This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
wood badge in
Dimensional Lumber Woodworking.
Carrying
water in a leaky
bucket is annoying. Let's build a wooden bucket that doesn't leak!
Here's a gentleman with a cool accent showing us one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make a wooden bucket with staves
- No glue
- With a handle
- Natural groove sealer that expands with hydration (like ground
flax seed from the
video)
- Metal is acceptable for the hoops
- Homemade natural finish is allowed
- At least 2 gallons in size
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The lumber you're going to use for this
project
- Midway through the construction process
- Finished bucket
Also provide video of the following (<2 min):
- Filling the bucket with 2+ gallons of water
- Suspending the full bucket over a few sheets of paper
- Show how it isn't leaking
at all over a 20 minute time lapse (sped up)
