[Bishop]

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

Linseed paste! Never come across that before, sounds like great stuff.

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".

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.

Great. That was time well wasted to watch that.
