Very nice job. I did one, with the exaggerated top bend as in the Olso ship dig. Have yet to tackle a cauldron. ;0)

Oo, nice. You should post a pic of that one. Yeah, don't know about the pot. Haven't yet actually tried it in action. I guess it'll take a couple of burnt peasoups to make it watertight :)

A gruesome mixture of milk and flour, followed by an oil treatment, works miracles in tightening pots.
Looks great :)

I wonder what cauldrons were sealed with in period? Pitch? Wax if for cold water? A fired clay insert? Pine resin? Copper solder? Tinned? They didn't have the food and drug admin, ...so no telling? The rivets in the excavated examples are not close enough for a seal, I don't know?

I don't think I have a pic of that project. Made it and sold it at an event years ago. I'll have to do another.
