What the Forklift and Giant Barrel Show
The forklift supports a tall barrel made from long wooden staves held together by metal bands. Its operator's cab, mast, forks, body, and wheels are visible, and a short ground line runs beneath the machine and its unusually large load.
How Wooden Barrels Hold Their Shape
Traditional barrels are assembled from shaped wooden boards called staves. Metal hoops squeeze the staves together, helping the curved container remain strong without ordinary nails along every joint. The bulging middle also makes a barrel easier to roll and turn when it is handled on the ground.
