А whiskey barrel from an oak log | DIY | How to make a wooden barrel with your own hands

[@MichaelMcClelland1]

That coopers clamp thing is ingenious. This video makes barrel making look easy, which is a testament to the cooper, not the ease.

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

Thank you very much!!!

[@caml2347]

What an outstanding video. Not a single word spoken in the entire 20 minutes, like a masterpiece from the silent film era. No call to "like or subscribe", no four minute explanation that he's about to do the thing you knowingly searched for. He could be a mute for all I know, yet it doesn't matter. I wish this man could make every DIY video I ever needed from now until the end of days. A man and his barrel with a costarring cast of tools. He plays the role of cooper masterfully, but his true master craft is filmmaking.

[@dredgethesoul]

perhaps put the tap hole in before finishing the body construction. How do you get the sawdust and that chunk of wood out?

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

To drill the cork hole I use a hole saw... After drilling the hole, the round piece of wood stays inside the core bit and sawdust getting into the barrel is minimized...

[@sergeytaranovich2368]

Before they fill barrel with whiskey they burn barrels inside and add several pounds of maple charcoals to it, a few pieces of sawdust from a oak board will not contaminate anything

[@johncarberry3158]

I use a home made radius jig. You can mill different widths of staves. I use jigs for 1ltr right through to 500ltr.

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

This is amazing! Great craftsmanship! What happens to the wood chips that fall inside when the bung is drilled? Is there a way to get them out?

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

Thank you so much!!! I am very glad that you liked my work... To drill the filler hole, I use a core drill, inside which remains a cut round piece of the barrel, and all the small chips remain outside the barrel. Thus, the ingress of sawdust into the barrel is minimized ...

[@mikeknowlden9617]

Loved the video. Trully I did but could you add some text about tooling, process or where did you get or how yo make the jig for the planks (staves?). I'd love to attempt this type of project. The skills alone would be nice to know.

[@hacgarimman9660]

Am i right in thinking that his router bit in the table is set at the angle which both cuts out the stave template and bevels at the right angle all at thr same time?

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

That's right. The cutter is set at the desired angle. With its help, I simultaneously give the workpiece the required shape and process the side edge of the barrel staves at the desired angle... Watch this video. It clearly shows these points: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5areJtjjp2nndE

[@hacgarimman9660]

@@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252 thank you. How have you set your router up? We struggle here in the UK getting tilting router tables. I take it your table shown on your templates video is the actual temple size and not the finished/routered template?

[@bobvitas4132]

Very nice look at what it takes to make a barrel. I especially like the trick with the spanner, using 6 radii to determine the circumference. Are you using stainless steel pins to hold the lid together?

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

Thanks!!! I use stainless steel pins with a diameter of 2 mm.

[@Lopyswine]

I didn't see you check for leaks. Did you swell it?

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

I fill the barrel with water for a few days before pouring wine or whiskey into it. In 99.9% of cases there are no leaks...

[@CthulhuOO7]

Is that a home built, belt-driven, sliding chop saw?!

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

Yes. I made this circular saw with a belt drive with my own hands.

[@michiganmoto7687]

I know that hoopers used to heat the steel hoops before putting them on wagon wheels so they would tighten to the wheel as they cooled. I guess I always thought that was how it was done for barrels too. This was a great video. What is the taper angle of the staves?

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

Thanks!!! I am very glad that you liked the video. The difference in the width of the riveting in the middle and along the edges is 12%.

[@davidandloricasey7828]

Just finished making the jig, and cutting 22 staves for an 8 liter barrel as shown in the templates you shared, thank you! Does anyone have any suggestions for the steel hoop material and a source? The big online "A" store sells 100+ feet at a time and is typically only .020 or .030 thick. Is .030 thick enough or go to at .050? I am leaning at .050. Thank You!!

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

Thank you very much!!! If you specified the thickness in inches, then I would use a thickness of 0.050 inches, which equals a thickness of 1.27 mm. For my barrels I use 1.5 mm thick steel strip

[@mansoragazadeh1619]

Excuse me, I have a question, I heard that before oak wood is used to produce barrels, they put it in water for a while to remove the wood poison! Is such a thing true??

[@tmzhenatanwoodworking7252]

No, it’s not true... Oak blanks must dry in the open air for several years. Then they are used to make barrels. And only then do they fill the barrels with cold water for 7-14 days, periodically changing the water in the barrel to remove excess bitterness (tannins) from the oak...

Some things are best done much the same old way they were done years ago. Horse shoes are another example.

Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better. And addressing/thanking the CREATOR, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea 😊 Or just be my friend if you don't want to say the prayer 😄 I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD🙏 Amen. You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both☺ Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol. 🙏
