Thank you, Sir!

Thanks for sharing

nice charcoal, mate! I have been working quite a lot on producing charcoal, so far the best method I have used is that of Jon Jandai here on youtube. It's a retort based design, so the wood is not burned but rather the tar and water is "sweated" out of the wood, from the sorrounding fire so the yield is higher than this and the lumps are larger. The downside, however, is that it's more involved to construct and maintain when in operation. The charcoal you made looks brilliant for blacksmithing so I should give this a go. Thanks for documenting the process. Cheers from Denmark

Fantastic video

Excellent comment

Wish more people knew about this process

Great Video. Very informative. Pleasant to watch. Thank you.

Make the stump a bit slanted on the final cut, helps the water run off and prevents pooling and rot

Welcome to England. Just listen to the sweet sound of the birds x

Nice

rip that chain. very cool though

I have a line if mature hazels along 2 sides of a 2 acre badly fenced field. I want to selectively coppice, taking out the largest branches I can from each tree. I do have rabbits and deer so want to avoid coppicing entire trees. I'll be using it fir firewood and I also want to ensure the longevity of the trees. I think they were planted a little too close given how neglected they are. Your video was very useful, thanks.

Brilliant and thorough video. I'm encouraged to deal with all the hazel that's overgrown along by a stream and I will be doing a positive as opposed to a destructive environmental thing. Thank you!

We've returned to this video again today as we're going to try this technique to make our own charcoal. We plan to film our attempt for our channel and we'll definitely give you a shout out for being the inspiration. This is a really informative video and we can't wait to give it a go ourselves - just need to find the drum, but they seem readily available for not much money on eBay. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. All the best, Matt and Finn

Ótimo torno! Trabalho muito bem feito. Saudações do Brasil!

Very well made video.

Can you tell me how much these trees grow each year? We're wondering if they are fast or slow growers?

Great video. Cheers mate.

Hi @Woodforgeuk. Thanks for this video. I'm interested in your billhook - can you tell me what make/pattern yours is? Also, where did you get your billhook holster? Thanks, Ian

Could we please have a up date on this. The end of last year I copied you/this. We had small re-growth by the end of this summer last years spring was better so I was wondering if you went back in the summer. Thanks for a great vid.

Thank you for documenting this! Will be rewatching this later. Much appreciated, Ni

How do you move the cuttings in the coop on into their final position? Are they potted on in spring or uprooted and planted direct?

Followed your guidance-worked perfectly! Best day in the woods. Thanks

If You don't block holes in crown board and let bees between it and the roof then what is the point of having it? It is there to stop bees propolising roof to hive. If you feel that they need extra ventilation use porter escapes or a piece of ply with mesh in it. Regards Rob

When you said you were putting a rope from the tractor I was expecting a Fordson Major or a Ford 4000, I laughed when I saw the ride-on mower. Good video, that was accurate and well presented with good information for beginners. Glad to see that you have the same respect for the trees you take down as I have and use every bit of the tree. Well done!

Excellent video fella, going to give that a go.

So easily explained thanks

Really enjoyed your video, got some good ideas so thank you. Your pole saw in your video who’s the manufacturer please

Great stuff, love the videos....

How beautiful, thank you....

Awesome x

I've just discovered your videos and subscribed. I'm really curious to see the coppiced hazel now.

Very helpful, thank you.

What happened to the coppice?

them alaskans sure know a thing or two about milling, cool carvings bro

I'll check out some of your other videos later but from the little I've seen you seem criminally under subscribed!!

Did you consider laying the hedge?

I wish I would have stumbled upon your video a year ago. Thanks for providing great info on "how to" & safety.

Don't forget to give the local woodturner a few interesting pieces.

You are very talented

Nice to watch

Just found your channel tonight. What a mine of good info, great stuff!...subscribed.

Fascinating

Pity there is no subtitling for gardeners who are hard of hearing

Really enjoyable video and some beautiful stuff on your Etsy page keep the vid,s coming

Hi, thanks for the video, your slow deliberate teaching style is good whilst not assuming viewer knowledge. I'm looking to get into woodland maintenance when I leave my current job, lots to learn.

I was amazed to learn yesterday that an Ash tree can live for about 200 years, but if coppiced, it can live for a 1000, and that there's a tree in England that's been coppiced and estimated to be around 3000 years old! Apparently it's because they're kept permanently in a youthful state of growth.Prior to learning this I always felt bad cutting trees back. Thanks for your instructions!

Short and sweet. I have cells that look just like that and I didn't know what they were.

Really interesting vid Olli . . . Out of curiosity what is the significance of the frame with the red and blue ends ?

What is the latest you'd coppice hazel? Late April?
