I admit, this was kind of a silly project but I was up for the challenge. Buckets are actually pretty challenging to make! Each of the staves is tapered and beveled so you have to get the cuts just right for everything to fit together perfectly. On top of that, I tried out bent lamination for the first time, I turned a handle for the bucket without a lathe, and I did the entire project without any metal fasteners. All in all, this definitely challenged my skills but ended up being the fanciest bucket you'll ever see!
