Trug Making

In this video Bert Manton shows us how to make a traditional garden trug.

[@chrismullin8304]

These teachings are what the internet is for. Thank you for teaching me!

[@ulfcarlfinnes2820]

Thank you for showing us and teaching us how to make this simple basket. All our children should learn such techniques in school instead of being filled with foolish propaganda.

[@hilaryabbot9297]

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for demonstrating this.

[@AnthonyDibiaseIdeas]

Thank you. These videos are a treasure.

[@PeeWee33772]

Beautiful workmanship, there is a lot to be said for pride in your work. This was a most thorough tutorial in the art I have seen, Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@truckertom3323]

Thanks for sharing this Bert, in a way it kind of reminded me of a series that used to be on in the early seventies with Jack Hargreaves, i used to love coming home from school and watching him on a TV much like the one in the back ground, all the very best to you.

[@JayInOz1]

Tom many of those Jack Hargreaves shows are available on KZbin.

[@chrism3839]

The Willow bark part cracked me up.

[@johnstanton8499]

Yes there was a lot of old Northampton humour in video

[@cableknitter7346]

Watching from NYC.. so very fascinating! But the lovely smile at the end was the best part. 😊

[@EmptyGlass99]

Lovely Northants accent and beautiful craftsmanship.

[@lemhanback9595]

Sir, thank you for sharing your craft here. As I live in the Southeastern USA were people still garden I believe those would be quite handy. You've also helped me solve a slight issue with a possible planter box idea constructed from a nuisance hedge row tree. Handcrafted items are making a comeback, thanks to wonderful people like you sharing how it was done in the past. Now, I just need to build my own shaving horse.

[@markiobook8639]

So a shaving horse is not just to keep your horsey well groomed right? Sorry bad joke.

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

@@markiobook8639I think that is funny…

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

I am sure people in all parts of the USA still garden. Very narrow insular thinking to say otherwise. Also Hand crafted items may be making a come back where you are but where I am they never went away.

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

I would love several of them. They would be perfect for keeping knitting and sewing and weaving items like wools, cottons needles etc. in one place and easy to just pick to and move about.

[@131dyana]

Thank you very much so interesting and handy.

[@52daa]

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

[@BrianGalyer]

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

[@twcmaker]

Love this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've watched this because I'm thinking of making a modern variation on the trug, using waste wood.

[@sislertx]

U should record it and share...i tried the fence...of cpurae in texas there is zero wood that can be used.

[@sosteve9113]

Cool idea indeed

[@ThoughtfulBiped]

Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing. Humans could use a good dose of revisiting the traditional makers of the world and their practical skills. Useful products brought to you by skilled craftspeople in tune with the land and its renewable resources. Who could ask for more?

[@royworks7986]

Great job showing us how to make one. I have had one for years. I know it will last longer than me. Thanks!

[@Mkalikapisa-ui7by]

My mother's is now 60 years old. Just had the nails renewed; good to go again

[@moggymarkshobbies]

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

[@stephenrice4554]

Very good demonstration. Lots of tips for repairing the old truggs I have . 👍🇬🇧

[@timothylongmore7325]

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.

[@hrxy1]

what a pleasant natured young fella, looks like a fergusanTX9 in the background, excellent quality video and explanation

[@markpyrah667]

Very good video ,cheers

[@scotthaddad563]

I sure am glad to have come across your video! I somehow acquired a Trug a number of years back (10or20) and had no idea what it was or what to call it. Mystery solved. Now if I can just remember where I put it. ?????

[@michelleadams1212]

Beautiful work. A pleasure to watch.

[@stantilton2191]

Wonderful, thank you for demonstrating.

[@robmarshallofficial]

Thank you for this. Very informative. I’m currently waiting on some good weather to make my shaving horse. I now know to add some extra bits for being able to make these beautiful baskets

[@GiGiRenea]

Beautiful! You're a lovely soul ❤

[@richswain7154]

[@glennwoods2462]

So awesome these videos... Love your work, Bert....

[@WoodworkingDaddy]

Great video!

[@viridiangreen8259]

💛 your craft so very much

[@garywakefield9830]

I love watching this video , ive must have watch at least ten times, im in the process of making my first trug, if possible ,can i ask what size nails are used ?

[@louiseswart1315]

Thank you for sharing the trusted skills from the past. What is that circle of rods behind you to your right going to become?

[@leannekudahl2432]

Wow so wonderful to watch :)

[@annanelson6830]

Excellent. Thank you for a delightful video. Why sweet chestnut?

[@ThePszczolkarz]

Now I want a trug:)

[@fngrusty42]

Would love to hear about your shaving horse. You have a lot of parts to it. What do they do. Thanks for the video.

[@Nachos_with_a_slice_of_lime]

Wonderful video

[@teacheme]

Fascinating.

[@conorgraafpietermaritzburg3720]

Too Beautiful!😅

[@EUPThatsMe]

Is the lack of being water proof actually a feature? I would imagine these get left out in the rain from time to time. Better that the rain drain than collect and rot it.

[@aidanthomson6022]

i heard of some one renovating a coopers axe he took the bend out of it not knowing it was meant to be like that

[@wszebad68]

super

[@cjfazio3012]

👍🏻💕

[@anemone104]

Bevel side down! Yay!

[@iainoliver849]

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

[@richswain7154]

Chestnut grows abundantly in Sussex, Hampshire and parts of Dorset. Historically, it was coppiced but that is dying out. It can be bought via the Internet. Willow grows in abundance everywhere, and willow poles are harvested about every 10 or 12 years. I'm just about to drop a line of willows I pollarded 10 years ago.

[@howardchambers9679]

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

[@samditto]

17:03 a short glance at the camera man

[@JayInOz1]

Anyone have contact details for Bert? I had hoped to send him a PM but can't find that option. Thanks

[@jxk7712]

Unreal, we Europeans are very smart.

[@stevenbp101]

Stay close to Jesus
