Whiskey Barrel SkateboardsTHE STORY

The Whiskey Barrel Skateboards started when a buddy of mine gave me a set of trucks and wheels from his old longboard. I always thought coasting around our beach town would be fun on a skateboard but since I wasn’t any good I didn’t want to spend all sorts of money on whole get up. That’s when I figured; I’m a woodworker, I have a set of trucks and wheels, maybe I should just make my own deck. I looked by the scrap bin at the shop but there wasn’t much in there, except a few of my own Whiskey Barrel staves. Boom! ” That’s it, I am making it out of this stuff.” Whiskey Barrels are made from one inch thick American White Oak and after all the curves in them just seemed ideal. With a few prototypes the Whiskey Barrel Skateboards were in production with in a few weeks. Hell, my first order was for 2 to Germany! That was in last June and we are knocking them out ever since.

Whiskey Barrel SkateboardsWhen it comes to making these Whiskey Barrel Skateboards there are a few very important guidelines to follow to ensure the highest quality in structural durability and board performance. I am going to keep those a secrete for now but I’ll let you in on them later so can make your own super fun Whiskey Barrel Skateboards.

Whiskey Barrel Bench

“The new Whiskey Barrel Bench is here, be one of the first ones to own one!”

Whiskey Barrel Bench by the Hungarian WorkshopWell, this project was long over due. I have been asked by more down enough customers to make a Whiskey Barrel Bench. With all the work we been busy with it was a bit hard to find time for some product research and development. But soon as I got a great helping hand the new ideas starting emerging from the idea book. That is why I highly recommend signing up for our monthly newsletter. I have a dozens  of new plans just waiting to land on the work table.

Whiskey Barrel Bench by The Hungarian WorkshopThis Whiskey Barrel Bench is designed to be in a way… simple. I didn’t want this piece to look too “busy” with excessive braces and brackets. In reality you’d be surprised how often the phrase “Less Is More” comes into play when building new pieces. However there was still lots to consider when it came to structurally durability in mind. (As always there was a few prototypes that found new home in my living room, ha.) Finding the correct way to position the supports took a “minute” but I knew I was on the right track when I literately only had one screw in each base and already there was no movement or wiggle.

Whiskey Barrel Bench by The Hungarian WorkshopOnce I got all the stainless steel hardware in place this Whiskey Barrel Bench was ready! A great feel of victory always over comes me when a new finished products comes out perfect. This Whiskey Barrel Bench is perfect for any porch or patio and can be a wonderful addition to any bedroom when placed at the foot of the bed.  It’s also available in Wine Barrel version as well.

Whiskey Barrel Furniture Ideas

“One of Southern California’s best barrel furniture manufacturer and designer,the Hungarian Workshop has plenty of whiskey barrel furniture ideas to show you.”

Whiskey Barrel Furniture in San DiegoLet me guess, you just got your hands on a premium whiskey barrel  and now your are thinking about making something out of it. Excellent! The art of up cycling should be embraced by others. It’s is perfect way of doing something positive for the environment and an easy way to obtain a great hobby. Whether you are a beginner or an expert woodworker, using reclaimed material will arise new challenges.

In this blog I will show you a few of my whiskey barrel furniture ideas which you can use as a start in your own project’s plan. I won’t cover all designs but I encourage you too check out my site anyway and share it with anyone who enjoys Wine & Whiskey Barrel creations.

The Adirondack Chair

This is by far the most common project because we are all familiar with the style. This chair requires to use 90% of a full barrel and has minimal amount precision cuts. This an ideal plan for you if you have made an Adirondack chair before and I guarantee you won’t have any troubles.

Whiskey Barrel Coffee Table

Whiskey Barrel Table IdeasNow I am sure you have seen this concept as well. By cutting the barrel in half you create a perfect storage space which most homes could always use a little more of. There are very simple ways to make this design but I highly recommend using as much barrel wood as you can. Occasionally you will see craftsman mixing other type of wood with barrel and I feel that kind of takes away from the art. However when it comes to making a table top I do myself ideally use well seasoned white oak. It’s the same type of wood as the barrel and I won’t have to worry about seems opening up from undried material.

Cutting Boards and Platters

Whiskey Barrel Platter If you work with barrels regularly, you will most likely have some extra lids and staves left over. Small projects can be very fun especially when you can make something within a shorter period of time. You never want to lose interest in what you are working on so small items can be a good way to open up new doors to creativity.

Rule Of Thumb

CHAIR: When you are making a chairs it isn’t structurally sound unless you can lean back on its hind legs and rock back and forth.  It’s the best way to test for high quality since someone will always do it.

TABLE: Use the best quality seasoned wood for the table top. Any tight joints and flat surface will want to move around and a project can be a bust within a few month. Same goes for cutting boards, be sure to dry out the barrel wood fully before glueing anything up.

Well I hope this little blog got your brain filling up with a few of your own ideas. Always remember to be safe, wear eye protection and have fun.

Whiskey Barrel Platter

“The Whiskey Barrel Platter can can be used to display any kind of arrangements.”

Whiskey Barrel PlatterThis platter is made completely from reclaimed Whiskey Barrels. The staves that are joined together have slight curve which creates the ideal surface any king of arrangements. The base is made from old whiskey barrel tops and bottoms. Will make a great center pieces for any whiskey enthusiast. Finished with Mineral Oil and Bees Wax.

Whiskey Barrel Platter

A few month ago when I purchased a full truck load of Whiskey Barrels ,I kind of had a hunch that I will have plenty of extra material for new project. That is why last week I went on a mission to come out with a few small products that can be sold at a lower cost to ensure not wasting any left over staves.

Whiskey Barrel PlatterSurprisingly it wasn’t too hardtop think of what I wanted to be selling, however to make my product stand out was a little trickier. Once I made my cutting boards, bottle openers and coasters, I thought about something more of a display item.

For this Whiskey Barrel Platter design I figured to stay simple to make sure it will be obvious where the material came from. When designing smaller house hold items I find it very important to show of the material authenticity. This can be hard when there isn’t much surface area.

The Whiskey Barrel Platter is ready to be purchased in the Recycle Bin section of the online store. 

And as always, thank you for stopping by the Hungarian Workshop and be sure to sign up for our online news letter to receive this months coupon codes and new product info. We also feature new products and more ways to save on our social media sites, FACEBOOK, Twitter and Instagram.

Whiskey Barrel Cutting Board

“New from the Recycle Bin section, Whiskey Barrel Cutting Board!”

Whiskey Barrel Cutting Board by The Hungarian WorkshopWe go through so many barrels and the Whiskey Barrel tops and bottom just keep piling sky high. I have been wrecking my brain on what new product I could be making that will let me use most of this extra material up. My first ideas were to come out with new furniture piece but most often bigger items move much slower. Even when I made my first new designed Coffee Table using only the lids, that still wasn’t enough. Thirty plus tops and bottoms was only the tip of the iceberg, and for the amount of work I had to put into it…. oh man.

Whiskey Barrel Cutting Board by The Hungarian WorkshopI really liked the construction style of that new coffee table and also I realized I didn’t carry enough smaller products. Anything that can be given as a gift to virtually anyone will be great seller, and cutting boards are in every kitchen. It’s simple, useful and in high demand from people who enjoy home cooking.

Whiskey Barrel Cutting Board | Hungarian WorkshopTo keep that authentic Whiskey Barrel feel preserved, I kept one end and the edge pieces to raw to show off the materials true history. I felt like without those key focal points, this Whiskey Barrel Cutting Board would just too plain. Once I oiled the finish product I was very pleased with the oaks beautiful colors and grain patterns.

Making a smaller projects for once was very fun and I enjoyed it so much I am looking forward for the next one. Trying out with new ideas is not just good for the business but its also great for mind. Allowing your self to explore new designs can be gamble of time and money, however it will keep your out of ruts and getting burned out!
