Sizing The Cabinet Panels | The Cabinet Project #2 | Free Online Woodworking School

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 06:00

Matt Estlea
Published 9 Mar 2020

In this lesson, I show you how to size the side panels of the cabinet by hand. These techniques are applicable to all components ranging from a small project like this, to sizing an entire 8×4 sheet on an industrial panel saw. A good grasp of the importance of face sides and face edges is extremely important here!

Shinto Rasp Review | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 12 Dec 2019

For shaping wood the Shinto Rasp is highly effective. From kayaks to guitar necks and cabriole legs to eagle wings, Paul would always have one of these on hand.

Paul made this video on the Shinto Sawrasp for you, our audience of hand tool enthusiasts, because it works so well and the cost is less prohibitive than hand-cut rasps but it works almost as well. Paul wanted to say upfront that he does not nor will he take any payment for showing this tool in this video.

Paul Sellers’ Desktop Organiser | Episode 4

Published 28 Feb 2020

Our Desktop Organiser series was originally released for free on Woodworking Masterclasses, to see Episode 5 straight away click here: https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/…

Episode 5 will be released on YouTube on Friday 13th March.

The main body of the box is ready for fitting the drawer front in preparation for cutting the half-lap dovetails. Precise fitting ensures neatness to the drawer’s final appearance, and here Paul focuses on the small details he uses in the day to day of drawer making. Small sizes demand higher levels of precision, and this box is a design Paul came up with to create this level of high-demand. Will you rise to the challenge?

Fitting the lid to the body of the box and marrying the surfaces results in a lid that fits properly in every way. But then there is the hinging, combined with the fielding that elevates the standard too.

All of that means that the main quality of the other features are equal in every way. For the inside divider, between the top bin and the drawer beneath, Paul takes you, step by step, through a very simple method for precise fitting.

Brace & Bit | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 14 Nov 2019

Paul has enjoyed using the traditional brace with a variety of different interchangeable bits for over 50 years and they work exceptionally well in a wide range of situations.

Many times we reach for electric drills and battery-driven drill drivers that can seem easy, but at the same time might well endanger the workpiece. Other times we have larger holes to drill that can cause strain to the drill and to the workpiece, whereas the brace and bit might well be the perfect solution. In Paul’s world it’s not an either-or, but a place for both.

Paul Sellers
Published 31 Jan 2020

Episode 3 will be released on YouTube on Friday 14th February.

Throughout this project, Paul emphasizes the methods of exactness to get the best results. Accuracy in planing leads to leveling the surfaces and especially those adjacent to one another. From surface planing to round overs and then gluing on the bottom board, there is no compromise.

This is the first time Paul has taught how to establish a fielded surface to a panel or lid via video and there are several techniques he uses in this small organiser that he hasn’t used elsewhere in his video output. Watching the technique in video with a thorough explanation alongside will be very instructional. Enjoy!
