Very good, 👍

Is this hazel nut trees?

🇨🇦 VERY GOOD JOB

I'm of an age when there would be hurdle making competitions at all the village fairs, but noticed, even then, that it was the same fellows every year ... but all one year older.

Great job !! Love the baskets!!

first came across some of these traditional rural crafts about 15 years ago, they're just captivating to me. What could be achieved with so little. i've experimented with making them before, and even making semi-permanent containers, like leaf/compost bins, in a process somewhere between basketweaving and hurdle making. Don't have much hazel where i live, but i found that privet shares *some* of the qualities, but exceeds none. It can be twisted, sometimes.

Excellent craftmanship. Thank you very much for sharing.

Now that's an old time craft that I never heard of. Very informative and enjoyable video. Newly subscribed! Cheers! Whipple

So that is where the term splitting image is form

A wonderful old craft, thank you.

I never appreciated just how much time and Labour went into these baskets. Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic, I’d really love to be able to make these. If I come across a load of hazel then I’ll try.Thanks for sharing. Why are they made with a bend in them and not straight ?

An old thatcher told me when showing me how to make spars that many were sceptical about plastic spars because they were so flammable and wouldn’t hold during a fire meaning the thatch could slide.

I spotted these fields on LiDAR a few months ago, I originally thought they were evidence of a massive flood. Makes me want to see them in their full glory, must have put a modern allotment to shame.

Very informative ❤

Wow, that was super informative and interesting

THATS NOT FUCKING SWEET CHESTNUT THATS FUCKING ASH!!! FUCK!!!

These would be great for sides on the Geo domes for a Green house! Make TEN at ten feet and then you need 35 A sticks at ten feet to make the long triangle and then 35 B 9 feet ones short triagles for the other part of the 2 V then you have a Geo dome green house just need to cut the plastice for top and one to go around !

amazing!

Outstanding

I’m watching in awe! I have hazels growing on my 15-acre land in the NC mountains, where I plan to learn and incorporate the old, nearly lost , practical crafts. Is there any reason why we shouldn’t make the hurdles a bit taller?

Fantastic and so informative and unflash

Such good common sense, lovely work, thank you for sharing

Beautiful work

That was super cool!

very nice! and a new word in my vocabulary: cock-eyed😁

Proper hurdle making. My Dorset farming father, born in 1927 was in awe of these amazing skills. Thank you so much. I was teary watching this. You are ensuring these skills are not lost.

what species of hazel ? asking from Missouri, USA as there are a variety available

Excellent video

How long will these hurdles last?

Nimble folk used to show their skill by jumping over these until it became an Olympic running sport.

Where he from?

I absolutely love your videos, you’re an excellent instructor, I could watch you all day. Wish I could come visit + study for a few weeks ☺️

Wow. Hilarious, instructive and soothing. Thank you Chris Salisbury.

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for demonstrating this.

Its great to see the old skills and trades are not dieing out.

This is why I love KZbin this visual library of human tool creation.... bloody brilliant!

I look forward to making my first hurdle.

Nice to hear a Northamptonshire accent on KZbin, albeit faint.

I absolutely loved watching this, thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing this time honored technique. Great job, Sir. I'm looking forward to trying my hand at this soon.

Great teaching video! Thank you!

An excellent video

Very enjoyable and well made video. I dabble in black ash basketry and love to see how other cultures fashion containers. My hope is the craft of basketry will have a major revival. Truly renewable containers are sorely needed. Plastics are ruining the world. I'm imagining which north american woods I'd make a trug from. I'm in northern NY and white oak is pretty scarce and pricey. Tons of ash but the ash borers have finally arrived and ash is under threat. I'm trying to fill my pond with logs before it's all gone.

Superb craftsmanship. Thank you for uploading

Wonderful video

Excellent work, needs himself a big pair of levered loppers for the trimming up, the fiskars ones work a treat, will save him hours with the amount he makes

Face it toward the field, as they hold many rodents. A farmer reduced his gophers by the thousands!

Hi Bert just finished watching your film it was wonderful thanks Moggy Mark Sumner in Solihull.

Are you able to advise where we can buy the willow and chestnut poles from Bert?
