[@tess9726]

[@imngu4099]

When your too impatient for them to grow

[@simplyjena4116]

[@cheriberry3]

When your to impatient to diy one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@1tzyakingnub285]

When you dont want to see it die

[@sameermunshi1615]

Well it takes decades to even make a moderate size Bonsai, ofc ppl are impatient.

[@benaquino2124]

Im a wire artist too and a real bonsai grower as well. Who says you need to grow a tree first to make it look good?

[@misstricksmix]

Amazing work !

[@chasmal_forest.]

I have a strange fascination with metal and now I want one of these 🤩

Excellent Work & Idea ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@LatestAfricanTales]

Just awesome

[@cheypam]

I absolutely LOVE these! I wish I knew how to make one! I know I wouldn't be able to stop at just one! Kinda like potato chips! 😂

[@Jessethecraftsmen]

Just give it a try. What could go wrong.👍🏻😄

[@rohithnechikkunnan8374]

Awesome 😍😍😍😍

[@artwist_sudeep]

Beautiful 🥰

[@rbmx123]

Something that takes Decades to become a symbol of Bonsai now only takes weeks and doesn’t need to be watered, I would say it’s perfect for people who are very busy and don’t have the time to take proper care of a bonsai or the patience.

[@Titania0909]

That is the silliest assumption I’ve ever read. One in no precludes the other and do you know what goes into make these trees? Obviously not as you would not have made such a ridiculous comment.

[@matthewnotify5756]

how many times has be gotten pricked, i hate getting pricked by wires

[@andrinabarrette5149]

Stunning work, I’m getting into it as well, but I noticed that little tool you use to twists the roots, did you make it yourself ?

[@bunbun6898]

Joonie would love these ^^

[@juliusjameslauresta8142]

What wire and gauge used to make these? Thanks

[@buddymcclure6170]

Love it! What type of tool are you using to bend the wire?

[@kewi]

Could you tell me what the songs in this video are? They're both beautiful.

[@mainanjadul-oi9wj]

it is very good

[@davidblankenship2503]

Where can I purchase the tool you are using on the roots

[@martino8114]

May I ask if you can share the formula for calculating the quantity and lengths of wire needed for a design? Include any system you have for sketching the design out first. Thank you in advance!

[@argehandmadeknives1550]

Where can i buy one of these bonsai sculptures please

[@lalaillanes6751]

where to buy this materials

[@elefanteist]

Gostei

[@lalune59]

What are the tools called please and Where can I get tools please

[@cheriberry3]

Does anyone know what the tool is that he's using at the base of the trunk when he starts??? I'm looking to DIY one and I don't want to put a whole bunch of holes in a bucket.

[@Matthew21117]

Did you find it? Also looking

[@sarachamorrocostain2396]

Cuantos alambres usas y q medidas

[@ABC-ud1ju]

This man: I will make copper bonsai tree Oxidation: I am about to end the whole career of this man

[@nikhilgupta091]

This is amazing work. Could you please tell what is gauge of copper wire used in these projects.

[@UltimateRatKing]

Does anyone knows the song they used for the last song?

[@martino8114]

What’s the tool he twists the roots with

[@timothyebreo6590]

What kind of wire he/she use?

[@ninomosiashvili7081]

I would like to know the name of your used tool. I’m looking for that kind of precise pliers. Do you mind sharing?

[@thomasyo75]

I was wondering the same, it looks like a standard flat bit tip (screwdriver) with a slot cut out of the middle (presumably using a dremmel or similar)

[@jillcortright7602]

I want to know what that wooden disc is called so I can order one. I already make trees, but have never seen this tool

[@JLR47]

It looks like a round price of wood with holes drilled into it..easy to make yourself. Or have your dad or husband make one for you 😊

[@Titania0909]

Where can I find a “jig” like the one used here? Is that even the proper term for it?? My hands could definitely use the help!

[@thetruthchannel7073]

Diy easy...round piece of thin ish plywood and drill holes in it. ..simple

[@thetruthchannel7073]

Get template of the Internet. .mark it out done..then drill

[@ericputian975]

What kind of wire did you used? Pls tell me I want to make mine own too...

[@thetruthchannel7073]

It's called bonsai wire...aka plant binding wire ...metal craft wire...

[@someonehere8280]

Does he glue it, if not that’s very impressive but good luck getting it back on without bending it again

[@malak-chan3369]

WOW ♥

[@dkurush1]

[@GigiM_winx]

[@RohitGupta-bl2fp]

[@kalpanagurung8568]

[@thetruthchannel7073]

Aluminium because it's easy to bend just craft wire

[@jacobvanover2791]

Where do I buy a jig for the wire?

[@JLR47]

Make one with a chunk of wood and a drill

[@samanthaclark6937]

What kind of why are you using and how to get it

[@thetruthchannel7073]

It's just craft wire they used it on bonsais real ones plant wire etc all different gauges

[@skychavis9140]

My dad makes these all the time

[@jrwarner5465]

Where can I buy copper wire for bonsai tree?

[@thetruthchannel7073]

It's most likely aluminium craft wire not copper you're too expensive

[@anupamaunnikrishnan8259]

What is the thickness of wire used in mm

[@cooldude7473]

The wire gauge is usually 24 to 26. Visit our store amzn.to/2BBVS5O

[@cheriberry3]

Anywhere from 14-26 mm. Just depends on what you want. 🥰

[@thetruthchannel7073]

Crazy response nowhere near them size gauges looks like from 3 to 5 mm Max

[@debjanibhowmick5870]

How does he curls the foliage?

[@DomFileoreum]

The leaves are just little circles wrapped arround a round object, it was probally a pointy pilers
