Mafe's wood bucket (Mikes ancien bucket class)

It looks good and that’s already enough :) Snow, sand, or as a late thought, as a flower pot ;)

i can’t help but wonder if the men of old
also had some other knowledge
that researchers didn’t think to check about

like maybe they boiled some pine pitch or beeswax
in water
and filled the new buckets with that first
until they stopped leaking

much as we put water sealer or wood preservative on today

regardless you made a beautiful bucket
along with many other useful things

and along the way
helped us all
to enjoy the journey too

How about an ice bucket for your lovely ladies champagne?

That is an great looking bucket. and I agree who says you have to use it for water. there are lots of uses for buckets. You can carry things like Milk, Soda, Orange Juice, Oil, Mineral spirits, Vodka, Stain, Well you get it…....

-- Tim - I usally measure twice after I cut......then I know for sure that I cut it short.....

That looks great! How about using it as a tool bucket?!

What a wonderful bucket Mads.
I enjoyed following along as you built it.
Thanks for sharing.

It’s a beatiful bucket, shop-made with a vintage look. But like most of your projects, I’m here for beautifully photographed vintage and/or shopmade tools. So obviously, this one didn’t let me down. Excellent work.

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

very well done

Quite an accomplishment! I enjoyed reading your blog posts on this one. It would be nice to see more people making pre-modern woodworking projects.
