This vlog started just after I was attacked by a middle-aged runner. This was because of a brief altercation where he forced two small children and their mother off the official cycle path when he could and should have moved to his rightful lane to allow them to continue on the safety of a designated and mandatory cycleway where they were well protected.
After confronting him very briefly with no raised voice or swearing changed my life through an act of intentional aggression. I want to explain why and some of what resulted in this vlog here.

It may not be a large project, but creating a ladle from fully kiln-dried hardwoods like sycamore and maple differs from green, uncured wood.
Tougher to carve yes, but there is no shrinkage and no risk of cracking through drying. It is a wonderful project for learning to work with multi-directional grain and to also use gouges and such.
This is a great beginner guide for those starting with gouge work.

My daily excursions took me in search of newts and frogspawn as well as water snails, sticklebacks, and various bright-winged flyers nestling on Rosebay Willowherb.
My early walks and bike rides take me past the lake that backs onto my garage workshop, so it is a constant draw for me to share the two realms of woodworking and nature with you.

To make a box from beginning to end and end with a superb result is usually the dream of every new woodworker. We combined the art of woodworking with superb no-frills videography to present a box-making video that takes out the guesswork and inspires you to make your heirloom box.
Though it is lovely to look at, it's far from complicated as we take you step by step through the traditions of dovetailing and box-making. No noise, no fuss, just, complete clarity using a handful of common hand tools.
Almost any wood will work: choose something straight-grained and knot-free to keep things simple. The box is a new design for everyone to learn boxmaking from, so you cannot have seen this elsewhere, and several unique nuances will open your eyes to creating something very special!

Deciding to do this surprised me because when you see all of the pieces come together in each room, it reminds you of a jigsaw puzzle that might not make much sense until those final pieces fill in the blank spaces and, instead of seeing just a bed or a dining table you see the composition where all the pieces make a whole room with beautiful creations giving the whole picture.
I hope you enjoy watching this, but even more than that, that you feel inspired to start your journey building a houseful of furniture.
If you want to build your very own furniture, all projects are available on woodworkingmasterclasses.com with more to come!
If you're new to woodworking, then head over to commonwoodworking.com for helpful advice, guides and even a few starter projects!

In any hardwood, oak, for instance, it might take a minute longer, but no more. I did this video to show a technique using my mortise guide and a strategic way using three standard chisels and a method.
I am making a bed with eight mortise and tenon joints, and the mortise I chopped here is one of them.
Enjoy real woodworking with me; it doesn't always need to be called work!

I agonised for two weeks, and one day it came to me; with three joints and a handful of hand tools, you can make just about any furniture piece you care to name.
Since then, I have used this basic tenet to teach and train hundreds of thousands of woodworkers, just like you. It's still working!

It's been a month since I had the procedures, one to each hand, and I wanted you all to know it was a complete success, and I barely missed more than a few days of work.
Thank you all for your prayers and well-wishing. It feels so good to be complete again!

If no one has explained the reasoning behind drawer joint choices, this simple video will help. Drawers take a lot of stresses and strains, and the dovetail joint is the signature joint of drawers and boxes. But did you know that a housing dado can also improve the functionality of a drawer?
This video will walk you through the reasoning for both joints.

Planing dead flat for hand planing or power planing can take time, but this bandsaw method takes only a few short minutes to do, and you are on your way to your work faster than blinking.

I have to tell you some news about my two hands.
For over 20 years, I have had a contraction on a finger of each hand that prevents the fingers from straightening, and so far, it has not restricted my work, but one day, it will if I don't take some action now. I have decided it is time to have some work done by a surgeon specialising in this disease who believes she can help me, so this video explains what I am proposing.
I will keep you posted on my progress.

In this video, I walk you through the most unique sharpening method there is for any woodworking hand tool. Once you learn how to sharpen and set up this tool, you'll be able to refine any hard and dense-grained wood surface you will ever encounter, bar none.
Where the hand plane might fail you, the #80 cabinet scraper takes over.

You need to lay out only once, no matter how many dovetails you make and the dovetails will even be interchangeable. Additionally, you can vary the dovetail sizes proportionally by sliding the workpiece up and down the guide for larger or smaller dovetails too.
I hope you enjoy this little nugget!

I know that shooting boards work well, but for end-grain planing with added security vice-held stock and the guide, you add solidity and comfort.
This one has no equal. You don't have to believe me because in ten minutes and from scraps, you can make your own and check it out for yourself.
You can find the drawing of this project here: paulsellers.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Vise-held-Vertical-End-grain-Planing-Guide.pdf.pdf

Well now you do!
Why don’t you give it a go?
The fact is I never need to use a grinding wheel, and I was taught to sharpen by the masters of sharpening in my apprenticeship days 58 years ago which I have never strayed from because I found every other option too slow and, dare I say it, DULL and time consuming no matter which method or which machine!
Watch the video and see what you feel.

Most theories out there are little more than opinions, so I put this video out to try to counter some of the erroneous information. I hope it helps, and you need to experiment just a little to get it right for you.
