  • 55 gallon plastic barrel ideas

    I always have one or two of these around, but haven't decided what to do with them yet.

    That is a NICE looking bunch of meat!

    I can still find a use for my thumb, even though it no longer has a hole to finger.

    I could have been enjoying his nuts.

    Love the lawn furniture! Might have to try the log skid.

    Told my buddy I would take as many plastic barrels as he can get. They cut them in half and throw them in the dumpster at his farm.

      You could always fill them up with brass, but you'll need more than a few. Just ask Sailor Jerry LMAO....

        Yeah no thanks, that would be a heavy barrel! Besides, I mostly shoot cheap steelcase ammo, other than the .22lr. lol

        I was thinking of burying one in the backyard and putting a pump in it to make a mini fountain/pond. I only have a 1/4 acre lake lot, so no room for anything much bigger if I want any lawn. Of course it's kind of redundant since I live on a lake. I could build the boat in the link above but I already have a canoe, which would work a lot better than that contraption.

            I'd recommend about 10lbs of Tannerite under each one.

                    If you put the tannerite on top of one, and stick the second one on top of that, some crazy neighbor lady might come complaining about the noise.

                      I think adding an aerator and making a live bait well would be a great use.

                        Some good ideas here! Keep them coming.

                        I wonder if the live bait well idea would have made it through the whole winter without completely freezing solid. The frost line went pretty deep this year.

                          cut top off, install rope handles use for garage garbage can, kindling wood storage, rainwater, helping people move, scrap bucket for butchering deer, storing firewood in house for a pending and prolonged snowstorm, and yes maybe some brass!

                          I have halfed them, installed a thru hull fitting, filled with hot water and hoisted in a tree, attach hose and its a camp shower. Use cut off top and drill holes in-this is the shower base you stand on. The water section can also be used as a boat winterizing tank, loaned out and never returned!!

                          Planks on two or sheet of plywood and its a table, fill with water as a lawn roller. There is more to come....

                          The best is what kids will do besides indoor basketball
                          I'm confused!!!!!
