Wood is Like Straws | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published on 19 Sep 2019Paul has been explaining grain and structure to thousands of students through the years and the best way he found was to show wood as straws.
It brings tremendous clarity to your work and the working of wood when you imagine your material firstly, as unidirectional straws reaching up from the earth to the light and warmth of the sun and then with a twist, dip and bend to encompass its branches and the influences of prevailing winds. This video takes you on such a journey to clarify what we rely on as our material.

Making a Scrub Plane – Convert your Stanley | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 25 Jul 2014Scrub planes are not exclusively used to mill wood to the required dimensions; they are also ideal for hogging off large amounts of wood in everyday woodworking situations.
In this video, Paul Sellers walks you through the steps to customise a basic No.4 Bailey pattern plane into a versatile and fully functional scrub plane, which will probably become one of your favourite plane additions. One great advantage about using a smoothing plane as a scrub plane is that it’s not irreversible; you can simply load it with a regular, un-fettled cutting iron again, and you can continue using the same plane as a smoothing plane.
