rustyshackleford Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I'm trying to design a stand for a barrel so that it lays horizontal, but so far have only drawn blanks. Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keykeeper Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) Basically, you could build something like a rack for a 55 gallon drum, except embellish as desired with twists, maybe rivet the cross supports into place. I think you would just need two semicircles attached to legs to cradle the drum, with cross bracing to make it sturdy. What will the drum be holding? If it's for wine, maybe embellish with grapevine and leaf clusters along the legs. Details, man, details..........what will it's primary purpose be, maybe more ideas would come if we know what you are trying to accomplish in the end.

ThomasPowers Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Most I have seen are just two X.s made from wood with crosspieces. The Xs usually half lapped for the joints. This is what is generally seen in LH groups for drinking water barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
