Thank you and bless those husbands of creation. Good luck and blessings to the new generation, we need it.

Good documentary, thanks for uploading.

What year is this?

The question everyone wants to know is, have any of these guys ever cut open a wolf's stomach and pulled out a grandmother? Seriously though, hats off to these gents living the dream. If I had more than 1/4 acre... Well, TBH I've always wanted a hazel for its nuts, and you've just given me a proper excuse to get one.

the old ones dont want to pass on the skills .

Used to have coppices all around Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, charcoal kilns working morning noon and night , healthy managed woodland and all the useful by products for thatchers , fencers , tent makers etc . Then plastic turned up and poisoned the land properly .

So far it still survives!

I'm so glad it was spared from development...

Thanks so much for uploading this to CZcams

When the England was not nutsgreatt watch!

Found this about 2 years ago, inspired me to become a Coppice merchant, I’ve now worked some of the woods Bill worked, and even the one in this video; black beck woods in Bouth!

Such an important video. People don't realise how much we'll lose if woodlands aren't managed. I don't know if I'm wrong to get upset about it but I see soo many woodlands being totally taken over by laurels. Am I wrong to detest it. The area seems dark and a tangle of low intertwining branches and no birds or insects. Is it mainly to make a barricade?

Excellent management for small acerage

What a special man and a lost art.

"So what other things can you do with hazel apart from hurdles?" 🤣

We make brooms like that in the Philippines, just made of coconut and palm instead. We call those walis-tingting.

Thank you! I could watch this stuff all day! Is there more of this program? Where can I find it?

Fascinating

this is a very interesting video

Thanks for this upload

If you know what you are doing, respect nature and are willing to live in harmony with trees, there is some much you can do in a forest.

man the credits song is a real jam

I remember seeing this on channel 4 I think. R I P. BILL .

Put the language in the title idiot.

You are very welcome. Ian

Excellent and very interesting. Thank you very much 👏👏👏👏👏

I remember watching this when this was first shown. How wonderful to be able to watch it again. I'm one happy chap

You should consider also posting this on Odysee or some other utoob alternative. Many people (me included) prefer not to watch utoob.

And an all-round nice guy too. Ian

What a wonderful look into the skills and land of older times

All around Graves Park but especially above Cobnar Ravine - close by the golf course. My garden is near Oakes Park Ian

Where abouts at Norton, near graves park?

Beautiful birds. I have one as a pet x

Very, very interesting! Such variety of things that can be done with the wood of even small sizes, and a source to be had without killing the trees. Pleasant, soft-spoken narrator also. Only trouble with this video is that it's not nearly long enough! Thank you for posting!

What a gem

Weren't they just! Ian

I am pleased so many people like it. He was one of the great champions of woodland crafts.......
