I Designed a Stave Wooden Bucket using SketchUp

In this video, I designed a Stave Wooden Bucket, that I built for a client to go with their bar cart. I used SketchUp to determine the proportions of the bucket, and the angle of how much the bucket tapered from top to bottom. I was then able to determine what angle and taper I needed to set the table saw up so I could cut the compound angles needed to construct the bucket. I even had a little fun in drawing a rope handle even though it was probably a moot point and should have used a different technique in the end.
