How to Edge Joint Two Boards by Hand | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: HandTools, Joinery, PaulSellers, Planes — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 19 Mar 2021

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: HandTools, Joinery, PaulSellers, Planes — 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!

How to Layout Dovetails with Equal Pins | Paul Sellers

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

Paul Sellers
Published 27 Nov 2020

Dividing for dovetails using an angled line makes it easier to layout for equally sized dovetails but the standard method used leaves half pins on the outside edges. In some projects, this can be a weak point.

This video shows you how to layout for equally sized dovetails and pins. In this case, the board is 5 1/4″ (133.35mm), and we want five 1/2″ (12.7mm) pins and four dovetails but this system can be adapted to any variation of numbers and pins sizes.

NOTE: While I call this a drawer, it is really just a box that slides into the opening of the workstation. I placed the “tails” on the end pieces because they look better when the box is inside the opening. HOWEVER- if this were a drawer with a pull on the front, such as in a cabinet or other piece of furniture, the tails would go on the SIDE pieces, not the front and back pieces. This is because a drawer with a pull on the front puts all the opening/closing stress on that front panel. The drawer is stronger with the pins on the front and tails on the sides. I should have made this more clear in the video.
