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!

How to Layout Dovetails with Equal Pins | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — 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.

20 hours ago (edited)
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.

I discontinued this at the start of 2019 to focus solely on video creation and teaching.

During the week, I film woodworking projects, tutorials, reviews and a viewer favourite ‘Tool Duel’ where I compare two competitive manufacturers tools against one another to find out which is best. I also have a Free Online Woodworking School which you should definitely check out!

Making miter joints are never easy, especially on long cuts. Here is a simple technique that can cover up a multitude of sins. it will also take some of the stress out of cutting perfect miters. This technique saved me a few time when I was making miters for Pantry cabinets and Home Theaters where the length of cuts are close to 8 feet.

I also had 5 years of experience working at Axminster Tools and Machinery where I helped customers with purchasing tools, demonstrated in stores and events, and gained extensive knowledge about a variety of tools and brands. I discontinued this at the start of 2019 to focus solely on video creation and teaching.

During the week, I film woodworking projects, tutorials, reviews and a viewer favourite ‘Tool Duel’ where I compare two competitive manufacturers tools against one another to find out which is best. I also have a Free Online Woodworking School which you should definitely check out!

I like to have a laugh and my videos are quite fast paced BUT you will learn a lot, I assure you.

Lets go make a mess.
