Published 15 Jul 2022I have encouraged people to customise wooden saw handles to make them more dynamic in hand, but here is the simplest one yet and one I can thoroughly recommend doing as it makes the saw yours! Removing the studs and replacing them is more of a faff than it is worth when all you want is a decent saw.
In this video, I take a saw that cuts well and can be resharpened a thousand times with a simple triangular saw file. By doing this, you are no longer buying into the throwaway saw market and you own a lifetime saw.
You can do this, and we will show you how!

How to Make a Spatula | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 23 May 2022It’s a small project but not to be despised. Paul would start anyone new to woodworking with this simple and straightforward kitchen utensil simply because of some of the techniques you will use for many years to come.
Whether you later choose to make a kayak or a guitar neck, a three-legged stool, or a tool handle, everything taught in this wooden spatula, together with the tools, will be the same techniques.
It’s a win-win project, and Paul has used this with hundreds upon hundreds of his students through the years.

Markings used in Woodworking | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 14 Apr 2022Woodworking marks we use in the laying out process for joinery are usually made with pencils, knives, and marking gauges of different types, and those new to using hand tool methods might feel confused as to when to use what type during layout.
In this video, we show where and when to use temporary pencil lines in preparation for permanent marks with knives and marking gauges so that after the joinery is completed, all visible markings disappear with the completion of each joint.
