saves on the upright pieces takes depending on the size of bucket or tub you have a average bucket takes about 20 if they are which varies start up have about 20 you have any preference of those you kind of getting down dog for heart but I'm cedar can work either way buck has to be kept with any book it has to be kept wet a little touch on once I've split it down to this I'm going to go to the shaving bench and the draw life and essentially tastes like this to this stage right here maybe a little wider after this but the draw line work with my thickness from the other side this side is flat this is taking a piece would be great eliminate that large of the tree large of the tree the easier these are because and split a large tree a hard rock these can be almost split just like that that's the tree is good very little work on but if the tree is smaller and then you get more than of an angle on your on your boat look up and dust lay it it requires a little bit go away let's just say actually I'm done there now we go to the jointer

I feel slight taper and I have made my pattern here maybe first day the marked pattern all other states have to have the same percentage of table I'm not going to be the same width but they have to have the same percentage of tapers I'll make that one lay it there these lines are parallel these lines are parallel to this happen right there [Music]

[Music]

look at that if this look too bad so I'm going to actually measure that okay that one's good just by simply laying this mark here where I said to the outside edge here in here and closing it up put just a little bit more on that one and I did nothing to that one there very very very little to back around over so I'm going to take a little off all right go back and just double check my papers if I didn't lose anything it would be dude it's pretty good sunblock there's only two two areas of this bucket that has to be round that's the inside the outside inside at the bar that's the dealer I can measure a circle I can determine the radius of a circle but cannot be living over I'm just rounding out some here take me somewhere round go around over here to make a circle just by taking rid off the edge growth rings will run perpendicular to the face the birthrate these are slightly off but you want them straight up in there pushes you can guess that makes a very very stable would doesn't look into is that would has to compress someone and put it together mister compress the other please press will be able easier to push this way than it is this way because this way you're going against the girth of uses all the court this when you're going into the softer you can actually compress matter of fact for final assembly I will take this and run it over like this state of burnish a little bit on it kind of compress it and then that will swell back so explain that these are explained us again these are tools these are lines are tools steel is valuable rare and I will finish this bucket and actually finish it put it together using the eye and when it's finished the bottom in everything is done we'll harvest the white oak tree eight inches in diameter and quarter it then also I work the root swinging and work out split about the inch and a half wide and roughly three sixteenths of an inch thick and I will make wooden hoots I'll have I have here this is a Arawak ah

of course this has been used or broke whatever but that's long and I determine the length of this by wrapping it around the bucket overlapping and making it more work our make will be this port here this one that's where they come together let on three the arrow and create the law and I will put it together wetting it red and green which is not going to be round it's gonna be coming once I get started over the bucket then become round as the bucket is and now this is one of those things that can make longer by traveling that's gonna let it release it okay please just a little bit I got into I get exactly where I want and that's called an arrow line this has to work in green okay well I don't get some of that here this is court remember I said later on reach down in and drag out some wood if I don't want yeah okay use that later let me get some stuff here all right okay now we go to the bar remember I said in the bottom I have to have a circle I cannot measure it over so I will actually use another hoop to lay it down there maybe describe a line around so that I can work the root out to the line that I know I have a circle then I insert this low bottom why do I always hurt this tool it's called a Crow's cro ze that's how I make the groove in the bucket to put the bottom in without without the bottom being in there simply use the top use the bottom as a guide where I've trimmed off don't worry trim them the scraps this until I get my groove on justice well yeah there's V time anyway after I'll make that after I'll make that groove using the crows to the depth that I want then I have to determine the radius and I simply do that this divider first guess not the depth we clean your crumbs right there I will come out somewhere around the center I'm just going to guess all right yes then we'll lock it up then I'm gonna pick a point here and start right there later starting point that's got to be the ending point also one three six my little long a little no said simply adjust back one-sixth of that this what's under guess yeah I'm do it again and again necessary until and we're happy game then this way that becomes my radius okay equilateral drive will scribe because I want these to go back the way that they are the roads are I have to use this many pieces I will and you cried one across like Sam that one goes right there and I'll get here and I'll make to mark your like three right now then I'll pick a place where I want my Center to me of course I don't want to be there but more than our draw my circle immediately and then we'll take my little bugs off Marshall so the origin and you got a really thin bladed that's just something I got coping styling okay all right then we're going to be doing is we are charges I know I would allow them back up ladies seriously we're made my marks have to cut it out taking the line the marks up bullshit out a circle but about you right don't be there that I'll taper the edges so once you were lying on once this thing is together then is the wood swelling up from being wet you look okay Safa no I'm still gonna be pretty good wouldn't always falls over and Robert has to be good gushing then swelling takes up so you told me that it takes a whole day to make above in this point so in during the Civil War period during 1860s but what a bucket like this have sold for 25 cents maybe 25 I don't really know but I'd estimate that big problem US dollars now it was something like that sophomore just thing well you never give you down the ground spying on me to take off man ok regime days they swayed turning slave dirt up a lot of worry a lot of work you
