Overview
What You’ll Do
Be a key part of turning authentic whiskey barrels into handcrafted lawn, garden, and home improvement products sold in major retail stores across the country:
- Craft & Assemble: Operate pneumatic and electric tools to cut, assemble, and shape half-barrel planters and decorative wooden garden products.
- Hands-On Handling: Roll, position, lift, and maneuver whole and half wooden whiskey barrels throughout the production area and covered outdoor yard spaces.
- Team Coordination: Team up with supportive coworkers for tandem lifts on heavy or awkward stock using coordinated, safe lift techniques.
- Stacking & Staging: Safely stack barrels, half-planters, and pallets using chocks and proper runners to keep work zones clean, plumb, and stable.
- Quality First: Check staves, hoops, and timber for quality defects (splits, loose bands, or rot) so only the best craftsmanship leaves the yard.
- Equipment Use: Utilize material handling aids like pallet jacks, drum trucks, and barrel clamps to move products without damaging the wood.
