Hurdles can be used for penning sheep, as windbreaks etc. Andrew King makes a hurdle and shows the stages involved.
Alan Waters guides us through the process of making Pimps, Faggots and Benders.
In Part 1 of this series, expert chainsaw handler David Rossney shows the tools and safety equipment needed to fell a tree.
In Part 2 David Rossney assesses the woodland, which trees to fell and why. He explains how he will cut the tree to make it fall where he wants it.
In part 3 David Rossney makes chainsaw cuts to a tree so it falls where he wants. He also deals with a common problem, a “hung up” tree, where the surrounding trees stop it falling as planned.
In the final part of the tree felling series David Rossney trims the limbs from the main trunk. Using the forester’s measuring tape and chainsaw he then cuts the trunk into 2 metre lengths.

- “John’s Products” we apologise to John this is not the best photo in the world, but you can see John also makes Noughts & Crosses boards, and ‘loaded’ dice which appeal to John’s sense of humour
