Theantiquetiger2 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Friend at work saw mine, so he asked me to build him one. Now he has three friends that want one. The one one on the left is mine Edited October 15, 2019 by Theantiquetiger2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Nice. I wasn't paying attention earlier -- Lazy Susan shelves? I converted a 1940s standup radio to a liquor cabinet many years ago (cut out the grill and rebuilt it as a lift-out "door" and replaced the radio/speaker with a car radio/cassette w/similar push buttons). Reaching the stuff in the back of the bottom shelf required my lying on the floor. The barrel is MUCH more practical and space-efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not really deep enough to warrant one, I feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I like it. If someone wanted the Lazy Susan, you could find one made to sit inside cabinets. I used to use one for spices. It's a plastic plate that sits on a base that rotates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem would be making sure the shelf is mounted perfectly. It’s hard enough to get just a shelf perfect. These barrels are a thing of beauty. I’ve never been a woodworker/carpenter, so I’ve never understood woodworkers going crazy over a certain wood, etc. But after sanding/staining these barrels, I feel what they feel. These barrels are gorgeous. All that from some nasty thing like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
