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.

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

hey thanx got the video not much has changed in this trade. there a many places that use machines now but the skill is still there.

hi rod, yes they do use old ones its more repair work the coopers do now the distilleries seem to buy in the jeam beam casks from america and use them..
