I don’t know why I’ve just spent the last 25 minutes watching someone weaving an oblique, do I need one no... do I want one no... it’s his technique on how to make an oblique. He made it look so easy, I was totally zoned out listening to his calming voice that I’m coming around to think I should make one too. Thank you for sharing.

Decades before internet i attempted to make one..what a mess...now i know some od the reasons it was such a mess...i also tried to make a small fence aroundnthe garden bed....using what plants were around...another mess...we have no willow nor willow type wood so u can imagine the mess...its to hard for my hands now that im sooo old...but its really good to see someone actually do it. About the third one i attempted it held together...lol..

Its most important that this & other ancient skills are passed on, to others without the knowledge who are still keen to learn. Whilst watching this craftsman weave, it made me think of lobster pots. Thanks for video upload which was interesting to watch.

Agreed, I would keep watching him make anything to be quite honest!!! He's very patient, obviously loves his craft, and a great teacher!! I think I might try a very modest version with my willo branches! I actually always thought they were such pests around my pond, you cut them away and the next year they're 6 feet tall again...now I see where I was wrong!!! I'm actually lucky and have an abundance to practice with, as I will no doubt break quite a few! Lol!!! Great video, very inspiring!!! Thank you!

Wow! Dave, your skill & pride in being a master weaver is very obvious & much appreciated. What a beautiful tribute to all the previous generations, who relied on these baskets & who passed on these skills & craft. This was very enjoyable to watch. Anything that just uses nature’s gifts & a craftsmen’s skill & knowledge is beautiful to watch!!👏🏼👏🏼

I stumbled upon this video and I am inspired. Thank you for this tutorial. They are beautiful structures.

oh I love sticks. Those are some dandy ones. You said you buy them graded. Where do you buy them? It would be equally fun to gather them. I make small stick furniture for little people I also make. It is just fun to go shopping by the river. The Thames is a lovely river. Your boat looks really fun. The willow chair in the back is really fine. Very large basket for very large people lol a chair? a hanging chair? wow, you sure have one lucky wife. Wish my partner would get keen on sticks. He loves the little chairs, maybe one day he will make a stick thing. fun fun fun thank you for sharing and yes, I will make some small ones for the little people

So thats how its Done! 🤔🙂👍🦸‍♀️ I've been itching to make my own bean tower since the ready made ones are over $175-$225 at my local garden shop made in Asia... I believe even if I purchased the canes at a weavers supply shop I could still save a few dollars and have a lovely afternoon of it. I don't have a stream on my city lot for soaking reeds and canes but making a water tight cylinder of a 3-4 inch PVC drain pipe purchased at the DIY/hardware store with an end cap glued on to one end is a simple hack. Fill with canes and water, cap the open end with an UN- glued end cap and stand UPRIGHT in the corner of the garage for a week to soak. (Stand in any place where it wont tip over and leak since the top cap isn't to be glued down watertight, only the bottom cap!) Simple reusable mess free soaking cylinder.

I have so many saplings and I have pole bean seeds the reason I'm here, to put this all together for next year's garden

Beautiful. Would love nothing more than sitting and weaving all day. Cant wait to try one for my garden.

Really good but only criticism is a close up shot of the hands working the reeds would be very helpful. 👍

Beautiful!

That was awesome

Absolutely brilliant

Awesome video! Thank you!

Reading the comments I see i was far from the only person mesmerized by this video. It was wonderful. Your voice is soothing, your instruction clear and easy to understand. I don't know how I came upon your video while taking a break after scrubbing the bathroom floor but I watched the whole relaxing creation. I will now have to find willow. Thank you

Brilliant.

Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher.

OMG. I love the boat ❤

I live in Florida and don't have willow, but I have bamboo and I suspect it would weave about the same. I'm trying to put in a vegetable garden and I think I'm going to give this a try, it looks so much nicer than a modern trellis.

Such a lovely skill/ gift.

Thank you. Very helpful

Love this

This is rrally a wondeul way to make a natural way to support crops in a garden. Thank you for sharing.

That was magnificent ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you very much

Great video

Absolutely fantastic

Beautiful ! You are so talented and teach quite well! Thank you!

Wow, I love them

LOVE this. Beautiful craftsmanship and description. Thank you!

Thank you for this video and the weaving lesson! I know this is a long time after your initial posting, but I really appreciate the information shared here. I wish I knew how to do this many years ago when I had a beautiful white willow come down from the strong winds of a hurricane. I spend a week or so dismantling her and putting her limbs on the front side of my sidewalk. She was so pretty and I was sad she fell. Some ladies came by and asked for some of her limbs to put into dream catchers and some other things, but I don't recall what it was. My big golden retriever loved chewing the bark as it was like a pain reliever for him. I'll be using your ideas to weave tall obelisks for some wild muscadine vines. Thank you again for sharing. 😊💖🙏

Nice job !

That's so neat!

Super clear explanation and very clear visuals, thank you

Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing ❣

Harika bir iş... Çok teşekkürler...

Beautiful work. You are a great artist .

Really lovely to watch your skills. Thank you.

Brilliant! Love it! Thankyou for sharing this marvellous skill!

Just absolutely Facinating !! I really enjoyed this.

This video is just what I was looking for. Thank you for the inspiration and the clear instruction.

I love them. So pretty and wonderful.

I’m so impressed by your work here. It’s beautiful, functional, and you’ve reused something that most people would just toss away. Make more of these videos, I can’t stop watching! 💕

?????????? These aren't reused byproduct... He bought these willow whips that were grown out and meticulously sorted for exactly this purpose, they would definitely not have been thrown away... 100% new purchased premium materials. Still super cool! Still sustainable, still important! But yeah I'm honestly kind of confused why you think that's what's going on because he mentions purchasing them repeatedly through the whole video

Uhhhh this is INCREDIBLE wow thank you for sharing, My garden is going to be incredible now

Thanks!

Masterful

What an excellent tutorial! Inspires me to make some!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video! From North Alabama, USA

Nice demo. Thanks. The gathering of your materials must take a lot of time and care. I don't have willow here . . . wonder if I could use cattails? Cheers

Wonderful demonstration! Thank you very much! ~~Sharon

You explained the whole process so well. Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing this tradition with all of us!! It was fascinating to watch!! Blessings!!

enjoyed this! such a lovely result...great explanation....inspiring

Wonderful to see this craft. I love your calm way of teaching.

Qué bonito! Muchas gracias!😃

And what a nice boat!

They are beautiful and you are truly an artist. ❤️

I totally agree with a previous post - that we need to preserve or hand down these techniques. I live in US, and as soon as I saw this video, I looked for something similar (so I didn’t have to do it myself), and was very disappointed that I couldn’t find something similar. Very cheap single strand spiral, some even plastic replicas, but none with the detail seen here. Will definitely be searching further, because these are beautiful ❤❤❤
