Paul Sellers
Published on 3 May 2019Paul is now on the last few steps of completing the construction of the bench itself. He starts this episode by cutting and fitting the wellboard. Paul continues to cut two pieces of wood on the bandsaw, which are then glued in place on top of the wellboard. Once this is all finished, Paul moves on to retracting the screws from both apron pieces and replacing them with bolts. He then moves on to the finishing stages of planning the benchtop and making all things smooth. Paul then ends this episode by applying two coats of water-based finish.
Episode 7 will be released on YouTube on the 17th of May but you can watch it right now at https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/…

How to Make a Bandsaw Tool Tray | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published on 11 Apr 2019This Bandsaw tool tray is a great training project for the Bandsaw. The magnetic design makes it a perfect solution for keeping wrenches like spanners and Allen keys organised and close at hand. They are fast to make, super strong and everything shrinks appropriately in the right direction.
Please note: Before you begin, work safely. Make certain the guards are in place and adjusted to the correct protective height or distance and then fully locked off and locked down. Slipping fences, stops and guards are not always obvious to you when your focus and awareness is on the blade and cutting.
See Paul’s Blog for an additional detailed exercise guide: https://paulsellers.com/2018/12/an-ex…

The Paul Sellers Plywood Workbench | Episode 4
Paul Sellers
Published on 5 Apr 2019The leg frame joinery is a very precise fit and things can go wrong if you are not experienced with how to deal with what we call glue freeze. One of Paul’s leg frames starts to stick but Paul explains throughout the glue up exactly how he deals with stubborn assemblies for a successful outcome. Paul deals with accurate alignment and cutting of the inner apron pieces including the wedges. His unique wedging method guarantees perfect alignment of the leg frames to the aprons while at the same time allowing the leg frames to be detached for moving, etc.
Episode 5 will be released on YouTube on the 19th of April but you can watch it right now at https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/…
