as temporary compression rings to seat the staves much tighter together (hold them in place using the rope wrapped around the middle). Once you have them compressed together, then nail them in place. This will allow you to remove the metal bands and substitute the rope on the top, middle and bottom.

hi can u show us how to center the 3 circled wood pls i try to do that but cant get them all in center ..thanks

I used the redwood straps from Loews and they just keep breaking. They only I can think is because I’m in Az the wood is dryer and cracks easier. Any suggestions. I get 1 good board for every 4 that break. Also how do you line up the top and bottom circle to make sure they are centered correctly and what did you use to secure them to the 2x4’s.

Could you make a stencil for the cuts or is it best to just do one at a time?

You can also rip some little thin pieces of oak wood to feel in those cracks.

also I will be using silver duct tape for the rings, to hold slats in place. it works well in my head. lol

Hi Scott - what is the model number of your Dewalt bandsaw ?

i bet you could use a 4x8 sheet of underlayment cut into strips if you can't find the same product used in the video. At $14 for a sheet, the price would be hard to beat and has a well sanded surface you can stain.

I like the method. Just would like to use barnwood instead. Think it would bend?

@fyrcapt22

8 жыл бұрын

It would be difficult with Barnwood. You could try soaking them for a while first they will bend a little easier. You could also just make the middle section a little bit smaller. For example, a typical barrel the middle run is about 2 inches bigger in circumference of the top and bottom. If your middle circumference was only about an inch wider than the top and bottom that would wouldn't have to bend as much and may be easier to bend.. Hope that helps . Let us all know how it works out..

Fantastic!! Real Genius! However, i cannot find the staves at either Home Depot or Lowes. How wide are those 8 ft strips? Is it 3 1/2 "? It seems hard to find anything that is 1/4 " thickness. I guess I will try some lumber stores. Any suggestions?

Excellent tutorial Scott! As to finding 1/4" lumber, try looking for lattice stock, or utility stock in the moulding sections or even wall planking at Menards, Lowes or Home Depot. I know Menards also stocks 1/4" boards in oak (pricey) and Aspen (kinda pricey). If I make one, I have the luxury of a bench planer and will use 5/8" cedar pickets planed down to 1/4". I'll also use my bandsaw circle cutting jig I built to speed things up. Mike

Hi, Just wondering how many of the bending boards I need to buy to make one barrel?

@autumn_star11

3 жыл бұрын

I don't know the exact numbers because I don't have the width of the redwood strips, but I would guess that they are approximately 4 inches wide because to me they look similar to a 2x4 width. on most we're going to be removing about a quarter inch, so let's call them 3.5 inches wide (better to over estimate you need, you know?) Each 8 foot board give 3 bending strips- 3 x 3.5= 10.5 inches of coverage. The widest point of the barrel is 23 inches in circumference. 23/10.5=2.19 which we would round up to 3 board. This math would in theory be the same with whatever boards you're using. you would just need to know the widest point of the barrel and the width of your strips minus the overlap to be removed. And of course remembering that, if you choose to make the barrel taller or much bigger around, you would have to cut your strips longer, and therefore need more strips. I hope that helps clear it up. Also, as I'm wrapping up this comment, I'm noticing that your question was from 3 years ago..... did you end up making one?

It's good to see the woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.

You could wrap the "belly" of the soup can a couple times and then put your card bard strips in place. This way the cans would look more like barrels. www.homedepot.com/p/MD-Building-Products-1-2-in-x-120-in-High-Density-Foam-Tape-02295/202837932 Hope that makes sense...

if you're trying to use the wood that he uses here, he mentioned that this wood is kept near concrete because it's used to make curved concrete forms. However, if you get thin pine boards because they're a soft wood which is already flexible (if you have home depot near you, they sell these in the craft wood section, they are NOT pressure treated which is important), they can be soaked and then bent. being in vegas i would recommend cutting them to length and placing them in a filled tub overnight. not sure how this would affect the wood glue adhesion because I've only seen it use on large trailers with a curve toward their ramps so of course they're screwed together, but the wood doesn't need to be dripping. the soaking just allows the water to penetrate and soak the inner wood, affording you a flexibility that is not normally there. Good luck!!
