The amount of knowledge this guy has is phenomenal, of course there’s always more to learn. It seems to me that he’s far more comfortable by himself in his woods, than teaching his art to others, however I’m very glad he’s willing to leave his comfort zone and do this, so many more of us can learn from him. These skills are so important to keep alive, I think we may need them before too long.
Appreciate the amount of time this must have taken you Zed. I learned spooncarving and bowlturning almost entirely from watching your vids and trial and error, now embarking on making split baskets. Massive thank you my man, you are an absolute legend.
Hi Jeff that is seriously awesome to hear, indeed this video took a solid two days to film with storms affecting filming on the second day hence we were indoors. Wishing you the best of luck with the basket and do let me know how you get on! Take care ~Peace~
I have yesterday received a starter kit for wood carving. Two knives and of the scoop-knives, plus safety gloves (I have also added a First Aid Kit lol) and will give spoon carving a shot. I have decided to start with the very straight and standard ones and may add a spatula, as the handle on my plastic one is damaged anyway. My starter kit came with 10 small oblong blocks (4x1 inch each) and they seem far too small for me as a beginner to safely carve them, without risking a major injury to one or more of my fingers and being also a keen knitter and crocheter, I need them. This channel here really makes me want trying out and learning these old skills, even thought I really do not like the discomfort of bush-life. I leave the basher-building and hunting to my hubby who was a serving soldier for over 21 years :-)
A sustainable container, brilliant. Saving an art form that is dying, brilliant. A four hour, extremely detailed tutorial, brilliant. Thank you Mr. Goldwater. Thank you Zed.
The hope with this video was to save this knowledge for others to learn from in the future and that it inspires others in the here and now. A sincere thank you for the kind words and for watching my man ~Peace~
I love the way Mr Lewis Goldwater is working with, rather than against it, which would probably be my approach ending up in a disastrous result. So much to learn on this channel.
Thank you Lewis and Zed. I'm doing an apprenticeship as a coppice worker and was making hazel baskets while i watched this! What a fantastic resourses for people such as myself.
Well Done! I've now watched a lot of your videos and I must say Zed, you are an incredible host. You ask very excellent questions and guide the conversation so we do not miss a detail. Often times I appreciate how you stop someone and ask them to show a detail that they as makers might take for granted, but we as beginners need to see. Thank you for sharing this information so it is not lost. I love learning new things, so keep them coming.
Sincerely appreciate you rkind words and for watching. Granted these long format videos are not for everybody, but like you already alluded to, my goal is to capture the process in it's entirety so that no detail is left out. Happy crafting my friend and many thanks once again ~Peace~
Saw this amazing tutorial yesterday, woke up today buzzing. I have learned so much, can’t even begin to tell you, like I can’t begin to tell you how inspired I am giving it a go. I always loved baskets but never really took the tie to study, let alone, make them. Where I live now, in the middle of Rural France baskets are still very much in use, on Monday you can see them everywhere on peoples ares when they stroll around the market, young men, old women. We even have a basket museum and a basket festival each year. This brilliantly put together tutorial has opened a new door for me... hazel (thought to be a door between worlds anyway) Hazel I have loads of those and most probably grown slow, Baskets, just never saw me sourcing the material for willow or oak and the shape, always are drawn to that shape (just never knew it to be hazel. ) Still some waiting to do till November, but tat just means I can watch it again and ponder. Thanks again you two, I am ever so grateful. Be well, Joey.
I've heard from many people that France has a rich history with baskets so you are definitely living in the right place for it. A sincere thank you as always for your kind words Joey and I sincerely wish you the best of luck with trying this yourself when it is time for harvesting ~Peace~
Videos like these make me sleep the fastest. Not because it is boring. Voices of gentlemen like the one here make it sound like a documentary and just draws me away from all negativities. Something like a retreat if you will. But this time, I woke up to this after a series of auto play. Gold
Thank you kindly Liam, indeed these long form style of videos are not for everyone but the goal with this video was to capture this skill in it's entirety so that it inspires others to have a go ~Peace~
My Stone stallion as always you are very kind, filming this was tough going as it was over two days but Lewis was a trooper and powered through ...imagine how many oat cakes this bad boy can hold ;) ~Peace~
zed and Lewis thank you for another brilliant video. wonderful description of the stages of creating the basket. what a valuable resource and very generous of Lewis to share his expertise with us. cheers craft friend.
Amen to that Michael, it was Lewis's and mines intention to preserve this skill so that others may benefit for years to come. Appreciate the kind words and best of luck at having a go yourself my man ~Peace~
OMG My Wife and I just watched the whole thing, and are very happy you could "share it all". Being shut in with Covid sometime has its extreme advantages. Thank You!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you! This has been a great adventure and a journey of discovery! Lewis, you are incredibly patient and such a good teacher! The both of you should be National Treasures! Jeb, for your recordings which I find very “in depth” and detailed. I am coming back from a stroke and I’d rather learn I new skill than anything else. Thank you both so very much!
Thank you for this fabulous video. I want to weave a basket but didn’t realise the hazel in my garden would be so perfect for this. Waiting til the nuts are ready to eat then will cut the lengths like you show here.
Wow! What a skill to use for everyday use containers. Nice video. I took a Native American weaving class many years ago, but nothing that big. Thanks 🎸🔪
You both did an excellent job, You are both patient and detail oriented and Zed, you’re just making some awesome videos. I watched your videos a couple years ago stopped and then started again and I’m just totally impressed. quality quality quality!! Thank you
HOLY SHIT!! An almost 4 hour video?!?!?! Well, it did give me the chance to sharpen a few saws, couple dozen knives, an ax or three, Hell I even sharpened my lawnmower blades! LOL. Good video, Zed!! Keep them coming!
My family made white oak baskets for well over 150 years, and my parents picked up the art when I was 12. I made baskets all through school and college. It is an art that is being lost as too many try to make things with machines instead of by hand. The only machines we used were chainsaws to cut and rip logs in half, a table saw with an 18" blade to make dimensional boards depending on what was being made, a table saw for cutting handles, and a jointer to give clearance for weave to reside. Everything from that point was drawn off using drawing knives to make weave, ribs, bands, and tie. We sold baskets from $8 to $350 depending on the level of work and materials in it.
Hi Brian a real delight to hear about the rich heritage of baskets in your family, your point about these skills becoming obsolete hit a nerve as thats the exact inspiration for this video. The old folk that done this all their lives are sadly passing away so Lewis was eager to preserve the entire process on video so that there is a record of it forever and that it inspires others. Oak baskets is something i'm hoping to try this year, not sure if you've heard of him but worth checking out a gentleman called Owen Jones who lives in the county of Cumbria in the north of England, who is Englands most famous Oak Swill basket maker ~Peace~
Really enjoyed this. We have lots of hazel here, but they have not been tended to for many years. My husbands granddad and great grandad used to make bands for the barrel industry in large numbers. He himself has made some chairs from hazel when he still could find thinner rods so he could bend them. My father used to have a low, very coarse woven basket. I think it is still around, so I plan to have a closer look at it to see what materials have been used. This is in western Norway
Oh wow that's amazing to hear, I actually hope to film a video on barrell making at some point. Reg the Hazel, indeed yes, as with all wood if it is not managed then it get very twisted and gnarley ~Peace~
Wow Zed, Lewis is a superstar, the detailed description of how, why and what he doing is perfect. I've only watched up until the bit when you had to go inside, I'll most certainly be watch the rest in the coming days. Missing your company and the base camp mate, alas cervical spine issues are still holding me back.
My Harlow stallion i've missed you! definitely ping me a text soon so we can catch up properly. Reg Lewis the man is super humble and very talented, filming this was pretty intense as it was over two full days but he powered through like a trooper ~Peace~
Thanks for the channel Zed, and thank you Lewis for sharing the craft. Randomly found this video after a week or two cleaning up brush in the yard that I now know is Hazel. Going to see how the cut hazel bushes might coppice and will be using for garden fencing, trellis, and possibly will try a rough basket or two.
Sick in bed with COVID. Yep, I watched the WHOLE thing. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing this knowledge and craft! I hope to spend some time on this the coming winter.
Mr Lewis...thank you for sharing your time , workspace , energy with us .... sadly ..this is a dying art in my Northern Canadian Native (ojibwe/odawa) community. Only 2 native elders out of a population of 50,000 have the skills to make *pine needle baskets, porcupine quill baskets, sweetgrass baskets, Ash splint baskets, long grass baskets, pack baskets, willow baskets and cedar bark baskets* ... _it truly is a lost art._ I will use your wonderful basket making teachings, (taking notes 📖️✍🏼 😎 👍 ) and will relight the flame of this art, in our community. Thank you again, sir. Mr Lewis and Z...your very Articulate with your speaking...very enjoyable to listen to...😂 🤣Zed ,the spot of Humor is brilliant (14:41) . @Zed Outdoors...does Mr Goldwater, have a lesson on SKILLSHARE website ? Or any other online lesson website that others can learn from and have interaction with ??
My friend I cannot thank you for your kind words, indeed yes across the board it is very sad to see so many traditional skills being lost hence the inspiration for this video. Reg skillshare Lewis only teaches in person as this type of craft is very hands on ~Peace~
FANTASTIC , LEWIS YOU ARE A SUPER STAR FOR SHOWING THIS AND IT WAS EXCELENTLY DEMONSTRATED , AND ZED WHAT A CRACKING JOB OF FILMING , THANK YOU SO MUCH BOTH , I AM IN THE THROWS OF MAKING MY FIRST ONE AND HAVE LEARNT SO MUCH ABOUT HAZEL THANKS TO YOU GUYS . ALL THE BEST . (and yes i am shouting , this is well worth shouting about .)
So chuffed to hear this video is helping in your process for making a basket yourself, huge thanks goes to Lewis for allowing me to document his process so that others may learn ~Peace~
Great video Zed . This is why I like your videos you provide so much variety . Some outdoor style youtuber videos while being great often do the same processing wood ,have a fire have food and a beer . Your always an interesting watch . Thanks Zed
Hey bro, I think it is really important that you are building this archive for us and the whole world of all these sustainable natural building videos, so I say thank you and your friends who allow you to film them! I just wanted to say that personally I hardly watch anymore due to it being almost only 100% on this subject, I (we / some of us) would like to see you gettting out there into the woods doing what you were in the beginning - you can of course do this in-between these longer how-to vids, dont stop doing them but head out solo into the woods once in a while, buy another MRE if you need a reason to head out and have a munch!! ;) Just some constructive feedback mate Cheers
I totally hear what you're saying and ironically i'm doing exactly that moving forward, have lots of stuff planned at the basecamp as well as some wildcamps so will be mixing that in with these tutorial style of videos. Sincerely appreciate the feedback my man ~Peace~
its all about keeping alive the old crafts, this has inspired me to make a split hazel basket. can you make me a split oak basket? just kidding. its great that youve made a video of this almost dead craft to ensure its continuation
You can make split oak baskets btw, when the opportunity presents itself i'll be filming a tutorial on that :) Sincerely appreciate you watching and for the kind words Sid thank you ~Peace~
I'm watching your vid and it's great! I would like to give you a tip that I use so that you need NO nails. Watch a vid on serving bow strings and you'll see a server that you can make that works on those rims. You just serve the splice and it will hold better than the nails and you won't only lose that splitting issue but you will have a much stronger binding out of thread. Regular sewing thread. You can then melt a bit of wax on that for preservation or just carry chapstick and rub it on. I actually used chapstick on my bowstring! It helps to waterproof it.
This is a fantastic tutorial, and a lovely way to document a rare heritage craft. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. I'm looking to learn frame basketry and your tutorial came up, now I want to try making one with hazel, though I think I need to learn to walk before I can run... perhaps I'll try assembling a basket with another material first before trying my hand with hazel as the splitting looks very skilled and time consuming. Well worth it though. Thanks again for filming and teaching!
Epic video ! Thank you so much Lewis and Zed. I had to watch it in stages, but that was great because I had more viewing to look forward to and I'm really glad we got to see the whole process . Now I'm even more excited for my Bodger's Ball course with Lewis in a couple of weeks !! Yayyy. Just deciding if I want bark on or bark off now ........ so looking forward to it , I'm gonna love it.
You're gonna love your time with Lewis, he's such an incredibly humble and gentle guy with oodles of knowledge. Many thanks for watching and your kind words Lisa! ~Peace~
Thank you very much for this very instructive and quite inspiring video! Fortunately, my neighbour had a lot of hazels cut just yesterday, and doesn't know what to do with them. Now I will give it a try, and make some baskets for my cats... ;-)
Thank you kindly Vojta, hazel baskets are very common across Eastern Europe too as i'm sure you're well aware. A friend of mine is flying out to Romania soon to visit some makers there so i'm excited to see what knowledge he comes back with ~Peace~
Even through the Central Europe, really 😃 I find it funny how many people place my country, along with Slovakia (with which we were a part of one republic at the past) and Poland, to the Eastern Eastern Europe. It's just labels anyway, but for some people here it's rather important. My believe is it comes from the east being associated with the occupation of the late Soviet Union. But this is no place for a geo-political history rant 😊 No one can change the past, unless he's Doctor Strange or Who 😃😃😃 Hope your friend have a great trip (Romanian wine, om-nom-nom) and the weekend is treating you well, my friend 😊 Hope there is a comfy camp chair coming to your camp in the near future 😁 🐏💀🏕️
Wow! This is your longest video to date! It took you two days to film and me three days to watch, worth every minute. Big thanks for making such a detailed tutorial, I will definitely be giving this a go. The splitting of the weavers blew my mind! Big thanks to Lewis too for so kindly sharing his skills.
Indeed yes it was so difficult to make this any shorter without sacrificing the details involved in this process. Sincerel appreciate your kind words Phil thank you ~Peace~
Drinking game take a shot when the knife is removed. from the sheath. Take a shot when the knife is returned to the sheath. Amazing video. Many thanks to you both.
No thanks 5 doubles and I'm in la la land. A big thank you to Lewis for giving an excellent tutorial. Knowledgeable and skilled. A big thank you Zed for the excellent filming and editing.
Awesome video Zed! I watched every single minute of it! Definitely inspired to give this ago, I’m sure it’s not an easy skill to master but it does look beginner friendly! All the best!
Indeed it is very beginner friendly, like you said there are some intricacies involved but there's no reason why you can't give it a go. Best of luck and appreciate the kind words Rhys thank you ~Peace~

I found this video as split hazel basket making was listed on the HCA Red List of Endangered Crafts, and I found the list on Wikipedia under Alex Langlands, who I found from the documentary Tales from the Green Valley
Indeed this craft is sadly being pracised less and less, hence Lewis was eager to encapsulate as much as he could on video so as to continue on the craft ~Peace~
so inspired , I,m having a go at making one , such a great video and teacher , love the in depth techniques , my only question would be if you attempted this in the field , so to speak , would you use bindings on the handle eg nettle cordage etc . all the best .
Thank you for watching and for your kind words. Regarding the best wood for where you live, as I am not from there may I suggest you ask in this group on Facebook as there are lots of people from your part of the US on there - facebook.com/groups/158317624288399/?ref=group_browse
You can grow hazel in New Enland; buy hardy hybrid hazels. Try Grimo Nut Nursery or Z's Nutty Ridge. Or find Black Ash, which is traditional and grows wild in New England.
Inded yes Hazel is extremely resilient in growing back, so long as it is cut properly as Lewis showed and that you spread out the area in which you harvest, so as not to deplete one section ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors ah so upwards of £200 if it takes the craftsman 16hrs at minimum wage. Well unless they sell per product rather than materials + wages. Thanks for the info!
02.20 But why not start in the middle weaving to both sides, instead of working from both sides towards the middle... ? IMHO it is easier to hide a potential gap / asymmetry that way instead of hiding a gap right in the bottom of the basket.
Beautiful, I am trying to do that but my rod's are always braking and they don't peel like that and i follow the tutorial over and over again what am i doing wrong 🥺
:0o: @ least it is not a expensive past time,like bushcraft or carving,or even Bee keeping & the man lo0ks like he is having a ball! I could see myself giving up carving for a while & taking this up. Thumbs up for me. Thank you both kindly. c(_) CheeHeerZ! c(_),
Congratulations to both of you on a truly amazing video. What knife is Lewis using? Zed I to know a Gail who is full of wind. She gets worse after some pickled eggs ,and a few pints of lager.hehe.
Haha! I think I know the same Gail too ;) The knife Lewis is using is a cheap Mora, the ones that cost about £5 and they have a few to choose from. A sincere thanks for watching Mike and for your kind words ~Peace~
@@joebacon3730 you leave survival silly alone. She's an excellent survivalist. Take a look at her stealth camp,the astronauts on the space station have even spotted it!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Zedoutdoors I to would like to add my congratulations to you both. Having stumbled across your channel I notice you go to people who know what they are doing to make videos. If they are like this video I will enjoy watching them. Thanks again new sub.
great video but careful with your vide mic. its a straight mic so when you look away from the guy talking, the sound drops out and you can't hear what he says.

Isn't he just, and so humble too ~Peace~
You both did an excellent job, You are both patient and detail oriented and Zed, you’re just making some awesome videos. I watched your videos a couple years ago stopped and then started again and I’m just totally impressed. quality quality quality!! Thank you
HOLY SHIT!! An almost 4 hour video?!?!?! Well, it did give me the chance to sharpen a few saws, couple dozen knives, an ax or three, Hell I even sharpened my lawnmower blades! LOL. Good video, Zed!! Keep them coming!
Multi tasking ...you show em boss ;) A sincere thanks as always my man ~Peace~
haha, good one man
sharpening saws? well then damn you definitely had some time on your hands! HAHA ;)
Enjoyed your tutorial. Thanks for your time. Cheers. Jim
Appreciate your kind words and for watching Jim ~Peace~
Zeb and Lewis, this is a wonderful tutorial and what a great way of using hazel . As someone who has loads of it growing I sure will have a go
Thank you kindly Joey, indeed Hazel is so common in Western Europe yet very few practise this craft. Hoping this video changes that ~Peace~
My family made white oak baskets for well over 150 years, and my parents picked up the art when I was 12. I made baskets all through school and college. It is an art that is being lost as too many try to make things with machines instead of by hand. The only machines we used were chainsaws to cut and rip logs in half, a table saw with an 18" blade to make dimensional boards depending on what was being made, a table saw for cutting handles, and a jointer to give clearance for weave to reside. Everything from that point was drawn off using drawing knives to make weave, ribs, bands, and tie. We sold baskets from $8 to $350 depending on the level of work and materials in it.
Hi Brian a real delight to hear about the rich heritage of baskets in your family, your point about these skills becoming obsolete hit a nerve as thats the exact inspiration for this video. The old folk that done this all their lives are sadly passing away so Lewis was eager to preserve the entire process on video so that there is a record of it forever and that it inspires others. Oak baskets is something i'm hoping to try this year, not sure if you've heard of him but worth checking out a gentleman called Owen Jones who lives in the county of Cumbria in the north of England, who is Englands most famous Oak Swill basket maker ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors zed I am from Southwest Missouri and so I am not familiar with him, but I look forward to seeing it!
Really enjoyed this. We have lots of hazel here, but they have not been tended to for many years. My husbands granddad and great grandad used to make bands for the barrel industry in large numbers. He himself has made some chairs from hazel when he still could find thinner rods so he could bend them.
My father used to have a low, very coarse woven basket. I think it is still around, so I plan to have a closer look at it to see what materials have been used. This is in western Norway
Oh wow that's amazing to hear, I actually hope to film a video on barrell making at some point. Reg the Hazel, indeed yes, as with all wood if it is not managed then it get very twisted and gnarley ~Peace~
It looks so beautiful
Most definitely! ~Peace~
Wow Zed, Lewis is a superstar, the detailed description of how, why and what he doing is perfect. I've only watched up until the bit when you had to go inside, I'll most certainly be watch the rest in the coming days. Missing your company and the base camp mate, alas cervical spine issues are still holding me back.
My Harlow stallion i've missed you! definitely ping me a text soon so we can catch up properly. Reg Lewis the man is super humble and very talented, filming this was pretty intense as it was over two full days but he powered through like a trooper ~Peace~
Thanks for the channel Zed, and thank you Lewis for sharing the craft. Randomly found this video after a week or two cleaning up brush in the yard that I now know is Hazel. Going to see how the cut hazel bushes might coppice and will be using for garden fencing, trellis, and possibly will try a rough basket or two.
Indeed yes give it a go Elkhart as this is a great use for Hazel ~Peace~
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this information. I feel equipped to do this now.
Thats awesome to hear and sincerely wishing you the best in trying this out for yourself ~Peace~
that is a Brilliant Vid. Long, but actually worth it.
Indeed this is quite a detailed process and we didn't want to leave anything out, many thanks for watching and for your kind words ~Peace~
Sick in bed with COVID. Yep, I watched the WHOLE thing. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing this knowledge and craft! I hope to spend some time on this the coming winter.
Appreciate the kind words ansd sending lots of healing vibes your way ~Peace~
Really interesting💚🇬🇧🌱I have a great use for this too! Many thanks for the video...
Appreciate the kind words Marc and say blessed ~Peace~
Thank you for making this available for us!
Thank you kindly Marten! ~Peace~
Very beautiful baskets
Aren't they just, Lewis is a very talented maker ~Peace~
Mr Lewis...thank you for sharing your time , workspace , energy with us .... sadly ..this is a dying art in my Northern Canadian Native (ojibwe/odawa) community.
Only 2 native elders out of a population of 50,000 have the skills to make *pine needle baskets, porcupine quill baskets, sweetgrass baskets, Ash splint baskets, long grass baskets, pack baskets, willow baskets and cedar bark baskets* ... _it truly is a lost art._
I will use your wonderful basket making teachings, (taking notes 📖️✍🏼
😎 👍 ) and will relight the flame of this art, in our community. Thank you again, sir.
Mr Lewis and Z...your very Articulate with your speaking...very enjoyable to listen to...😂 🤣Zed ,the spot of Humor is brilliant (14:41) .
@Zed Outdoors...does Mr Goldwater, have a lesson on SKILLSHARE website ? Or any other online lesson website that others can learn from and have interaction with ??
My friend I cannot thank you for your kind words, indeed yes across the board it is very sad to see so many traditional skills being lost hence the inspiration for this video. Reg skillshare Lewis only teaches in person as this type of craft is very hands on ~Peace~
Wow! What a great tutorial. Thankyou so much for your informative video. 💁🏼♀️👍😊
You are very kind Arielle thank you ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors you're most welcome and thankyou too.
FANTASTIC , LEWIS YOU ARE A SUPER STAR FOR SHOWING THIS AND IT WAS EXCELENTLY DEMONSTRATED , AND ZED WHAT A CRACKING JOB OF FILMING , THANK YOU SO MUCH BOTH , I AM IN THE THROWS OF MAKING MY FIRST ONE AND HAVE LEARNT SO MUCH ABOUT HAZEL THANKS TO YOU GUYS . ALL THE BEST . (and yes i am shouting , this is well worth shouting about .)
So chuffed to hear this video is helping in your process for making a basket yourself, huge thanks goes to Lewis for allowing me to document his process so that others may learn ~Peace~
Great video Zed . This is why I like your videos you provide so much variety . Some outdoor style youtuber videos while being great often do the same processing wood ,have a fire have food and a beer . Your always an interesting watch . Thanks Zed
You are very kind thank you, yes I like to focus on learning skills too which have usefulness when outdoors camping as well ~Peace~
Hey bro, I think it is really important that you are building this archive for us and the whole world of all these sustainable natural building videos, so I say thank you and your friends who allow you to film them! I just wanted to say that personally I hardly watch anymore due to it being almost only 100% on this subject, I (we / some of us) would like to see you gettting out there into the woods doing what you were in the beginning - you can of course do this in-between these longer how-to vids, dont stop doing them but head out solo into the woods once in a while, buy another MRE if you need a reason to head out and have a munch!! ;)
Just some constructive feedback mate
Cheers
I totally hear what you're saying and ironically i'm doing exactly that moving forward, have lots of stuff planned at the basecamp as well as some wildcamps so will be mixing that in with these tutorial style of videos. Sincerely appreciate the feedback my man ~Peace~
nice man, looking forward to it@@Zedoutdoors
its all about keeping alive the old crafts, this has inspired me to make a split hazel basket. can you make me a split oak basket? just kidding. its great that youve made a video of this almost dead craft to ensure its continuation
You can make split oak baskets btw, when the opportunity presents itself i'll be filming a tutorial on that :) Sincerely appreciate you watching and for the kind words Sid thank you ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors it is a pleasure zed, thats amazing, i never thought it would be possible
I'm watching your vid and it's great!
I would like to give you a tip that I use so that you need NO nails.
Watch a vid on serving bow strings and you'll see a server that you can make that works on those rims. You just serve the splice and it will hold better than the nails and you won't only lose that splitting issue but you will have a much stronger binding out of thread. Regular sewing thread. You can then melt a bit of wax on that for preservation or just carry chapstick and rub it on. I actually used chapstick on my bowstring! It helps to waterproof it.
Thats a wonderful tip Kelly and I appreciate you sharing that thank you! ~Peace~
This is a fantastic tutorial, and a lovely way to document a rare heritage craft. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. I'm looking to learn frame basketry and your tutorial came up, now I want to try making one with hazel, though I think I need to learn to walk before I can run... perhaps I'll try assembling a basket with another material first before trying my hand with hazel as the splitting looks very skilled and time consuming. Well worth it though. Thanks again for filming and teaching!
Chuffed to hear you enjoyed this video and that Lewis's teaching has inspired you in some way. Many thanks for watching and take care ~Peace~
Epic video ! Thank you so much Lewis and Zed. I had to watch it in stages, but that was great because I had more viewing to look forward to and I'm really glad we got to see the whole process . Now I'm even more excited for my Bodger's Ball course with Lewis in a couple of weeks !! Yayyy. Just deciding if I want bark on or bark off now ........ so looking forward to it , I'm gonna love it.
You're gonna love your time with Lewis, he's such an incredibly humble and gentle guy with oodles of knowledge. Many thanks for watching and your kind words Lisa! ~Peace~
Thank you very much for this very instructive and quite inspiring video! Fortunately, my neighbour had a lot of hazels cut just yesterday, and doesn't know what to do with them. Now I will give it a try, and make some baskets for my cats... ;-)
Thats awesome to hear and best of luck Sabine :) ~Peace~
Brilliant video, well put together, thanks for sharing.i think this could be my winter project!
Indeed this is a great project to get your teeth into over the winter. Many thanks for watching and for the kind words Andy ~Peace~
You're very welcome, keep up the good work.
❤ great, great content Zed.
You are very kind Simon, thank you ~Peace~
Thankyou so much for your informative video. 💁🏼♀️👍😊👍😊💁🏼♀️👍
Thank you kindly my friend ~Peace~
Ah, this was a long one, but really interesting! I always wondered how the weavers were made whenever I saw a hazel basket :)
Thank you both ;)
Thank you kindly Vojta, hazel baskets are very common across Eastern Europe too as i'm sure you're well aware. A friend of mine is flying out to Romania soon to visit some makers there so i'm excited to see what knowledge he comes back with ~Peace~
Even through the Central Europe, really 😃 I find it funny how many people place my country, along with Slovakia (with which we were a part of one republic at the past) and Poland, to the Eastern Eastern Europe. It's just labels anyway, but for some people here it's rather important. My believe is it comes from the east being associated with the occupation of the late Soviet Union. But this is no place for a geo-political history rant 😊 No one can change the past, unless he's Doctor Strange or Who 😃😃😃
Hope your friend have a great trip (Romanian wine, om-nom-nom) and the weekend is treating you well, my friend 😊 Hope there is a comfy camp chair coming to your camp in the near future 😁 🐏💀🏕️
Wow! This is your longest video to date! It took you two days to film and me three days to watch, worth every minute. Big thanks for making such a detailed tutorial, I will definitely be giving this a go. The splitting of the weavers blew my mind! Big thanks to Lewis too for so kindly sharing his skills.
Indeed yes it was so difficult to make this any shorter without sacrificing the details involved in this process. Sincerel appreciate your kind words Phil thank you ~Peace~
Hi! Very good prezentation! Thanks!!!
Dziękuję Ci Pawel ~Peace~
Many many thanks for a great video👍👏👏👏
Sincerely appreciate you watching and for your kind words ~Peace~
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing
Thank you kindly my friend ~Peace~
Simply wonderful :) Much appreciated 👍
You are very kind thank you ~Peace~

Amazing video. Many thanks to you both.
No thanks 5 doubles and I'm in la la land.
A big thank you to Lewis for giving an excellent tutorial. Knowledgeable and skilled.
A big thank you Zed for the excellent filming and editing.
Pretty sure that drinking game will get messy very quickly ;) ~Peace~
Thanks, very helpful tutorial/exposition.
Thank you kindly ~Peace~
Cool tutorial.
Thank you kindly Tony ~Peace~
Eggcellent! Thanks.
Thank you so much Johnny ~Peace~
very high quality documentary man. keep it up!
Thank you kindly! ~Peace~
Awesome video Zed! I watched every single minute of it! Definitely inspired to give this ago, I’m sure it’s not an easy skill to master but it does look beginner friendly! All the best!
Indeed it is very beginner friendly, like you said there are some intricacies involved but there's no reason why you can't give it a go. Best of luck and appreciate the kind words Rhys thank you ~Peace~
Thankyou for sharing:)
Love from India ❤

I know it's pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Kannon Shane lately I have been using flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Carmelo Bridger Definitely, I have been watching on flixzone for years myself :)
@Carmelo Bridger thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !
Awesome
Thank you ~Peace~
Thanks Z hope 2 finally finish it this evening
Thank you kindly Matt, indeed a long tutorial as it condensed two days worth of filming into one video ~Peace~
6:00 and 2:46:35 This looks EXACTLY like the baskets I used to carry around at my grandparents farm to carry beans or food for the chicken or corn or other stuff 😁 you nailed the look!
Thats wonderful to hear! ~Peace~
Holy Christ! Four hours. I saved to your playlist and will watch when I can 👍
No rush lol, this was two days of intense training condensed into one video ~Peace~
I found this video as split hazel basket making was listed on the HCA Red List of Endangered Crafts, and I found the list on Wikipedia under Alex Langlands, who I found from the documentary Tales from the Green Valley
Indeed this craft is sadly being pracised less and less, hence Lewis was eager to encapsulate as much as he could on video so as to continue on the craft ~Peace~
Love such detailed videos, thank you!
Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching thank you ~Peace~
Nice video ! 🙂👍
Thank you kindly my friend ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors je vous souhaite tout autre chose que la paix 👍
Je vous souhaite la santé
Very nice...you should have tie string on the Denim to tie around your leg so to keep it from moving around.
Indeed yes thats a great idea ~Peace~
nice guide
Thank you kindly ~Peace~
Great job
Thank you kindly ~Peace~
Great video 👍
Thank you kindly Maurice! ~Peace~
Looks fantastic. Now you just need to put Moses in it. 🙂
Thats in the next video! :) ~Peace~
so inspired , I,m having a go at making one , such a great video and teacher , love the in depth techniques , my only question would be if you attempted this in the field , so to speak , would you use bindings on the handle eg nettle cordage etc . all the best .
Appreciate the kind words Phil, reg cordage you would use whatever is aavailable so nettle cordage could potentially work ~Peace~
2.25.00 maybe the shallower wiskets, were used as baskets and winnowing baskets?
Potentially so yes, like many baskets around the world, they were built to perform certain tasks using materials locally sourced ~Peace~
very cool - but we have no hazel here in this part of the US (New England)...what would the closest tree/shrub be instead?
Thank you for watching and for your kind words. Regarding the best wood for where you live, as I am not from there may I suggest you ask in this group on Facebook as there are lots of people from your part of the US on there - facebook.com/groups/158317624288399/?ref=group_browse
He said baskets are traditionally willow in other places, but that they had hazel on their farms and used it.
You can grow hazel in New Enland; buy hardy hybrid hazels. Try Grimo Nut Nursery or Z's Nutty Ridge. Or find Black Ash, which is traditional and grows wild in New England.
Oh i forgot,i love his version of the KellyKettle lol!
lol yes that things a beast! ~Peace~
Was it mentioned what seasons are best for harvesting? We have Oregon Filbert everywhere, I wonder if winter sticks would work
Indeed yes Lewis discusses the best time to harvest early on in the video ~Peace~
❤❤❤❤
Thank you ~Peace~
Do the trees recover well after having a branch or two snipped?
Inded yes Hazel is extremely resilient in growing back, so long as it is cut properly as Lewis showed and that you spread out the area in which you harvest, so as not to deplete one section ~Peace~
How many man hours does it take to make one basket, and what do they sell for?
All depends on the size of basket, gathering and processing materialsd will take roughly one day, then rouhgly anoth day to make the basket ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors ah so upwards of £200 if it takes the craftsman 16hrs at minimum wage. Well unless they sell per product rather than materials + wages. Thanks for the info!
02.20 But why not start in the middle weaving to both sides,
instead of working from both sides towards the middle... ?
IMHO it is easier to hide a potential gap / asymmetry that way
instead of hiding a gap right in the bottom of the basket.
Thanks for the suggestion ~Peace~
So if you have back problems what do you suggest.
No easy solution apart from adjusting your posture and table/workbench you work from ~Peace~
I'm curious to know if the weavers could be dampened slightly when they're drying out too quickly.
They can be yes, but there is a sweet spot so they are wet enough but not too wet ~Peace~
Do you make a Riflemen tomahawk???
Alas no ~Peace~
Can you use other species for this? European hazel doesn’t do well in the US.
Hi Roger i'm not too familiar with US species so couldn't tell you, the only thing that comes close is using Black Ash for Ash basketry ~Peace~
Какое дерево Вы используете для изготовления ленты?
Hazel ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors спасибо!
Beautiful, I am trying to do that but my rod's are always braking and they don't peel like that and i follow the tutorial over and over again what am i doing wrong 🥺
Hi Maja, my guess is that the Hazel you are using is too dry, also potentially you are harvesting them at the wrong time of year ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors I'm harvesting them currently, when is the Best time to harvest them?
Oof, I had Brilley Green Dingle once. Took a good course of penicillin to clear it up.
Thats great to hear Andrew and be sure to stay on the antibiotics until the rash clears up ~Peace~
:0o: @ least it is not a expensive past time,like bushcraft or carving,or even Bee keeping & the man lo0ks like he is having a ball! I could see myself giving up carving for a while & taking this up. Thumbs up for me. Thank you both kindly. c(_) CheeHeerZ! c(_),
A sincere thank you as always ~Peace~
Congratulations to both of you on a truly amazing video.
What knife is Lewis using?
Zed I to know a Gail who is full of wind. She gets worse after some pickled eggs ,and a few pints of lager.hehe.
Haha! I think I know the same Gail too ;) The knife Lewis is using is a cheap Mora, the ones that cost about £5 and they have a few to choose from. A sincere thanks for watching Mike and for your kind words ~Peace~
I know a my name is liiiillllly who is full of wind.
I'm up to speed now with Gail. My god she blew hard.
@@joebacon3730 you leave survival silly alone. She's an excellent survivalist. Take a look at her stealth camp,the astronauts on the space station have even spotted it!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Zedoutdoors I to would like to add my congratulations to you both.
Having stumbled across your channel I notice you go to people who know what they are doing to make videos. If they are like this video I will enjoy watching them. Thanks again new sub.
great video but careful with your vide mic. its a straight mic so when you look away from the guy talking, the sound drops out and you can't hear what he says.
Indeed but it was an extremely blustery day so had no option but to use the shotgun mic with wind muffler on it ~Peace~
