In this episode, I talk to green woodworker Sean Hellman about his craft and his deep knowledge of traditional hand tools. Sean shares how he uses and adapts tools such as spoon horses and pole lathes, why ergonomics and body-awareness are as important as technique, and how delicate creations like fan birds can be made from a single billet of wood.I also reflect on Day Four of my ride, cycling through Cornwall in relentless rain, meeting my brother for coffee in Looe, and finally arriving in Buckfastleigh drenched, tired, and grateful for Sean’s warm welcome. The plan was to push on and wild camp on Dartmoor — though the weather had other ideaslinksSee the visual journey on Instagram: @crafty_cyclistClick on this link to see more of ⁠⁠Sean’s work ⁠⁠ and his books Discover more about endangered crafts at ⁠⁠Heritage Crafts⁠⁠ and, if you’d like to support their work, you can donate via my ⁠⁠JustGiving⁠⁠ page
