Now it is harder and harder to find professional coopers, their products were replaced long ago by heartless plastic and cold metal. And as there is a wish to have, sometimes, on table the dainties, or to decorate the house or the apartment with the real wooden tub with lemon tree!
It is required to you
- Wood of different breeds, carpenter's and cooper's tool, metal hot-rolled tape.
Instruction
1. First of all choose wood, depending on your purpose. The linden, aspen, poplar, vetla, alder will be suitable for storage of honey. For salting, fermentation or the mocheniya best of all approaches oak. Apply beech, fir-tree, fir, pine, cedar, larch or birch to other needs.
2. Preparations or revetings do of live wood, of the lower part of trunk. Radially split chock which is longer than future reveting on 5-6 cm into preparations 5-10 cm wide (for the tributary of 15 cm) and 2.5-3 cm thick. Then put preparations for month or more to the room with natural ventilation for drying.
3. Process the dried-up preparations plane and plane, at first from outer side, checking curvature on the template removed from finished product. Then process side surfaces the jointer plane, also taking into account curvature on template, and internal, for reduction of thickness in the middle - the axe. For conicity of tub and camber of barrel the size of expansions of reveting has ratio 1.7-1.8 between the widest and narrowest part. For tub the lower end, for barrel - the middle of reveting is wider.
4. For production of hoops take hot-rolled steel band 1.6-2 mm thick and 30-50 mm wide. For calculation of length of future hoop, to the barrel sizes on the place of tie add the double width of strip. Bend tape in ring, punch or drill openings and rivet soft steel wire with a diameter of 4-5 mm. Bead one edge of each hoop the hammer on anvil. In the location on flank the hoops are called so: central - ""onions"", extreme - ""chime"", intermediate - ""cervical"".
5. Collect barrel on plain surface, having drawn in to chime hoop brackets against each other two revetings. Then, in turn we insert the following revetings, collecting the first half of barrel, and also the second half. Taping the hammer, we rebuff hoop before dense connection of revetings by regions. If there is interval into which the last reveting does not get, be not afraid to podstrugat it up to the necessary width, or take out one more narrow reveting and insert wide.
6. Straighten skeleton faces with the hammer, put on onions hoop and against the stop spread it by means of naboynik. Having exposed basis exactly, pull together other edge of skeleton with rope loop with the lever. Having got the second chime hoop, level the ends of revetings by plane-gorbachem, in 2-3 mm from hoops. From one edge of skeleton make by means of the chimer groove depth and 3 mm wide from the inside into which you will insert bottom subsequently.
7. Collect bottom from the boards adjusted at the edges, having hammered together them brackets then cut off on in advance drawn circle. Insert bottom after you weaken chime hoop a little, regulating density of occurrence and pressing easy blows of the hammer. Also the second bottom on the other hand, with only that difference is inserted that in it at first drill filling hole with a diameter of 30-32 mm to which adjust stopper.
