Paul Sellers’ Desktop Organiser | Episode 2

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 04:00

Paul Sellers
Published 31 Jan 2020

Episode 3 will be released on YouTube on Friday 14th February.

Throughout this project, Paul emphasizes the methods of exactness to get the best results. Accuracy in planing leads to leveling the surfaces and especially those adjacent to one another. From surface planing to round overs and then gluing on the bottom board, there is no compromise.

This is the first time Paul has taught how to establish a fielded surface to a panel or lid via video and there are several techniques he uses in this small organiser that he hasn’t used elsewhere in his video output. Watching the technique in video with a thorough explanation alongside will be very instructional. Enjoy!

Cutting a Dovetail by Eye | Paul Sellers

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

Paul Sellers
Published 7 Nov 2019

Set up a board and start freestyle dovetailing to see just how close you can get to the one in seven ratio. You might surprise yourself. Watch Paul give it a go!

If you’re near to the one in seven ratio, then practice will give you muscle memory you can ultimately depend on. If you are way out, then just keep trying until you are close. It’ll come.

Paul Sellers’ Desktop Organiser | Episode 1

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 06:00

Paul Sellers
Published 17 Jan 2020

Our Desktop Organiser series was originally released for free on Woodworking Masterclasses, to see Episode 2 straight away click here: https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/…

Episode 2 will be released on YouTube on Friday 31st January.

Making smaller projects like this one can elevate the demand for precise handwork and the constant throughout this opening video is to establish accuracy first off.

Though this box is similar to one made in Paul’s foundational woodworking course, the design progresses to include all the tenets of drawer making and fitting. The box must be made to exacting tolerances, so Paul takes you one step at a time to show how he works to that end. You can choose any wood you like or have to hand, from Pine to Sapele and Oak to Spruce. If you are new to woodworking, you might prefer to practice some of the steps before you begin the whole box.
