I added this to the woodworking forum - cool stuff. Here at paul's project, we've been looking for plastic-free containers for brining, salting meats, food storage, etc. Glass or wood is what we'd prefer. It's hard to find. Would love to see some water-tight wooden boxes, too.

Those are nice. Here is a redneck version:

I have found a few used whiskey or wine barrels, but they are still expensive. New ones are extremely expensive!

I used to visit with the potato barrel maker on long lake Madawaska Maine. Notice that heat is necessary to bend the staves. His barrels were 55 gallon size, the staves were 3/8 inch thick and tongue and grove on the edges. His clamps were foot operated so that he could do the whole operation by himself. I am not sure how long it took to make the staves because I did not get to watch that but he could assemble the barrel in 10 to 15 minutes. They were surprisingly strong; they were picked up full of potatoes by a clamp like what is used to lift jars out of the canner and hoisted on a truck, then rolled down a plank on the bottom edge into the potato house.

Japanese taru are a bit easier and can be made with hand tools exclusively. because they're basically conic sections instead of the more familiar barrel shape, they don't require heat for bending staves. the shape of the staves is also considerably simpler for the same reason. they're bound with green bamboo that tightens up as it dries: no metal-smithing required.
of the tools necessary, a curved froe and curved drawknife are probably the most difficult to get ahold of.
