Step 4The Barrels: Measuring and Cutting
I painted the arm-pipe before worrying about the barrels, but in hindsight it would have been easier to work with if I'd painted it all at once. Hence, this step comes before the paint part.
Measure from the center of the arm-pipe to the end, and add an inch. This will be the length of your barrels. These ones turned out to be about 8.25 inches.
Cut about 16 pieces (if that is how many barrels you want) to this length and sand them down as accurately as you can. With an angle grinder, I didn't do as well as I wanted, but it isn't that noticeable.
