How to build a Bucket
the barrel holding my hens chicks started falling apart last summer I started thinking about making my own bucket. I searched the web and was able to find some helpful articles that explained how to go about it.
bought 1X4X8 red cedar at Lowes. I needed 1 1/2 boards to make my 12 diameter bucket. I ran them through the planer and then put a 15 degree angle on each edge with my table saw. Be sure to attach a piece of straight scrap as an auxiliary fence so that when you run the board through the second time the first angled edge doesn't get stuck under the saw's fence. Look closely and you can see I've clamped a piece of OSB to mine. I used my Zag/Stanley 2-Way Adjustable Folding Sawhorse with adjustable height to catch the long boards as they came off the saw.
