nice charcoal, mate! I have been working quite a lot on producing charcoal, so far the best method I have used is that of Jon Jandai here on youtube. It's a retort based design, so the wood is not burned but rather the tar and water is "sweated" out of the wood, from the sorrounding fire so the yield is higher than this and the lumps are larger. The downside, however, is that it's more involved to construct and maintain when in operation. The charcoal you made looks brilliant for blacksmithing so I should give this a go. Thanks for documenting the process. Cheers from Denmark

Thank you its great for forging. The only down side is it burns very fast but is very clean so ideal for fire welding. And Thank you for mentioning Jon Jandai's method I watched his vid, very interesting I would certainly like to try this method some time with British hardwoods 👍

Make the stump a bit slanted on the final cut, helps the water run off and prevents pooling and rot

I have a line if mature hazels along 2 sides of a 2 acre badly fenced field. I want to selectively coppice, taking out the largest branches I can from each tree. I do have rabbits and deer so want to avoid coppicing entire trees. I'll be using it fir firewood and I also want to ensure the longevity of the trees. I think they were planted a little too close given how neglected they are. Your video was very useful, thanks.
@juliadean2473 Жыл бұрын
Brilliant and thorough video. I'm encouraged to deal with all the hazel that's overgrown along by a stream and I will be doing a positive as opposed to a destructive environmental thing. Thank you!

We've returned to this video again today as we're going to try this technique to make our own charcoal. We plan to film our attempt for our channel and we'll definitely give you a shout out for being the inspiration. This is a really informative video and we can't wait to give it a go ourselves - just need to find the drum, but they seem readily available for not much money on eBay. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. All the best, Matt and Finn

@Woodforgeuk2 жыл бұрын
Hi Ian, thank you. That is a Morris Devon Billhook I purchased from one of my greenwood working tutors. Its pretty good for coppice work and riving hazel, sometimes I have used it for hedgelaying. The holster is one I made myself after seeing the types people wear at the hedgelaying championships. Hope that helps.

If You don't block holes in crown board and let bees between it and the roof then what is the point of having it? It is there to stop bees propolising roof to hive. If you feel that they need extra ventilation use porter escapes or a piece of ply with mesh in it. Regards Rob

Good video, that was accurate and well presented with good information for beginners. Glad to see that you have the same respect for the trees you take down as I have and use every bit of the tree. Well done!

I was amazed to learn yesterday that an Ash tree can live for about 200 years, but if coppiced, it can live for a 1000, and that there's a tree in England that's been coppiced and estimated to be around 3000 years old! Apparently it's because they're kept permanently in a youthful state of growth.Prior to learning this I always felt bad cutting trees back. Thanks for your instructions!
