good looking work mate. I cant be sure from the angle of the camera, but the cut looks as if you used the grinding disc to cut with. cleanup will be a shit load easier if you use a cutting disc. I have been using a wire brush attachment on my cordless angle grinder to clean off the burnt side and it works great giving a slightly burnished look to the charcoal.
The metal band is actually the metal band from the whiskey barrel. I cut it and put it on there for decoration. However, I am also able to use my laser to add names or a personalized inscription on it. Works great.
I haven't really paid attention to the thickens of the stave when making these. I look at how wide they are. But when checking they ranged from 1/2" to 1" thick.
That's ok. I don't mind teaching others what I have learned. If I'm the only one who knows, then it dies with me. This way, hopefully what I know can help others and will live on long after I am gone.
I know this video is a year old, but I really enjoyed this. You’re a good teacher.
Just a tip. A pressure washer works fantastic for removing the char and getting the grit and dirt off while still leaving all of the beautiful patina.

What is the metal plate for?

Who makes the laser light on your drill press
it comes with the Wen Drill Press. It is built in.
What’s the thickness on the barrel stave?

When everyone can make it...everyone will...and there will be no value left in you making it.

Not 'everyone' will make it. Not everyone has the tools or inclination. Some people like to see it made & then buy it. 😊
