Lots of people have trouble finding good handtools. Luckily, many quality tools can be made in the home shop. In this video, I’ll start showing you how to make a quality smoothing plane out of readily-available materials. We’ll cover the types of wooden plane and which one is best for the home woodworker. We’ll also make an excellent, hardened steel blade in about a half hour for less than $20. In my next video, I’ll build and shape the body and get the plane cutting.

The Bullnose Plane | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published on 22 Aug 2019The Bullnose plane is not a tool which would be classed as an “essential”, but it is certainly one which is worthy of an honourable mention. Though its best use is as a refining plane for rebates, Paul often reaches for it for a variety of tasks, such as removing internal arrises on drawers and box-type parts. In this video Paul demonstrates the plane’s adaptable functionality. Once set up, the plane can be a joy to use when perfecting work and would be a great addition to any tool collection.

Acrylic Adhesive: http://amzn.to/2HciXud (affiliate link)
You might need a transparent component in your next project, or you might need a material that slides or bends better than wood. May I suggest acrylic? It’s clearer than glass, is impervious to humidity, and it’s flexible. It’s also cheap, so it might make a good addition to your next project. Now, you can buy a bunch of fancy new tools for working with acrylic, or you can learn how to use standard woodworking tools to cut and shape acrylic sheet. In this video, I’ll show you how to do just that.

How to make a Housing Dado Joint – The Three Joints – | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published on 18 Mar 2015It takes a master woodworker to teach the basics. Watch Paul’s every move in this video. He shows every single detail of cutting this essential woodworking joint. This is one of the three joints that Paul talks about in his woodworking curriculum.
The housing dado is the essential shelving joint. It is the strongest way to suspend a wide horizontal board by passing it into a vertical piece such as a bookshelf. It has many other uses, such as the back of a drawer. Although there are many variations on a theme with this joint mastering the most simple form is the most difficult and important step.

Moulding Planes | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published on 8 Aug 2019We might easily be disaffectionate to the forebears of woodworking, who so enriched our lives with the most wonderful woodworking ever created, using only their bare hands and tools they made to work with. For a short run of moulded stock, moulding planes can be immediate and quite inexpensive. Many “old-timers” kept them around to replicate old moulds and also to develop modern alternatives with their own proven technology. In this video Paul touches the very tip of the iceberg of what lies beneath the surface that we have just barely scraped.
