Question

I had a small runlet or two, as I observed before; but I could never arrive at the capacity of making one by them, though I spent many weeks about it; I could neither put in the heads, or join the staves so true to one another as to make them hold water; so I gave that also over.

Accepted Answer

Como ya he dicho, tenía uno o dos barriles pero nunca llegué a fabricar uno, aunque pasé muchas semanas intentándolo. No conseguía colocarle los fondos ni unir las duelas lo suficiente como para que pudiera contener agua; así que me di por vencido.
