Easy DIY Whiskey and Cigar Butler to Hold Your Finest Whiskey and Best Cigar

- This Whiskey and Cigar Butler is an easy project for any novice woodworker and a great gift idea too. As we all know, a good Whiskey and a fine cigar are a match made in heaven. And having a place for them is pure joy. For that reason, I decided to make a whiskey and cigar butler with a basic design that is over a century old. It’s a place for your whiskey to keep condensation off the fine furniture and a spot for your cigar so it won’t roll off or burn the table. But this project takes it a step further by up-cycling old bourbon barrel staves and hoops into a useful, attractive, and highly functional whiskey and cigar butler.

I was nervous about making these until I saw this. You gave me the confidence to do it and just ordered the bits you used. Thank you!
Javier - great to hear you are giving it a shot. Just be careful when plowing the cigar groove. Do it in a couple of passes.
You, my brother, are very talented!! This is awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
I bought that exact drill bit, it works awesome on wine staves
Yes it does!
Good job Marine. I'll be doing this tomorrow.
Thanks, Semper Fi brother!
@@30minutewoodshop just finished this product. Definitely wish I had a router table. I had to use the dado stack in my table saw. I haven't started sending yet. I think I'll go palm sander and go 80 up to 220. I think I'll take a laser to it and throw the Marine Corps logo on the band
Awesome! I really need to pick up a Laser. I just got a CNC a month ago and it's great but not for fine work.
Giving me a great idea. Maybe drill a couple holes in the end grain to let some of the aroma out.
Now that might be a great idea! I saved a bucket of shavings from the drilling process because it smelled so good. Maybe finish it then drill the glass depression and leave it raw.
what rank were you in the marines, pls?
Nice little project, Thx. What did you use the 3" Forstner bit for?
Thx - the 3" or 90mm bit creates the pocket that the glass sets in.
Need some close ups at the end
Thanks, great idea! What are the dimensions for the length? By the way, a jig saw works great to cut these and seems safer that a miter saw.
9-1/2 inches long seems to work best. And I'll have to try the jigsaw, thanks for the tip.
what router bit did you use to make the cut for the cigar holder?
I used and Amana Tool 3/8" with a 1/4" shaft. amzn.to/3r9JYXe
Did you stain the metal strips?
No, I just dusted them off with 320 grit lightly and hit them with a couple coats of Poly. Though that is a great idea for some other sections of the barrel bands that have heavier rust - thanks!
what nails did you use?
I used 3/4" Carpet tacks. They look just like the old style cut nails and hold really well in the White Oak.
@@30minutewoodshop thank you so much!
If I had to go through all this to drink whiskey I’d either give up or go outside to drink 😏😤🙄
Lol... yes but it improves the experience.
You must be drinking bourbon, it should be illegal to put ice in a decent single malt!
ROFLMAO! So true!! I can't enjoy bourbon without ice. And I only drink good single malts. What's your "go to" whisky?
