Bar stool

Abstract

A bar stool manufactured from empty beer kegs. The stool comprises two beer kegs pivotally connected to each other end to end. A lowermost end of one of the kegs forms a base on which the stool can rest on a planar surface. A seat pad is disposed on the uppermost end of the other of the kegs. The connection mechanism between the two kegs allows the kegs to rotate relative to each other about the longitudinal axis of the stool.
