Re: Cheap and cheerful
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 . 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.melbrackstone wrote: ↑April 28th, 2020, 6:42 pm You want to see abuse of a good quality kitchen cleaver, check out Peter Chan's work

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.
Tending bonsai teaches me patience.

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

Re: Cheap and cheerful
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.melbrackstone wrote: ↑April 28th, 2020, 6:42 pm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2auGIHY ... UI3-Y7nNvY
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!
