Vicki's Wood 'n Things

When the barrel holding my "hens & chicks" started falling apart last summer I started thinking

about making my own bucket. I searched the web and was able to find some helpful articles that

explained how to go about it.

I bought 1X4X8 red cedar at Lowes. I needed 1 1/2

boards to make my 12"dameter bucket. I ran

them through the paner and then put a 15 degree

ange on each edge wth my tabe saw. Be sure to

attach a pece ofstraght scrap as an auxary ence

so that when you run the board through the second

tme the rst anged edge doesnt get stuck under

the saws ence. Look cosey and you can see Ive

camped a pece ofOSB to mne. I used my

Zag/Staney 2-Way Adustabe Fodng Sawhorse

wth adustabe heght to "catch"the ong boards as

they came ofthe saw.

Next,I cut 10 - 9"ong peces usng my mter saw

wth a stop bock camped to the actory stop to gve

me the proper ength wthout measurng each

pece. Ater that I measured and marked 2 peces

to be cut 11"ong or the rope hande to be attached

to ater.

Beore I went any urther I dd a dry-t,usng a

strap camp to hep the staves ne up. I was ucky

and everythng t ncey.

Next I routed dados whch woud gve a nce groove

or the back bandng that woud ater be apped to

"st"n . I used a 3/4"straght bt n my router

tabe. I adusted the ence so that the top ofthe

dado woud be 1 1/2"rom the top,or bottom when

the stave s pped. I set the depth to 1/8". The

nsde ofthe bucket has a 1/4"deep dado,1 1/2"

rom the bottom to receve a pywood crce (mne

was cut wth a 11 1/4"dameter)or the ower pot

to st on. Be sure to drla 1"hoe n the pywood

base or dranage.

Trm the corners ofthe two 11"staves. I marked

my dagonalne 1"n rom each sde and 1"down

rom the top. That gave me a tte trange shape I

snpped ofwth the mter saw. Drla centered

hoe 1"from the top ofeach 11"stave wth a bt of

approprate sze to accommodate the sze ofrope

you wluse or the hande.

Gue up needs to move qucky and s rather nerve

rackng wth so many peces. I ad down the staves

n a straght ne ater nng everythng up n a

"standng"poston. I apped gue to 2 staves,

oned them,stood them up and kept addng staves

to ths structure. Ater 5 or 6 staves,appy gue to

the crce base and nsert t n the nsde dado. Add

remanng staves. I paced wax paper around the

bucket hed together wth some maskng tape to

keep gue ofmy band camps and keep the camps

rom gettng stuck to the bucket. I apped the

camps,then rpped the mdde secton ofwax

paper out to check stave agnment. I turned the

bucket upsde down and added some camps to ad

n agnment.

Jim Barry, at Woodworkershop.com gave me this tip: Lay out

a width of wax paper longer than the bucket is round. Lay

down 2 or 3 strips of masking tape sticky side up, on the wax

paper. Lay the staves on the tape, the outside of the stave

facing down. Apply glue to all edges required. Start to "roll up"

the staves. When you have 3-4 rolled up, add the bottom (if

one is required in the plan) and continue to roll up. When

done, add your web clamps and let dry.

Another tip comes from John H. of PA: clamp a straightedge

on the bench to align the pieces.

I et the bucket to dry overnght. The next day

when I removed the camps and paper ths s what I

had ater sandng ofa ew gue drps.

I got back bandng rom Lowes umberyard. It was

ree as t was what they cut ofbundes ofumber

and throw out. Cut the bandng to approxmate

ength. Longer woud be better. Camp t n one of

the dados n the center ofthe back,makng sure to

have 2 to 2 1/2"on the "at"porton ofthe stave. I

started wrappng the bandng around the bucket. It

was rather stfso I hed t to the bucket wth a

sprng camp on each stave. When I got to the

"back"I overapped the end a good 2"and ran 2

screws through the bandng,makng sure to secure

the "start"and "nsh"end ofthe bandng. I had 1

1/4"screws and the wood s 3/4"so I snpped of

some ofwhat poked through.

Heres the nshed product n ts'new home.

Unortunatey,due to the drought we had ths year

the owers I panted for t a coupe months earer

ddnt ast very we.

In alhonesty I have to oer a word ofcauton. The

FREE bandng had one drawback. It was a tte

rusty n paces. I consdered stanng t and wsh I

had. After beng exposed to the weather or ew

weeks the bandng "bed"a dark stan down the

sdes ofthe bucket. My hope s that by next year as

the cedar "weathers"the "beedng"wlnot be

notceabe. An aternatve to the metalbandng

coud be a used bke nner tube.

I was ortunate enough to nd an artce at WOOD

Onne caed "Staves & Segments". It expaned

how to cacuate the ange I needed or my staves

and how to cacuate the dameter ofmy bucket.
