I've searched the net high and low and can find how-to's for most woodworking subjects but nothing at all in the way of a guide to coopering. I want to make a chest with a coopered lid. Making the chest is easy with comb joints etc but it's the lid which is the problem, any pointers to links with helpful advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks, that does help greatly. A few of the links I've come across already but I think it'll be a case of trial and error until I get it as I want.

Cheers :)
