For a part time Bodge artist he did a good presentation and helped make the point. The Aldi checked pattern shirt made from a polyester/cotton mix and Screwfix yellow plaster board saw was a bit of a clue that all is not to be believed – sorry ::( A Good video for 2019 but a tad' false, not convinced of his true craftsman credentials, the flat-cap was about the only traditional British element in the video. More please
japanese saw? cut on the pull stroke
He wasn't pretending to be a full time bodger. That would be like pretending to be a full time Bow Street Runner. Jeez!
There aren't many things it's good for planting is why. It compresses the soil in just the wrong way for most seedlings. Great for leeks though.
Dibber
I clicked this just to find out what a bodger is. Anyone else here for the same reason?
