I stumbled onto this video this morning.

At 52.27 minutes long I was sure I'd watch 5 minutes or fast forward a bunch but I found it captivating.

I feel that understanding how a wooden bucket is made will help modellers create realistic looking buckets for their ship models.

Yes but the person doing the captions did a bad job of it.  Thank goodness I seem to speak a version of Australian 😉

He's a great example of the Strine wire flife.

 

Funny, I didn't have any trouble understanding him . . . :P

 

"Cooper" is from the same root word as the word "cup" - originally a cooper made barrels and cups. The street Coppergate in York (UK), where they found a large number of Viking artefacts is the Street ("gate" - a doublet of the word "gait") of the Coopers.
