i set about making a barrel looking shrink pot from some ash,and once made i thought it would make a fine drinking vessel so i set about making the handle and lid,which was a challenge! no glues or nails used in construction,just a hand filed tapered pin for the hinge,all i have to do now is seal around the base with brewers pitch to make it water tight.

Very nice
that is the mutts nutts, the dogs danglies, really really brilliant, how is the handle fixed to the pot?
I keep seeing shrink pots, and thinking, yup I'll give it a go, after all we have loads of free wood, but once we get over the woods, we soon forget and get on with other jobs
I reckon that needs some mead in it.
Top job fish!
sweet fish, great stein, a goblet has been on my to do list for way to long.
brewers pitch?? need to look into that
cheers for the share

Take your time and do not rush, take in every thing while out in the brush.
cheers guys,the handle is dowelled,hand made ones and the holes made with knife only. i like the idea of mead.
