Woodworking: How to make a wooden bucket

[@stephborel]

LOVE "blooper/reality" endings to your videos.. it's what actually make me feel better about my woodworking. I USE to say "this isn't how people on youtube do it"... then think I sucked... now i say.. "that woulda been in a blooper reel"...and realize i'm human. SO thanks for that.

[@FishersShop]

You're very welcome! Thanks, Steph

[@grahamh1067]

pretty sure my blooper reel would be longer than the build video if I were to try and put my projects on youtube.

[@chuckpap]

You sir are a triple threat...skill, humor, and intellect...incredible project. Thank you for providing this.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Charles!

[@kellyrevelle2524]

Your commentary on all your videos I’ve watched make you my new favorite builder on KZbin

[@FishersShop]

Glad you're enjoying them. :)

[@fmgough]

Tis a fine bucket. All others pail in comparison.

[@MadStacks007]

Haha😁😁😁😁😁 Well played...well played

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

ba-dum-tiss!

[@lylachristopherson865]

UUUuuuugh.

[@jeron9272]

**heavy breathing**

[@amv1231]

If that doesn’t make you just wanna kick the bucket! 😳

[@seejanedrill]

I love the build and your sense of humor. Outstanding!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks so much, Leah!!

[@dgoddard]

Another of my favorite creators! Hi, Leah!

[@Carolinesbeanieboobabies]

For a videographer, you’re not too bad at woodwork. (Seriously, you’re a freaking genius.). You make me want to spend more time in my shop AND sell off my tools in shame with equal energy. Nice job my man.

[@pavlo0412]

Awesome bucket ! love the outtakes . This is why I watch your videos . Thanks

[@garageconstruction7767]

This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I really admire you as woodworker to woodworker

[@TheCylence]

Hey Drew, it's your neighbor. I didn't watch the video but I found this huge piece of wood in my back yard. It's kind of damaged and it looks like it was cut with a saw already, but I know you like to make things with wood, so it you want it let me know and I'll chuck it over the fence or something.

[@FishersShop]

It's all yours, my friend. Maybe use it to build a new dog house?

[@fartmerchant762]

Ooooooohhhhhhhhh I get it now

[@amv1231]

It was going good until the end where he said I’ll chuck it “back” over.. the whole premise was based on not knowing where the wood came from ..

[@alangardiner872]

in my Humble opinion, you are way up there in the best Videos. .your work is excellent, there is NO friggin stupid blaring Music...ther commentary is super informative and the banter adds a great flavour to an already very palletable video....top marks dude!!!

[@FishersShop]

I appreciate that!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Really great work on this brother my friend. And thanks for doing Mike proud, I know he appreciates the subliminal shout out with the apparel!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks Chris! Mike was actually the very first woodworking-community T-shirt I ever got. Haha... I wear it with pride.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Fisher's Shop that’s great! My Muz shirt got caught in my spindle sander... don’t ask🤦‍♂️

[@Dramagal0912]

That makeshift lathe was genius!!!

[@AKHuntinFool]

Drew again proving why’s he’s not only a top woodworking video creator on KZbin but in the top echelon overall. Loved it.

[@FishersShop]

I don't know about THAT, but thanks anyway! :)

[@thomascary1752]

I just subscribed to your channel. The reason I decided to go ahead and subscribe is your self deprecating humor! You remind me of myself in that respect.

[@nickcosta3004]

I never really thought a bucket could be art, but you sure proved me wrong, this is beautiful.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Nick!

[@cyrilnorrie8450]

Beautiful workmanship! This video was very well done and interesting.

[@FishersShop]

Thank you very much!

[@rogerloydmccoy]

Dinner and a show... It's in the bucket. Super project, thank you.

[@barryroberts6470]

Wow that was one Excellent build, who would have thought of making a Bucket in this way oh yes Drew did and an Excellent job too. Just an amazing video and worth a thumbs up and added to my saved list. Fantastic, oh and i love the usual out takes as well ha ha ha. Barry (ENG)

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Barry!! :)

[@nerrawdivad]

I made one out of pine and it worked out very well using your instructions, they were very accurate but i used a rope handle instead of the way you built the handle, nice work and great instructions, thank you !!!!

[@FishersShop]

Awesome, glad you had fun!

[@julietphillips1991]

Wow! That came out magnificent! I don't need to blow your trumpet or pat you on the back...you did a fine job of doing that for yourself as well...and your deserve every bit of praise ( Jack and Jill would be honored to have this bucket).Seriously, that is one good looking bucket!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Juliet!

[@hendrikriedstra7857]

There are soooo many people out there making buckets. But this is by far the best iv'e seen. I compliment you on the skills you have shown and the video was well structured. The finished bucket looked fantastic. Thumbs UP.

[@peterk8909]

Your delivery is surpassed only by your skill, talent and creativity. I particular enjoyed the out takes. Apparently, I'm not the only one who talks to myself that way.

[@brianewhiteguy]

Your videos are the perfect mix of ingenuity, dad jokes and creativity. Outstanding as always!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Brian!

[@larsrasmussen877]

What a beautiful bucket - thanks for the comment about Denmark - I’m a true fan. You always bring a smile to my face and a “Wauw” to your end products….!! Love from DK

[@jmc0610]

You're super talented and I always look forward to your videos coming out. Your dry sense of humor always adds a couple good chuckles to watching the video but the bloopers at the end really set you apart from the rest. As usual another great video. Nicest bucket I've ever seen! lol

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Joshua!

[@LivingOurDream]

By far my favorite wood shop channel on KZbin! Keep up the good work sir!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks!!

[@lumberjack4080]

You're back! I've totally missed you.

[@kristopherlioudis7837]

This might be one of the classiest things I've seen you make. Love the look of that sapwood/heartwood. And I always enjoy your creative solutions. The shot of the bottom going in might be the best thing I've seen on the internet this year.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Kristopher!

[@Warkive]

At beginning of the video: "Uhhh, why is this guy making a bucket?" By the end of the video: "Wow, I'm really glad I watched that." Really enjoyed your thought process from the perspective of someone who doesn't have every tool under the sun. Presentation/narration was good too.

[@hinojosaunlimited]

I'm not sure I will never make a bucket. But seeing that bucket bottom perfectly set was worth watching this vid. Nicely done.

[@monster2269]

Your oration and video editing skills are extremely good. Impressive. Great bucket. Glad you threw in some tips and tricks. Thanks.

[@lornapenn-chester6867]

I wonder if it would hold water! Makes me appreciate how much work used to go into making every day equipment and how we are so spoiled today. 👏

[@bonniebarber6114]

You are the mad scientist of woodworkers. Love it!

[@timhepworth7867]

Your commentary is legendary. Great vid keep up the great work

[@rodgerq]

Very satisfying watching you roll the staves up and seeing them come together quite perfectly.

[@FishersShop]

Right?

[@justind9858]

I'm pretty sure that if I wasn't already a woodworker, this kind of video would inspire me to become one.

[@evergladesfl]

Incredible wood work, and equally incredible film production. Thumbs up!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks a bunch

[@paulalderson6920]

Your side comments (aka Dad Jokes) and the out-takes are great. Woodworking skills are quite good too. Keep up the good work.

[@corey4836]

Absolutely fantastic and without a doubt, my favorite woodworker to watch! Bravo sir 👏

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Corey!

[@corey4836]

Good to see you back at it and l hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday season and a great start to 2020! Looking forward to more on your channel!

[@benwallace6542]

Not only are your projects great, your videos are of great quality. I genuinely enjoy watching them.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Ben!

[@terry3974]

That is the most beautiful bucket I've even seen. Nice job!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍

[@MrWilsonGeek]

What a video and project simple item but a fantastic result ... I haven't enjoyed a video this muct in years well done sir well done!

[@gaborkacsa]

very cute, but the handle is enormously beautiful.

[@ampsydb]

All I could think of at 15:05 was "pocket" after you said hot. Awesome build, as always. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@cliff5240]

It is a pleasure watching you work!! I used my new Fisher's push stick for the first time -- love you!!!

[@FishersShop]

Haha, awesome! Use it and abuse it!

[@cliff5240]

@@FishersShop Well that was supposed to say love it :) ha ha

[@917Stefano]

That is the nicest bucket I have ever seen! Jack and Jill should be fighting for the opportunity to use it. I like the way you make innovative use of your tools to cut the dowels and other items.

[@robvries2568]

i'm bingeing your video's. i love your work. greetings from the netherlands

[@fredbush3404]

Another brilliant project. Enjoy all your videos.

[@brentprosser5563]

Great work. And just quirky and funny enough to make it even more enjoyable.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RB-xc9vh]

Loved the project and your black sense of humor always gives me a thrill as well tbh. Thanks for bringing this to us.

Beautiful bucket, Drew. And very enjoyable to watch as always. Billy

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Billy

[@Mindova]

You have no idea how much I enjoyed this. Keep it up!

[@Darthoctane]

Am I the only one who see's a new Fisher Video is up, watches it, then watches half of his other videos again because I can't get enough Fisher's Shop? Great work Drew. Love your channel and work.

[@mikecurtin9831]

Several very useful tips. Also love the outtakes. Thanks much and thumbs up to crush a troll.

[@DLMcPhail]

This is the first time I have commented on your videos, but I love your work and commentary. Just wanted to give you another option for a lathe. Using your drill press make a holder for your piece on the table and turn in the vertical position.

[@FishersShop]

That was my first attempt but the only turning tools I have is a gouge for hand carving and it kept catching. Didn't work.

[@DLMcPhail]

You could always just sand it without lathe tools.

[@ramonocasio9573]

That came out AWESOME. Love your videos. God blessed you with a great gift.

[@BloodyClash]

you DEFINATELY earn at least a thumb up. That bucket looks awesome and your laithe replacement really is cool for smaller shops. Very nice and funny explained

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the video Drew. Very nice work and very ingenious on compromising on the lack of some tools. That was really neat on the lathe, and dowel cutter. Thanks for taking the time to produce the videos. Y'all take care and God bless

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Ron!

[@ReDMooNTVV]

The production quality on these videos are amazing. Nice one

[@FishersShop]

Thanks!

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

Stunning result! The outtakes are classics too.

[@thyrus16]

Starting watching for the woodworking. Kept watching for the puns. Great job!

[@michaelmartens4913]

Great work! Love the commentary. The handle turned out better than I expected.

[@afd2016]

Amazing skills and matching whit! Such a pleasure to watch your videos! Keep ‘em coming!

[@bysonderby]

Hey Drew, Great project, the bucket is gorgeous! Greeting from Denmark! Best regards Lars

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Lars!

[@Valixstone]

Love this video, like all your others! I've been patiently/impatiently waiting for it ever since you teased it in the podcast. I have crushed nearly all the WBAT episodes over the last couple weeks. I'm surprised it took me that long to find you had one since I've been following your KZbin for the last year! You were my first woodworker/maker I encountered and I thank you for all you have inspired in my own woodshop creativity I now employ in my tiny converted garage shop.

[@FishersShop]

You're very welcome! Thanks for listening and watching!

[@mattm5867]

You have a gift my friend! Absolutely AWESOME WORK!

[@FishersShop]

Thank you very much!

[@momohunkerton4294]

You're something else my friend, keep the laughs up, you're entertaining us all

[@KeithBNimble]

I was so looking forward to you "kicking the bucket". Great job as always. Keep them coming.

[@t3hj4nk]

I petition for more outtakes in every woodworking video.... Oh yeah, awesome bucket too.

[@Knochen0810]

Great Video. The best bucket I ever saw. Nice job! Greets from Germany.

Thanks, Christian

Very Nice Work !!!

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Hola! 🖐That is a sweet looking bucket👌I echoed your "ooooohhh nice" when that flat bottom panel just eased right in, awesome.👏I have seen a few videos with a similar project but this one is tops. I really want to make one for Grammy now. Hopefully once my shop is operational I can get to building one. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊

[@FishersShop]

Right on! Yeah, this was a fun and challenging one

[@stuartscott9646]

Super nice bucket! Your out takes make me glad to know I'm not the only one!

[@theclosetcarpenter7172]

I've watched a lot of woodworking videos but I really like yours the most. That was awesome! Love the narration and explanation of everything.

Lol love your out takes. Very funny. And great way to present a video most entertaining. Thanks. Cheers.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Such an incredible project...so much goes into a bucket! The way you made the handle without a lathe is so clever Drew! I my dad and I made a bucket with only colonial age hand tools about 8 years ago - remind me to tell you about it at WBC!

[@FishersShop]

Looking forward to it, Ethan!

[@mlubecke]

That turned out amazing. Check this off your bucket list.

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Another great video Drew. Love the bucket. I also want to second what JesterWDE said.

[@AJ-ln4sm]

A craftsman who makes buckets and barrels is known as a Cooper! Nice work man!

[@grahamefreestone5309]

Mary had a little lamb. She kept it in a bucket and every time the lamb jumped out, Mary tried to put it back... ;-) 🇬🇧 Very nice bucket Drew. Impressive. 👍

this guy seriously knows a ton. I'm very impressed. His humor may point to someone without skill but it's obviously the exact opposite.

[@tedthompson2163]

Very nice. Beautiful work! I want to make one -- you know, to use for mopping the garage floor, occasional oil changes, septic service, crime scene clean-up, whatever the need for a good bucket may be! Kidding, totally love it, thanks for sharing!

Nice job ! Going against the rotation of the router bit is called climb cutting! great job I 've always wanted to build a coopered bucket or barrel! When I was a kid I grew up I lived 5 doors down from the last white pine cooperage in America!

[@davidegerton61]

I’ve just found your site after spending about four hours in my shed trying to figure out how to make a drawer that was made for one side of the shed fit into a bigger hole on the other side and ended up loosing my temper and telling my shed that I wasn’t going to be back again today as I was p##ed off with it and sat on the sofa with cup off tea and handful of biscuits and found your site after one bucket and a light fitting that lit up your workshop I was well chilled and laughing at your sense of humour Thank you for that Ps I live on the Isle of Wight England And found your voice great to listen to have you thought of doing voice over on TV

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, David! Don't give up, you can do it!
