Mastercrafts part 1 of 6 - Green Woodcraft

[@saltqueer]

the comment the host made about the feeling of seeing something all the way from the tree being cut down to the finished object made me think of how in the last year ive been learning how to forage plants from the woods behind my house. i personally am not that interested in woodworking, but i learned how harvest stinging nettle to make twine, which was a really cool experience. or, since i live in the US there's this invasive edible plant called garlic mustard that i taught myself how to cook last spring and it was an indescribable feeling to be able to walk out into the woods and come back with a core ingredient of my meal. i think people who don't have the opportunity to take something from living plant to finished object they've made are seriously missing out

[@Otto-W]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Not only as a hobbies woodworking but as a good all around educational show.

[@9q7a5z]

What an excellent show. Of course having an interest in woodworking helps. I have always held an interest in those that make chairs appear from a green log. Amazing show where others learn as much about themselves as they do about the craft.

[@codynova]

The look on Charles's face when the green wood expert said "You won't do that again!" was priceless.

[@qhsperson]

+Cody Persinger Especially since it was the second time.

[@beernd4822]

I am so glad that I found these back. Great stuff on youtube

[@Jefferdaughter]

Anyone who has enjoyed this video would probably enjoy 'The Woodwright's Shop'. Produced years ago by an American PBS station, the range of woodworking skills shownin that series was amazing. Only simple handtools were used, similar to what was used in this episode of Mastercrafts.

[@Frankowillo]

It's still on PBS and I still watch it.

[@boblove6574]

when we make particularly furniture we put some of ourselves into it. its tactile living thing wood. I see it as art & therapy never STOP loving xx

[@Jefferdaughter]

And throwing away perfectly good items made of wood is... stupidity, yet people do it all the time. Gotta go buy some new junk made with plastic, or pressed wood that outgasses chemicals. (At least this happens all the time in America.)

[@la-li-lule-lo6339]

Made some of my own furniture before without powertools, including a bookrack, bamboo stem table, and standard table from scratch. I always recycle any wood I have or find dumped... 2 home made pergolas in the garden too, something about working wood I find quite relaxing.. these pieces are very artsy though, mine are merely functional, no detail, no nic-nacs... I've always been amazed by medieval toy-making and stuff as I worked in achaeology where I unearthed combs made from bone, skates made from bone, tools made from wood, toys made from wood... I miss this sort of craftiness by our own hands in this world. I didn't know Monty had another amazing show series aside of "around the world in 80 gardens and gardeners world". Awesome , will enjoy the next parts tomorrow, loooking forward to blacksmithing in particular

[@futurecaredesign]

I love the fact that the expert and judge shows up in a homespun shirt covered in stains! :D

[@donataspimpasas]

I started working with green wood because dry wood is too expensive to buy and cut trees I always see left on streets or people just happy to get rid of them. Started making spoons, then shrink pots, clothes hangers, workbench, so many things you can do

[@zhiqiangliu2148]

Awesome!!! From China

[@colmhain]

This is a great show. I wish 'Murica would produce shows like this.

[@lotsofwood]

Pole lathe... new project to try!

[@fabian8813]

Just wonderful, been searching for "build woodworking tools" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Denia Diyictoria Bulldozer - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my colleague got amazing success with it.

[@lcj9564]

Good stuff! I learned so much from watching this!

[@IAW888]

Beautiful craft.

[@jawdatfares2831]

That's was awesome,,,, keep up the good work

[@mauriciodeiana1111]

Hello, first of all sorry for my translation Spanish - English (Google Translate) Video 8:49 minutes played, the teacher takes a seat on a bench where will revajar a timber. My question is: how is called the workbench? Hola, ante todo perdón por mi traducción español - inglés (Google Traductor) En el minuto 8:49 del vídeo, el maestro toma asiento en un banco donde va a revajar una madera. Mi pregunta es: ¿como se llama el banco de trabajo?

[@ashscott6068]

+Mauricio Deiana In the video, the man called it a "shaving horse"

[@jimbo2629]

When Sarah made her tenon too small,a real bodger could have wedged it in the mortise and shown another skill. Throwing it in the fire -ugh. There is a tool like a large pencil sharpener for making tapered round tenons. I don’t think the bodgers around High Wycombe had vernier calipers. Turning to 17.5mm ain’t going to work for any absolute beginner. The art of teaching includes not overfacing the pupil.

[@matthewwheaton5835]

All hand tools...and then out comes the power drill ????

[@Frankowillo]

He should have used a hand auger.

[@hallets1956]

Thanks for the upload :)

[@Mossyz.]

56:07 At this point i THOUGHT he was gunna say to Charles : "This says FIRE WOOD"

[@robertcornelius3514]

Guys, it's too easy to be critical these days. A simple video, yes indeed. I liked it.

[@scorpioninpink]

So Greenwood Craft is basically furniture making with no modern tools?

[@MikhailKalyuzhny]

amazing lathe!

[@maakatipa4613]

What about the one that got away ? That was huge !

[@MrJohnnydublin]

Monty wanted to do all the crafts but greenwood working was his most sought n

[@ramairgto72]

Anyone know the end credit music?

[@andrewduncan2878]

Sounds like Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve to me.

[@daandeleeuw5524]

Very nice film (y)

[@richardgraham65]

Interesting, however the guy that uses "Traditional Methods" to manage the woodlands with his horse seemed like he was using maybe a 17th Century "Olde Worlde Stihl Saw" - bit pointless blathering about the horse part!

[@Nick-qp2wn]

What was the special tenon cutting tool?

[@diabolicalartificer]

A 22mm spanner.

[@TheHeraldOfChange]

Function over Form!

[@qhsperson]

+Tsc Tempest Form follows function, though.

[@christopherhinton6456]

its a shame no one wants to pass on the trade.

[@Mr71paul71]

and nowadays our joiners being turned out by the local colleges can't even sharpen their own saws !!!!

[@jimbo2629]

If you view the films of the bodgers, they worked their pole lathes much higher. I wonder why. No point in making Greenwood parallel tenons to 0.1mm as they will shrink. Setting a novice against a professional woodworker is just a tv gimmick. A woodwork teacher wearing a tie. Not health and safety. Chair design is full of complicated angles and maybe curves, which were not covered. Bodgers only roughly turned out Windsor chair parts. They were factory finished in High Wycombe. Tenons were often tapered and maybe wedged.

[@salvadorelmercabotageiii9148]

then fells a tree with a chainsaw

[@AA-69]

WHAT IS THE BLOODY POINT IN WATCHING ANY MORE ?!?! Sarah goes from making firewood and tears one day , to building a full chair the next !!! Yeah, Right ...How Stupid do they think we are 🦧

[@stansfieldmcelroy]

he may be a good workwooder but he seems a poor teacher the way he treated the woman

[@AA-69]

This could do without the drama and tears...They wanted equality, as long as hard work isn't involved !

[@juliajs1752]

She very obviously is too timid to put her strength into the wood and risk simply failing and trying again. I wonder if that's because when she was at school, she probably wasn't allowed to do workshop and had to learn to sew and crochet in household class. You might be surprised how difficult it was even a few decades ago to get out of the gender stereotyping at school.

[@abndnd4172]

4 guys and a woman. guess who has to be bad at it

[@colindee7347]

Judge

[@janolsen7188]

I find it difficult to believe that Sarah is so out of touch with working greenwood.Normally people gets interested in works where they instinctly knows this is something for me!?It is about salting the video,giving some flavour to the program.

[@Pink-Gin]

Don't worry Sarah love. The smug git obviously hasn't realised that he's a crap teacher.. I know where I would have been shoving those sticks and it wouldn't have been on the fire..

[@ACS402010]

Women and their shortcomings....are hilarious. All the over emotional whining and the crying. Sarah SUCKED and should never have been on this show. End of story

[@DKVR]

That women better find a new career then. She has children for crying out loud.

[@deezynar]

+strongpillow Indeed! Her ex-husband needs to step in and raise his kids while she gets established in her trade.

[@Ruru_d4.m0nst4rzz]

sarah is annoying

[@josephwinkler4863]

Yeah I also felt bad for the girl but she was a very good sport about it I didn’t like the criticism they gave her I absolutely understand it I just didn’t like it

[@la-li-lule-lo6339]

I don't like that nature has to die though for us... Wish we could use dead trees for building but indeed, logic says their wood isn't strong anymore...

[@peterjansson6387]

La-Li-Lu Le-Lo dead trees are usually more valuable for the eco-system than live wood

[@Jefferdaughter]

Relax. Nothing on this planet lives except that something else dies. (Except maybe the bacteria that feed on the chemicals coming from the hot deep sea vents.) The wood used in this show was almost certainly from managed coppiced woodland, where the trees are cut at intervals, and resprout from the living roots. The trees then regrow much more rapidly, since the roots are established and don't need to regrow. (The balderdash about plant roots dying off when the tops are cut is just that. There is an interesting KZbin video featuring Dr. Elaine Ingham illustrating this point using grass plants.)
