I absolutely love this! I've done a little bit of woodworking and find it, as you say, immensely satisfying. The crackling of the splitting log is such a nice sound. And for some reason the clips of the work being done is fascinating to watch. An artisan at work!!
I love hearing about working in the wood and the photos are stunning.
Thanks Bel, appreciate the feedback!
Love the videos and descriptions. Quite mesmerising. And what a beautiful end product. 👏
Fond memories of using some of those techniques with you from the sweet chestnut logs to build a fence at Little Barn.

Thanks Erik! The splitting log is a great sound isn't it? I never get bored of hearing and watching that process. Glad you enjoyed the clips too.
Great piece Andrew! Love the photos and videos. It’s such a visceral process and you describe it brilliantly. Great gate :-)
Thanks David! I think the gate will be very happy in its new home.
Thank you Hadge - it's hard to remember to take photos and videos whilst I'm working but I'm glad I did this time around!
