Welcome to the forum, Matt.

A cooper, eh? We'd love to see lots of photos on making a barrel !

Welcome Matt.

Here is the video link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-msgT71xek

Not all computers and operating systems allow the link to be seen in the way Malc formatted it so I tend to paste the full link in to help everyone who otherwise could not see it.

Hi Matt, yes, that's the one.

My mum used to 'do' or 'char' for the wife of the cameraman.

Welcome
Would that be for barrels of the amber coloured brew but I thought they used old used ones?
