The fact that you ended up with a full stave at the end accidently, is one of the most Jimmy things that I've ever seen

There's a formula for the bevels. Take the number of staves and divide by 180 and that will give you the bevel angle. Good work!

The "Cooper" (barrel maker) was such a necessary member of a crew during the Age of Sail, they were often impressed in to service with crews along with the Surgeon. Your problem-solving in your projects is an inspiration.

Kind of emotional to see you making this wooden tub, I used to help my father building this kind of wooden tubs, but bigger. We never used glue or epoxy and imagine that you need to make a progressive bevel when you work with longer planks. My dad was the master. To find the proper angle for your bevels you need to make a tool using the diameter and the radius of the tub, you know, the angle of the bevels must converge in the center of the tub from top to bottom, hope you understand... Here in Transilvania were i live we use this big wooden tubs for fermenting plumes in the process of making palinca :)

Just watched Laura Kampf and she called this Intuitive Building! Always love to see the thought process and trial and error.

There's a guy up the road from me in Australia who makes architectural wooden bathtubs (business is called "Wood and Water"). I've no idea how he calculates the constantly changing angles, but the results are spectacular. He literally ships them all over the world.

I loved it when the bucket came apart but not in a malicious way, more of a that’s the sort of thing I’d do 😂 .love you work as usual

The way they make barrels is to heat the metal bands before they drive them in place so that when the band cools it shrinks and locks the staves in place. This is like how you heat the metal tyre for a wooden wheel.

Jimmy I was an engineer for a red wood water tank company and the angled sides was very hard to get right so was the an oval double headed wine aging tank. We also did cooling towers, wine tanks and hot tubs. Retired now. If you want to try a tank the hoop lug are at Mc master Carr. Before my time we had built and installed a120” Dia. water aqueduct for a dam.

Jimmy your instinctive engineering hit on a lot of the tricks we used to to assemble the hot tubs on note on the hoops to form a solid water tight joint the stave to bottom fit, the lowest hoop needs to rest on top of the chime joint (the bevel joint you cut in to the bottom edge). Well done Jimmy.

Watching your videos reminds me of childhood, in the sense that me and my brother were always crafting something in our dad's workshop when we were kids. And then dad built something awesome for us. Thank you for sharing your work and ideas, Jimmy. Love from Denmark.

Long time viewer Jimmy, love your new style! Please keep up the commentary I learn so much 😅 . Love listening to the podcasts thanks

That turkey version of "I take a your womannnn!" was excellent.

Thank you to Jimmy and Frank and every woodturner and maker and creator that expands my wooden tub of knowledge. It's not just entertainment , it is power. Knowledge is power

Loved “Hammered!” I might have to find it again and binge watch. Love hearing your thinking process as you work through different projects. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey!

I've been subscribed to Jimmy for almost a decade now and I still can't wrap my head around the fact that he puts his name on EVERYTHING he owns.. more than once and sometimes less than a dozen times

Jimmy! You never cease to amaze me! A true inspiration for the many years i've been watching you on KZread!

Live this video, Jimmy, although I'm a bit behind the release. There is a pretty simple method to determine the angles, using a compass and straightedge. I can share instructions if anyone has interest. Thanks for keeping us infotained!

Fantastic to watch this process. While unique compared to traditional methods it was fascinating to watch this come together. Just think, it wasn't all that long ago where we still relied on barrels made by coopers for shipping goods that now come in metal or plastic containers. Thanks for sharing!

This is so great! Such a cool process to see come together!

thank you sir for showing us your work

love the project, the compound angles on projects like this really bent my mind when I tried something similar. it's good to see how you work through the problems.

Would be cool sometime when you are in Louisville for you to tour the barrel making place and see how they do it in production. I bet they have some specialized machines for cooperage.

Great result Jimmy, some things are better done by feel and eye than with a load of complex geometry, the original ones were never "perfect" and certainly not uniform ! For anyone who hasn't seen it there a great video by George Smithwick from NSW on traditional bucket making - real old-school craftsman !

Fabulous construction: Eye & hand honed by years of endeavors creating magnificence. So inspiring, motivating & encouraging! Thank you for sharing!

Love the process! So good to Seea Chippie cameo!

Your build weas great and brings me back to a video I wartch while teaching indistrial Education call "Ben's mill"

Awesome build. Wonderful tub indeed.

I used to know a professional cooper, he passed away only a few years ago. He also had a small distillery and a shop, but he continued to fix barrels, buckets, tubs people have in their sauna and whatnot. Definitely requires knowledge and practice.

I think part of what made old barrels water proof was the water itself swelling the wood to make tighter joints. There's a small town near me that still has a wooden water tank made similar to this. When it was drained for inspection, it shrank back a bit and had everyone worried it wouldn't be water tight again. But it swelled again as it was being filled. Of course, with a vessel that large, the weight and pressure might also play a part in tightening things up.

Next project?? A barrel for Diresta branded single malt!! Thank you for sharing Jimmy.

Now that was a fantastic tub build Jimmy! I always learn something from the way you explain and solve problems in order to make it work. Thanks! 👍👍🔨🔨

Beautiful tub Jimmy 🙌 great hearing your thought processes 💪 cheers Rob

This was incredible! Your flow in building this was neat to watch.

Great film. Nice narration. Awesome bucket. Mahalo for sharing! : )

Really interesting to see your thought process through this. Enjoy this format.

I’ve been distracted with life and hadn’t watched a Diresta video in a while, but I’m so thankful for Nick Offerman for introducing me to Jimmy.

The number of times Diresta tells us not to do something he is doing is a testament to his skill and confidence in the shop

Great build as always! Most coopered tanks and buckets will leak until soaked and then swell tight. IIRC, the tanks on top of many NYC buildings are coopered.

One more item off the bucket list.... 😉👍

Awesome work as usual, love the way you fanangled the angles 😄 Think I’ll stave off making one though 😁

Excellent work Jimmy. Well done

Thanks for talking us through your process, really interesting and educational 👌🙂

Beautiful work as usual! Not a video I didn’t like! Thanks always for sharing and teaching us new things and not to be afraid of trying

wonderful looking barrel. just like the way you knocked it together really quickly and how you used repurposed wood to make it.

Very impressive to think back to where your workshop started to where you are today. Keep working hard and learning new things Jimmy. Your drive is encouraging to many!

Nice job Mr. Cooper!

I imagine that when Jimmy was a kid someone sat in his favorite chair and when he said "hey that was my chair!" they said "Its yours? i dont see your name on it". And from that day forward....

Amazing build! I thought the turkey at 20:40 was wearing a wireless mic 🤣

Amazing Jimmy!!! 🔥👏👍

Very interesting to see you just wing it and compare to old timers like Keith Engels who has been doing it for about 50 years.

That's Very Cool & Impressive Jimmy. Nice Work. I LO❤️E watching you Make! 👍👍

I was at an auction in chrisney, in. The guy had a bunch of antique cooper tools, even the circular plane for inside barrel rim. Should have bought it all.

Ill never make a wooden barrel but I really enjoy watching your method of making one!

Hi Jimmy. Nice job building the wooden tub! You said that you weren't necessarily building it to be watertight, but it looks like it is, from the video with your turkeys. It is beautiful and I'll bet it was a pretty challenging project to make. I would think that getting the angles right from board to board was tricky.

Beautiful piece, Don Diresta, you godfather of makers!

There’s a good article about making buckets, baskets and such in the Foxfire books

Love seeing the process

Awsome 👍 beautiful work, Sir🙏

Determine circumference of lower circle and upper circle. Then divide each by the number of desired pieces of wood used. Theres your upper/lower wood widths. No need to mess with angles.

Pretty amazing work, Jimmy! It looks amazing!!! 😃 With some epoxy it shouldn't be hard to make it water tight! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I really enjoy the running commentary

Very good, enjoyed that one

I signed up Jimmy!

Jimmy you got this it’s just like the wooden bucket you made years ago. Looks really nice from the picture.

@@cmmartti Mate, the r is still pronounced, I said closer to "bin", not as bin, it's more about the reduced emphasis on the "born". As an Australian who lived 20 years in Melbourne, I have a vague idea how it is pronounced.

@@krazed0451 I didn't say the R wasn't pronounced in your accent, just that in rhotic accents (like most of North America) Rs are pronounced, fully. You have a good idea about how Australians pronounce the word, but that has little bearing on what others perceive to be the correct pronunciation. For example, in Toronto they usually say something more like "chur-onn-oh", but everywhere else (including in other parts of Canada) it's often pronounced like "toe-ron-toh". Both pronunciations are correct.

Excelente 👏👏 Eu faria essas cintas ajustáveis... Igual abraçadeira. 👍😎👍

You did an outstanding job on that tub. Do you think a cove and bead milled into the edges of the staves would have helped make it more water tight? Learned something new about making a metal ring/hoop today. Thank you.

Another awesome video!

Great job, new challenge, a wash tub, and scrub board, all with just hand tools. 😊 na too easy for you sir.

we say it like "Melbin" Here in Perth, West Aus, Uncle DiResta 😁😅

Very NICE

Thanks for bringing us along on this one. I really enjoyed it!

Trials and Tribulations appropriate words for this day in time !

Excelente trabajo!!!

Is that turkey in the thumbnail wearing goggles? It definitely gave me a good chuckle! I suspect it's an optical illusion, but if you just give it a quick glance it looks like huge eyes.

I can see why a “Cooper” was such a highly skilled job. Also, barrels weren’t always water tight. A “slack cooper” made barrels for dry goods like nails while the more skilled (and better paid) “tight cooper” made barrels that could hold liquids. When you were putting something as valuable as whiskey in it you wanted it made by the best.

Very cool

Impressive

That old Tom was telling you he didn’t like you messing with his hen. And he was ready to do battle if needed. 🦍

I know of one company that makes barrel staved hot tubs for soaking in. They’re obviously bigger, and they are held together with rope. Any leaks will be sealed with the swelling of the wood. The company also sells a submersible wood burning stove for heat. Talk about going green!

Спасибо, как всегда круто!

Consider making a drum kit. Drums, hardware, cymbals, and seat.

Barrels and kegs were the cardboard box of their day. All sorts of sizes and constructions.

After 50+ years, I still regularly use my table saw for a worktop.

Nice

Very interesting video Jimmy. Could anything be learned from acquiring a wine barrel and dismantling it?

0:06 "this is something that's been on my list"... Would. You say that it's a bucket list?

Does anyone know where I can watch "Trash to Cash"? I really liked that show but I've been unable to dig up any leads on where to watch it.

Like I said on Patreon at 14:11 I did not laugh but felt bad for you Nice job Jimmy.
