I think it’s a shame that yours was not blogged here.
However, the use of a 45 degree slope brick to create a 45 degree slope and the use of a 2×2 round brick to create something round are hardly novel concepts. If you look closely, his barrel is all 2×2 round bricks, while yours uses some 2×2 round plates, a wheel hub, and some hinges. If anything, I would say the 1×4 brick with the slot in it is the most relevant similarity between the two.

And I know the details are different but what I meant was that the basic build of this one, use of slopes, construction of barrel etc. It’s not similar, it’s the same.

Mocpages says 2006, but I actually built the thing several years before that!
