3 Chisel Mortise Method | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published Jan 19, 2024Sometimes, we avoid simple joinery because we believe it cannot be done well, and efficiently by hand. This mortise, 4″ long and 1 1/2″ deep by half an inch, took me around seven minutes.
In any hardwood, oak, for instance, it might take a minute longer, but no more. I did this video to show a technique using my mortise guide and a strategic way using three standard chisels and a method.
I am making a bed with eight mortise and tenon joints, and the mortise I chopped here is one of them.
Enjoy real woodworking with me; it doesn’t always need to be called work!

Sharpening a Chisel in under a Minute | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 15 Jun 2023I see more and more options for sharpening a chisel and yet, with no mechanical means at all, I go from a chisel I have dulled to surgically sharp in about a minute or less.
The fact is I never need to use a grinding wheel, and I was taught to sharpen by the masters of sharpening in my apprenticeship days 58 years ago which I have never strayed from because I found every other option too slow and, dare I say it, DULL and time consuming no matter which method or which machine!
Watch the video and see what you feel.

When to use Bevel up or Bevel Down with a Chisel | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 23 Feb 2021Bevel up or bevel down chisel work? This question comes up often because for some reason, mainly from school woodworking, kids are taught to remove waste from a housing dado, recess, or other using only the bevel down. In reality, however, we need to be ready to use both or one or the other at different times. I hope that this video will help to show alternative ways and also show just how very versatile the chisel is for various applications.

How to Sharpen a V Tool or Carving Gouge – Hand Tool Woodworking
Wood By Wright
Published 18 May 2017What good is a carving chisel if it is not sharp? The V-tool and Carving gouge are easier to sharpen than they look if you understand a few basic Hand Tool truths. Any blade is sharpened the same way but some blades require the right tool to reach the tip. All woodworking is, is a sharp iron working its way through the wood. Here is how to do it!

Diamond Stones: http://amzn.to/2oppz0J (I use Extra-coarse, Medium-fine, and Extra-fine)

Published 1 Sep 2020In this video, I’ll show you the quick, accurate way to cut a mortise. While it’s perfectly ok to do this with just a chisel and mallet, it’s quite often quicker to drill the waste out first. Especially on small, delicate components like this that won’t take repeated beating very well!
