Thanks Keith, the cigar barrel was a gift from Uncle John. He said "here do something with this" so I'm hoping I did it proud, I had never seen one of these barrels before this one. As a gift from my good friend UJ and as happy as I am with the way it turned out this is one of those few amps that I have built that I won't part with anytime soon ;-)

Thanks John, I wasn't sure how to go about building a base for the barrel. It's an odd shape to make something fit to it and make it fit with a nice tight joint. I fiddle faddled with this and that and this was the final result. The handle was a last minute add on, I went to pick it up and found it a little awkward to grab sooooo a handle. I didn't read the inscription on the barrel until after I got it done, I had no idea that was how they shipped tobacky back in the day and had never heard a wooden barrel called a HogsHead?

The base and handle are inspired.
