Read several comments about people understanding why these barrels are so expensive. YES - man Jasen excellent job brother. Art isn’t made overnight man. Picasso didn’t use a machine. Tesla spent HOURS upon years perfecting his gift. All the greats become best friends with time and failure. They have to. Truly respect this video man. Thank you.
I just finished watching this video. I like this young man. The impression I got from this video is that this young fella is doing things HIS way to make it work and it does not matter if it's right or wrong cuz there is more than just way that leads to Rome. I admire his 'simple' style. Its my style as well and things always get done the right 'my' way .
I have watched quite a number of Barrel making vidoe's, and it seems that no two are the same..each cooperage has its own style and technique. It's a very interesting art, and I really admire those who make barrels..n

Thank you for memory on my growing up as my father did that long side wood boat building .God bless you in health so you can do it long time to com.All the best from Chicago .Hi did not have machines just electric plane at end of his life to him was special gift since hand where not strong to push wood plane easily.
Hi Jasen, got to say good job on making your casks. I'm impressed with your approach to the process, I've been a whisky barrel maker here in Bonnie Scotland for 26 years and teaching apprentices for 10. I noticed you used a wheel for measuring your end size, what we use is a pair of compasses ( dividers ) going round the groove ( Croze ) 6 times finishing on the spot where you started, also make sure the joints are closed before measuring by placing on an end hoop. Hope this helps ☺
Booze&Blender hi, he's measuring the circumference of the end. Its not the way coopers do it, we use compasses ( dividers) when you start in the croze (groove) you go round the circumference 6 times to find the correct measurement, To find the centre of any circumference go round the perimeter 6 times
I made a barrel, small and longer. Made all my tools fron scratch. Looked pretty, leaked like a sieve! Lol! Gonna do it again. This time, she'll hold I reckon. It ain't easy. It's an art form if you ask me.
My grandfather grew up on a winery in Casta de Franche, Italy...( I always wondered why he had such good carpentry skills as he worked as a mold maker in the steel industry here in USA) So I asked... yep made casks, and that farm still makes them with no electricity... my cousin is mayor in the nearby of the city of Avellino...
I use'd to work in a cooperage in Louisville, Kentucky and you did an excellent job with the tools you have. But on your pins between your heading you need to take a hatchet an cut your pins sharp and then put dried cattail on the pins between your heading so whin the barrel gets wet the cattail swells and makes a water tight seal.
An interesting take on coopering . The hoops of traditional barrels were not riveted but heat welded to the size and the position of the hoop. When fitted they were heated to expand and beaten tight on the barrel and pulled it tight when they cooled , much the same as wheel Wright's did . Interesting video though .
Welp, it was about one year ago when I took this video and dissected the crud out of it. I now have a cooperage producing 27 gallon barrels on demand. To make it happen it took the aide of this video, 1 architect/designer, 1 master woodworker, 2 3-d modelers, and 3 CNC machinists. Now I have Coopering Kits so anyone with the shop tools seen in this video can build your own 27 gallon barrels for hobby or extra income. What a wild ride. From dreamer to Cooper by design in only one year. Thanks youtube and the people that post.
Great video. Here's a hint:take a couple wraps of chain around the base of your anvil and it'll take the ring out of it. Save your ears a lot of distress.
Amazing work man!! It's the only video I've found that actually make me understand how it's made! Where did you get the stave router jig from?! It looks like it's aluminium but I wonder if I can just make one up....
I made it up! I took the pattern from a singular barrel stave, scaled it down 25% and cut it out of aluminum plate. The shape of the stave determines the eventual shape of the barrel, and the angle of the stave sides determines the number of staves that fit together to form a circle. So decide approximately how many you staves you want first, then divide 360 by that number. That gives you the total angle which each stave occupies of the whole, then halve that angle again to arrive at the slope of the jig table (like at ~1:30 in my vid). good luck, and keep us posted!
@@OmarGarcia-bi7jq una consulta ya que leo que está en español y se ve un excelente trabajo, la consulta es cuál es el grado de inclinacion y el total de las tablas o reglas para lograr formar el círculo del barril de ante mano gracias 🙏🏻
Hi there, if you're referring to the angle of the sides of the staves then heres the logic: My barrels have about 24 staves all the way around, so take 360˚/24=15˚. Then I halve that again because there are two sides to each stave. That angle, 7.5˚ is the angle of the inclined table seen at ~1:30 in my vid.
great question, I refit hoops from old barrels because i do not have the tools to roll them myself. In traditional barrel making, the hoops would be stretched along the lower edge by pounding over an anvil, inch by inch. Newer machinery pulls it through rollers.
I didn't! I cut and re-riveted old barrel hoops to the size I needed, and I found that the draft, or 'taper' angle was close enough. There is a special tool coopers use that takes straight strips of metal and stretches one side to make them curved like a very slight crescent shape when flat, which will essentially become a slice of a cone when bent around into a hoop. Im not aware if hoops are drafted differently to be a bilge hoop, vs. a head hoop, but it would make sense.
On a larger scale large factories in US that distill their whiskey make 2500 barrels a day. 10s of thousands of barrels filled, aging. End result, 6,500 bottles of booze produced each day.
Is there a certain way that you have to calculate the taper on the Staves for the mid-section of the barrel by chance? I have been trying to figure that out as a reference or if I should just go ahead and taper them all the same width and see what happens.
by 'taper' are you referring to the pattern the staves are made from? This has some nuance to it, I would recommend either finding a pattern (very difficult) or copying a barrel stave from your favorite shaped barrel (much more available)
Yes, cause I know that it's wider in the middle than at the top and bottom of the stave as well as carved out some in the inside for more flexibility when it comes to bending it some. I just haven't found any really good information as to what size they are usually around as a reference. I saw that you used a jig for yours, and I was going to maybe see about doing the same thing cause I never thought of that until I saw your video. I may just give it a try of making them all close to the same and then seeing what it makes. I am doing this more for a hobby and for learning. Thanks for the reply back.
bryan beverly if you taper the staves 6mm either side (12mm in total) after compression your looking at about a 10° taper most casks are based on that degree , wine barrels can be 14° in the trade there called (slight) straight casks. (Stout) high curved tapered casks
What do you mean by radius? The curvature of the staves, end to end is not a radius, but slightly more curvature in the center, less towards the ends. The result is a more pronounced bilge. These lines I took directly off an old barrel stave. I recall the angle was about 11 degrees, but it will depend on (360 degrees / (number of staves * 2 angled faces each)) which would have been (360/(16*2)) = 11.5 degrees. (I rounded up because that way the contact between stave mating faces, if not perfect is sure to be continuous at least along the outside of the vessel.
the trick to the hoops it that they lean inward to conform to the shape of the barrel. In other words, they are a section of a cone. If you were to cut a hoop and flatten it out against the ground, it would not be straight, but arc instead. This is not an easy bend to make in metal without the proper tools, so I started with used barrel staves and resized them.
whats the thickness of the metal rings I want to buit one im collecting all the materials I have at home to start making one .but I want to built a jig stave for router you dont know where can I buy one thanks a lot guys take care
I was also harvesting and milling the wood, and at the time i only had access to pine. It was good for a starter project, the wood is more predictable and straight grained than the coast live oak that grows in this part of California.
STUDENTOFARNIS its called a sweet flag (pond reed) it has to be moist when inserted into the croze orherwise it crumbles when dry. But you are correct about it having to seal the head
He did a beautiful job but the grain on the barrels appeared to be oriented wrong for a barrel to hold liquid. I have always read they should be flat sawn only as the liquid will flow through the ring lines.

He's measuring it with the wheel. He counts how many times the wheel turns, then calculates the diameter with that information.

Very cool i was impressed on how much hand work still goes into these barrels in comparison to other barrel industries that are more automated
My father was a artist doing this by hand 40 -50 years ago with his bare hands and his own made tools without electric tools, no electricity at all..
My grandfather grew up on a winery in Casta de Franche, Italy...( I always wondered why he had such good carpentry skills as he worked as a mold maker in the steel industry here in USA) So I asked... yep made casks, and that farm still makes them with no electricity... my cousin is mayor in the nearby of the city of Avellino...
Wow what effort it takes to make a barrel. Impressive!
GB ood job, great craftsmanship.
interesting that you drill the hole into the side, after the top and bottom are in place. Shavings for flavor! Hehe, great job, impressive process
Very good watch. Impressive set of skills and a lovely product.
I use'd to work in a cooperage in Louisville, Kentucky and you did an excellent job with the tools you have. But on your pins between your heading you need to take a hatchet an cut your pins sharp and then put dried cattail on the pins between your heading so whin the barrel gets wet the cattail swells and makes a water tight seal.
Steve Masterson when you say cat tails, you are referring to the plants and not some other man made stuff?
yes cat tails grow in ponds they look like reeds but have a fuzzy tail in the center i'msure youve seen them when the reeds dry thats the flagging
Steve, I've looking to start a cooperage in Washington State, any ideas how to entice a master cooper to come up this way?
Very good your work -
I plan to do some for me in an amateur way and your video was very enlightening.
I will visit your site
Thank you for posting
adam driver is really good at making barrels
Nice one - not easy work to do - it takes time and patience - you have very good skills.

Great job! No wonder barrels cost so much. They are Labor intensive even in the big manufacturing of barrels
I wish I had a shop like that!
roy wilson I do to. His shop is nice
Молодец 👍 . У нас в России такие мастера называются бондареми .

D.R. Cooperage and Grain Hallo
My father was a Cooper unfortunately I think there's none left in Scotland
Kasem Wanle how can I get the template for making the staves?
Yes, I am interested in purchasing one of your kits, do you have a website?
probably the most informative video for the realistic woodworker trying to make a barrel. that said....oak?

next time oak, yep.
Молодец мужик, уважаю.
Watching at these points of the video (4:37 and 4:48) the barrel behind him reminds me of the barrel used in El Chavo del Ocho
Amazing craftsmanship my man. That turned out very nice.
Great work. I do have one question and I can't believe nobody has said anything about the blonde at 6:19 working without bottoms on.
They must be liquor barrels... =)
this is real art!
Excelente trabajo amigo..dime qué tipo de madera es esa por favor

How can I get in touch with you. I need to ask a few questions how you made the croze too to cut out for the heads and the router bit
do you sell these barrels?
craftsmanship well done awesome
great video and really nice work
