Cooperage v1.2 Sans Ample Strapping

Got a bit more done on the fake barrel for the water jug.

Image intensive (Jump Now)


Cut 8 segments down as to avoid the water jugs feet

The 8 smaller segments (ran out of strapping to complete it today)


Had a couple luggage clamps so decided to use them. Yes I know the strapping is crooked.


Made a jig to make a perfectly round end on the bandsaw.


The end where the feet will stick out the barrel.

I need to get more strapping from work to finish the small segment section.
I will also be glueing half of the barrel to the end plank. The other half will be left free so I can get the water jug in an out of the barrel.
