I am new at Bonsai, so i love everything about it. :) I have simply made a root rake from a common fork(i removed 1 teeth, so its only 3 left) and then bended it, it works perfect. :)
Once again an amazing video man! It got style, swag and atmosphere, there's no hurry, the viewer can sink in and nerd out. In addition to that your knowledge is on point and the editing is clear, practical and beautiful. Please keep it up! Greetings from Austria!
Thanks so much for making this video! It’s really the best video on the subject I found here on youtube! Could you please do more beginner’s videos like this - maybe some on styling or wiring? Or some other key bonsai related things everyone should know? (Ramification, how to increase branch/trunk size etc.)
Im so excited whit your videos! Very good info. Also I was wondering if you're selling any of those tools cause in my country it's so difficult to found. I'd be looking for it many days and can't find no one, can ya help me with this?. Thanks
Hi Johan, will you make a video about tool maintenance and sharpening sometime? Maybe it's even worth a video series... Nice vids so far. I stumbled upon your channel a couple of days ago and watched all your stuff. Except the one about the history of bonsai - seems there is an issue that won't let the video load on my device. Anyway, I like your channel and your videos - and your style of explaining and showing things. Keep on talking bonsai for us and show us some Sweden 🇸🇪 :) Thank you very much, Kai from Germany 🇩🇪
Nice videos, but because you said it the second time now, the forceps was made primarily for surgery/medicine not as a fishing tool. Other than that, keep the good work up, enjoying your vids!
Thanks for the informative video! One can argue that some of these are not «essential», but that’s personal preference I guess. Totally agree though that bonsai shears/scissors and concave cutters are amongst the most important, and those you should spend money on getting good quality. You don’t use a toothbrush by the way? I find it very suitable for trunk cleaning 🙂
Nice video, although in my opinion you could be a little more strict in your advice of these tools. Most of them are handcrafted and/or japanese import, making them quite expensive. While I think quite a lot of these tool can be substituted by cheaper tools, like a regular saw or an unsharp bended fork usable for repotting.
Great video as always. Already knew most of it, but now I know what the fuck were those weird red clamps that I always saw for sale, but never could correlate to bonsai xD And the last section of alternative bonsai tools had a great selection. Will definitely explore into that
So what is the tool you said is mistaken for a dentist's tool actually called? I can't find one of my own if I don't know what to call it :/ otherwise terrific video. Thank you!
Great video, although I would've liked to have seen what else the chopstick is used for? He said it is the best repotting tool but then only showed us him prodding the top of the soil with the chopstick.
Yeah man.. Too clearify, i think what we meant is that, it's the best allround tool since you must have it when repotting, you can use it to rake out soil and it's something anyone, everywhere can get their hands on, a twig from the woods will do just as well!
you can make do without most of those tools if you're in a pinch (and don't grow a lot of bonsai). would have wished for a quick review of all tools at the beginning of the video before going the lengthy explanation of all the tools

Love how he shows how to use them as well. Most people just explain, I need visuals. Thanks my man!
Thats why we are one of the best bonsai youtubechannels - in the world... btw, welcome to BT Philip
- very good description of the range of tools to have in bonsaï -

You can also use a hoof pick instead of a root hook😁 it's cheap and you can buy them with brushes included. So 2 tools in one
A good tool video thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing
Awesome lecture
Thank you!
To free up roots around the side of a pot I use a wide flexible "frosting knife" designed for spreading frosting on a cake.
Good tip.. There is no limitations when it comes to the alternative tool selection, dedicated enthusiast will find solutions!
love your videos very much, nice work. ძალიან მაგარია!

You are very much welcome Kai, my friend. Not a bad idea, this might be something for the future!
Your intro and logo are awesome!
Thanks man!

What's up Joakim? Yeah we use alot of small brushes.. mostly brasswire ones tho. For junipers it's great to use softer ones, like toothbrushes.
I love you so much!
One love my friend, one love for nature
Sir, where is the botanical poster from? It looks really genuine and antique, not like the scrap which is sold online nowadays.

You get what you pay for my friend.. But good idea, that could be a video itself, a "Budget Bonsai Tools" video anyone?
He did point out the chopstick, can't get any cheaper than that?
Could you use a spherical cutter (knob cutter) instead of a concave cutter for removing branches? Would that be harmful?
Works the same - only difference is angles.
Great video as always. Already knew most of it, but now I know what the fuck were those weird red clamps that I always saw for sale, but never could correlate to bonsai xD And the last section of alternative bonsai tools had a great selection. Will definitely explore into that
Thanks..
Thanks for sharing use Johan ;)
My pleasure.. David
Miss your videos
So what is the tool you said is mistaken for a dentist's tool actually called? I can't find one of my own if I don't know what to call it :/ otherwise terrific video. Thank you!
where did you get that root rake with the wooden handle? :)
It was a gift from a viewer actually.
@@BonsaiTalk homemade?

Bonsai Talk Okay thank you. As a beginner looking to invest in some quality tools, what would you recommend as the three main “must have” tools?
The best part is that on off-seasons you can be an interrogator.
Haha, but then we must do the "good bonsai enthousiast" and the "bad bonsai enthousiast" thing...you must come and help me.
HI tell me how to get the b tools ,i am living Dubai
Did you get that tool set roll from Bonsaischule?
Ehhrmm.. I cant really remember? But i think you can get them from there aswell
Bonsai Talk thank you. It looks similar to the one they have, and that I am considering buying. The Amazon.de kits look a bit cheap.
Also good alternative tools are from aqua scaping👍
Yeah some of them are great..
you can make do without most of those tools if you're in a pinch (and don't grow a lot of bonsai).
would have wished for a quick review of all tools at the beginning of the video before going the lengthy explanation of all the tools
I will have to upload a video of a vibrating chopstick, made from a used lady parts tickler. Sure it seems gimiicky, but I bet someone would buy it?
ua-cam.com/video/13f7Qf1Bxao/v-deo.html This thing is great!
sir u teach m how to make bonsai as a your assistant...
Chopstick!!!!
ua-cam.com/video/13f7Qf1Bxao/v-deo.html Check out the vibrating bonsai chopstick!
