    Barrel Making
    Composition of James Browne Cloonee
    There is a cooper in Mohill Water Streets named John Brady. He makes barrells and churns and repares old ones. The boards on the side of the barrels are called staves.There is a gruve on the bottom (inside) of the staves to hold the bottom. Hoops are put round the barrel to keep it together.
    These Hoops are joined with rivets.
