Making barrel hoops

[Capt. Bo of the WTF co.]

I have lost my link to a site with drawings that showed how to make willow barrel hoops and the cuts necessary to join the ends of the hoops. Does anyone have access to such they would be willing to share? I found a small oak keg with thin copper bands that I want to turn into a powder keg prop for my hide-hunter camp. Thanx.
