Fire Pit Furniture with some Euro-Pallets

I have made them with “Cinema 4D” to play with the individual parts. I will rebuild one or the other for real.

Here is another 3D Render of some kegs.Based on a keg, of a brewery in germany. From the “Kurfürsten Bräu AG Bonn”.
The “kurfürstliche “brewing tradition ends on 31.Dezember 2011 in Bonn, after 321 Years.
