SHAPING AND AGEING BONSAI TREES

I posted the other day about my buying my first bonsai, Japanese Pepper tree (Zanthoxylum Piperitum) .  As I am so ignorant about growing them, I've been doing a little research.  I came across this guy's YouTube clips (there are 52 of them by GrahamWPotter at present!) showing us how to make bonsai trees from things found in skips, from garden nurseries, growing as hedges, ugly plants that seem beyond redemption.  Check it out.  I assure you, it's fascinating stuff as he wields power drills at the trees to make them look ancient.  How do they survive it?
