I like Paul Sellers for many reasons not least of which are the absence of irritating music, no amateur dramatics and no silly voices - Refreshingly just practical, concise information. Thanks Paul.

Also, he doesn’t try to sell us anything and doesn’t display an assortment of 500 chisels, 350 planes, 30 woodpecker squares, the best table saw with a festool arsenal of machines and some silly look on his face in every thumbnail. If there was a picture of an OG woodworker in the dictionary it would be Mr. Sellers, been following him for years now.

It takes several decades (or if you have the money) to acquire a shop with that amount of equipment. Don’t be fooled by shops full of tools, 3/4 of the tools in everyone’s shop haven’t been touched in months because they’re not the favored tool or its specific purpose

my 2 absolutely favorite "paul Sellers" tips are: 2. starting with very light passes with a marking knive and my no1: marking with a pencil and use my fingers for reference the distance. i do that for years know and are happy to know it because its so fast. i also like "next level carpentry". he also has decades of experience an so many useful tips and gadgets that you find nowhere else on YT

Great stuff on this channel - as usual. On that curved template thing. The way my dad (a cabinet maker) taught me 70 years ago was to string the lath like a bow with 2 strings. Short piece of scrap between the strings and it tightened like a windlass until you had the curve you needed. On my first try (I was about 6) he said "One thing you don't want to do." A second later there was a bang as I wound too tight and snapped the lath. "That's the thing!" he grinned.

@gnarthdarkanen7464 4 жыл бұрын

It's worth note somewhere that it's too easy to get lulled into a false sensibility. We buy a brand new tool, and bring it home to fix it for use... when "fixing" involves actively removing teeth, in part of all together... the very part of the tool we want most to work. BUT that's just the thing, isn't it? Nobody outside the craft even thinks of that sort of thing, and we still need Paul to let us know of it. ;o)

That saw trick is brilliant, and it seems to me that it eliminates the extra cost of a variable pitch saw. The one trouble I run into is that long ago now I learned to start the cut with the middle teeth of the blade and a drawing motion. It works quite well, but I still wonder how my grandfather, a trained cabinet maker, came to do that. I have to consciously remember to use the saw toe.

@xxlordbelxx1368 4 жыл бұрын

Tip#8 the other side of that hammer is also known as a punch out.. when you need a small clean gap between a frame and panel space you can make small 1/2in x 1/2in spaced cuts and use the hammer to punch out the section between along the grain. Great for small spaces where you dont want to over cut and mar the wood to leave space for a wire or pipe.
