When to use Bevel up or Bevel Down with a Chisel | Paul Sellers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 фев 2021
- Bevel up or bevel down chisel work? This question comes up often because for some reason, mainly from school woodworking, kids are taught to remove waste from a housing dado, recess, or other using only the bevel down. In reality, however, we need to be ready to use both or one or the other at different times. I hope that this video will help to show alternative ways and also show just how very versatile the chisel is for various applications.

4 minutes and 49 seconds = a lifetime of experience explained simply, coherently and with no added fuss. If only all tutors knew this.
Skilled woodworker AND a skilled teacher. Paul Sellers is such a great fellow.
So true. I’ve been coaching rugby for almost 20 years. Am 40 this year. When I host clinics for new coaches the very first thing I tell them is to take what they had planned and halve it. Take what you WERE going to say and half THAT. Too often they’ll either waffle on or have waaaay too much content for the session. Until they’re comfortable and efficient they should err on the side of finishing early and use that time to get more reps or practice or q&a in.
He casually cuts a dado manually in 1 minute while talking about it 😂🤣. This guy is awesome! . Glad I ran into this channel 👍

1:39 and he has already taught something you won't find in a book. This is the difference between a formal education and an apprentiship.
Paul helps us amateurs take woodworking to the next bevel...I'll see myself out.
That was worth it! 😉
And take my like with ye.
Good day sir
Wood you not make a joke like that agrain, please?
Are you here until Thursday? lol
"It's very simple."
Yeah, reminds me of that video Michelangelo posted on his channel a few weeks ago about how you just get a chunk of marble and a chisel and simply chop away whatever doesn't look like David.
Seriously, you are a gem and many thanks. Much appreciated.
"chop away whatever doesn't look like David."
I'm stealing that 👍
I am stealing too!@@InfectedByEli
Mr. Sellers, I wish I could sit in on your morning coffee sessions. You ooze wisdom. Thank you for what you do.
I agree, to be able to sit and talk woodworking with him would equal years of therapy.
Can a Yankee come to the U.K. and take your class?
I love when I learn more in five minutes from an expert than I have in 30 years of messing about in a workshop by myself. Thank you so much Paul.
Am I the only one who watched this and thought, man I need to sharpen my chisels!!
Every time I see a video like this, I think about sharpening.
Yup with you there buddy. Funny how chisels work better when sharpened correctly.
Not only that, but we have to remember we're looking at an Olympic level woodworker, so any stroke we even take will look atrocious in comparison.
I was going to make the same comment!
I watched this and thought man I need to build my workshop then I can sharpen my chisels lol ( we moved house a year ago and my beloved man cave was left in the hands of another lol 😭🤣)
I literally giggled with joy when you cut that scallop near the end! You are a master.
I stunned at how much I learned, and how much I realized I now understood about the obvious implications of the chisel geometry... what a great 4:49! Amazing!
This guy really is the chiselmeister! My chiselling never works out this way!
Watching and learning from you Professor Sellers is like getting a doctorate degree in woodworking for free.
Thank you, Paul. I never thought of making scallops with a chisel. Looks like I’ve got some practicing to do. I really appreciate your great advice. Stay healthy.
Its not as easy as he makes it look! :)
I'm so glad RUclips exists and that Paul Sellers is on it giving a wealth of knowledge to those that appreciate it.
Paul- I almost cried when you used that pretty piece of straight grain wood for a demonstration. That stuff is really hard to find around where I live. But it was a great lesson!
If I see correctly Paul just recently posts such short videos that only cover one aspect. A sort of micro teaching. These motivate me going to the shop when I have some 10 minutes break between work and three kids. On longer ones you often have too many steps, have to go back again etc. Paul, these short videos are just great for developing skills step by step. They motivate a lot as you get some instant results. Please one per week ;-)
Cheers Christian
Thanks so much Paul. I'm in my third year of messing about with wood, but I've learnt almost everything from you! My passion is equal parts: making boxes, studying craftsmanship history, and meditation.
Chisel is so complicated yet so simple!
i appreciate that you just threw away a piece of good material for our benefit. thank you.
Thank you for that explanation and brilliant demonstration. Sometimes, the best learning experience for a novice are the things Masters take for granted!
That's what separates a great craftsman from a great teacher. A great craftsman knows what he's doing, a great teacher knows why
Holy crap this guy is a wizard. Thank you!
Question, opening a can of paint: Bevel up or down? 😉
I'd love more than anything to have in-person woodworking lessons with Paul, but at the same time, I'd be way too intimidated to touch a tool near him. 😂
He makes them sing, so fun to watch.
I agree a Master makes you nervous but it would be a pleasure to learn one on one with Mr Paul Sellers
och, it makes me cringe so hard when people abuse their chisels like that
@@nagranoth_ rest assured, I'm just joking 😆
@@woodfather I know, but we've both seen people do it...
@@nagranoth_ Its just a chisel. Its not like using a set square as a hammer. A chisel is hardened steel and well structured, if it did get damaged they are pretty easy to sharpen.
To answer the OP bevel down.
And so you know I've never used a chisel for opening paint, as that is the job of a flat head hand screwdriver. chisels I'd expect to be too thick to get into many paint tins. But it is fine for workshoppers to complain about the wrong tools when everything is within reach. When you are doing work with limited toolbox and at pace you use what you have. Getting the job done well and at pace comes before looking after your tools. You can polish them when you get home.
I'm not sure what you think will happen to a chisel if it touches a soft metal paint tin.
Rule N. 1: Make sure your Chisel is extremely sharp
Rule #2: Make sure your both hands behind the chisel's edge.
I love the last part. Its so complicated yet so simple.
Great tips, Paul!! Much appreciated. I wish I could get my chisels that sharp!! Man, oh man... Fantastic work.
The first ever "carpentry tool" I had was a pocket knife that I stole from my dad. I was a little boy and my "workpiece" was a little table. From that point on I fell in love with carpentry. I'm only 17 ( almost 18) and I've started to collect some antique tools. Most, if not all, of which are considered carpentry tools. I am only sure of the possible age of one of them, and that would be my Miller's Falls No. 2A eggbeater drill. They were made from 1938-1957, so it is likely the oldest thing I own ( most of everything I own is at least 20 years old. My truck is 21 and runs pretty good.) The drill itself really only needs a redo on the paint job, the chrome needs redone ( I'm not sure if it is a layer of chrome or if it's chrome paint), and the wood needs a little care. It is really clean and has pretty much no rust at all. The crank "bar" broke before I got it, idk how. I know so because someone welded the screw and the bar together.
I'm just getting into using chisels for more than scraping glue. Got a whetstone sharpening set and watched Mr Sellers sharpening video over and over. My first attempt... the chisel is so sharp ninjas should fear me! Thank you Mr Sellers!.
🤺🤺🤺
Your chisels are razor sharp the timber looked like butter. You make it look so easy
thanks for sharing that was so in formative.love your channel
I could see this turning into one of those video's where it shows you doing something like the scallop, and then me attempting to do the same thing with less than stellar results. Practice makes perfect though!
I have been watching you for years. I always enjoy your knowledge of tools and how to keep them maintained. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Paul for quick tutorial on the best methods for using a chisel. For such a simple tool there is a lot of function. Take care and stay well.
He's looks and sounds younger in each new video. And still a great teacher.
I love watching your videos, Paul. Your gentle demeanor and skill make it look so effortless!
I have this playlist just for exquisite pieces of video, and this is going in it.
Best handling of a chisel I have seen to date by anyone. Thank you sir for the helpful tips.
You have taught your students the most information in the least amount of time. Bravo
Great video. Thank you for making it. Your expertise astounds me. I was taught bevel down at school but it hasnt always worked for me.
Just lovely! Thanks:)

Thanks Paul you're the best 👌
Thank you very much! Its much clearer now.
Precious tips. Thanks for sharing
Watching your video on making a mortise and tenon joint, I realized for the first time how the bevel acts as a wedge/lever (it seems obvious now). Since then I've been experimenting with the orientation of the bevel and learning how it works. An amazing tool!
Paul..... YOU ROCK! Thank you!!!!!
We all learn so much from your videos Paul. Thank you.
Thank you for the inspiration !
