DUDE! You an an animal! Can focus on answering questions in-depthly and intelligently while performing complicated tasks ... at the same time! Like 2 different people working congruently. Absolute legend instructor! Thanks for what you do.

Hi Ryan,thank you very much for showing this important and fundamental technique for bending a trunk in great detail....you are a great professional and artist of bonsai,very compliments!👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for letting us know that the last tree died. It’s never what we want but it makes me feel better knowing it happens with pros

Sorry to hear of the burn down. Nobody deserves that. Crisis management is 95% planning and learning from others lessons. Evacuation and demob. plans etc... Having everyone know their roles and even drills. If you have a valuable inventory, worth doing. If you invest in stuff you are prepared to lose, then no need for crisis management activities beyond fire drills, first aid training and lessons learned. Worth doing a workshop on "what is the worst that could happen" and defining the risk from Mirai's standpoint. Implementing engineering controls to mitigate the risk or engineer these events out completely saves industry ~billions of dollars per year in damages. Great that these videos are shared for non-members from time to time. Testament to Mirai's ethos of sharing key moments to the world. Maybe this is a core value of Mirai(?). Awesome!

Working now! Excited to see this one as I have some thicker trunk trees I want to bent.

He he he...seeing the host...full of energy.....hi hi hi...

Very very good all round teacher Ryan !

Very well presented by all. Well shot, high production and value this stuff! Massive information density. Constant descriptions and direction for angles from Ryan working on the apex really is high value stuff. Apexes are notoriously difficult to create (and shoot). The compaction and complexity is always a challenge 👌🏻😎Nice😎👌

Always a pleasure to see this all go down! Awesome!

Nice pine bonsai thank you for sharing Mr good luck

Grot is a tiny orc from a sci-fi universe, garrote is a verb describing strangulation.

I have also performed that technique on various cedars (Himalayan and Atlas) with great success. Great video

And thank you for your vids! Inn this case I love the adjustment to correct and perfect as is real world stuff. Awesome job!!

Great work 👍

Just... Awesome.

I have watched this video a number of times and hear new things every time 🙌🏼 Now that was very helpful about the long candle / tips on a pine I have a nursery stock mugo pine that has this long candle that I now know to lay flat pine I just seam to struggle with on how to wire them properly especially from raw material and what branches to use and how many I can keep at one junction two or three.

Mr. Ryan what time of year are you working on this Japanese white pine? What time of year is the best for such works on pines? Great video! Thanks for the huge effort and selfless showing advanced tree bending techniques. Very much mean such shots for people who learn to shape Bonsai.

Buenas manos maestro, un saludo de una siesta en el nebari

Cool

Where can i see the video of the Pine that failed that is constantly being referred to?

ive never seen that jack before what a great tool -- when you need it

great video. very informative and very well explained. you are a great teacher. i like your videos. nice greetings from Germany

Such a high value video! Did you lost the first branch after or you just decided to cut it (seeing the final montage of how the tree turned out after the repot)

Wonderful work and thanks for sharing this video! I have a Lacebark Pine of almost that trunk size and would like to do a trunk bend on it. I'm in the San Francisco Bay area. What are my windows of opportunity to do the operation? The tree did not have any work done on it in the past years and is well established in a 3 ft dia nursery container. It pushed very healthy growth this spring and I feel like it's in great health.

good video👍👍👍

The Poem "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere", it's "The British are coming...", though I wasn't there either, and I imagine "red coats" would be the popular vernacular. Of course, I'm sure this has been quoted in prior comments. heh

Ryan coming in hot this Tuesday!

nice video mate..

Can we see this tree now that it's been about a year?

i was hoping he was going to do the thin multi wedge cut bend to give it more movement

Très intéressant, merci pour la vidéo!

Does sap flow ever heal and return where the cut is made? If not would using wood glue help in keeping the cut together and sealed to keep any bugs or anything from getting in the fresh cut?

This is what I aspire to. Wowser

Wait....that tree’s not a graft???!!!

Wow~ Amazing Bonsai ^^ Include Like 576 , I leave 3 Presents. Have a good relationship. My friend, always stay Connected.

Vielen Dank!

Why do Seppos call a clamp a "jack"? A jack is a completely different tool used for lifting/separating not clamping.

Awesome video as always. Is this a Japanese white pine or a different type of pine? Needles seem a little longer than JWP I’ve seen.

Great video,can you do a follow up video when it’s time to style this tree?

great work

With consideration of scarring, would full grafting be viable?

Amazing job to get a good tree from an unattractive base. Thanks.

So a wedge cut will never heal? It won't graft back together?

Just saw a video where a guy drilled holes and then bent a branch... would love to hear Ryan's thoughts on that method...

Would it be beneficial to, using a small bit, to drill the joint of the 2 closing halves together to allow a better, easier close?

when is the best period to wire pines? is it the same period for big trunk bends

Just like felling timber.

👌👍🙂

Is this a Japanese white or Black pine?

I was thinking how dangerous that looks if it slips and u fall on that stake

👍👌🙂

Can you wedge cut a ficus to get movement in a inch wide trunk?

👍👍👍❤

How about Mugo? General Mugo thoughts welcome

What is the title of the previous ("Live"?) video that you referred to several times (at 51:30) in this video?

Does the heartwood ever heal?

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👊🏾👊🏾

Wait, this video is old? You said you can't repot next year, but you can repot in 2022. This is 2022... And the video was released yesterday Lol

As soon as he started clapping he was off.

You need a complete tools to make a Bonsai of this style

La vidéo est certainement très instructive mais comme il n'y a pas de traduction en français, donc la vidéo n'est pas intéressante, merci de mettre la traduction en français.

Steady - there are Brits watching.

Non funzionano i sottotitoli con traduzione automatica 😅

Whats wrong with this person? Turned the sound off. Fixed it!

Horrible, talks to much about other nonsense..
