You want to see abuse of a good quality kitchen cleaver, check out Peter Chan's work!

That was quite interesting ... I usually try not to make negative comments; preferring silence if I am not a fan of something... but this video was quite funny :imo: . I initially watched this video on my phone and I thought: "Well there's something - Peter's made one rubbish tree into two rubbish trees and wrecked a cleaver too! I nice afternoon's work..." but on the bigger screen, that first tree looked quite interesting in the end; I suppose they both did and he had fun too. I guess that's the point - we may as well have a bit of fun and experiment before we dump something completely - perhaps the odd diamond can be uncovered.

Terry as an ex chef no doubt you'd approve of the cleaver going from the garden back to the kitchen to rip into a bit of duck for dinner. :lol:
Tending bonsai teaches me patience.

Sometimes pictures can be of help. In this instance, I would've just said...

I love Peter's videos, he has such a casual, relaxed attitude and almost comes across as careless with some of the work he does - until you see the end result.

Having said that this is definitely one of his more "interesting" videos!

Edit: having thought about it a bit, I have a very boring straight plum as a result of my first air layer - maybe I should grab my cleaver and try for a literati!
