- How the South Down modern trug is made. The Cuckmere Trug Company also make the famous Royal Sussex Traditional Trug from sweet chestnut and cricket bat willow, as well as many other types of trug. woodlands.co.uk
Glad you like our films but sorry you were disappointed with this one. Robin did describe the traditional trugs, but we didn't have pictures to support it. The film was long so we decided to concentrate on the construction process which was more visual. They only demonstrated making othe modern trugs that day . To balance things we put a description of the traditional trugs made of chestnut and willow in the notes.
Anyway thanks for your comment -and thanks for watching
Nice Shorts Robin!
Just gorgeous.
Just gorgeous, I would have many uses for them!
Parabéns !...
Trugs are still made using Chestnut for the frames and handles. The boards are made from willow
The use of plywood seems rather a shame when the natural materials are available
I'm a bit surprised at Woodlands TV for making this video as most of their videos show real traditional crafts using natural materials not ply
HB your comments are noted but I would just like to say that, without the plywood trugs there would be no traditional trugs made these days. In 1989 the Thomas Smith Trug Shop was going to close down and I, with some friends, bought it and combined the two types of trug into one company. The people who work in the other two commercial trug making companies were both trained in my workshop after the merger. The plywood trugs were originally made because the inventor could not obtain enough traditional trugs to sell to his own customers. The Heritage Crafts Association now also recognises the plywood trugs as being traditional as they have been made for three generations unbroken.
£36!
why call it traditional when it is nothing of the sort. You might be able to pull the wool over most peoples eyes but this is unnecessarily beautified with all sorts of girlie bling, it reminds me of the German and Dutch word 'betrug'........to cheat!
very popular among homosexuals.
