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..
Just fantastic I must say
Obelisk
It's a plant support. You grow your peas/beans/climbing plants up it and move them around your garden for a few years. They're also beautiful as a scupture...
I want & need for my (future) cottage garden. I need Willow
Oh boy, I remember learning how to "braid" with "mimbre" back in high school.⌛️⌛️ I can say it required a lot of dedication, calculation and firm hands. We used to wet the branches so they were not as difficult to handle, and the teacher would rip off the entire thing if one of the crossings was not perfectly-looking.😭😭 The technique and materials are somewhat different but now as a grown up, you inspired me to try again with local materials and build 4 for my veggie patch. Thank you very much for your detailed explanation, your art is beautiful! Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷💫✌🏼
Magnifique!! Merci pour cette belle vidéo
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.
I keep thinking spider house
Wow very beautiful 👌👌
Super urađeno. Lepo, korisno, praktično za organske vrtove i cvetnjake.
Thanks for a great little video today and really I learned a lot about waving from you hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy until the next video
OMG. I love the boat ❤
How interesting, and so very British. Beautiful!
WOW VERY VERY NICE...LOVE THEM !
Absolutely brilliant
Beautiful!!!
what a great video for both pleasure and a tutorial, thanks
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.
Wow, I love them
Perfect! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you. Very helpful
Hello from Washington State USA! Love this video. Thanks for sharing.
I stumbled upon this video and I am inspired. Thank you for this tutorial. They are beautiful structures.
Amazing!
That was magnificent ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you very much
Excellent instructions. Thanks for sharing your craft.
Great thanks!!!! Beautiful work👏👏👏👏
Merci pour ce super tuto !
Thanks Dave❤️😊
I love them. So pretty and wonderful.
Thanks for a great video. I recently attended a "make a willow obelisk" session which was great....but i love your design more. Youre fab at demonstrating and teaching, thanks
Really interesting, thanks.
This video was simply fascinating to watch. You are a great teacher with easy to understand instructions. I would love to try and make one.
Dave should definitely do more videos, absolutely brilliant instruction here!
@@multicolouredhuman , I agree. I hope he reads this!
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!

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
Wonderful demonstration! Thank you very much! ~~Sharon
LOVE this. Beautiful craftsmanship and description. Thank you!
You are a movie star!!! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent! God bless.....Bruno from Samoa...
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video! From North Alabama, USA

Really lovely to watch your skills. Thank you.
Hello from Slovakia ✋🇸🇰
Amazing skilfull hands. And very purely work. This stickwork in Slovakia is traditions too -basketry is beautiful ✋
That's so neat!
Great video. Thank you so much!
Beautiful work congrats. Thanks for sharing. God bless 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!!👏🏼👏🏼
Love seeing the stacks of prepared sticks; turns me on craft wise, jazzed beyond. my crafty senses are tingling thanks…. for such good ideas generously giving it to us 👏🏻💋
This is rrally a wondeul way to make a natural way to support crops in a garden. Thank you for sharing.
Just wonderful work
That is amazing! I just wish I oud see what you're doing closer-up! I have a food garden and making these could really come in handy for beans, peas, and indeterminate tomatoes!!
Absolutely fantastic
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
Very nice Video, well executed and explained!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!
Cool video! Thanks! Will try this in my garden some day!
Very nice 👌 love your idea.
Gorgeous work!
Excellent video, I will put it on Teams for the students to have ago using this method.
Great tutorial 👍 loved watching 😊
Those are amazing! Going to find myself an old tire now! I have got to try this!!!!
Best info post of the day..Thank You from Alabama in the U.S
And what a nice boat!
Thanks for sharing.. I raise willows for weaving.. I want to learn this one to add to my hobbies... "Love it"
A really great instructional video! Thank you very much. I loved learning this
I love it 🥰 thank you for teaching us. Will try to soak some willow sticks in my tub 😊
Thank you, such a thing of beauty.
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
YOU ARE AWESOME!
Thank you your clear instruction. Great to see the wonderful craftmanship
They are beautiful and you are truly an artist. ❤️
Wonderful to see this craft. I love your calm way of teaching.
beautiful artwork, thanks for sharing the techniques. Now to try and attempt to do this with the vines in my yard 💚
I was looking for a method of making a straight stick obelisk that looked a little unique. This didn't show me that, but I'll never ignore the location of a willow tree again. What a great way to make a bunch of unique garden goodies. Thanks for taking the time to record it.
Such a feeling of timelessness watching you weave. Beautiful.
wow, beautiful.
Love the guitar in the background
What an excellent tutorial! Inspires me to make some!
Impressive!!!
👏👏👏
Thank you!! 😊😊😊👍👏👏
Beautiful. Would love nothing more than sitting and weaving all day. Cant wait to try one for my garden.
THank you for sharing your skill and knowledge... what a wonderful tribute to your craftsmanship! Keep up the great work.... wish I were closer... I’d be a loyal customer! From Virginia, USA
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. 😊💖🙏
You are an excellent teacher..
That was amazing, thank you so much for sharing.
Хоть английского не знаю, но все поняла.Очень хорошая идея для сада.
This is amazing. A lot more complex than I was wanting to make for my garden. These are beautiful. Thank you for sharing
I learned some great tips. If I should ever find myself by a river, with access to Willow branches, I will give it a shot ♥
3:40 That's the sound of a bee on the mic! I've recorded bee hives so I know the sound. Always makes me smile 🐝
no willow where i live but there are lots of grapevines and dogwood. i am going to give it go. thanks dave!
Sweet gums might work too for the uprights...need to walk in the woods and see what I can find
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
This tutorial was delightful....I was smiling the whole time you were teaching us. I thankyou for your generosity of spirit for this lost art....I don't care how many times I have to watch this, I will certainly be attempting to make these for my gardens. Blessings to you*
Excellent craftmanship! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video!
Bello 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So beautiful. Thank You for Sharing.
Great video, Very well explained.
Great Video. Thank You
I will try with bamboo as it’s cheap here!
Don’t have willow.
I can use a few of these but as mentioned earlier, looks easy but probably not!
Beautiful end product!
Wish I lived close to you, I’d come by and purchase a few!
Just absolutely Facinating !! I really enjoyed this.
That was awesome. Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge!
