Hi Ronald, PVA worked for me. You could try contact adhesive... apply a little to both parts, let the glue go tacky before joining the two parts together.....
Regards

Alan Hi Ronald Alan was talking about Contact Adhesive that you leave to get tacky before putting together. The only downside to contact adhesive is it you only get one go at getting it in the right place as their is no wriggle room if it's wrong. Hope this helps Martyn Building ?

Have you thought of pushing two planking pins into one barrel, cut off the heads, align the barrels on the bench and push them together to make a mark on the second barrel, drill into second barrel, add some superglue (just a couple of dabs) push them back together again and job is done.
Alternatively, make a "biscuit" as per a joiner would use and do a similar thing to above. That should keep them together.
I am sure there are lots of alternative methods that will be suggested.
