Wine Barrel Coffee Table / Kids Table and Stools

I originally made this table for kids, but I found out it also made a pretty good coffee table. The table is very simple, just a barrel head with barrel staves for legs attached with angle brackets. The barrel hoop provides support to the legs and is just attached with 3/8 in. nuts and bolts.

The Stools are a little tricky. The seats are made from barrel staves that I cut out of the center of a different barrel for a different project. I had to cut a door into my barrel I use as an entertainment center. The pieces for stool seat are held together with glue and reinforced on the bottom with pieces of barrel hoop; sorry that is not shown in the photos. The legs are just barrel staves. These kids’ stools can also function as foot stools.

Comments and tips are welcome.
