cradle for barrel

Postby fizzydrink » Mon Sep 15, 2014 3:18 pm

Well i got my barrel to stop leaking. So that's a plus.
Anyone know where i can get a cheap cradle to stop it rolling around? Pref in perth?
I think it's about 20l
Cheers

Can't make one yourself? Probably the easiest, definitely the cheapest way ;-)

Plain the bottom of the barrel.

Cut a hole in ya bench top.

There pretty easy give it a go if ya don't like it chuck it in the fire. ;-)

Something like this?

If you can't build that for less than $20 and an hour I'd be very surprised :)

AND
You can make it out of oak :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Sit it on your bar, when your mates come over you can nod toward the keg and stand.... and say... "I made that" :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
