/diy/ - Do It Yourself

ship them my way I can recycle then for ya and there won't be any waste filling up the landfills smoke filling up the air.

Folks will buy those just for the ambiance. Don't even think of burning them.

I would sell them as is to western europeans, probobly brits or maybe the nords. They'll be willing to pay out the butt for them.

These are money, plain and simple, just find the right buyer. I would personally use them for aging (high gravity beers, wines, etc.) but many people also use them for decorating, landscaping, etc.
Either way, these are definitely worth something and the right person will make sure that they are used for years to come.

Sell them online. They are really valuable still.

There's also these you can make to sell for more money perhaps:

make some chairs

should be possible to make two out of one barrel

(just fyi In Bordeaux, France, they switch to new barrels each fucking year.)

this.

real hand crafted ones are fucking expensive.

also don't clean the outside. you'll take away their character.

Been wanting to do pic related as soon as I can get my hands on a cask. Do it for the glory OP.

Tell me OP, are there many of those there barrels in Serbia?
I smell a business.

If I had a barrel like that, I'd stand it on end and put a circular piece of glass on top and use it for a table.

Sell them. If for some bizarre reason you can't sell them, they actually make terrific planters for things like tomatoes if you chop them in half horizontally. Bonus you get two planters outta one barrel.

I wouldn't do a single thing with them. They make wonderful decorations.

Fill them full of black powder and stick a fuse in the bunghole then sell em to Donkey Kong, Mario is a dead man.

I never intended to sell them, my goal was not to make money but to turn them into something that could be useful to myself.

That search provided a lot of awesome ideas, I've decided to replace most of the current furniture in my room with new pieces made of barrels. I have 13 barrels (5 as those in the first pic, 3 larger, and 5 smaller), so I'm going to make a table, two armchairs, two or four closets, a chandelier, a bar table, a couple of bar chairs and I'll use one to store drinks.

That's exactly what I'm going to do, except I'll cut it in half because I want a low table. Also, since the inside of the barrel is going to be visible through the glass, I'll make a castle or something inside.

They're made of black locust which is one of the hardest woods you can find and the planks are at least an inch thick, some even more, so they're very heavy, I doubt anyone would be willing to pay for the shipping alone.

Yeah, go to any village and you'll find hundreds. Our villages are underdeveloped even today, until a few decades ago plastic barrels (which are much more practical) were not very common so the folks were using wooden ones. Now not many people use them, but almost everyone still has them. Also, younger people are migrating from villages to towns/cities (and even those who do stay do not work in the fields), so you can find lots of houses in which only very old people live who would be probably willing to sell barrels because once they die no one will be using them anyway. The further you go from cities, the more likely you're to find old hand-crafted stuff. There are villages up in the mountains with only a couple of dozen of people (mostly very old ones) where every house looks like a mini-museum. My village is very close to one of the biggest cities, but if I don't manage to make everything I planned from my own barrels I'm pretty sure I can buy more from my neighbors, maybe even get some for free.

The one on the left is the smallest barrel I have, it is about 45x50 cm.

This is the largest one I have, 125 cm tall and the diameter of the base is about 110 cm.

Craft beer brewers like to age some of their special beers in old spirit barrels. maybe there is a market in that for you.

Saint-Emilion: barrels in the cellar. At Home ^^

make sub-woofers that's what i did

Decorations: stools, tables, place to stash things.
Selling them: some people pay dough on these kind of things.
Playing real life jumping man.
OP if they insist on burning them, certain types of meat are smoked with the wood of barrels so theres that.
