- There are three kinds of churns namely : - a barrel, an end and a dash churn. The churn we have is a barrel churn. There is a frame under it. There are two handles in it and there are two beaters inside in it. There are two wheels under it so as it can go around. The churn takes a half an hour to make. If a stanger came in while we would be making the churn he would make a "dreas" of it
