FURNITURE: DRUM STOOL
There are many ways to convert old metal drums or chemical barrels into something more useful. With the right idea, these over-sized cans can be turned into an armchair, a side table with a hidden bookshelf, or even a simple barbecue grill. Given the small size of this old drum I had, it was the perfect size for a stool that doubles as a side table with hidden storage. Starting off with the rusty top, it was replaced with a removable lid made of wood planks and finished with a clear coat of lacquer. Next was a quick clean of the drum body and a coat of lacquer as well to keep the can clean to the touch and prevent further corrosion. Lastly, a couple of right sized ball casters give this stool the mobility I need to move it and use it wherever I want. I now have a multi-functional industrial piece that sits perfectly well beside my cozy couch.
