i wonder what the bucket is made of

that was my same thought, it looks like a metal bucket..
I was waiting for the bottom to fall out, or just melt.

Tungsten has a melting point of 6,300 deg.F. Highest of all metals.

The lava would be around 1000 deg C and a steel bucket would be good to about 1500 deg C (2700F).

It also looks like he might have water in the bucket.
