How to Make Trugs

Slow connection? Watch in lower quality
Dominic Parrette deftly demonstrates how to make trugs using sweet chestnut and white willow. There are only a handful of professional trug makers working in the UK - Dominic and fellow expert Pete Marden use traditional trug making techniques here at the Hermonceux Truggery in East Sussex.

I love to watch craftsmen work
it would be nice to have that in the title "wooden basket"
I would love to learn how to do this.
All I saw was the man talking. Would have been nice to actually see the work he was doing. Maybe next time.
Its clearly a basket case!
whats the tool being used to shave the wood with two handles called?
I haven't seen a hand-rolled tobacco tin.
HA!
We've learned what a trug is!
Very nice to see handcrafted items. To me they are better quality than machine made items. And I just like the fact that a person took the time to create something nice. Thanks for sharing your works and skills.
