Thank you so much Maria :) I would love to explain it but I don't see myself making new videos in the future. If you go to my Trac Borders video, you will find an explanation there. It is one of the first things I demonstrate. It is very simple. As long as we're talking about reed of course. With willow it is more difficult.

I think you're right. It is too much chatter. If I'll ever make more videos, I'll make an effort to be more straightforward.

I work mostly with purpurea, but not because of any particular preference. It's just what I was able to acquire.

Thank you very much. Indeed there is not much willow here, but there is one type that grows on river beds. I see a lot of it when I go fishing. Some guy actually started growing this willow for himself. I myself use imported willow that I got from Spain. But I also work with a variety of other plants that I find here. They are not nearly as good as willow, but it's fun to gather your own material.

Many thanks :)

כיף לשמוע. ותודה רה :) בהחלט צמח שאפשר להתאהב בו. את החבושית אני חושב שאני מכיר, אם כי אני לא זוכר בוודאות. סיכוי גבוה שניסיתי אותה לפני הרבה שנים בתקופה שליקטתי המון וניסיתי מגוון רחב של צמחים.

Happy to hear that :) Thank you! Sometimes I thing my explanations are too slow though. And it's hard to edit out all the mistakes since there are so many of them 😅

Me encanta ese cesto y la combinación se colores. Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos. Un saludo desde España.👏❤

In th US and Canada not really. But in Europe maybe. Where are you from?

@@Basket_Case_1 San Francisco.

@@sparkyheberling6115 Unfortunately I don't know of any willow suppliers in the US. Did you try asking on facebook us based groups?

@@Basket_Case_1 I don’t use Facebook. But this area has a lot of arts & crafts, so I’m sure there are resources here.

@@sparkyheberling6115 I too am not on facebook

Thank you very much. Sorry there is no translation...

Hello to you, and greetings from Israel. Glad to learn my work is appreciated. In the video I'm demonstrating using reed, aka center cane, aka rattan. Indeed a great material for demonstrating/ practicing. What varieties do you grow? Are you working with them mostly as brown willow (dried but not pilled)?

@@Basket_Case_1 Hello, I like the idea of Rattan in the round because of the consistency and length. I have never tried it. Igrow some purpureas ,rubens and a korianagi.. I also have a few different wild willows here and grow hazel. I have tried it brown and white...also I have made tools to split and skein the rods..I have sold some rods but not baskets... it is my hobby.

Many thanks my friend.

Thank you :) Happy to read that.

Ellerinize sağlık ben Tukiyeden yazıyorum söğüt dallarını ilk aşamasında ne yapıyorsunuz önce kurutup sonra sepet yaparken islatiyormusunuz şimdiden teşekkürler

@@isminurarslan3060 This pilled willow, known as buff willow, I bought from a supplier. So it's already been dried. I soak it around 3-4 hours, depending on the length, and after soaking I leave wrapped-up inside a wet cloth for the night.

Thank you very much. This stage indeed requires some strength, but it's easier when working with shorter and thinner rods.

Thank yo very much :)

Thank you so much Marc. I don't know about master craftsman, but I did my best to deliver clear informative tutorials :)

Very informative videos ! Thank you 😊👍

Wow, I never thought anyone outside Israel would ever watch this. Happy to know you've found it useful :)

@@Basket_Case_1מישהו עוד בטורקיה 😅

@@Jazzgin Who knows 🙄

Thank you so much :) Glad to know my tutorials are of use to non English speakers as well.

Thank you Sue :) Yes, you're right. I had another channel which I've deleted. But recently I felt that it's a shame my videos aren't published. I put a lot of work making them.

@@Basket_Case_1 I can’t tell you how much I learned from these videos when I started basket making. I think it is about 3 years ago that I startet with rattan baskets and your videos. A year later I changed to willow. About 6 months ago I wanted to come back and see the „braided border video“ and it was gone. Sure, there are many other videos in UA-cam to teach this, and I managed to weave a braided border, but none of them is so detailed and so much information like yours. So I started searching for you in the internet, UA-cam, instagram,… On Sunday one of the videos popped up in my UA-cam feed! And I am so happy! I also learned a lot by looking at the pictures of your baskets on your website. They are gorgeous! Do you also have a new website? Best wishes, Sue

@@susannet7196 Happy to learn how much my work is appreciated. I've deleted my website, along with all of my social platforms. At the time, I just wanted to disappear...

@@Basket_Case_1 Sorry to hear that. Sometimes life is mean to us. I wish you all the best for your future, Sue

62 year old Canadian man here. I am happy that you are here doing this for us that have the interest.. weaving is very therapeutic! :)

Thank you :) The videos are actually pretty old. I haven't made a video in a while now. But still have a lot to upload. Perhaps I will make some new ones in the future. I have some cool ideas.

@@Basket_Case_1 thanks! ❤️

Thank you :) Sometimes I feel that my explanations are too slow and boring...

Well, I have bought my willow as it is. But I know they are harvested by machine, then boiled for some time, before going through a machine that takes off the bark. And then sorted into different lengths.

Thank you very much!

These are willow branches.

I get all of my willow (and other type of branches) thoroughly sorted. I actually have a video about it, along with other things one needs to know before beginning working with willow. It is an introduction to this beginners course. I will try to upload it soon.

תודה רינתוש :)

Hello my friend, I turned off the website. I am planning to upload all the lesson to UA-cam. I've uploaded some already. When I'll be in the right mood I'll upload many at once. Stay tuned...

Спасибо буду ждать

באיזור שלי יש אלת המסטיק בשפע, בכל מקום. בחורש, ביער, בשטחי בור, לצד הדרך, בגנים ציבוריים וכגדר חיה בתוך העיר. זה צמח מאוד מאוד נפוץ.
