hi Yve!
He made buckets, piggins, butter churns, that sort of thing along with his hand carved wooden spoons and bowls...no barrels.
I think somewhere back in this thread he Steve Folkers) explains the difference in his coopered items and those of a barrel cooper.

He no longer does any coopering although he is still making a few spoons and bowls.

He'll answer questions about the work here though . Thanks Judith would love to see some of his spoon making work .

On the first page of this thread, down a few posts is a good explanation of the different types of coopering.

Does your husband make barrels, like wine / whiskey barrels?

Anyone have any experience building wooden barrels and or coopering?

Anyone on here growing hydroponic tomatoes? Iam do a Dutch bucket system and having some issues with my plants, leaves curling. Ph at between 5.8-6 mostly and ec around 2.

Thanks guys. Here are a few oics

Didn’t see a forum for hydroponic gardening so posting here. I have some small white bugs and green bugs on my tomato and pepper plants and looking for a DIY spray to get rid of them. Anyone with a recipe that works without killing the plants?

Right on.. thanks again Ben Zumeta ….So in my tub every inch is 45 litres. According to google every kg of body is equal to 1 litre. Iam 85 ish and wife is 65 ish. So 150 kg. So 150 litres ,so should raise water less than 3 inches.  So tub is 39 “ high, will fill to 32, put my hot outlet at 31. Cold inlet at 6”?? What you think ? Anyone? Also did anyone ever put water jets in their DIY tubs?? I was gonna put air jets but someone said air just cools the water, better to use water!

Thanks so much Ben Zumeta! Thanks exactly what I wanted to see and read. How far is your top “Hotwater “ outlet below the surface of your water? What would you guess is the distance between the two outlets coming into your tub?

So I have built a cedar hot tub and a built a stainless steel stove to heat the water. I have 2” space between the walls of the stove where the water will be. Iam wondering where to put the ports in the hot tub, like how far apart is most efficient? How close to top of water? Here are a few pics of my build. All comments and advice welcomed. Also did anyone build a tub and hook up a pump for jets?

Iam in 5b so I don’t have a lot of wiggle time  to do stuff ,just  wondering if best time to take  cuttings?
