I like Paul Sellers for many reasons not least of which are the absence of irritating music, no amateur dramatics and no silly voices - Refreshingly just practical, concise information. Thanks Paul.
TRUE! Learned a lot in just 8 minutes!
Also, he doesn’t try to sell us anything and doesn’t display an assortment of 500 chisels, 350 planes, 30 woodpecker squares, the best table saw with a festool arsenal of machines and some silly look on his face in every thumbnail. If there was a picture of an OG woodworker in the dictionary it would be Mr. Sellers, been following him for years now.
I couldn't of said it better.
Exactly this, I just found him and he'll definitely be the one I will look after first when I want to know a certain thing.
And he just seems kind.
This is the ONE AND ONLY channel on RUclips that you only read positive comments
The Man is a Legend , he has forgotten more than most will ever know. Thanks again.
This man is a gift to humanity.
Yes.
yes 👍🏼👍🏼
I had the pleasure of taking two classes from Mr Sellers in Waco years ago. He is the master of his trade and a wonderful teacher.
The Bob Ross of woodworkers: it looks easy, it's genius and soothing for mind and soul when you watch it.
raccoon Thank you! I grew up outside of the States so had never come across Bob Ross and I’m glad to know him, now. 🌷🌷🌷
55 years of carpentry experience is very valuable, this time is more than half a century and I have a lot of respect for this man's art
Good luck
I am woodworking because of this man. So glad I found him years back when he came out with his first DVD series and book. Changed my life.
Been wood working for 40+years and know 2 legends, and your both of them... God bless
68 year old novice starting woodwork hobby during C19 lockdown. Absolutely loving this. Great stuff!
You only need a handsaw, chisels and plane to start woodworking.
@@bighands69 But beware, if the constructor is Boeing or Airbus, you ordered the wrong plane.

Sorry?
Same here at 52.
@bowlchamps37 this gave me a good chuckle, thanks 😂
Paul Sellers, the Bob Ross of woodwork.
He is amazing...... I am not very fluent in English, however , understanding him is very easy.... That's what I call a teacher... Perfect ..
Many thanks Paul..
That clamp/arch trick is genius. Cheers as always, Paul!
I just use a curve ruler for this... or a metal lineal....and just bend it. Or I use a thin strip of wood, and just bend it also.
Tip #10 is golden! Why didn't I think of that sometime over the last 30 years?!
I would have never thought of that last one with the saw. It always drove me crazy. thanks so much for sharing this video.
It's worth note somewhere that it's too easy to get lulled into a false sensibility. We buy a brand new tool, and bring it home to fix it for use... when "fixing" involves actively removing teeth, in part of all together... the very part of the tool we want most to work.
BUT that's just the thing, isn't it? Nobody outside the craft even thinks of that sort of thing, and we still need Paul to let us know of it. ;o)
Much cheaper than buying a Rob Cosman saw with graduated TPI!
I've seen this done on Japanese pull saws ( filing the first few teeth on the end nearest the handle of course)
My goodness. Those were way more useful than I expected. The last trick with the saw was pure genius. Very much appreciated, so thanks Paul.
I've struggled with that exact problem with my saws...I almost got chills watching that.
I wonder if it works the same for pull saws, filing the first few teeth nearest the handle?
That saw trick is brilliant, and it seems to me that it eliminates the extra cost of a variable pitch saw. The one trouble I run into is that long ago now I learned to start the cut with the middle teeth of the blade and a drawing motion. It works quite well, but I still wonder how my grandfather, a trained cabinet maker, came to do that. I have to consciously remember to use the saw toe.
I was going to comment that trick also! Will do that on my last saws i filled...
@@theeddorian the drawing back if the saw is the way it has always been done as far as I was taught. Starting with the tip of the saw isn't a good idea.
Concise, reliable, repeatable tips, all I need. Thank you Paul Sellers.
It is so hard to argue with the amount and depth 50 years of experience brings to the table! Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge with the rest of the world, and please keep up the good work.
You've given me a whole new take on handsaws! I've struggled with that initial drag so many times. Can't wait to try this
Damn! You’re the teacher I needed in high school. Thank you so much for those useful tips! You’re a true Master craftsman and a credit to your trade!!!
These little gems are so helpful and bring us short-timers into the real heart of fine woodworking as we hone our skills. Thanks for taking the time and for explaining so well what you’ve learned.
Great stuff on this channel - as usual.
On that curved template thing. The way my dad (a cabinet maker) taught me 70 years ago was to string the lath like a bow with 2 strings. Short piece of scrap between the strings and it tightened like a windlass until you had the curve you needed.
On my first try (I was about 6) he said "One thing you don't want to do."
A second later there was a bang as I wound too tight and snapped the lath.
"That's the thing!" he grinned.
Started with power tools and honed my craft. But now I'm using hand tools and finding a real love of woodworking. I really enjoy these easy to do tips. It has helped me through the learning curve and made the woodworking process that much more enjoyable! Thanks and keep up the great work.
As a newcomer to woodworking, these tips are GOLD. Love the saw tip, that was the best advice I have ever had. I found it always is difficult to not make a mess when you start sawing. Problem solved so easily. Brilliant.
I'm always learning something new from your channel. Said it before, a saying my grand father taught me, "if you ain't learning something new everyday, you ain't livin". Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Cheers :)
That saw tooth tip was AWESOME!
my 2 absolutely favorite "paul Sellers" tips are: 2. starting with very light passes with a marking knive and my no1: marking with a pencil and use my fingers for reference the distance. i do that for years know and are happy to know it because its so fast. i also like "next level carpentry". he also has decades of experience an so many useful tips and gadgets that you find nowhere else on YT
You my dear fellow, continue to inspire me to go to my little shop and make something using your methods and techniques. May you continue to stay humble and friendly because your attitude is a tribute to humanity.
Paul Sellers, you’re my hero! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Down loaded this video from your web site and have been reviewing it often to keep in mind, how to avoid earlier mistakes. Your the best I have seen in applied woodworking.
Love the straightedge as a scraper tip. Genius!! Thanks Paul.
This guy has knowledge and wisdom by the leagues, I don't think I'll ever finish watching his videos hahaha
You're a mad wood genius. Always amazed at how simple you make things seem
Took me 57 years to get them. Been having that exact difficulty with three brand new Lie Nielsen saws. Well since February. Put a knot in my stomach to take a file to my saws teeth, But It Works! Dull the first half dozen or so saw teeth and it now precisely Glides into the cut and starts smoothly! Thank you Mr Sellers!! Right again!!
You never actually really use the end of a saw during full stroke cutting you only use it to start the cut.
@@bighands69 When you copy the dovetail cuts to the pins that can be useful. But that can be done with this tool:

Paul, you are an inspiration for us all.
Work skills amd EXPERIENCE is something that money can't buy! It has to be accumulated and thank you for sharing it with us Paul!
The spoke shave tip was great, I'm going out right now to try it. All the tips were great, thank you Paul.
Good god, this man is a genius. It definitely goes to show that experience really can outweigh academic knowledge.
I love the no BS straight to the point with this video. 30 second intro then straight to the tips. No waffle like a lot of content creactors and some genuinely good tips.
you are my guru . you explain it , you demonstrate it, you make it simple. Spending 10 minutes on your video gives me a knowledge that I can use for my entire life. ❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
52 this year and I only knew half of those tips..... the others that I just learned are absolute GENIUS!!!
Paul I bow to your superior knowledge and thank you.
You are "The Daddy" (borstal boy reference)
👍❤👍❤👍❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’m sure glad the RUclips algorithm sent this to me. You earned my sub sir!
I am the living proof that learning everyday doesn’t make you brilliant ...! Damn I have much to learn ! Thank you Master .
I'm just starting woodworking at 56... the number of years you've been doing your craft. Just interesting to reflect on... I have so much to learn.
I salute those who is ready to wood work.
Love the saw tip at the end. Thanks, Paul.
Efficient delivery of knowledge. Thank you sir.
Thank you for your time and knowledge. Great tips and as cihelmrich said no irritating music. Straight to the point. Again thank you.
Genius. Respect. I'm going to download Instagram just for this.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience for those of us who know the value of this information.
Paul, You have the BEST tips that I can use all the time...Thank You..You are the best...
65 years in woodworking, I do a big salute to you.
Im a completely self taught woodworker and little tips like this are awesome
Lovely stuff. This, and other videos from your series, have enabled me to raise my standards when working on wood and timber projects. Woodwork has never been so enjoyable.
Always a pleasure to watch and learn from Mr. Sellers. Excellent tips; will be using them all. Thanks for posting
Always fun to watch. Wish I had a garage full of equipment to actually try doing this stuff myself. Maybe one day...😞
Start with a hammer, a saw, a pencil and a block plane. Just START, that’s the crucial part….
It takes several decades (or if you have the money) to acquire a shop with that amount of equipment. Don’t be fooled by shops full of tools, 3/4 of the tools in everyone’s shop haven’t been touched in months because they’re not the favored tool or its specific purpose
That is a super tip for getting your saw going smoothly into a piece for detailed work, thank you!
He makes it look so easy, like a true pro.
You Sir, are just a genius! Love your videos Paul.
Not a dud tip among them. Absolutely magic. Thanks
Simple,short and effective tips ...just the way it has to be. Many thanks!
This video was the first from Paul I ever seen. I was in shock! This guy knows his stuff! My gosh 8 out 10 I never knew or even heard of those simple genius tricks! This guy is amazing!
You will be blown away by what he teaches on YT. Check them ALL out.
Very useful tips and so well presented. Straight to the point (no pun intended) No waste of time talking about the Mother-in-Law or the neighbours' dog. Thanks Paul.
That clamp/arch trick is brilliant! Never would've thought of that, but it's so simple.
The ruler trick! Love your skills Paul.
I've had a little tack hammer like you showed for years, and never knew what that back end was for. I saw this, and was driving some brads into a piece of wood, it worked flawlessly! I tapped the brads right from between my fingers and then flipped to the ;arger face once they were started. Very cool!
Tip#8 the other side of that hammer is also known as a punch out.. when you need a small clean gap between a frame and panel space you can make small 1/2in x 1/2in spaced cuts and use the hammer to punch out the section between along the grain. Great for small spaces where you dont want to over cut and mar the wood to leave space for a wire or pipe.
Wow. What great tips. I found out about the ruler by accident. Actually for me it was a putty knife. I used it to remove some access glue and noticed I started to shave off some wood. From that point I started to experiment with the putty knife and came up with a few different ways to shave off small amounts of wood.
Thanks for the great tips. Great video. Now I have to move on to more of your videos.

Love the idea with the arch in a sash cramp. Will definitely be using that.
Great tips Paul, thanks for all you do to pass on woodworking methods and practices. These tips are priceless.
Cripes, I was literally in awe of such brilliant tips.
My favourite RUclips woodworker.
.....thank YOU soooooo much !!! that YOU show us all this very good tips !!! kinde regards from Switzerland !!!
Paul, you are just the best. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful tips Paul and the team!
Thanks Paul. Also loved the clamp arch trick.
Thank you so much your sharing your knowledge, I’m eternally grateful 👍
For glue spatulas (or small stirring sticks), I reuse the wooden sticks from icicles (they're the perfect small form factor already)
Thanks Paul. Always helpful. One can never know too much.
Always worth the time to catch your tips
The sound of that saw you used on the last tip is so beautiful!! Very nice tips, by the way!
Saving the best for last eh....I am glad I have seen that tenon saw tip for filing the first bit of the blade, I have had trouble with starting with a tenon saw and having to be drawing back repeatedly before it would start cutting, very infuriating and spoiling accurate beginning of cut, that is a great tip, thanks Paul.
Tip Number Ten is great!
The dovetail saw tip is priceless! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world 😁 hi from Australia!
He is a real craftsman . It looks like he loves what he is doing👌
Brilliant ! Great tips .. and ... no woffle !
Instagram, like facebook, is abusive. Wish there was another opportunity for sharing. Fantastic tips.
I love tip #10. Tried it! Awesome. Thanks Paul
I love the idea cutting off the head of a nail and drilling it in to make a snug fit. So simple yet Brilliant!!!
Try this. I a time served shipwright of some 45 years this tip is much easier, take the nail turn upside down place the nail any size on a hard surface I.e vice, flatten the sharp end of the nail with a couple of hits with your hammer and then drive your nail into the wood, no more splitting of the wood it goes straight home. I hope it helps. It works with any size of nail.
Love that tip on the saw blade and the rule scraper
I'm absolutely blown away!
Thankyou for sharing your tips. Helps me to improve my wood working skills. Thankyou again!!
You are one smart Man. Appreciated
Thank you Paul❤
Love your work, love the tips, thank you. Also I love learning and trying new things.
Wow. Really nice tips! Thanks a lot for sharing, Paul!
Brilliant tips. Love the one with the ruler!
When I get to feeling good about my woodworking skills i just have to watch one of Peter's videos. A humbling experience every time to keep things in perspective. Always more to learn from an experienced and knowledgeable craftsman willing to share.
richard goebel Erm 😒. I think you mean “Paul”! Peter Sellers was inspector Clueseau in the Pink Panther movies 😂.
@@mikeconroy1543 Absolutely correct, Mike. Had a bit of a brain freeze there.
richard goebel No worries. Made me laugh anyway 😊
I like the little glue spatulas. Also, I find when driving in a brad near the end of a board like you do in tip #3 that sometimes the head of the brad when set flush or below the surface can split the wood. I turn a brad over and lightly hammer the head in to crush the fibers so when the final brad is put in the head will not split the wood.
The English Norm.. top bloke, top tips.
