How to make a Shaker Candle Box | Episode 1

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

Published 11 Nov 2022

Many new to woodworking find the concept of hand-cutting dovetails intimidating, and yet it is one of the most fundamental joints used in woodworking. Dovetails are the joints we use for making all kinds of boxes, large and small. They are designed to take certain pressures throughout their lives as drawers, cabinets, and boxes of every shape and size.

The methods of squaring and preparing stock are the critical preface to laying out the joints, so in this episode we show you the steps we take to that end. Following the stock-prep, we focus on a method of layout and making that makes the process fast, efficient, and accurate, after which we cut all four dovetail corners.

This is part of our Paid Membership Drinks Cabinet series! To check out more visit: https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/…

Paul went into a detailed explanation in this dovetailing of the drawer for the drinks cabinet for everyone to truly master drawer making.

It’s the small details that these explanations demonstrate, and we hope that you truly enjoy the whole process of dovetailing for the rest of your life.

Oh, and the videography throughout the episode is stunning for everyone to learn through too. You don’t see this normally. Superb! The calm serenity captured in a man’s work, the confidence, and the love of the craft.

You’ll enjoy seeing the whole drawer come together by every stroke of the different planes Paul uses and then, too, the dovetails tying the whole together and glued up. Such a beautiful art form!

Dovetailing – The Coping Saw Method | Paul Sellers

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

Paul Sellers
Published 25 May 2022

The quickest simplest of all dovetailing methods, bar none.

Whether you need a quick fix to replace a kitchen drawer or a fine element to a precious furniture piece you are making, this dovetail is quick to make and needs no special equipment beyond a chisel, a mallet, a sharp knife, and a square.

That’s nine minutes to a twin dovetailed corner and a mere 36 minutes for a box or a drawer.

Markings used in Woodworking | Paul Sellers

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

Paul Sellers
Published 14 Apr 2022

Woodworking 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.

The Fox Wedge Mortise and Tenon | Paul Sellers

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

Paul Sellers
Published 18 Feb 2022

There 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

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

Paul Sellers
Published 4 Feb 2022

Mortise 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.

Simple things are often hidden in the age of mass information. I put this simple explanation and demonstration together to show you how our fears and doubts are all too often unfounded.

With a little understanding of what’s really happening beneath the plane sole, we can restore methods of working into our daily lives working wood and the result will be new levels of confidence.

How to use a Shooting Board | Paul Sellers

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

Paul Sellers
Published 11 Dec 2020

If you have never used a shooting board for squaring up the ends of wood and finalising rough-cut mitres, you are in for a treat.

Nothing works so beautifully for perfecting such cuts, and the pure bliss of slicing off those onion skins to seat the two faces perfectly is second to none. It’s self-explanatory to make one of these, but showing it in use demystifies how they work and why they work so very well. You must make one for yourself. It’s another lifetime piece of equipment for the cost of wood scraps and an hour of your time!
