I am thinking either TARDIS or make a big whisky barrel. Either would be
built around the power wheels chair we have.
A drivable TARDIS would be fun just to have.

This is going to be awesome. Are we still doing the TARDIS?

Barrel Roll Participation 2016
Year 3 at our Northside Barrelhouse and Whiskey Garden is just around the
corner. Outdoor drinking, sunshine... here we come.
To kick things off, as is tradition, we've begun planning our opening
week- which is where you come in. The 3rd Annual Barrel Roll is on Friday,
April 29th at 5 PM, and spans the trip between our distillery and
barrelhouse. We'll traverse across the river to land at the 2016 Opening
Party and Smoked Bourbon release.
We're seeking out the most creative partners and tasking them (you!) with
with the construction of barrel-rolling contraptions. Think parade floats-
but smaller and more rag-tag. They'll need to be able to carry a ~50 lb
emply whiskey barrel alongside your organization's representatives.
We'll travel over as a procession over the 16th St. bridge and Spring
Garden foot bridge, making a couple stops on the way for snacks and beer:
Smallman Galley, Pittsburgh Popcorn, and Penn Brewery. The barrel roll ends
at the Opening Party, where contraptions will be voted on to determine the
winner of a CASE of whiskey.
If you'd like to participate, we'd love to have you. Everyone on your
team will receive a shot of whiskey before the roll, snacks/beer along the
way, and a cocktail at the party.
Please take a moment to fill out the following form and let us know if
you're up for the task!

Those are similar to "barrels" used in horse racing

Steve, The barrels that we will be carrying are empty.
I like the Laser cut idea!
Even if they didn’t look super convincible they would still be cool!

I think we could make them out of foam core and make them roll up.

Dangit. I hate that gmail hotkey for send. Strictly
speaking this should be doable as a straight woodworking
job. A barrel is just a set of staves, two ends and a
couple rings. It can be collapsed and reassembled
relatively easily, as long as you're not expecting it to be
tight enough to hold whiskey*. (Now *that* would be a fun
stunt, and conceivably doable if you could conceal a
storage tank in the vehicle and buy that much whiskey.
You'd need a pump to fill the barrels fast enough, just use
plastic liners to keep the barrels from leaking.) A bundle
of traditional barrel staves wouldn't store compactly,
they're too three-dimensional. I wonder if we could fake
it by kerf-cutting staves with the laser out of thin
plywood, so when you unroll them, they store flat, but you
can roll them into a curved barrel shape. Steve On Tue, Feb
