You’ll want to go back at that point and watch the whole thing. At 20:55 he uses a wooden tool to compress the edges of the bottom piece, to improve the water-tightness. Does that tool have a name?

That's just a burnisher, is it not? Glen |

I made a couple of buckets for my daughter so I found the video pretty interesting. I used a stick like that to gauge the thickness of the bottom before I fit them together. No fancier name than stick. I doweled and glued the staves together and thought it was cheating for lack of skill. Was heartened to see journeymen do the same. Phil Sent from my HTC |

It seems to me he's actually significantly compressing the edge to fit in the groove in the sidewall (whatever that's called), pre-loading it in a sense to fill the groove dry - even before milk or water hit it. You can see the ridge he creates at 21:10. FWIW Don -- The harder they come, the bigger they fall - Ry Cooder |

I for one was totally knocked out by this video. I hadn't seen it, and it was like ....YEAH! Oh this guy is soooo one of us......... Spits on the dowel,.......... damn. I am cheering all the way through. Is this a Galoot or what? .........a shave horse, with a backup bib around his neck for the odd stuff? and making it look so fluid........ Could you kill him or what? The finished bucket was beyond imagination. It seems most if not all of the wood was fairly soft and he was using something very hard (I was thinking boxwood?) with a notch in it, to roll down the edge of the bottom. He shaved it oversized and then rubbed it down to size with the hard block. I remember watching Klause hammer a wire into a piece of wood, and then plane it back off. But when it got wet the compressed wood "remembered", and swelled back up to seal. I expect it was something like that. yours scott ******************************* Scott Grandstaff Box 409 Happy Camp, Ca 96039 scottg@s... http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/sgrandstaff/ http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/hpages/index.html |

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh! I have got to find one of those T-handled gimlet bit drills with the large outer spur! That thing was fantastic! Watching the man work was amazing. The control with the drawknife, the certainty with which he cuts pieces by eye...all that could only come from thousands of coopered pieces. I really enjoyed this! Brent Sent from my iPad |

That's Ruedi Kohler, that taught Drew Langsner coopering and set him on his woodworking path back in the 70s. There is an article about him in FWW #40 (May/June 1983). Not many articles about coopering out there, really, and this is one of the better ones. Speaking of Drew Langsner, did anyone else see that he is retiring from teaching and closing down Country Workshops. I had wanted to take a class there but will never get a chance. I do have a nice stack of riven white oak drying in the back yard that will hopefully be turned into a wooden bucket by the end of the summer. Not sure which summer, but one of these summers soon!

According to Peter Follansbee, someone in Maine is picking up where Mr. Langsner is leaving off. https://pfollansbee.wordpress.com/2017/02/12/passing-the-baton-country- workshops-the-maine-coast-craft- school/">https://pfollansbee.wordpress.com/2017/02/12/passing-the-baton-country- workshops-the-maine-coast-craft-school/ Dennis |
