Mr. Sellers - how are you not knighted yet? Your love for woodworking, and the great detail in teaching has made woodworking such an important part of my own life. I appreciate everything you do for us.

I'm just starting out. The end of this video is why I can't get enough of Paul Sellers. "And it's all yours. You go ahead."

The idea in this presentation everyone is to kick start thinking differently and then working differently.

“I’ll do this one while I’m in the zone”. Legend.

The joinery is amazing, Paul. Thank you for making it less scary for we mere mortals! 😊

every damn time I watch one of your instructional videos I learn 100 new things. Blown away, again.

Great tutorial as usual, Paul. I like to make the tenon half an inch longer than finished size. That way you can just cut off the end router support rather than muck about getting down to thickness.

Beautifully planed & executed. Elegant in its simplicity! A bow to thank the Master.

Amazing as always, Paul! Thank you for passing on techniques such as this with such dedication to simplicity and quality. Cheers from Brazil.

It's so wonderful to see this amount enthusiasm even after so many years. Thank you for the inspiration and advice, Mr. Sellers.

Tis a thing of beauty! Sat here programming for a living, with this on in the background... I love it!!

Thanks Paul, for all the fantastic videos and sharing of techniques and knowledge. I have reduced my machines to just a bandsaw as hand tool woodworking is so enjoyable.

Bloody brilliant, reminds me of one of my lecturers who was another master of his craft, I felt like I was back at college learning brickwork for a while. thanks Paul.

I have only recently discovered these posts by Paul Sellers. Just an absolute pleasure to watch and learn.

Brilliant !! you are a accomplished master of woodworking, my respect to you sir and thank you for teaching all this great techniques.

Thanks Paul as always. A great gift to a novice like me. I have a loose fitting tenon that im trying to fix. Im going to start again with this method. Thank you sir!

Your tutorials are so great. I think you explain and demonstrate whatever method you are teaching better than anyone else. I have yet to make a mortise and tenon joint and I will definitely use your method. You, sir, are brilliant!

You sir, are a world heritage treasure! Thanks for all you do! And thanks to your son and team of videographers for the outstanding footage!

MR. Sellers.....you are the man! Thanks for all you do for use weekend woodworkers.

It's hypnotic to watch Paul work the wood. Thank you for sharing.

Paul, you've improved my woodworking abilities 100%! Thanks for all your instructions and keep up the good work.

Thank you for sharing this. You have a true teacher's approach. Finding a way to make your students more successful; what a great way to teach!

Thank you Paul, that was unquestionably the most valuable and impressive example of ingenuity and skill that I have ever seen . The longest video I have ever watched , and shall watch again. You have given all of us out 'ere something priceless

Another great tutorial, and with perfect timing as I have just started making a console table and will try this technique on the aprons and legs. Thanks.

Mate that's fantastic Paul. Thanks heaps for putting in the time to teach!

Paul, what a gift you have given woodworkers with this technique! THANK YOU.

I've watched this several times and it is solid gold. Thanks Paul.

Wonderful stuff. Never ever tire of watching Paul..

The right tools for the job and the right attitude all combined with the skill of a master. A joy to watch. Thanks a lot.

Thanks very much. I will use it for the rest of my woodworking life, as I have many things you have taught. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Focused thought on how to make the blades go where we want is what makes this craft so fascinating. Using two router planes so the setting of the finish work makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and being so inspiring.

Thank you Paul for your generous heart, sharing your wisdom with the new generations. God bless you.

You're such a legend for sharing these techniques, Paul. It's not what you earn that makes a man, it's what you give. Super generous. Merci.

That’s brilliant how simple and self-ensuring the method is.

this is GREAT +Paul Sellers I've been struggling with accurate through M/T joints. I think this may be the ticket to taking my joinery to the next level. Thanks for the video.

Paul, I have been watching your videos for some time now and have learned much from watching your work patterns. Thank you for what you do! I just completed a desk for my daughter designed to fit her apartment. Completely electricity-free! From sizing the raw lumber to the dovetailed cabinet to the mortices and tenons...all hand done! Thanks, Paul!

Great tutorial Paul, thanks mate.

A really intelligent way to make sure the mortise is at the perfect position and has the right dimensions. Thank you Paul!

Thank you Paul for sharing your method of precise mortise and tenon joinery - well done.

I never got the chance to spend time with my grandpas before they passed away. I wish I could have learned from them the same way I'm learning from you. Thanks gramps!

It’s very impressive that you can show a new method in 2017 for a very old joinery technique. Your craft is superb, keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for the great detail you always provide. It is a joy to watch such perfection.

I've tried it, and I love it! I've struggled with mortise and tenons, and this method made them so much better. Still not perfect, but with some practice I think I'll have it. Thanks for sharing!

Paul you are a magician! I enjoy your videos immensely. Thank you so much.

Thank you Paul for another wonderfully instructive technique and presentation!

This is great, fantastic method for those us that don't get enough woodworking practise to learn this joint through and through. Many thanks Paul

This is a superb method for the people like me I can never make tenon or mortise straight ever I will definitely try this method thanks for sharing this video

Thank You ! This is such an innovative method for making a beautiful mortise and tenon joint.

You do not have to have two routers to do this. You can use the one router and reset after the depth lines are marked. In this case you will rough down all of the cheeks and then, when all are roughed down, reset the depth according to the depth line and finish off to depth.

wow Paul your so very very generous to the hand tool woodworkers may I on behalf of all of us say a very very big thank you . you inspire me to get in the workshop and its fantastic for being disabled it get me exercise and mental stimulation . pete

I love the technique. As always, I feel like I can conquer the world of woodworking after watching your videos.

Love it.

Beautifully done. SO much more pride in workmanship than I attain with my electrical toys. I wish I wasn't under such a time crunch to get so much done so I could slow it down and feel the shaping of the wood under my own power. I will make my living room furniture this way, no excuses.

"and it's all yours, go ahead and practice it, and you will have tenon making down for the rest of your life" this is what i love about these videos. There is a tradition of master craftsmen being closemouthed and secretive, but here one of the best just wishes to pass on the craft to those who care to learn. Thank . you.

Simply beautiful work. Looking forward to trying this on my first workbench!

I worked out the same technique for the tenons some years back but I'm going to have to look into the mortise technique. Thanks for the video.

I watched and now I am both excited and relaxed! Wonderful! Thanks!

Mr. Sellers, thank you very much for this and all the other teaching videos you have in your channel. They are amazing. Although I have power tools, I reaIy enjoy working with hand tools. Take longer but the joy is incredible. I have always love woodworking and now that I´m retired I builded a shop in my farm to enjoy what I love more; Family, life in the farm and woodworking. My best regards to you from Panamá Sir.

Great methode Paul, really nice! Can't wait to give it a try. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Elegant, seemingly bulletproof method - this is really exciting stuff, great job! It's a special case (equal work-piece thicknesses) but one that comes up very often. I almost didn't watch it, but am very glad I did, as it's truly different from anything I've yet seen. Thank you.

Just tried this method and I love it. I only did one test joint, but I can definitely see how having the jig would lead to much more consistent joints. Thanks!

When I grow up... I'll still want to be like you... Making perfection look easy! Thanks a lot from very confined northern Lower Canada

Paul I love your videos and you have inspired me to start woodworking, I have some tools on order and I'll be getting more in the future and I'm eager to start some woodworking projects. Thank you for the inspiration and sharing your knowledge.

Thank you Oh so much Mister Sellers. You've actually managed to make me think I might succeed in doing this !

Very good work. I am at an age where the noise of industry can be left at the job site. The quiet chisel and plane brings back the joy in woodworking classic style.

Love wood working!..Thank you for the great videos! It is great to feel the passion you've had for this wonderful trade!

When I started wood working as a kid, my dad told me wood working is using common sense to work things out, this method proves he was right, Great video. And I've been woodworking for 20 years and still learning from videos like this, it's what it's all about.👍

Excellent Paul. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Mr Seller is the best online teacher i ever seen.. So patient, gentle and very clever 👍👍 thankyou verymuch Sir 🙏

Mr. Sellers, you are a genius! You have opened the door for me to a world of working wood "unplugged". I have two of your great books ( "Essential Woodworking Hand Tools" and "Working Wood") and the DVD set "Using and Sharpening Essential Woodworking Hand Tools". I cannot thank you enough.

Brilliant~! Both you and Rob Cosman have completely changed my outlook on hand-tool woodworking. For years, my thoughts were that the hand-tool side was for doing the fine-tuning part of the job, not the "heavy work". I've learned that I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Thank you for the instructional video~!

Nothing against other contributors, but I have learned so much more from you. Thank you so much for offering these videos to everyone. Thank you again for you time and expertise.

EXCELLENT!!! and...... BRILLIANT!!!!! Thank you Mr. Sellers!

Brilliant video, love the user of a router plane. Just thinking I'll knock the ends off with a slightly wider chisel almost in one, the grain will be fine over such a short distance and it's so satisfying and really quick

I used to own a boat which had been built in Devon. The steps into the cabin were angled, probably 60 degrees or so. The joiner had made through tenons for each step and they were perfect, immaculate, flawless. If I can manage the same before my time is up I'll be happy. Excellent instruction as always Paul. Thank you.

Paul If I could give you a thousand thumbs up, I would. This is probably the best ever method for a tenon and mortise fitting that I've ever seen. Thanks for this video, I'll treasure it in my mind.

A wonderful idea, simple. I'm trying that this weekend with a bit of ash. Can't wait.

Absolutely amazing, thanks Paul for another great lesson!

A joy too watch thank you.

That is a great tip to use a tenon as a guide for the mortise! The idea that practice is needed is not intuitive. Often we take initial failure as inability instead of enjoying the journey to becoming adequate and then eventually consider ourselves adept. Bravo!

Thanks you dear Mr. Sellers! It is a great job, and excellent result! I think, that method must became a classical for mortise and tennon joint! Thanks you for experience! 👍

Brilliant! The most accurate work is done without a single measurement.

I had created a tenon and then watched this video, tenon scrapped and redone, I even purchased a small had router as my mortise and tenon is for a hand mirror. Guess what one perfect tenon, your videos are brilliant and this method is the total opposite of what I was taught at school nearly 50 years ago. Hope you are going to do a dovetail version.

Such a great learning experience and a joy to watch.

Maestro Sellers, muchas gracias por compartir su enseñanza con el mundo entero, Dios le bendiga siempre!! :D

Brilliant & now I can't wait to try a Mortise & Tenon my self

Your instructional videos are inspiring, hopefully the younger generation will begin taking the trade up and have a lifelong occupation with their hands in lieu of college. We need more craftsman. Thanks Paul for you Lifetime of excellence.

Paul, you are my favorite. Thank you for your help!

You are the best! I am learning a lot with you. Thanks from Brazil.

Exquisite craftmanship. A wonderful lesson in joinery.

Dear Paul even so we don´t know each other, it feels like i know you well through all the work I've seen from you i realy like to thank you for all your content and especially for this unike technic that i have never seen bevor anywhere and you give it away so generous !! sincerely Hubert

Paul, great method - I will definitely be using this. like your presentation too. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming, please

I have lost count of how many times I have watched this video, and still it is always a pleasure. Thank's again Paul.

I really enjoy your videos. You are a true craftsman and a wonderful teacher

Love your work Paul . I recently used a similar method to do a 25 Inch scarf joint on a sailing mast and it was something I learnt from you a wile back I just applied it to a different application . I have recently finished another Christmas star in another table top this time in teak wood and spotted gum and spruce similar to the one in the photo I sent you some time back You must of liked it as you have placed it in your photo section on your web site . This last table was for a client on a 7 Million dollar yacht the owner was ecstatic and said it was a work of art so I thank you for what you have achieved in being able to come up with simple but effective ways of teaching people all over the globe the fine art of Joinery I'm looking forward to re-joining your paid section once financers allow me to do so .

That Sir, is a wonderful method and one that I will definitely use on my next project!! Excellent. Thank you!

Brilliant - Awesome and Simple but oh so Effective! Makes a novice / wannabe woodworker believe he or she can really do this.

I love your method. This is so good. Yes it is time to practice. Thank you Paul.

Loved this video !!.. you sir have the most amazing woodworking skills .. everything looks so easy when you do it, and you explain it so very well. One of the best channels on youtube IMHO :) have a good one

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Relaxing to watch as well as educational.
