How to Make a Miniature Whisky Barrel

If you look at a Cooperage, you'll find that they make oak barrels and char them in preparation for whisky. It's a similar process that's going on here, except it's with the lathe and in miniature form.
Barrel Size
belly = 38mm / 1.5"
top / bottom =31mm / 1.2"
height = 51mm / 2"
These proportions should help approximate the shape and size. mimicking the metal straps is something to play with. I've settled on the one in the video, but you may prefer something slightly different.

That's a super cute little lathe project, great idea. And cheers for explaining why you have those gloves on - no business of mine if someone wants to wear gloves when they work, but thats the first time I've seen someone wear those super thick insulated ones, must be bloody cold up there!! 👍👍

Thanks! And yeah, it gets down to -40. It's been a mild winter bit I still like to feel my fingers. It's still winter but warming up now thankfully.

Great video. I am a former Canadian :)

Thanks! Being a former Canadian I'm sure you want through your share of mixing Imperial and metric measurements depending on mood and all sorts of other seemingly randomness 😜. It's good to see you on my channel

@@blackcoalwoodworking yes, especially with temperature. 0C to -40 and 33F and above...lol. Miles to a destination and Km to see how long it will take...lol

This time I'll use WoodPrix instructions to make it by my hand :)
