Welcome to the forum, Matt.
A cooper, eh? We'd love to see lots of photos on making a barrel !
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.

Welcome Matt.
Here is the video link.

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?
