Jeremy,

It is all brass from the rack at the local farm store. I can get you some measurements if you want. The bottom is made from a pretty thick piece that was full width (1.5" I think) and I basically found a patent drawing of a bucket that I printed to a size that looked about right for the scale of the machine.

Let me see if I can find the link that I used. One of the photos in the build has the print under the bucket in one shot.

The video at 1:50 shows the drawing I used. I basically used the drawing to match the curve of the bottom piece. Still looking for the link, stand by...

Okay, let's see if this link works...

And this should be the full document...

And mine measures .070" center base plate 2" wide at the mouth and I tapered it a bit toward the rear to make it load a bit better. The sides are about 1" tall and I made them from thinner .035" but they could have also been .070" to add weight to the bucket. I thought about adding wear bars to the under side of the bottom and maybe sides to give it more mass.
