Impressions Cooper

I want to learn more about the ancient method of making barrels. As a "cooper". Any direction or advice?

I would suggest looking up the MWTCA (Midwest Tool Collectors Association) you will find a lot of collectors who collect Coopers tool as well as a couple that use them. You should be able to find like minded people there.
Good Luck
