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.

______________________________________________Tools in this video (Affiliate):
Chinese Jack Plane: https://amzn.to/3vtWCUh
This one is my favorite. It’s made of a very hard wood and the handle is high and easy to grip. The one in this video is the 280mm model and I set it up for aggressive work.Chinese Smoothing Plane: https://amzn.to/37GJxOk
This one is the same length as the one above, and it has a lower handle and the wood is a bit softer. Still a fine plane for the money. The only reason I call this my “smoothing” plane is that I set it up for fine work. A shorter plane would probably make an even better smoother.Japanese Ryoba Saw: https://amzn.to/3kfcCD5
Many Ryobas are very good. This is my favorite of the 4-5 I’ve tried.
