A shop full of shavings and chips is so very much more enjoyable than one full of dust and dust collectors. It is much easier on the ears and eyes too. Thanks Paul.
That would’ve taken me half the day to do by hand, then another half to run to the lumber yard to get another board because I screwed it up and another 20 minutes to get the bandsaw set up and cut with it.... your the best paul!
@@jonstark4003 lol. I would probably use a jigsaw to cut the guide in the first place then try my hardest to do a finish cut with a router and every clamp in the neighborhood just because i don't even trust myself to sand it without ruining the square. You know, the right angle he just cuts by hand and never even checks. The one he can also maintain with the handsaw without even checking the far side pencil mark, the one he made just for the viewer, to make sure he didn't overshoot. I actually have a huge problem with how quickly he even drew those lines. That's a process i also would have used every clamp for. And maybe glue. This is outrageous. Edit: oh and that little sharp point. I'd do that with a chisel, clearly. But then anybody who bent down to look at it closely would be banished from my shop.
@@warfreddy6968 Same here definitely! Paul is just flat out awesome with hand tools and of course his practice and experience is how he got there. If I could do it that precise and quick I would not even bother with power tools. The time it takes to set up the template and router alone I would have already had the piece finished haha. Unfortunately I'm not that skilled with hand tools so jigsaw and router it is!
As a new woodworker watching this, all I can say is, "wow." - So many mistakes I'm making just simply come from not fully understanding wood grain direction and cutting angles. What I made today looks horrible... but I made it using only my chisel and hand saw. Paul Sellers is certainly inspiring.
Even though I knew exactly how you were going to approach this, because I've watched you teach shaping many times before I watched again just for the pure joy of seeing a master at work.
That's exactly how I feel watching Paul's videos. They take me back to my childhood when I used to watch my Father doing exactly the same. I regrettably didn't follow my dad into the carpentry trade so I'm now trying to rejuvenate methods I learned 50 years ago and put them into practice in later life as a hobby. Paul's an icon.
An outside curve is the easiest of them to do; especially with such a large radius. But the ease with which he cuts it out... I had to watch that part twice to make sure I wasn't missing something. 😲 Paul is truly a master of his field.
@@GRIBBO-77 One thing I always wonder is where he gets this beautiful dimensioned softwood. Around here, lumberyards only sell rough sawn stuff, and the DIY stores only have crappy quality, laminated "boards".
@@schm4704 I echo this. Paul do any of the UK diy chains sell any repeatedly good timer? I have selected straight wood from a number, left it in the hall and the next day is been a banana in several planes.
Brilliant, thank you, Mr. Sellers! My dog is so used to my making those sounds with my hand tools, that he was convinced that your video meant there was someone else here! It was inspiring to see the your delight in what you were doing!
Not a gesture wasted. This is actually the Masterclass of the Master. Thank you, Sir P. S. I admit i take my time to watch your classes. I wait till the right time of the day, sometimes I have to wait a few days more, just to be able to fully enjoy your lesson
that's an interesting idea. maybe instead of watching uploads as they come I should have specific times and days that I schedule for myself to watch the week's uploads of certain channels. thanks for the idea, octav
Paul, over the last few weeks I've been watching many of your videos. What I learned is that for the past 25 years I've been doing wood working incorrectly. I'm amazed at how efficient you are with so few tools. I recently made several purchases on ebay for hand tools. Thank you so much for your invaluable information! I have learned so much from you in such a short time.
Wow, you make that wood act like butter. It's incredible to see what someone with so much experience is capable of. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos, thanks for sharing these.
i'm just about to make a garden bench for my recently passed sister in law and wanted to add a bit of a feature to it rather than it all being square , thx so much for your help i'm going to try this method , i'm recently new to DIY but have surprised myself how good i am with timber , thx for your help here much appreciated
Paul your mastery of tool manipulation is amazing. I used to watch my Uncle who was a Master Carpenter/Cabinet maker with something like 50 years experience and his actions were much like yours .
I love watching people that are so good they make everything look effortless and easy 👌 I'm just getting into woodworking, and am enjoying your videos immensely.
Three seconds before you said 'This is so enjoyable!' I had the strong urge to run into my workshop and grab a random chisel and do some board. I guess I have to put one besides my computer for watching your videos more relaxed. :D
that is amazing. I was making a round wooden shield by hand and used a hacksaw all the way around. I am positive that this method would have been faster and cleaner. What I need to do is finish watching all your videos before I do anything ever again haha
Let me tell you, that was just as much fun to WATCH!! 🤗 It’s so satisfying to see so much progress being made with so little effort...unless it’s your experience that makes it look so easy. You did it with such finesse, as with everything else. Looking forward to trying this on a project. I love shaping things by hand, so I can already tell that I’m gonna enjoy this.
I've been watching your video's for a few years now and they are just as enjoyable now as they where back then! But I really need to get around to reading your book, it's still standing in the cupboard.. :-) Thank you Paul!
The other great point about this is that with a band saw, all the finishing work is still to be done. With this method you can complete finishing work as you go.
I am humbled by this. My Grandfather also a Master craftsman could do it and I inherited some of his Gene's. Shame experience cannot be so I am still learning. Thank you Paul a lesson I will remember.
Thanks for this video, Paul. Before watching this, I would have relied on my band saw or jigsaw to cut a curve like that. Woodworking is so much more enjoyable when done with simple hand tools.
Dear Paul, I've been following your videos for some time. I really enjoy them; they way you make the job seem so easy, the tool technics and the love for the wood and details. I am teacher in a middle-school and I'm sure I will use some of your videos - like this one - to teach certain technics to my students. Thank you very much and best regards from Alicante (Spain).
Amazing display of technique, awesome, it took him less than 5 minutes. I really enjoy watching maestro Paul performing like this, or should I say outperforming the rest. I don't even dare to call myself a woodworker after watching this video.
I would love to know the PPI of that gent's saw - it really moves and actually sounds pretty aggressive also, it growls when Mr. Sellers is sawing on what looks like pine. Thanks for posting these videos - I NEVER fail to learn so much! Keep up the good work.
I wish I would have watched this a couple of weeks ago. I'm a novice, and I've been working on a project that has some curves. I ended up rough cutting out blocky sections with a keyhole saw and coping saw, trying to chisel across the grain, using a rasp that is too wide and too rough, and sanding my fingers to the bone to get an uneven, dissatisfying result. I look forward to using this technique on my next project.
Amazing. Simple way to do this. Of course, high-quality, properly sharpened tools are a must. I chuckled at Aaron's comment below - it sounds like me! :) But this technique is totally possible by the average person if the hand tools are of quality and tuned properly.
You give the wrong impression. How can it be anything other than possible when it's seen done like this? And the tools are ordinary not high quality. The sharpness you got right and it's actually only the sharpness that really matters. The chisel cost £2 from Aldi, the spokeshave £8 from eBay.
I assume that most people here - by now - now how to work with the grain. But in case someone does not get it: I would suggest you add a little regarding how to align the wood and which direction to work into :)
A shop full of shavings and chips is so very much more enjoyable than one full of dust and dust collectors. It is much easier on the ears and eyes too. Thanks Paul.
it's like watching golf....he makes it look so easy...
That would’ve taken me half the day to do by hand, then another half to run to the lumber yard to get another board because I screwed it up and another 20 minutes to get the bandsaw set up and cut with it.... your the best paul!
Just 20 years of practice it's done in a jiffy!
@@warfreddy6968 Right? I'm watching this thinking he's made this look way too easy.

It took me like 3 tries to get a goofy looking mallet. Just enjoy the process!!!
Brilliant lesson Paul, it`s good to see that one does not always need expensive machines.
Thanks for that.

How to cut curves in wood without a power tool that was my quest. I found this wizard. Thank you, maestro!
04:26 Masterclass

I am completely mesmerized. "This is so enjoyable" - yes, for me to watch.

My favorite channel by far…
You are a wizard with a chisel and mallet. Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
This stop-cutting method looks like so much fun.
Yet another demonstration from a master woodworker.
Always a pleasure to watch you work
I could watch your videos all day, Paul. You give me the confidence to go out and try things. Thanks for that.

I had to go look up the word 'arris'. Now I know. Paul teaches me many things.
Great presentation. Thank you for your time and effort to make this video and share it with us. Greetings from Croatia.
Paul your mastery of tool manipulation is amazing.

I really enjoy these quick tip videos from Paul. Knowledge from a master is priceless.
I wish RUclips had more than just a thumbs up, you definitely deserve ❤❤❤and👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Today is Thanksgiving Day. One of the things I am thankful for is Paul Sellers videos. Thank you, Paul!
Your passion, perspective, experience, and skill, are very much appreciated! Your love of woodworking is inspiring to me. Thank you!
Omg I had no idea it could be so simple. Thank you so much for sharing
the way he did that last section, was lightning fast and to the line. Steady and confident.
Thanks Paul. A good reminder that one does not always need a respirator in the shop.
that is amazing. I was making a round wooden shield by hand and used a hacksaw all the way around. I am positive that this method would have been faster and cleaner. What I need to do is finish watching all your videos before I do anything ever again haha
No matter how many videos I watch you always amaze thank you
*So enjoyable. Yes! So clever, well yes. So Easy... and that too! Much less tension than struggling with a band saw!*
I likely wouldn’t have considered that method before, now I will. Thank you 👍
Let me tell you, that was just as much fun to WATCH!! 🤗 It’s so satisfying to see so much progress being made with so little effort...unless it’s your experience that makes it look so easy.

Do it 100 times and it will feel easy. Do it 1000 times and you will be a master.
I learn something from every single one of your videos, Paul. You are my woodworking hero!
That is so good, I have to try that now instead of a jig saw. Thank you Mr. Sellers
What amazes me is Paul could do that on a commercial break here in the US. It would take me all morning to do it.
Do it many times and you will learn to become good and fast.
Nothing better than a sharp blade removing scrap wood and then refining....music to my ears 😉😊
I've been watching your video's for a few years now and they are just as enjoyable now as they where back then! But I really need to get around to reading your book, it's still standing in the cupboard.. :-)
Thank you Paul!
4:26 that is some awesome chiselling, right down the line, no messing.
The other great point about this is that with a band saw, all the finishing work is still to be done. With this method you can complete finishing work as you go.
That’s amazing your like a surgeon with that chisel thank you👍🏻
Great tips, Paul. I have learned something here! Thanks, my friend!

Paul,You have years of experience that make skilled work look easy. Thank you.
Wow! Just Wow!! Thank you for sharing that. I would never have been brave enough to try that..... but now...maybe! Thank you. 👍🏻
Again a super learnable video Mr. Paul!! Many thanks.

I bought a spoke shave from one of your videos earlier in the year. It’s the most fun plane I’ve ever used.😊👍🏻
Very nice video.
Genius in action.
As always, quiet confidence & competence. Inspirational stuff.
Beautiful and made look so effortless. Great video
You said I'd be amazed well I am. I feel I need to find an excuse to give it a go. Brilliant thank you and all the best.

Unbeleivable. You are a true master

Amazing work in such a short period of time. Wow. Thanks for that.
Another awesome bit of teaching from our friend Paul!
Another great lesson and you always make it look so easy and quick.
Amazing! and no dust

Thank you so much Paul.
you just save my life I'm a begginer and it made me so confuse buying a expensive band saw 🥴
Great tip!
I always learn something from you Paul! Today my takeaway was the word "Arris".
Thanks 😀
I brake the arris on most of my projects.
It is amazing to me how easy that looks from a guy with over 50 years of experience. I don't get anywhere near that quick or smooth in my shop, yet.
I wish I would have watched this a couple of weeks ago. I'm a novice, and I've been working on a project that has some curves.

Fico sempre fascinado com a rapidez e perfeição que faz com ferramentas manuais, um abraço Paul.
Sir, Watching you makes me wish there was an apprenticeship program available when I was younger!
