advice on clefting

[Tinker]

I couldn't agree more with those promoting a course of any length. I would have a look at http://www.coppice-products.co.uk/ for your nearest provider. Safe use and tool preparation before getting started is important just like you have trained in other areas of your life. Books are great, I have many trees worth but working with someone in the know will help you move forward.

 

I spent a small fortune on old tools before I found out what was what. Save your money by learning first before buying.

got the bug now... just finished making my second project, a free standing room divider fence for my son, took ages getting it super smooth, but am very pleased with the result and he and most importantly the wife appears to be too!

Thanks Jammy, it means a lot that a relative stranger should make such a comment!

I'm doing a stall at an Easter Fair this Sun and Mon at a local garden centre called Plants That Grow, this project and the gate will be coming with me along with all sorts of other paraphernalia including tasters for my beef and pork! really looking forward to it!

Not at all strange to me! thats some real clever cleaving and only your second project aswell .
