David Hembrow, Basketmaker. Making a large bicycle basket.

More baskets: http://hembrow.eu

I work as a basketmaker and send all kinds of unique baskets to my customers all over the world. For more details see my web site: http://www.hembrow.eu

In this video I make a basket for a modern delivery bike that I use to take my baskets to the post office. Wherever the customer lives, this is how their basket starts its journey to them.

I hope the video's not too long. I edited down from the nearly 3 hours it took to make this basket to get it under youtube's 10 minute limit.

This is so helpful! I was trying to figure out how to start out an english basket- and now I understand! :D

Terrific, I just checked out your website, I'm going to obsess about this for many days I'm sure. For now I'm still commuting with a backpack like a sucker.

I'll bet this requires a good bit of muscle, especially the finishing. That speaks to the strength of these baskets!

Nice basket. Do you find that working with wet or dry willow is better? And have you ever made a basket that could carry water. I have heard of ppl making water tight baskets.

That was very good and especially interesting was the finishing of the rim, it seems a lot simpler than the way I do :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
