I am a practicing traditional cooper who makes barrels, buckets, washtubs, and butter churns by hand. I use mostly traditional skills and handtools to build round, conical wooden vessels for history museums, national parks, and collectors.

Wow. By hand. This gives some perspective on the value of basic serviceable items like a barrel. Contrast this video with today’s throw-away consumerism. Just one single pint of beer should hold much meaning. Thank you.

my official name is Kuipers, translated Cooper... In 1612 my ancestors came from Germany to the Netherlands, and they made barrels, so coopers

I feel bad for destroying this in every RPG I play now.

Completely awe inspiring! My 98-year-old father was trained as a cabinet maker using some of these tools. I have my grand father’s broad axe. The ‘simpler’ the tool, the more skill you need.

Brilliant. I watched part of another "handmade" compering process, some company making bourbon barrels and everyone waxing lyrical, it had so many processes that used machines it was hardly handmade and people didn't seem to get my point.

Even with only manual tools, he makes this look so easy. I feel like an incredible amount of practice must have gone into the work. Nice to see techniques like this still being used and it's crazy to think this is how it was done for the longest of times.

Amazing work. My grandmother told me that her father was a barrel maker from father to son, and in his old age, when he could no longer see, he said that he could make a barrel just by chopping wood with an ax and touching the wood with his hand. I still have some of his tools at home, tools made by hand by the blacksmith.

I've seen other videos of this sort of thing, but this is definitely the most in-depth version that wasn't filmed by the BBC using a potato in the 70's

I was employed at a cooperage in the wine country for about a year when I was 19

I am an amateur woodworker and gradually building a portfolio with the intention of making a side-job of it. Your craft is seriously impressive and I am in awe of your skills with an axe. I learned a few things for my own craft just by watching this one video. Subscribed!
