I acquired a 3 gallon wheat whiskey barrel last week and have been searching for a stand. seems I can only find wood stands for 5 & 10 gallons and the big metal ones for 30 & 50 gallons ones... any leads on finding a 3 gallon stand? would the 5 gallon ones work or are they too big (in length)?
I bet if you ask the dude over at Original Gravity he might help you out to build one. But the easy way would make like 4 door jams.
THe only thing really needed is a screwdriver. Wedges would keep in in place, I personally would attach them to each other across the bottom - side to side. A short piece of wood, and screw the wedge to the long piece, you're good to go. Of course, with more skill and tools a decorative stand could be made...maybe you have a friend that can help out?
yeah, I hadn't thought of the wedge option till mentioned above and I've got some scrap 2x4s to use as the base... thanks for the ideas
