The Romans told me to look for a blue industrial barrel to make the perfect rounded Roman shield. I see them all over the place, construction sites et al., but I have no idea where I can find one to purchase. If any of you know where I can get one, please let me know by about the middle of June.
I also need to find a leather supply store somewhere so I can get some rivets and small strips of leather for my armor. Any good ones near the NE side of Indy? or perhaps in Lafayette?
plzkthxbye

The barrels you are talking about... the only ones I know of are the kind the syrup for carbonated drinks comes in, has a huge yellow biohazard emblem on the side of them, and would need to be cleaned several times before use. You could probably get one of those fairly cheap, if not free by going to a Coke or Pepsi bottling plant and asking them about the barrels.

Kick ass!!! Gravein, that's perfect as long as they're the same type of material and relatively cylindrical, black would actually be better. If you can get me one or two I'll sacrifice 50 sheep to your gods (and pay you). Thank you thank you thank you in advance.

The Indy's in May.
And they aren't exactly the sort of thing you can just roll up to at night and toss in the back of a truck. There's always a lot of traffic around the Indy, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for those.
Edit: I do not support the thievery of traffic barrels. Further Edit: Not on public forums, at least.

They're not traffic barrels, and I'll pay for them if I can, but Lowe's doesn't carry them so there are few alternatives.

My suggestion would be to go down to plainfield by 70W and check out a couple of the new warehouses under construction. I worked on one over the winter and we get those barrels all the time. most of the time we just use them for trash or throw them away. If you ask someone on the site, you can probably get them for free. If they say no, come back at night. Nobody cares. we throw them away anyway. MacDimm

I would say any construction company would have them, or at least know where to get one if they cann't give/sell you one.

THe way you do it is get 2 people in the bakc of a pick-up and drive right next to the barrels...jump out put 10 in and GET THE **** OUT! Me and my brest firend and his older brother do this all the time with traffic cones...we did it when the construction guys were working once...SOOOO much fun. You guys shouold try it sometime.
Edited for language.
