    As a traditioinal woodworker who made a living for 25 years carving wooden spoons with a drawknife, shavehorse, crooked knives and gouges it warms my heart to see this man work. The toll it takes on you is something most folks don't figure in. Something called trigger finger in your hands, carpel tunnel, bursitis in the shoulder from axe work etc. I made good money but never enough to have a pension or savings. That's the downside. The other reality today is that essential materials are so expensive. The mild steel used in the barrel hoops would cost $30-$40.00 for one barrell if bought at the hardware store. One sleeve of sandpaper for a power sander is $7.50 and I used 4 grits to sand my spoons. I learned how to make axe handles from an old fellow but switched to spoons when I realized I couldn't survive on the money from hand carved tool handles. Spoons usesd many of the same skills but brought up to 10X as much at market. If you are young and thinking about doing something like this for a living just take a long hard look at the numbers before you jump in.

    Almost brought a tear to my eye to see a man do so much with so little as I sit on my hoards of tools and still a fraction of what I see in him. A true master craftsman

    *Since the invention of injection molding and arc welding, Coopers are not the mainstay of communities they once were. That's unfortunate because this is a dying art form. Of which, this Man is a true master. One of the reasons UA-cam has become the essential entity it is, is due to the archiving of historical crafts such as this. Getting these videos digitized and preserved for posterity.....Priceless*

    If I lived close to this man, I would keep him busy, making me all sort of barrels and stuff. Great job.
    At one time, i lived near a reserve, and an old gentleman used to make baskets and go door to door to sell them. He once to me that the younger generation weren't interested in learning. He now has passed away with no one to fill his shoes. What a shame to see his art die out.

    I watch this presentation with great nostalgia, because my Great-Grandfather was a cooper - wheelwright an Landed Property in Linówiec (Poland).
    I think Dad and Brother and I inherited these "constructor genes" from him.
    I congratulate Mr. Cooper on continuing the tradition of his Ancestors. Best regards 😀.

    Next time you see someone like Graham Hancock trying to tell you what can't be done with simple tools show them this man uding a strip of old cloth as a mesure for the barrel hoop. And neolithic flint tools were very sharp. Sand is a good abrasive. Practice of course is vital.
