In this video, I make the staves out of 2x6 I bought from the big orange store.
I could not find nearly enough useable 8ft 2x6 boards in scrap form =[

I also begin the process of building the body of the barrel, and I'm pretty happy with the result. I hope to get the stainless steel straps soon, and remove a lot of the screws I used to hold the staves in place.

Here’s the dimensions, tools and material y’all asked for.

Be sure to subscribe, because I have yet to build a door, benches, and figure out the wood stove. I am not sure if I will be welding my own stove, or modifying the one I already have. (You may have seen it in the background of some videos.

Let me know if you have comments, and as always, thank you very much for watching!
