Sorry Ben, All I have is a wonderful picture from Bushmills Distillery, County Antrim with two "coopers" standing in front of a large stack of barrels, presumedly about to be filled with Irish Whiskey, ("uísce beatha" in Irish). One of them is about to place a hoop on the barrel in front of him while the other stands by with a special cooper's hammer, at the ready. When I was at the Jameson Distillery, Bow Street, Dublin, I discovered the Pub was called, "Cooper's Rest." Will Cooper
