Will you write a book on barrel making? Thanks for identifying a Sun plane. I was given one but had no idea what it was called. I will watch this often there is so much information.
WOW!!!!! What an amazing History & Tutorial on Barrel Making. I was asked to make a barrel and being a retired machinist, I knew the staves taper at the ends. I didn't know how to decide how much to taper the staves. I knew how to divide a circle into sections, but the simple knowledge to divide by 2 gives the angle for each side of the staves. I'm not trying to make a wet barrel, just something that looks like that type of barrel. This video has been a great help to me. Even still; it's not an easy thing to make. The barrel bands must be cone shaped; it's not just a straight strip of metal, and that's another challenge in it self.
Plenty of good stories in this video, although the Egyptians used barrels 3000 years ago, research the word COUP to hold or keep, BUT a huge usage was for gunpowder. DRY + WET + WHITE coopers were the trades when I was young.
John Cox is amazing! I loved every minute. Thank you for sharing:)
Our pleasure!

عمل ممتاز
Amazing, great presentation. So happy I found this
While traveling back to my base around lager lechfeld in Germany, had lunch in a wine barrel turned into a cafe on Rhine river.

Egyptians? With what wood?
Do you have the plans to build staves for barrel ? Thank you
Why are barrels burned ?
The char adds both flavor and color to the finished product!
