Stave construction is a great way to make cylinders without needing to buy large dimension wood. This is a simple method very easily accomplished. Want to support my channel? www.buymeacoff...
Wow, that is an old one, Glen. I believe that was the second video I did. I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for watching, Glen! You are much appreciated, my friend. Stay safe and healthy!!

Excellent, Gord, thank you. My method is similar to yours, but I have been ripping the stave segments along the table saw rip fence. I now recognize the benefit of cutting them on a sled. Bill
Very well thought out process and well described. Thank you. I have a different application that this will work nicely with. Its close to what I was doing but yours has a couple extra steps that will make the end result a better product.
+Ernie Zamora I have never tried barrel staves, Ernie. I'm sure there must be a few videos on TH-cam showing the process but I have never looked for them. I hope you find something that helps. .....Gord
Don't know how I missed this video, but glad I was going through and watched it. As always I learned something from you, thanks, I'll definitely give this a try.

Hi Gord, After following the way you made this stave construction I've made a few pencil/pen "cups" that look like wooden buckets,,,,with a steel handle too! This got me thinking about making a wine barrel and after watching just about every video here and looking on the web I'm finding that making a wine barrel isn't all that easy to do and have a lot of respect of Coopers now! I did find one video on how to do the math for stave construction but that math is WAY over my head! LOL Do you have any ideas on how to "easily" calculate barrel staves? Thanks for this and all of your videos! Tom
Sorry,Tom, I have never even tried to do that. I may have to look for that video and see if I can figure it out. I'm sorry I'm not any help right now! Maybe some day in the future. I hope you figure out before I do. Thanks for following my channel. I really appreciate the support. I would like to see those cups with the steel handles! Did you do a video on them? 😀😀 Happy turning, .....Gord
@@GordonRock1 Thanks for trying to help me! No videos of any of my work,,, I never knew barrels were such a complicated process, especially the math! Tom
The math isn’t that hard =. A circle is 360degrees Ok for a 10inch bucket you will have 10 staves which has 2 sides 10x2= 20. 360 divided 20 = 18. the angle on each side is 18
+Juan Gómez Hi Juan, I'm glad you find the video helpful! If I was to mount it on the lathe I would use a large chuck because it is not too large to do that. If it were a much larger cylinder I would have to make a chuck of some kind for it. If I had enough length to waste some of it I would make sure the end was square and then probably use hot glue to attach it to a glue block. Thanks for watching, Juan. Take care, .....Gord
One can use a blank and make a tenon on that and glue it on the end, just making sure it's centered before the glue dries!👍 Then just put the tenon in the chuck, and remove the blank afterwards!
Well, Ken, if I’m in my late 20s now I must’ve been in my early teens back then! 😂🤣😂🤣 That sure feels like a long time ago, my friend. Thanks for watching!
nice video Gord, very clear, but, what if you want to make not a cilinder but a barrel? staves won´t be straight? do you know how to make them? regards
Sorry, Carlos, it's not something I have ever tried. I'm sure there must be TH-cam videos showing how. It just isn't something that interests me. Take care, .....Gord
Ritgar001 It depends on what you want to do with it. I generally put mine in a chuck using either expansion or compression depending on the size of chuck needed and what I have. You could also use a jam chuck if you wanted to. Part of the joy of woodturning for me is the challenge of coming up with a way to hold things on the lathe; there is usually more than one way to do something. Sorry if this isn't a great answer but there are so many variables - size of cylinder you've created, size of chuck(s) you have, etc. Hope this helps!!!
I just want to do it safely. I had had ceder fly apart on my lathe and smash around. I do know glue is much stronger than wood though so I guess it should be fine. I'll give it a shot.
Ritgar001 I hope it works out for you. ALWAYS wear a face shield!! I've had things fly apart and if not for my face shield I would have been in the emergency room on at least one occasion. Safety first!!!
Gordon Rock Yea. I have heard about getting a face shield I just haven't yet I am always out of the direct line of fire though. I haven't been doing much on my lathe recently since I have been doing my first few boxes with miter joints on the table saw. It turned out so-so I should probably lightly sand it and do one more coat of poly, but a few small details are off that I need to fix next time. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=950585308301786&set=pcb.950585714968412&type=1&theater
Ritgar001 Thanks for sharing the photo. That's a decent-looking box and every future box will be just a little bit better. If the first one you built was perfect how would you improve? The joy is in the doing, more than in the product; at least that's how I feel about it.
Hi Gord. I have used your stave cutting method before but I am now trying to make wooden buckets (coopering). I have a method for cutting one taper/bevel that works to make only one size of bucket but I wish to make different size units and don't want to waste expensive wood experimenting. I was hoping you had a method for stave cutting to vary all the possible sizing (top/bottom diameters) possible. Thanks for your consideration. Alan
Jean MacHardy Hi Alan. I'm sorry but I've never tried making anything but straight cylinders with staves. I would assume someone out there has a chart for this but I don't know where to look for it. I hope you can find it. Sorry Alan, .....Gord

what if you wanted to make the staves wider in the middle to get a particular effect how can the all be made the same but slightly wider in the middle

What is a good way to mount that on a lathe? I don't really have a lot of bells and whistles to mine. Maybe some way to use a jaw or something?
