Dated "1793" Cooper's Barrel Scribe
Coopering means to do the work of a cooper. A cooper makes or repairs casks, which is a skill that takes many years to learn. Examples of a cooper's work include but are not limited to casks, barrels, buckets, tubs, butter churns, hogsheads, firkins, tierces, rundlets, puncheons, pipes, tuns, butts, pins, and breakers. The word is derived from Middle Dutch kūpe, "basket, wood, tub" and may ultimately stem from cupa, the Latin word for vat.
Other tools a cooper might use: Dowelling Stock, Side-axe, Bick Iron, Round Stave, Bung-hole Borer, Chive, Topping Plane, Hammer, Flagging Iron, Driver, Adze, Diagonals, Croze, Inside Shave, Swift, Downright, Buzz, Heading Knife, Jigger and hollowing Knife.
