Jpr environmental, had a quote of them a couple of years ago for willow spiling for delivery to Norfolk. Didn’t go ahead with it as we harvested our own.

I associate fascines with bundles to cross ditches, it comes from the same root as fascist, Mussolini termed it when he held up a twig and broke it then picked up a bindle and couldn't break it, a form of united we stand.

Faggot is also a ball of food with meat.

 

Faggots, pimps and bavins were all coppice products.

Both Faggots and Fascines are used for river bank erosion
Pimps are for fire lighting. I bought birch pimps from a garden show once. I have to say they were outstanding fire lighters. Way better than the fire lighter blocks.
A mix of super fine twigs to light easily bundled in with some nice kindling to get heat going. Excellent.

Gotta love the old terminology.

A dozen faggots and a few pimps please my good man ..

Ive made a few hazel faggots for firewood/kindling with a woodmans grips( just playing around.)

A faggot, in the meaning of "bundle", is an archaic English unit applied to bundles of certain items. Alternate spellings in Early Modern English include fagate, faget, fagett, faggott, fagot, fagatt, fagott, ffagott, and faggat.

 

Sometimes called a short faggot, a faggot of sticks equals a bundle of wood sticks or billets that is 3 feet (90 cm) in length and 2 feet (60 cm) in circumference.^[1] The measurement was standardised in ordinances by 1474.^[1] A small short faggot was also called a nicket.^[2] A brush-faggot (sometimes shortened to brush) was a bundle of similar size made of brushwood.^[3]

A long faggot of sticks equals a bundle larger than 3 feet (90 cm) long. In a book on slang used at Winchester College fire-dogs were fire basket (andirons) that could hold long faggots, and half-faggots were smaller andirons that could only hold short faggots and were later converted for use with coal.^[4]

A long faggot was also called a kidd faggot,^[5] kid, kide, or kidde being Middle English for firewood in bundles.^[6]

A fascine (or bavin^[3]) is a type of long faggot which is approximately 13 to 20 feet (4 to 6 m) long and 8 to 9 inches (20 to 23 cm) in diameter and used to maintain earthworks such as trenches.^[7][8][9]

A faggot was also a unit of weight used to measure iron or steel rods or bars totaling 120 pounds (54 kg).^[1]

Seems to be a lot of variation on the use.
On the woodlands tv channel a local guy in Petworth makes the pimps for fire lighters in the same device as yours and it’s called a pimp machine there.

Faggots he is making are in long bundles for river banks.

Maybe the variation is regional ?

The temporary structure / shelter they use is known as a Bender
