Grab a brew, switch off the phone and enjoy as he talks you through the process of making a wooden bucket.

Thanks for sharing that. It was really interesting - I have masses of respect for these old craftsmen who make it look too easy. I don't think I'll be making a bucket any time soon.

"In Australia, the Coopers Union was the biggest of all the unions". :lmao:

I enjoyed that, it was like watching an Aussie version of Country Ways. Be interesting to find out if he has any relation to Smithwicks brewery.
