Hi, Thanks for Hanging Out! This was a great fun project with a pretty dramatic contrast between the before and after. It was also handy to test a few outdoor finishes for future projects. I thought the dolly I made from bits lying around the shop was a good way to help manoeuvre them around. I wonder if there is a better way to mask them up or technique to paint the steel bands? I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching 👍
Thank you and thanks for watching. All I did was make sure they were clean, masked off the timber to make sure there was no overspray and then used a spray paint specific to metal, if you go to any hardware store, they would be able to advise you on a suitable paint. If these were already painted, you would want to scuff the surface and remove any loose or flaking paint before your top coat. Any rust can be sanded out or treated using rust converters, and a hardware store would also be able to advise on a suitable product. Hope that helps, good luck.
Thanks, I was gonna take the whole thing apart and sand it with a belt sander but this turned up good just with the wire brush so il just do that I think...
@@hangingoutwithhally7463 yah well I went and bought brass wire wheels for my grinder and paint and masking tape and everything today... so il be using this as a step by step guide 🤣... I only have boiled linseed oil tho... 🤔... don’t know how that will turn out..
Howdy, thanks for that and thanks for watching! After a couple of trials, I found that for me a Brass Wire Wheel worked best as it was a little more forgiving on the timber. The harder, twisted knot style steel brushes were too aggressive. Hope that helps, cheers. 😀
Hi how are the barrels looking now? I'm just about to do ours, and they will probably be outside, so I'm thinking of going the intergrian after your review. Thanks for your video very instructive.
Hi Wendy, thanks for watching and the question, we keep them under a verandah and have only re-coated them once, and they are still looking great. As soon as you start to see the timber lighten or the slightest tinge of grey it's time to re-coat them. Hope that helps, cheers. 😀
@@wendyporter4338 No, I didn't have to, because it's an oil and I didn't have any grey spots. The Intergrain does darken a little bit each time you finish it. On this light timber it was hardly noticeable. Hope that helps. 😀
Im making Adirondack chairs out of wine barrels With the decking oil will it get on people's clothes after its dried. Or will it feel oily, greasey, or slimey. Especially when damp or wet from being outside.
Hi John, thanks for watching, appreciate it! The decking oil is fine after it's dry, but this does take some time, I made Adirondack chairs with it and waited a week and it was fine. Once the oil has dried, it's never felt oily to me after getting wet. If it still looks wet or is still wet to the touch, don't sit on it with white pants 😀. Hope that helps. Cheers.
I haven't cleaned the inside of my barrels, so I'm afraid I don't have any hands on advice to give you. Appreciate the question, and for watching, cheers. 😀
Hi Camilla, thanks for stopping by and watching, it's appreciated 😀. I haven't used any Crystal Clear outdoor products before (only indoor ones), so I don't know what's around that you could try. I could only suggest contacting your local paint supplies store and ask what they have. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
@@ThePat1962 Good idea. I put a little natural-colored stain on them after I sanded them down and they are beautiful. I think they will just take a little experimenting and maintenance to keep them looking good, but that’s easy. ☺️
Howdy, thanks for watching, appreciate it. The "colour" was Natural, there was no added pigment at all. Check it out here, www.intergrain.com.au/products/intergrain-nature-s-timber-oil/. Cheers. 😃
@@hangingoutwithhally7463 Thanks Hally for the quick response. Did you find the brass brush damaging the surface of the wood? Wouldn't it better to sand it?
You would damage the surface with too much pressure, it was not too hard to burn the wood with the wire brush, so I had to be careful and work with a light touch. I did try sanding and it would have given me a really nice smooth finish, the trade off would have been much more time. The surface was in good condition, barely oxidised, so the goal was to get it clean and uniform. If I was able to find a suitable stiff bristle brush (to attach to a power tool 😁) I would have tried that instead of the wire brush. I hope that helps show my thought process and may help with your question? Cheers. 😀
@@hangingoutwithhally7463 Ah noted. I have two half wine barrels which are in good condition. Offcourse inside is very red haha but Ill keep it for character. Ill just clean the outside properly and I also got me wire brush drill bit to follow your footpath. Let's see if I do as good job as you haha.
Hi B C, it is water resistant, it won't stop water for good, it will need to be re-applied (it's very much like linseed oil, it penetrates the timber, but doesn't create a sealed finish like a varnish or paint would). I chose the Natural Oil version which doesn't have any tinting in it, but it will darken the natural colour of the timber, but not change the colour. You can get it tinted to change the colour, which works best on lighter timbers like Pine. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching, cheers. 😀
Howdy, thanks for watching, appreciate it! It really wasn't a lot of oil, from memory it wouldn't have been more than a litre for each one. Hope that helps, cheers! 😀

Thanks so much for taking the time to show the process. Love the end result. Have just bought one and look forward to restoring mine.
Hey, that's awesome, have fun with it, appreciate you watching, cheers 😀
Great video but I would like to know more about painting the metal bands. Thanks

Howdy, I've never tried linseed oil myself either, I've only seen it used on other peoples work, good luck, I hope it goes well for you 😀
@@hangingoutwithhally7463 yah thanks il let you know 👍...
Absolutely love it good work mate, new sub from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for the sub and for watching, glad you enjoyed it, appreciate it, cheers 😀
Hi mate great video! What attachment did you use on the grind m please? Much appreciated

@@hangingoutwithhally7463 Thanks Hally - did you have to sand it again, or just re-coat, and did it go darker?

we just bought a wine barrel whats the best way to clean the inside?
I haven't cleaned the inside of my barrels, so I'm afraid I don't have any hands on advice to give you. Appreciate the question, and for watching, cheers. 😀
I just bought one two and would like some advice. Want to use it as a planter. Thx for sharing what U needed up doing
If you don’t want to change the color of the raw wood, what could you apply to give it some protection outdoors? Thank you.
Hi Camilla, thanks for stopping by and watching, it's appreciated 😀. I haven't used any Crystal Clear outdoor products before (only indoor ones), so I don't know what's around that you could try.

@@hangingoutwithhally7463 Thank you! Your video was well done and very informative! ☺️
Hi Camilla, thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😃
Teak oil? Used to protect garden furniture. I think I'll use it.
@@ThePat1962 Good idea. I put a little natural-colored stain on them after I sanded them down and they are beautiful. I think they will just take a little experimenting and maintenance to keep them looking good, but that’s easy. ☺️
Hi mate, thank you for this informational video. May I ask what intergrain colour you used in this video?

What is a wire brush?
I’m not familiar with decking oil? Is that a stain and waterproofing product?
Hi B C, it is water resistant, it won't stop water for good, it will need to be re-applied (it's very much like linseed oil, it penetrates the timber, but doesn't create a sealed finish like a varnish or paint would).

How many litres did you use of each?
Howdy, thanks for watching, appreciate it! It really wasn't a lot of oil, from memory it wouldn't have been more than a litre for each one. Hope that helps, cheers! 😀
