I'm fortunate to love my work, restoring and rebuilding 1938 wooden framed and bodied railway carriages. coppicing willow, birch, has been done for centuries, you are carrying on an ancient work, nice to see.
Brilliant one Ash. Far better living off the natural resources than paying for power. Nice bit of coppice work. Surprised you haven't picked up a 2nd hand chipper and put it to use. Take Care Buddy 🙏
Hi Ash, Mare, hope you're both well and not misbehavin' too much. Coppicing's a great idea and a great skill to have, not to mention the harvest. I have neighbours who pollard (no pun intended) their willow trees, and local crafts people make use of the harvest. As for your home made mashete, you could start a new industry/channel and you could add blacksmithing to your skills set. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍✌ PS.
