Paul's Router Planes | Paul Sellers

I have made 20-30 of my own design router planes over the last few years and consider them, at the very least, superior to any I have ever used. We put together kits for our full-size version but wanted to use this video to discuss my variations on the theme, making them from old files and scraps.

Workshop Update | Paul Sellers

I am in transition, along with all my friends on the video team. Our family business has been working progressively towards a certain type of independence that I have advocated for for three decades. Circumstances necessitated my starting a hands-on woodworking school. Still, in recent years we switched over to videoing my teaching because we wanted to further our outreach to everyone around the world. We no longer needed the massive space we had adopted and wanted the reality of what 90% of our audience said they had access to. The studio space I work in is a single-car garage space, and

Paul's Plane Speaking | Paul Sellers

My hand planes have served me for six decades of daily use, and my #4 Stanley smoothing plane can be bought via eBay for as little as £20. I advocate that people start with a secondhand version because so much can be learned from the process of restoration. I wanted to explain my choices of planes because they will enable most people to buy them at a lower price than so-called premium planes, yet you will achieve the same results for a fraction of the cost without compromise. My choices of a handful of planes will democratise woodworking for anyone starting. Enjoy! -------------------- Fo

Paul's Chisel Choices | Paul Sellers

Many people struggle to work out which general and every-purpose chisel they need because there are too many people out there with their various opinions. My consideration comes from a lifetime of using chisels, and I think I have used every type or make. In this video, I explain what I am looking for in my day-to-day chisels. I take no profit from the makers, no freebies or backhanders, not a thing. This video will take the guesswork out of what to get, whether you are new to woodworking or new to hand tools. Thank you for watching! For more Information about chisels follow: https://co

Honing Guide for Thin Blades | Paul Sellers

I think I get more comments asking me about keeping thin blades square on the cutting edge when honing than almost anything else. I developed an idea I had in my mind for a long time before I decided to provide a foolproof solution, and this guide is it. In a single guide with twin angles and a single channel, the wedge locks the blade in the plane, and honing a twin-bevelled cutting edge becomes a breeze. -------------------- For more free woodworking videos, please consider subscribing to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/PaulSellersWoodwork?sub_confirmation=1 Want to learn mor

Rebates, Rabbets and Fillister Planes | Paul Sellers

Sometimes we see planes and think that they are essential to our woodworking, but in reality, they might be more of a luxury than a necessity. On the other hand, they can get us out of a bind, too. I wanted to present my perspective on special planes designed to work on rebates that you might come across and question their worth to you. This video will help you make an educated decision. -------------------- For more free woodworking videos, please consider subscribing to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/PaulSellersWoodwork?sub_confirmation=1 Want to learn more about woodworking

Defective Wood Preparation | Paul Sellers

Thinned shellac is the best sanding sealer, and it can be used under any wood finish you choose to apply. For this wood prep video, I thinned the dewaxed shellac by about 25% by adding methylated spirits. Applying it all over the workpieces enables me to apply it with a brush and sand it 10 minutes later. This we call denibbing. Shellac will wick into all pores and wood surfaces, including worm runs, and solidify particles in place, ready for sanding. Once sanded, the wood is ready for further applications of finish to be applied. -------------------- For more free woodworking videos, ple
