Published 5 Feb 2021Tricks of the trade were at once, hidden from others, even within the trade itself. Paul is passing on many of those tricks as he can to ensure they get used by those that matter the most; those who love woodworking as much as he does can keep these tricks alive.

How to use a Scrub Plane | Paul Sellers

Why not to use a Block Plane | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 22 Jan 2021Thinking of buying a block plane? Watch this first!
I have owned a block plane for all of my woodworking years, that’s 56 years to date, but I have to say that this plane is a plane I might pull out from the shelf once or twice a month. The thing to remember is that most of the time it will not do what you think it should do and it has very little value as a first plane.
Add it if you think you might have a need of it but don’t buy it because you think it’s cute. It’s probably the last in the list of planes I would buy.

How to use a Shooting Board | Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers
Published 11 Dec 2020If 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
Paul Sellers
Published 27 Nov 2020Dividing 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.
