Thank you so much for the quick reply, the excellent pictures and description!
I turned some bolts on a metal lathe for my rudder pintals on Serapis, but they took forever! Your steps seem much easier (a bag of nails in an hour) make mass production possible! I will be giving this a shot as my build progresses.
Wow,wiw,wow…fantastic

Hi, I have a question....

I believe the ships carpenter may have cut a supply of wedges/chocks that the sailors hammered into place to stabilize the barrels. See photo below:
Your idea of the ships ballast being used to chock or secure the barrels may have also worked well!
The way you built the barrels, without the internal frame provided by the manufacturer, is amazing!!! Mine have the framework provided, inside each barrel.

Hi Brad,
Wedges will work fine in wine cellar without additional support. I'm thinking sailors would have to strap any cargo including barrels with ropes or net to prevent dislocation during rough sea.
I only made a few barrels without supplied internal framing. I'm thinking to have couple open barrels with the lid beside "freestanding" on the deck above...

I love this idea of open an open barrel, maybe one with a ladle for water (or rum ration)?
Take a look at Karls alias @Jeronimo cross section
There were the Ballst stones at the bottom and between the barrels they filled the gaps with fire-wood
