    Thanks for posting. It's a pretty fascinating skill/process. Coopering has been on my mind recently after I saw the following video about how barrels for European lagers are made. Lots less industrial machinery involved, for one...

    I've always thought the Luddites had the right idea...

    Kidding aside, I love this kinda stuff.
