What would be the best way to...

Post by lemon_squeezer2 »

What would be the best way to mount a keg of beer? I am having a severe "builder's block" and I can't think of anything. Suggestions, examples, and comments on my own stupidity are welcome.

Thank you very much for any help

I assume you're meaning a Lego keg rather than full sized.

If you just want the keg to sit loosely, then lay the barrel on two 1x2 panels.

If you want a more secure mounting, try putting a 1x1 side stud brick (with a 1x1 plate on the side stud) on top of a 1x2 mod. tile with centre stud, the stick the bottom of the keg on the plate and build a cradle around that.

Sorry, no pictures.

I'd say two slopes turned so that they are facing eachother to make a V.

Take a look at Sava's barrel stand; it's the best I've seen yet.
