Traditional Cooperage and Vessel Construction

Its printed title: Tight, Slack, and White Cooperage: Historical Guild Praxis, Wood Anatomy, Thermomechanical Fabrication, and Biochemical Hygiene in Post-Industrial Agro-Ecosystems

The cooper's craft as practised in Brandenburg, with its three trades: tight casks for liquids, slack barrels for dry goods and the white cooper's tubs, pails and churns. It covers guild history and old Berlin measures, putting the Berliner Ohm at 149.804 litres, then timber anatomy, seasoning, stave work, oak's effect on cider, wine and brine, cleaning and biofilms, and measured designs for a plunge churn and a carved dough trough. Kepler's cask formula and other equations were lost in extraction.
