Just like the tiled table project at Christmas, this holiday break saw is take on another DIY project.

I got my grubby hands on an old wine barrel from Cave du Bon (free with a wine purchase) so we spent some time sanding it, then trying to find a jigsaw (only to find out that my jigsaw had been sitting in Colin’s garage for the last 2 years) then fighting a wonky charger that would cut out because of the crazy heatwave, then varnishing it and filling it with the hundreds of wine corks we’ve been collecting since covid (just shy of 900 as time of writing).

We’re also making a lamp out of a Jeroboam that I got from Bolle. Just need to fill it with gravel to weigh it down and then finish up with glueing the bulb holder.
