44 gallon drum cocktail cabinet
« on: August 15, 2014, 02:03:55 am »
Had a multiboard laying around and thought I would do something different to the regular style cocktail cabinets, I was about to make a fire drum out of a 44 gallon drum when I thought hang on a minute...

Any way here's what I came up with took a lot of thought cos I didn't want to ruin the aesthetics of the drum, shortening the drum wasn't easy either.
needs a paint job.

It's like a post-apocolyptic Barrel-of-Kong!

This is great, fantastic use of material.

Nice job! I'd be tempted painting it bright yellow and putting a radiation symbol on it  :)

Sweet!  While paint would spruce it up, it has a certain something to it left as is.
