So I wanted to make my own white oak barrel, I have all of the tools available to do this but i can't seem to find anyone else who has already done this. I have tried Google it to see if anyone has a "how to" guide but could not find anything.
Does anyone have any information on this? A guide that they found online?

I believe you need to do an apprentice ship in the 1800's Westco, save the heartache and buy one

Cooperage is an art, and requires a skilled craftsman. See paragraph 2.

What normally happens is I try something I probably should not even attempt, I fuck things up but I learn a lot from it!
