Published on 28 Feb 2017

In this woodworking project, I’m building a hand tool tote using hand-cut dovetails. This project was built so that I could bring a few hand tools with me to my week-long course at the John C. Campbell Folk School (http://bit.ly/folkschool). Enjoy!

In this video Paul critiques a dovetail sent in by Jenny, one of our beginners from Common Woodworking. Not everyone will run into the same problems, however if we can get a sample of the issues people are facing with their first experiences of joinery then we will be able to advise you on how to avoid these problems in the future.

If you are new to joinery and would like feedback from Paul on your dovetails, you can send them in using the link below:

My name is Matt Estlea, I’m a 23 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***. I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre with a further 1 year working as an Artist in Residence at the Sylva Foundation. I now teach City and Guilds Furniture Making at Rycotewood as of September 2018.

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.

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

I realized I have never addressed this problem so here it is along with the simple solution. Result should be more accurate dovetails from the saw!

Scrub Plane – a Historical Perspective – | Paul Sellers

Filed under: History, Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , , — Nicholas @ 04:00

Paul Sellers
Published on 7 Aug 2014

In times past, before Stanley Rule and Level cast their first all-metal scrub plane, well used and worn-down wooden smoothing planes were kept as roughing planes for scrubbing off rough surfaces in preparation for more refined work. Longer planes such as jack planes and jointer planes followed to further level and straighten the work before the smoothing plane smoothed out the final surfaces.
The roughing plane had many names including Hunter plane, Scud or Scudding plane; Scurf or Scurfing plane; Cow plane and I am sure others I haven’t heard of and was the forerunner to the original Stanley scrub plane we know today. The wooden roughing plane worked well for centuries but with Stanley’s new fangled all-metal planes came the necessity of metal scrub planes too. In this video I explain a little of the important history behind the development of the scrub plane and the transition from wooden planes to the all metal versions.

What do you need to do to your dimensioned wood to prepare it for joinery? Often there are undulations or machine marks in the surface of the wood, or movement after dimensioning that needs removing before joinery layout occurs. Let’s work on getting the silky smooth surface and square faces that make for crisp, accurate joinery.
