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!

Francois Gau: pin sylvestre 1er partie, part 2, part 3, part 4, Part 5 New 12-14-2017 Note: Notice how the branch is wired in this video, the wire is not wrapped around the branch like you normally would. The artist is also using a branch bender which is good to see how to use one.
