    wood barrel rings

    Is anybody knows how to easy/difficult to remove metal rings from wine barrel?
    I have an old wine barrel I want to make a side table, but I want to remove a few rings, not all of them.
    And another question - if I remove all rings barrel will felt a parts? Any kind of joints between woods?
    Thank you,
    Ed.

    The rings are what holds the staves of the barrel together, if you remove the rings (hoops) the barrel falls apart. There are no joints holding the staves together.

    Drill some holes and install screws in to the hoops you plan to leave on. That will help to hold it together.
