A Guide to Stave Construction for Woodworking and Woodturning

Great method :)

can i make in a very long lumbers, 2000 mm for exenplo??

What is a good way to mount that on a lathe?  I don't really have a lot of bells and whistles to mine.  Maybe some way to use a jaw or something?

Nice job as usual Gord.  Inspires me to dust off my lathe

Awesome video! I'm planning on building a stave drum and it was helpful to get an idea of what it takes.

Nice video Gordon!

great video for a robot

Wow, Gordon!  Great video and explanation of stave construction.  Very well done.

Hi Gordon , I found your video very informative and as a newcomer to woodturning have learnt from it  ,many thanks for sharing
All the best Bram

Hellow, good solution for work clamp. Very easy and quick. Bay

Hi Gord.  I have used your stave cutting method before but I am now trying to make wooden buckets (coopering).  I have a method for cutting one taper/bevel that works to make only one size of bucket but I wish to make different size units and don't want to waste expensive wood experimenting.  I was hoping you had a method for stave cutting to vary all the possible sizing (top/bottom diameters) possible.  Thanks for your consideration.   Alan

Muito muito ... MESMO Obrigado útil !!!!

what make wood lathe are you working with?

please turn off the music

I think I will use this to help make a beer mug ;) Nothing like a white oak beer mug...YEAARRRRRR Thanks bud.

Good idea Thx

Don't know how I missed this video, but glad I was going through and watched it. As always I learned something from you, thanks, I'll definitely give this a try.

I have to do this with kit-kat now.

Very well thought out process and well described.
Thank you.
I have a different application that this will work nicely with.
Its close to what I was doing but yours has a couple extra steps that will make the end result a better product.

nice video Gord, very clear, but, what if you want to make not a cilinder but a barrel? staves won´t be straight? do you know how to make them?
regards

Nice, thank you thank you thank you

cool 😎

what if you wanted to make the staves wider in the middle to get a particular effect how can the all be made the same but slightly wider in the middle

Excellent Job! The video, pace, instruction and techniques are all excellent. I subscribed for more.

great video im learning wood and this is helping me alot thanks take care

you dont have videos on how to make barrel staves i want to make barrel tub thanks

Very helpful video! I have a question...After you make the cylinder, How do you mount it on the lathe? Did you make a chuck for it?

Meu nome é Carlos Augusto e moro em uma pequena cidade no interior do Ceará, Brasil. Parabéns pelo trabalho e pela criatividade, tinha muita vontade de ingressar nesse ramo, mais infelizmente minhas condições financeiras ainda não me possibilitam de adquirir máquinas e assessórios. Fica com Deus.

I use any idea that means less wasted wood & money. Terrific tip thank you

Nice

would this work on a larger scale? Say 2ft round?

Excellent, Gord, thank you.
My method is similar to yours, but I have been ripping the stave segments along the table saw rip fence. I now recognize the benefit of cutting them on a sled.

Hi Gord,
Very informative video,,,
Thanks,,,
Tom

👍👍👍👍👍👍🏼👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

Hi Gord,
After following the way you made this stave construction I've made a few pencil/pen "cups" that look like wooden buckets,,,,with a steel handle too!
This got me thinking about making a wine barrel and after watching just about every video here and looking on the web I'm finding that making a wine barrel isn't all that easy to do and have a lot of respect of Coopers now!
I did find one video on how to do the math for stave construction but that math is WAY over my head! LOL
Do you have any ideas on how to "easily" calculate barrel staves?
Thanks for this and all of your videos!
Tom

Kitkat

Brilliant! Thanks a lot...

Good video, greetings from argentinian!

Nice. Very clear video.

This old video just popped up. I cannot believe I haven't seen it yet. Typical Gord rock work. Well produced and very informative. Glad I saw it.

I really learned something new with this video, thanks for sharing great ideas, and I subscribed to be able to watch new and older stuff.🤩❤👍

Thank-you for showing us how to do it easily and right

Great tips on making stave based constructions. Thanks very much for the information. Cheers!

thank you this is helpful

Boy you look young back then. I guess we all do.

Haven’t seen you on lately. Are you okay? Hope you’re doing well and wishing you a great new year.
