Nov 9th, 2019 : A Cask of Thousands
I’m not surprised the see a bar/restaurant shaped like a giant barrel in Germany.

Palatine? Darth, is that you? Quote:
...and 300 downstairs. I wonder what that chair with the single wheel and the board out the side is about? What surprised the hell out of me is it’s a real barrel, or at least it was. Quote:

I think the chair pivots in place so it doesn't become a trip hazard.

Seems to me the outrigger is a bigger hazard?? The chair back has handles on the top and the back. Maybe there's two wheels at the front lgs making it stable. But still, that outrigger?

I love it when a plan comes together.

Perhaps that chair makes the place handicap friendly in a novel way. Doesn't look like there's much room for a regular wheelchair.
Or perhaps you can reserve that chair if you know you're going to drink too much wine. They can just cart you out. Anyway, that's the place I want to be if it rains for forty days and forty nights! |

I have had no luck figuring out the plan for the apparent three-wheeled chair.
FWIW, the shadow of the wheel itself indicates it is not on the floor. |

If that's a shadow and not a skid mark, it looks like it goes all the way to the center of the wheel under the axle. Where's the light coming from? The shadow of the ladder back in on the floor behind, and the seat is over the wheel.

That chair is made from a keg-wheelbarrow. The part where the person's back goes was originally the floor of the wheelbarrow. Notice the stumps that keep the floor from lying flat on the ground, so you can still wrap your hands around the two lifting-handles after you've rolled a barrel onto the wheelbarrow.
Since the wheelbarrow is standing up at a 90-degree angle, that extra board was added to hold it up. I suspect there's another board on the other side that we can't see. Do a Google image search for "antique keg wheelbarrow" and scroll down past the arts-and-crafts photos. You'll see a couple of them in their natural state. |

Thank you, your explanation makes sense. I couldn't find one with a wheel that small or a headboard big enough for the seat, but it sounds perfectly logical.
