WOW!!!!! What an amazing History & Tutorial on Barrel Making. I was asked to make a barrel and being a retired machinist, I knew the staves taper at the ends. I didn't know how to decide how much to taper the staves. I knew how to divide a circle into sections, but the simple knowledge to divide by 2 gives the angle for each side of the staves. I'm not trying to make a wet barrel, just something that looks like that type of barrel. This video has been a great help to me. Even still; it's not an easy thing to make. The barrel bands must be cone shaped; it's not just a straight strip of metal, and that's another challenge in it self.

Will you write a book on barrel making? Thanks for identifying a Sun plane. I was given one but had no idea what it was called. I will watch this often there is so much information.

While traveling back to my base around lager lechfeld in Germany, had lunch in a wine barrel turned into a cafe on Rhine river.

Do you have the plans to build staves for barrel ? Thank you

Plenty of good stories in this video, although the Egyptians used barrels 3000 years ago, research the word COUP to hold or keep, BUT a huge usage was for gunpowder. DRY + WET + WHITE coopers were the trades when I was young.

Egyptians? With what wood?
