I want to make a table out of an old barrel.I do have a glass top to put on but I need to put wood under it because the holes in the glass are to wide spread to fasten to top of Barrel.also I would like to paint a checker board or some kind of game on the board.I have wheels attached to the bottom and plan on putting hooks on side to hang folding stools.or purse when sitting.any Ideas?
