Wooden Canteen Hold Water? Replica Revolutionary War Canteen - The Garage Engineer

[@petercollin5670]

What an original idea for a project. Glad it held water.

[@TheGarageEngineer]

I was surprised too. It was fun to make. Thanks for watching.

That's very nice. I wouldn't have thought to make the curved part in sections. Kind of like a stubby barrel.

[@TheGarageEngineer]

The curved part was the hardest part I had to think about for a while. Especially the v-bit jig. Thanks for watching.

I have made two canteens for friends of mine who are medieval re-enactors. When I poured wax in them to waterproof them, I did not know to add a little mineral oil to the wax. Is this to make it easier to slosh around and cover all the interior surfaces, or some other reason? I ask because I am always looking for better ways to do things. Thankyou for posting this video.

[@TheGarageEngineer]

I added the mineral oil so the wax flows easier. It is the same mixture I use for my wood balm. I am glad you found this video useful. Thanks for watching.

Never tought of making the curved section like this. Generally, i would make thin but full circles of wood, the glue them together. I find it easier to do it that way, but still, it turned out awesome

[@TheGarageEngineer]

I would agree with you . This way is how they did it back in the old days. And I wanted to give it a try. Thanks for watching.

Did you make the templates? If not where did you find them?

[@TheGarageEngineer]

I got this book which had the plans. www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/267/1/BOOK-SB76

The grain of your staves runs the wrong way…. They should have been across and then steam bent to curve. But what you made was still cool.

[@TheGarageEngineer]

Thanks for the tip. It was a fun project. I will have to try it that way if I build it again.
