We're open daily 10 to 5 (or later). Wine Barrel Adirondack Chairs posted 09-21-2012 03:30 AM Yet another take on Adirondack Chairs made form old Wine Barrel staves. After working out the sequence, I got assembly time down to about 2 hours per chair (we built a total of 5).

However, this project is deceiving… sanding and finishing took many more hours. In the future, I’ll sand, stain, and seal all stave PRIOR to assembly. That will save a lot of time. staves – 37” long off the barrelwedding chair covers hertfordshire width of seat at front: 21”herman miller chair toronto price depth of seat: 17”dining chairs for sale christchurch height of seat: ~14”wingback chairs for sale in ireland back angle: ~116 degreeschair and table rentals lancaster pa

Latest Blog Entries |0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.wicker egg chair melbourne Just some pics from a set of 5 (4 for me, 1 for a friend) adirondack chairs I've been making from old wine barrel staves. We're in wine country (no, not that one, the other one) and so discarded barrels are easy to get off craigslist (they cost over a $1500 new and can only be used for 3 years!). I paid $60 each for 3 barrels that yielded enough staves (22 per chair) to make 4 chairs (about 30 staves per barrel). I got them from a roadside tourist "art" place, but I've since got more at around $30 ea. The trick is to get them before the heathens cut them in half for planters.... Best  to do ALL your sanding and radiusing (and maybe even finishing) BEFORE assembly (we didn't).

The RO 90 sure made this a lot easier. After an initial bad start due to ignorance, I figured out the right gears on the CXS and was able to use it for all countersinking and screw driving. The right angle attachment was great for doing the seat slats. About 2 hours each for assembly after jigging up and prototype for dimensions. LOTS more for sanding. And was it worth it? Picture says it all... ETA: Fixed picture orientation I like how you used the curvature of the barrels in the chairs. Was the inside of the barrel not charcoaled up? Don't they burn those barrels from the inside to give the drink a smokey flavor...? Oh no, thats with Whiskey only. Yeah, Whiskey with a capital W. I'm one of those single malters I thought they did it to wine barrels as well. But by the time I get them, just have wine soaked in a full 1/4" into the wood. Colors vary by varietal type. My understanding was that Scotch is aged in used wine barrels... I love a good Scotch myself, but it doesn't like me back....

Ironically, I descend from a Scottish clan that makes wine, not scotch! For all your Shopfitting needs Really cool, did you treat them with anything ?  I think you are right, Whisky is matured in used wine barrels. Stained them Watco Danish Oil (medium walnut). Going to seal with a marine grade poly/varnish. Can't remember the brand.What a great idea.  Do you think the staves are long enough to make rockers as well? Or is rocking and drinking a bad idea? Scotch is aged in used whiskey barrels. Oakville Cabinetry on Instagram Do you think the staves are long enough to make rockers as well? Yes, I've seen that done, they are just long enough and only one extra brace. I like the design! What did you finally use to chamfer/radius the edges? I had already done it with the RO 90 and just knocked the corners off. Was more asking for future projects. Think I'll try those hand cornering tools. I just noticed, the centre stave on the backrest has the hole for the bung, nice touch

Yeah, that's kindof a cool feature of these things. Some builders put the bung hole on the front cross member. But something about putting the bung hole in the front didn't seem natural... Just don't ask how I managed to get four staves with holes out of 3 barrels ...The wife wants one... I currently have a new set of 2 plus side table (also made from wine barrels) which will be for sale at the Silent Auction fund raiser for my sons high school marching band on May 4th. Starting bid will be $300. Retail value is about $1000 total for all three pieces. Assuming you don't want to come out to California for that, here are a few guys who do make and sell them for a living (note that some of them make rockers too): I like your design and layout the most .  It gives a nice feeling and look to the chair compared to some other designs that look heavy .  ( not in weight ) I've been doing some tables from barrels , now I'm about to tackle some chairs .
