Great shot. Looking at the implement the man on the left was operating I suspect that it helped them to form up the cask? Any experts out there to tell us how it was done?

Swordscookie Would indeed welcome input from any coopers out there! It looks as if the foot pedal thingy (technical term) helped to increase pressure on the hoops??

Looks more like a fire, the foot pedal would pump air into it to increase the heat. The hoops are heated before they are put around the cask.

I think you're right Michiel! I was looking at the shape but when you view it at original size you can see it a lot better and it seems to be a portable furnace - for heating the rivets perhaps? I like the specialised anvil the other cooper is working on, specially adapted for his needs and no need for bending the back unnecessarily!

Michiel2005 Swordscookie Ah, that makes sense - a sort of brazier type affair...

Apologies for veering off topic - although not too far - but Helena Zinkham, head of the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress, gave us all a lovely compliment on the LOC's blog. She's been involved in Flickr Commons from when it was just a twinkle in George Oates' eye. Anyway, Helena says:
"... For example, in the National Library of Ireland’s photostream, delightful conversations develop as a group pieces together the story for each photograph..."
I think we're the only ones who get a special mention. :)

Sigh - it's spelt 'Treacy' in the photo ( the number of times I have to correct the spelling in England then to see it on an Irish site ...)

The "Tracey's" but, the name is T. TREACY Tobaccanist / News Agent. Maybe they misspelled it.
