Barrel makers are called coopers.
A barrel maker is called a cooper.
It depends on the barrel.
It didn't, in 1971 coopers were discontinued after cutbacks at British Leyland (makers of the mini at the time) The next coopers didn't roll of the production line till 1991 as interest in the historic cars began to re-surface.
Coopers used tools such as a croze for making grooves in the barrel staves, a barrel chisel for shaping the staves, a hammer for pounding the hoops into place, and a compass to mark out the size of the barrel. They also used a plane for smoothing the staves and a driver tool for setting the hoops in place.
