Let's Make A Coffee Pot- Part 1

I'm in the midst of doing another Chuckwagon Cook and being as I've already covered the Cook I thought doing a few videos concentrating on some of the associated details might be a good idea.  So, here is how I go about making a Chuckwagon Coffee Pot.  It's not a hard thing to make but getting it right is something we want to do so our cook has the right equipment to turn out a good cup of Joe!  And you certainly can'd do a Chuckwagon Cook without a coffee pot in there somewhere.   Here's the video:

The photo to the Cook on the left is one I did quite a few years ago. I can't make out the date which is a good reminder to make sure your photos capture those important facts.  He's got his coffee made, cups in hand, and is waiting for the boys to crawl out of their bedrolls and stumble over for a cup of wake-up.  As Arbuckles coffee was the brand any good cook would choose I included a case of it and a opened package on top.  The cups are tin.  Overall a pretty neat little scene.

I hope you can follow along and carve one of your own and comments are welcome as always.  Here's the video link:

    I am bac from a short vacation to visit my son, and ready for some carving. My son wants a boot to use as a pencil holder on his desk, and boy am I lucky you had a video on carving a pair of boots a while back...guess what I am going to be watching and following for a bit?

    The coffee pot will also be interesting, I love seeing how you do different objects as opposed to the people all the time..keeps it interesting. I like the people, don't get me wrong, but the extras are wonderful and really make the carvings "pop". Should be fun to carve the fixin's for a chuckwagon meal..are we going to carve the eggshells next to throw into the pot to settle the grounds before we pour a nice steaming cup of cobboy coffee?

    Another great project for all of us to work on along with you. Sure seems very easy/simple to do when watching you, but then you've done a few and have a great eye for detail.

    How do you go about determining the size (scale) of the pot when you carve one? Will you be doing the cups as well?

    As always - thanks to you both!
