Re: Herzog full barrel restoration
That looks great! I was wondering who would pick that cabinet up. Good job.

Re: Herzog full barrel restoration
I am now two steps closer to finishing this project, so I thought I would update the thread.
First I'd like to thank Mr. Duffy for selling me two handles, the just came in the mail. Attached is a photo of the cabinet with the handles screwed on.
Secondly, I found a good solution for making the new top. I have been looking around marketplace for awhile trying to find an old piece of furniture to use for a top. I just bought this coffee table (they used a library table top for it) and will be able to make a new top from it. I'll bring it to my woodworking friend who will help me cut it and route the edge to match the old top. I know that this will not be a "correct" top, but I think it will turn out quite nicely. I will be getting the table towards the end of July. I am hoping I can have the top made and potentially glue the cabinet back together before the summer is over.
Cheers,
David

Re: Herzog full barrel restoration
That's a great solution for a new top.
I'd do the same thing!

Re: Herzog full barrel restoration
Thanks guys! I am excited to be moving forward with this again. It's definitely turned into more of a project than I had originally thought.
The next 'phase' will be getting the top made, the cabinet glued together, and the rest of the wood stained, grain filled, and refinished. Then I think I will just enjoy looking at it until I have the time to make all the shelves, cardboard pegs, opening mechanism, and the shelf supports.

Re: Herzog full barrel restoration
That oak piece you found for the top is perfect... It's old and quarter sawn - much better than using veneer. It's a great looking project.

Re: Herzog full barrel restoration
I’m excited to make the new top out of it, it’s ¾” solid oak. I can even use the scraps for the other woodworking. I’m hoping I might have just enough to make the new feet.

Re: Herzog full barrel restoration
Can someone who has a full barrel post the measurements/ some pictures for the feet? I should have more than enough wood to turn the feet from the rest of the table.
I am getting the table on Friday morning.
Thanks,
David

Re: Herzog full barrel restoration
Here is the table. I think it’s going to make a really nice top
