Published 25 May 2022The quickest simplest of all dovetailing methods, bar none.
Whether you need a quick fix to replace a kitchen drawer or a fine element to a precious furniture piece you are making, this dovetail is quick to make and needs no special equipment beyond a chisel, a mallet, a sharp knife, and a square.
That’s nine minutes to a twin dovetailed corner and a mere 36 minutes for a box or a drawer.

The Story of Woodworking on YouTube: 2005-2017. A Documentary About Sharing a Craft.
Steve Ramsey – Woodworking for Mere Mortals
Published 2 Sep 2022This is the story about woodworking on YouTube and how it got started. The first year of YouTube was mostly about sharing videos with friends, family and even colleagues, and on December 13, 2005 John Leeke, @John Leeke a historic preservationist made history by posting the platform’s first woodworking video.
Frank Howarth @frank howarth would create the first woodworking channel on July 8, 2006, followed shortly after by Marc Spagnuolo @The Wood Whisperer on Oct 18, 2006 and Matthias Wandel @Matthias Wandel on Apr 9, 2007.
The recession in 2008 contributed to only a handful of new channels emerging over the next few years. Ones who are still posting today include Carl Jacobsen, Colin Knecht, Chad Stanton, WoodWorkers Guild Of America, Chop With Chris, myself, Ana White, Jon Peters, Alain Vaillancourt, Stumpy Nubs, Samurai Carpenter, John Heisz, and Paul Sellers.
In 2013, the flood gates opened, ushering in the Golden Age of YouTube woodworking and maker channels (2013-2017), followed by the Influencer Era and the COVID era.
If you’ve been a long time YouTube viewer, I hope you enjoy this nostalgic look at the early days and if you’re new to the platform, maybe you’ll check out some of this early content. A lot of it might seem rough by today’s standards, but it was content made by a few passionate people for the sheer joy of sharing videos about woodworking.

Markings used in Woodworking | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 14 Apr 2022Woodworking marks we use in the laying out process for joinery are usually made with pencils, knives, and marking gauges of different types, and those new to using hand tool methods might feel confused as to when to use what type during layout.
In this video, we show where and when to use temporary pencil lines in preparation for permanent marks with knives and marking gauges so that after the joinery is completed, all visible markings disappear with the completion of each joint.

Planes I True My Wood With | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 18 Mar 2022There is no doubt that truing up wood using hand planing methods can be a daunting thought. So we hope that this video of Paul’s strategy will make planing wood much easier for you.
Using a combination of planes and techniques makes the highs low and brings the lows high. This system works like no other so enjoy a strategy that Paul has used for decades in straightening and squaring his wood ready for joinery.

Understanding Wood Grain | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 4 Mar 2022Grain for most people is the look wood has in its diverse colour and configuration. For the woodworker, grain is the inner depth that must be worked with saws, chisels, and planes, and the understanding reinforces the way the wood must always be worked to work “with” the grain rather than against it.
Paul put this video together to help bridge the gap of information between the observer, who needs only to see and feel, and the maker, who must understand how the fibre of wood works like the material in their life.

The Fox Wedge Mortise and Tenon | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 18 Feb 2022There are different ways to make mortise and tenons secure and permanent, but few of them compare to the mechanical strength of the fox-tail or fox-wedged mortise and tenon joint.
Once seated to the shoulders, this joint will never come apart without breaking the mortise apart. We hope that you enjoy seeing exactly how this remarkable woodworking joint is made, but, more importantly, how and why it works so well.

The Paul Sellers Mortise Guide
Paul Sellers
Published 4 Feb 2022Mortise guides were once an unknown aid in woodworking realms but they ensure parallelity to the outside face of any mortise you cut and increase your levels of accuracy to near perfection.
Paul invented this guide for woodworking students to improve their mortising work and saw thousands of them succeed in cutting perfect mortises but also found himself reaching for one daily too.
Make metric and imperial sets and customise them for specific jobs too.
