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

Great video. What diameter did use for the base ?

Are there instructions available to make the turntable jig?

That's so neat. I'd love to attempt making one but unfortunately there are no willow branches available near me. I guess I can check online. Thanks for the tutorial.

beautiful artwork, thanks for sharing the techniques. Now to try and attempt to do this with the vines in my yard 💚

Beautiful rendition. I was watching the original Wicker Man film only the other day !!

You are an excellent teacher..

Super urađeno. Lepo, korisno, praktično za organske vrtove i cvetnjake.

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 🐝

Lovely ❤

Que bonito trabajo ❤

So beautiful. Thank You for Sharing.

Nice deep male voice accompanying the female singer. All together very relaxing and earthy. Thank you👏🌷

That was actually wonderful. I'm going to have a bash. I wonder if you can use any willow. We have lots already growing around the wetter parts of the farm.

This is amazing. A lot more complex than I was wanting to make for my garden. These are beautiful. Thank you for sharing

Dave, any tips on what to use as a spacer between the two disks of wood on your jig ? I'm thinking of making a couple of jigs for some obelisk weaving workshops

Sarah you have a strong voice a lovely voice. Maybe it's the acoustics but the instrument you play seems to be too loud and muffles your voice. I hope that's a help. I like the words of your song very timely for me❤

Absolutely brilliant

Lovely music for listening, or light house hold jobs, thank you sooo much. x

Thank you both for this wonderful music 🎶

Beautifully calming for the soul, thank you both. x

Beautiful! What would be the equivalent to this willow in the northeast USA?

Do you ever use Hazel as uprights

Such a good video. You are a super teacher Dave. Any chance we could have more detail on the making of a similar jig to your one.

3:40 fly in my ear!

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

❤

My friend, combine your skills with arborsculptural approaches... thank me later ;-)

Very curious about two things: what kind of alternative material would be good for this? Either for recycling purposes or to use a more local material than willow (it's type is ubiquitous but not all species work for this kinda thing)? Thank you so much for your incredibly helpful tutorial. I can't wait to try it myself!

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

Hi how many uprights did you use and what lengths please .Great video

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.

Just wonderful work

Очаровательное пение наперегонки с птицами

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!

A really great instructional video! Thank you very much. I loved learning this

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

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

Великолепная работа. Спасибо за урок. Я тоже попробую это сделать.

I use hazel, freshly set in the ground, a few have rooted. Have you every had that happen?

Remarkable. As someone who tries to do things in the most natural way in my gardens, I would love to make these obelisks and your excellent instruction gives me the confidence to try. One challenge: the rotating base you use to construct them. I am in no way a builder and do not have power tools. Do you have a link or website you could share that sells them? Or if you do build them, would you be willing to sell them? I would absolutely love to buy one. Thank you.

Or is it a boat

It is that a train car in the background

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

What an excellent tutorial! Inspires me to make some!

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 ❤❤❤

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

Impressive!!! 👏👏👏

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

Thank you!
