Two is one, and one is none! So true with so many things. That's the cutest little bucket I've ever seen, Ken. Good job.

Ken as always a great 👍 pleasure watching you and kyia in the workshop 😮😊❤

Hi Ken. Well done with the bucket & the wishing well.

Ken you are awesome! Next build show us how we could put a bottom on our buck so our wishes don’t pour out of the bottom 😊😁👏love the little buck add.

Kind of a mini well house. The bucket is the perfect size for that well.

Great job, Ken. I like it when you don't hide the mistakes. Makes it more real on what can happen. I have a complete wood shop. Dont use it as much as I use too. My wife has used it for a storage place. I'm involved in the car hobby now. I have a 32 Ford street rod.

Never thought about what it took to be cooper until I watched the Hands documentary videos showing Irish craftsmanship

I love the 2x4 challenge. We learn by watching and errors made are great teachers. Keep showing us more and those that chose can try their hand at it.

It's fun watching a framing carpenter learning woodworking. Great attempt on the bucket try. That would be a challenge to almost all of us. That "chatter" from the planer is called snipe. Invest in a Grr-ripper for those fine cuts on the table saw. Push sticks that close are dangerous.

Sending a virtual penny for the wishing well🪙Have a very nice day Ken .... take care 🐕✏📐🪚✌🏻👣

Nice build Ken! Somehow I am reminded of my old school days way back with the song “ there’s a hole in the bucket dear Georgie, dear Georgie” 😮😊

Excellent saw lesson. I'm glad you left that in. Nice job!

Now it has everything. What a great job you did. It could be a functioning well. I don't think most people would go that far for a decoration. BUT you are not most people, attention to detail matters to you, the professional. Nice.

Nice compliment to the wishing well. We all learned a lot in this simple build, including yourself, right? Appreciate you keeping your misadventures in the video so we all learn.

It came out a bit small, but it turned out great! 😁 I learned (the hard way) about compound angles, when I made my first bucket with tapered sides. I was under the impression that you set the miter angle and the bevel angle to what you think they should be, but it didn't even come close to working. 😮 I look forward to seeing your cooper skills grow as you continue your fun series of the 2x4 challenges! Great job, Ken! 👍

Nice little bucket, thanks Ken!

I haven't done all of the math, but that 2x4 could have been made into 16 pieces (instead of 12) and with different cuts that would be a larger bucket. Taking all of the staves and running them over a rabbit blade or router table would give you a notch to inset a wooden bottom before gluing. Trim the outside with a band or two of copper flashing.

Nicely done my friend 🌴😎

Well Ken...from eighth grade wood shop....... The hole in the dowel is the "anchor hole" and this hole is the size of the screw shaft.....The hole in the one by is the "pilot" hole and this hole is the size of the outside of the threads....vintage 1957 8th grade wood shop.....lol

I am looking forward to the evolution of Ken's Bucket up until it takes on it's final form that only Ken will determine. How far is he willing to take the Bucket development? Will he flame treat the interior like a wooden barrel, will he use water to swell the bucket into a tight seal, will he just settle for a hand carved wooden ladle and give up on the bucket....time will tell.

Viking beer mug. Lol. As always great job Ken. God bless you guys....

Bucket makers are I believe are called (COOPERS), lots of fun to make. Next project try making rain barrel. love your videos Ken.

Great video. I've always used a circular saw blade in my table saw for these types of projects less saw curf smoother cuts and blades are way cheaper than a 10". Saw is a lot quieter too.

For a bucket with about a 9" diameter (and 12 staves) you could cut the pieces around 2 3/8" wide. For a 12" wide bucket about 3 1/8" wide (12 staves). In case you want to redo. 😃. I like the tape method. You could use that messed up small bucket 1/2 to hold something on the wall. Just put the shredded part against the wall and no one will see it.

Very nice! The tape technique is very smart. The second bucket can perhaps be salvaged by turning it in a lathe to take just enough from the damaged outer side off - makes a downlight lamp shade or so, mounted inside the roof of the wishing well ;-) just to keep it simple ;-)

Bless you for using the push stick.

I grew up on a farm we didn't have water in house we had to draw water from well and bring it into the house in buckets I kinda miss them good old days

Ken just love watching you Brilliant once again

You know what they say about ‘in theory’? “In theory theory and practice are closer together than in practice.”

I've made a bucket that held water. The hard part is getting the bands on and making them stay in place for a tapered bucket. I haven't tried a barrel yet.

My wife asked me to make her a wishing well last year with a bucket like yours. However, instead of a 2x4, I used a picket fence so the diameter of the bucket was bigger. Maybe it was a picket fence challenge on my part. Lol.

Ken it’s great to watch you making your “prototype” bucket (so if you wanted a bigger Mk2 version your calculations would be much easier). I guess that’s how many famous inventors worked! 👌😁

I was hoping you'd make a big enough bucket to winch Kaiya up in it lol. ... Seriously, love this, I think the bucket is actually in good proportion to the well. You'll soon have a kids playground in your Kenstead you could charge admittance for, maybe boost that pension and bring some joy to some Littles!*! 😁❤

Awesome

Great work making a cylinder aka bucket for the first time. A little seat for your grandkids out of a 2x4.

Fun bucket challenge. Cutest darn bucket too!!❤

Cool video idea with the 2x4 challenge! And hey, now we all know what we can do with 1/2 a 2x4!!

Enjoyed that! So creative.

Okay you can still use the broken bucket. It looks like he was used a lot

The bucket looked to small in the shop but appears to be to scale in the wishing well.

All very interesting, especially the bevel app!! I don't trust my saw gauge either

Awesome , can't wait 😊

Love the little bucket ❤

Gooooooood afternoon, Ken! It might be small, but it's a very cool looking bucket! :)

I like your singing Ken! Do you want to build a "bucket" instead of snowman? Have you seen Frozen a few times? That's neat that you're building the bucket out of one 2x4 stud and doing it with 12 staves. That's nice that you can use your phone to set the 15 degrees. The bucket did turn out small but it looks nice. Cutting it in half I think will make it look more in proportion to the wishing well. This was fun to watch Ken. Oops, the cut didn't go as planned. Too bad it split the handle. Nice when you got it all put together with the crank, rod, rope, and bucket. Thanks for this video Ken!

Great project!

Oh yes it was wonderful project

Making the staves tapered from top to bottom would be the next challenge😅

Your bucket looks similar to the soft drink cup holders that I made a few years ago. My staves were about or about 3/16's thick and tapered. It looked similar to your bucket. Try again you'll get her done. Practice is a good teacher. Thanks for the video.

That is so cute.

Good work, and looks great 😌😊

Sweet. God bless.

You need to multiply Pi x Dia. to get the circumference and then divide that to establish the amount of segments and there widths required. Hope I helped or you got it figured out already.

There must be some math that would give you the final diameter of a bucket. I never did barrels and buckets but have a deep respect for those who do. Indeed cooperage is a fine practiced art in wood working. Your starter level bucket ended up to be a Norm Abram level build. Maybe you could have consulted with Chad he is good with that fine woodwork stuff. I do have experience in fixing cut problems on different machines. I'm not familiar with that blade "chatter" you have, that you showed after the planner. I suppose it could be a blade lock down problem on the planner. Smaller bites and more times through might help that. I have seen blade wobble on a table saw (where the saw blade resonates with the tooth spacing and cut speed which pushes the blade side to side) and bought blade supports to fix that. This happens in metal but I have never seen it in wood. To tell you the truth your chatter looks like what we called walking. Wood has a tendency to be sticky along the surfaces of the saw deck and guide. This is one of the reasons the high end saws have cast steel tops and not aluminum. You can help prevent this on aluminum with dry lube sprays and use of finger boards while making rip cuts. Though she only made a few photo bombs in the video, I'm sure Kiya was a big help as always. Nice to see the chicks hopping around in the background too. I'm sure you will be glad to get the in the coop this Spring. I hope you had a wonderful Easter and got to see all the friends and family you could.

And, the one you ruined, you can still sand it, and put handle on it, it will make perfect beer mug !!!=) Dont throw it away!!

Great videos Ken enjoy your videos

If I see you pulling up that bucket with a quarter keg. Now that b funny!

@ 4:35 go to table saw right now ! put the bevel on the whole stud Now, so not to have to do twelve separate pieces

No matter how experienced we are in the things we do we always make a mistake. No matter how good or old we are we still learn from our mistakes.

I’m thinking a beer or soda can would fit in your bucket and be a nice surprise.

Hey Ken, I have a suggestion for the name of your challenge. It’s “ What can a Stud make with one 2x4?” 😂 What do ya think? Pretty awesome to me……..😅

Do you think Elmers wood glue is better or worse than Tite Bond 3 glue ? From what i have seen most furniture builders prefer tite bond 3 for outdoor use. That is the tiniest bucket i have seen for a wishing well. I guess it is good for Leprechauns. That is a cute bucket. Nice work.

Now, I've added making a bucket to my bucket-list. haha Have a GREAT day.

Unkle Ken, Diameter is 2pi r which with a 12” bucket would be 37.699” or 3’ 1 11/16” that would be 50 and 1/4 (3/4 inch pieces)

My grandpa built one at our house, just before he pass.

A 2x4 challenge! I bet I can make a 2x4 disappear and make a pile of sawdust 😊

❤Very nice🙏🙂

i think the reason why they don't call it a 3 and 1/2 by 4 is like saying we have a volunteer tax code not exactly the truth but sounds good also put a handle on make a mug but watch glue ten bad for you but now watching the hole video how about cup instead of mug

Can you show us how to make the well? I would love to learn.

Nice!

Well done, like the Idea, althoug bucket should be 35% bigger, I wonder, if you use 18 pieces, instead 12, would be a nice size bucket!?, how about bottom, you did not do bottom?? I like the look so much, will make one to my Summer Cottage, and paint it very colorful, I think red with white trimming, like my Cabin is, it will be right on Arctic Circle, Finland !=)) Thanks, youtheman=), Greetings from South Florida, where I live now! 90 F today;o)

Should’ve of glued those handles.

Can use them for plants in the well

Hi Ken, love your shows. Correct me I'm wrong. If your bucket will have 12 stays and each one is 12 inches long, won't you need a 12 foot 2×4?

Good day to all.

Good morning!

Good morning

Why don't you buy a small Galvanized bucket

comment

Not chatter but snipe.

Don’t give up your day job Ken 😂🤪😂

Good morning,your bucket could be a little larger ha,ha😅🪻💜🇺🇸
