Self-boring barrel spigots

This article is about a little-known and hard-to-- find category of wood boring tools which I call self-boring barrel spigots. Also known as boring faucets, these tools consist basically of a liquid-dispensing valve (spigot) and a wood cutting edge (bit) combined in a single tool, along with a means for rotating the cutting edge (usually a brace or bit stock, wrench, or by hand using handles) through the head of a wooden barrel or, in a couple of designs, through an already-in-- place bung or stopper. In most of the designs, the tool is rotated to cut the hole and insert the spigot into the barrel in a single operation. Once attached, the boring spigot usually stayed in place until the barrel was no longer in use. Although the spigot might then be removed and reused in another full barrel, it appears that by always being immersed in liquid the metal bit might oxidize and become useless. Perhaps that is why so few of these early tools have survived.

The Fundamental Problem

How do you tap a full barrel that is laying on its side? A common method was to bore a hole in the barrel using any of a variety of bung borers, boring taps, augers, tapered reamers, and the like. Then install the spigot or pump in the hole, either by friction or threaded fit. Sometimes a special permanent collar would be installed to receive the spigot, so that repeated installations would not destroy the wood around the opening. Another approach was to bore the hole almost through, then place the spigot (or bung ) in the hole and drive it the rest of the way through, breaking out the remainder of the hole but reducing the amount of liquid spilled. If a bung or stopper was already installed, there were two common ways to install the spigot -first remove the bung with a bung puller or bung tickler, or drive the bung into the barrel using the spigot as the drive. Most of these approaches resulted in some spillage of the barrel's contents. If the contents were under pressure the spillage could be significant. If it were molasses or syrup, it could be very messy.

they do match up well, i even think there has been a bit of an influence (of course)

but to say that its the main influence is crapola

it's an illusion, dubstep was never invented, was just discovered

"I was just recently informed that Dubstep started on UK tv first as a series created by Tv producers...featuring many of the current biggest names....hmmmmmm"

the failometer just went off the scale

"Grime is British hip-hop"

er..... no, British hip-hop is Bitish hip-hop. Grime is Grime

Different tempos, sounds, lyrics, styles. Only thing the same is rapper, which is a bit of a stupid connection.

What a tool

He's got some points. However, saying Grime and Crunk influence each other is just non-existent for me. The closest you get to that is "POW!", and I don't thing Lethal was thinking about Crunk. Though I know Flex SUPPOSEDLY tried spinning "Pow" a few times. Would've loved to hear that sandwiched next to say "Purple City Byrdgang".

This guy needs to get up on here.

to be fair i think dizzee rascal was influenced a lot by crunk

but if you listen to most early grime it sounds nothing like crunk at all!!

if you posted this to start a genuine discussion about the inter relatedness of music & culture worldwide then i understand....

if you started it to wave your nationalist penis around in the wind and flex pride due to the accidental circumstance of where you were born, on top of trying to define what any music IS, then this post is no better than your copy paste was originally.

The point about the influence of Timbaland is a good one - I have said for a long time that he is probably more responsible than anyone for the idea that a beat running at sub-80bpm (but with some double time elements) is still danceable, and that helped make dubstep what it is... There's a great DJ mix that Geiom did a while back that kicks off with a Timbaland beat and it makes perfect sense.

But other than that the guy is clearly - how do you Americans say? - a douche.

I think you sort of missed the point - which is that human? is not offering his own opinion but saying "look what someone else has said". He's drawing attention to someone's extreme opinion, because it is quite interesting (and a bit mental).
