Comment on Back To (old) School: Coopering by Rob Gorrell

Hi. I have also been learning to make buckets lately. If you get the itch for a midwest trip sometime, Tiller’s International teaches a great weekend class on buckets. I have put a couple of posts up about their style of buckets on my blog, robgorrell.com.

I’m glad to see what other folks are doing out there to learn some basic coopering. I hope you post more in the future.

Thanks for a wonderful account of the course and the steps in coopering – really interesting reading.
I have a book “Wooden planes and how to make them” by David G Perch & Robert S Lee which has plans for making several specialist coopering planes.
Please post up your future progress with this.

Thanks Devin- we don’t have have any images of the tops that show off the colour and grain… we probably should. They were all out of one log we had milled some years ago- we used the last of it on these tops, I wish we had some more. Time for procuring another monster maple!

Beautiful work guys…again. The combination of the various colours and textures is just outstanding, and the spalted maple tops look fantastic, any other close up shots of the tops?

You two amaze me, what a stunning piece. I love the clean lines, beautiful proportional relationships and understated contrast that make the finished piece POP. And those curves…

[...] we’re home and have had the bucket full for a few days, it’s holding water just fine. Jake seems to prefer drinking from it much than his old plastic one. And we will definitely be making [...]
