What’s the Difference between Crosscut and Ripcut Saws? | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 5 Mar 2021

To understand the difference between ripcut and crosscut saws, you must look at the way the teeth are shaped.

There are two types of sawtooth, chisel point as in rip-cut and pinnacle or pyramid point which are three-sided culminating into a sharp point. With the ripcut saw, it’s the chisel edges to each of the teeth that slice along the long grain. The crosscut saw relies on both the sharp point and then the side bevel to the front and back of each tooth. I think that this video will help you to see the difference!

When to use Bevel up or Bevel Down with a Chisel | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 23 Feb 2021

Bevel up or bevel down chisel work? This question comes up often because for some reason, mainly from school woodworking, kids are taught to remove waste from a housing dado, recess, or other using only the bevel down. In reality, however, we need to be ready to use both or one or the other at different times. I hope that this video will help to show alternative ways and also show just how very versatile the chisel is for various applications.

Why not to use a Block Plane | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 22 Jan 2021

Thinking of buying a block plane? Watch this first!

I have owned a block plane for all of my woodworking years, that’s 56 years to date, but I have to say that this plane is a plane I might pull out from the shelf once or twice a month. The thing to remember is that most of the time it will not do what you think it should do and it has very little value as a first plane.

Add it if you think you might have a need of it but don’t buy it because you think it’s cute. It’s probably the last in the list of planes I would buy.
