I have added quite a few Educational Videos to the library. They are all really great to watch and learn from. There is one video I added that had some really great ideas on how to bend a really large straight pine branch upwards and give it movement at the same time.

El Tim at Generation Bonsai (Demo 2) by Bonsai Empire This is a great video on how to use a very large galvanized pipe and rebar at the same time to move a very large branch upwards with a spiral movement to it. Notice how the artist anchors the pipe. Also notice the use of burlap in conjunction with raphia. They also placed a short piece of heavy copper wire on top of a branch to be used later to pull the branch up. A great idea!
