I bought the barrel from Hern as well as some fairly illegible blueprints for the carriage that I endeavored to follow. I am not a particularly handy guy, being born, as a friend of mine says, with boxing gloves on, so I am feeling a little proud of myself for having finally gotten it together. Tuesday we are planning a little dedication ceremony, with all due devotion to the blessed St. Barbara, along with some brats and potato salad. Invited are the fine gentlemen (all very handy guys) who helped me along the way. Now that I can post a picture without getting a vapor lock, I hope to soon share the fun.
