I like Paul’s timeless hand chisel work. I have a go cutting dovetails and watch Paul he is excellent.

Heart-stopping moment at 27:30, when the wood starts to split!

That's what happens when someone teaches bad techniques....

Thank you for putting yourself and your skills out there for everyone! I don't normally comment on things like this, but you have reached 3 generations of woodworkers in my family! You have reached more people than you could ever imagine. You have left a great legacy and we thank you!

Hello All, there was a previous version temporarily published which some of you may have seen. Unfortunately there is no way to transfer your comments, so feel free to re-comment if necessary. Thank you for your patience.

Mr Sellers, which dovetail saw are you using in your video? I just recently picked up a Veritas 20tpi dovetail saw and I've been quite happy with it and wondering what you were using.

I wish that I had you as my year 7 and 8 wood working teacher in high school!

Thank you very much Paul. I love the fact that you don't have The stop watch going on the screen to prove that you are the Usian Bolt of dove tailing. I also love that you are using tools well within our reach monetarily; I've tuned up a 105 year old stanley plane I got for 10$ and it works as well as the Lie Nielsen I once owned.

My goodness, if only my schooldays had been spent immersed in woodwork with a teacher like Paul, instead of trying to learn about the gross domestic product of Baffin Island, or running around freezing or baking trying to play football or rugby or rounders, all of which I loathed. Advice to youngsters at school: follow your passion, and don't be persuaded to learn something which bores you! This sort of pastime, complete with an extremely gifted teacher, is very close to being a magical experience. It's so absorbing that I disappear into it for ages, and then cant wait to get out to my garage and try to develop these wonderful skills. I'm so grateful to you Paul for providing such joy.

Sometimes, for the benefit of ourselves and mankind, we have to learn lessons we don't like. Furthermore, we might learn to love them. Who knows?

A master artisan at work. I'm always amazed how easy you make it look Paul. After cutting a few half blind dovetails by hand with good to fair results, I watched this a few times during my next attempt. The last joint I cut was my best ever, but still not as pristine as yours. Thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge with us.

That is the tightest fit, crispest edged dove tail I have ever seen. Well done

I know this is from 3yrs ago. But with the patience of Job you go through that piece of hardwood as if it were Balsawood. Watching you work is like watching my German grandfather building musical jewelry box. The care and attention to each grain is astounding! He also always told me " You have to listen to what the wood is telling you!" If you are reading this, I now understand what he was saying to me at 10. Thank you, for all you do!

It's sooo good that you also show us how to recover when things start to go wrong (at 27:30). Those are by far the best learning moments! Thank you for these amazing videos.

" I think the end result will be worth the fight". Term of the Month! Ambition defined. @ 29:55 Thank you, it was most certainly worth the fight. Exceptional result.

Man that is satisfying watching Paul tap that in place. Sure would have to be confident in your plane adjustment to scrub the finished face like that! awesome.

amazing muscle memory this is the first time i see a half-lap dovetail made so quick

haha so true !

*Superb, how could anyone not like or appreciate this video-tutorial.*

Always very inspiring.

Awesome tutorial, as always!

Such a perfect fit! Thank you for sharing Mr. Sellers! I can watch this for hours!

stunning craftsmanship also stunningly filmed very very clear all the way. thank you Paul.

I could watch you work all day long. Simply amazing.

always a pleasure to see a Master at work!

Mr. Sellers I am 57 years old and I’m starting a woodworking business. Many years ago I worked out of my garage doing small woodworking projects but nothing with dovetails. I have been watching your videos for sometime and you are very talented I hope to learn much more from you thank you for this video.

Wanted to thank you for everything. You taught me to take my time, relax, and use all five senses while honing my joinery. You sir are truly inspirational!!

Hands down BEST woodworking video on KZread, actually anywhere on the internet, Paul’s passion for woodworking is contagious

Ahhhh perfect way to unwind after a solid day of study. Speaking of perfect, perfect result!

this is so in depth it helped answer a lot of questions. Thank you for sharing your gift

Paul, you are amazing. It looks so easy but...! I am aware that your tools are so, so sharp but your ability to cut so square must be a mixture of pure talent and years of practice. I know the theory of sharpening and chiselling but my eye and hand seem to want to work quite independently - you just inspire me to keep trying. Thank you.

I learned a lot from this video. I now know what to do when the grain starts to force the chisel away from the knife wall. Great, save. You can't get that from a book.

I love this video...This is the heart of woodworking to me!

Thank you sir, I have learnt a good deal from watching you doing fine woodworking, the sharing of it makes you an even better teacher than you may think. great videos!

What can one say? Absolute perfection. Thank you for your inspiring all us wood butchers. One day maybe!

Thank you, Mr. Sellers, for sharing your craft with the world. I have learned so much from you. Greetings from Michigan USA.

That was just wonderful to watch, thankyou Paul.

You Sir, Are fantastic. Thank you for sharing your craft with your video's..

I always look forward to your videos....keep up the good work! I use them to teach my 11 year old grandson woodworking....you are a much more patient teacher than I am! Thank you for your excellence!

masterful as always, thanks Paul for the continued inspiration!

Good Morning from Virginia Beach Paul. Love your teachings. Your methods are enjoyable to watch.

I'll just re-comment to support your amazing craftsmanship.

Beautiful work! Patience equals precision.

Thank you Paul for another great video!

Thank you for another great lesson in working with wood 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wow! Gorgeous joint!

Absolutely incredible precision!

Top tips, great patience as always.

That joint is so pretty: it is like wooden jewelry.

Magnificent. I really didn't think it would fit but your finesse made it happen.

Thank you.

Wow does that look good. And you make it look so easy Thank you very much for posting

Amazing; super clean work and accurate hands.

I got your master class book (1&2) and it is just about as hard to put down as it is to pause your videos. mesmerizing is the only way to describe either. Well done!

Beautifully done.

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing skills! Thanks for this video. Super helpful!

Wow that looks beautiful!

Paul you are a truly gifted artist. It never gets old watching such talent and craftsmanship. I thought I could do this also but abandoned the idea by the time you said my wood had to be square. HAHA I can always dream. Thank you.

Amazing! What a craftsman. Only God could cut a more perfect dovetail! I thank God you followed your passion.

Your hand technique is flawless

A great video really helpful and easy and clear to understand thank you very much for it

Paul, I love watching your videos. I recently moved and am slowly setting up my new woodshop; I will be moving more towards hand tool use in the future. You're helping me go in that direction. I've learned a LOT from you. Cheers from Maryland, USA.

Jason Swearingen , I made the switch to hand tools in 2012 when I discovered Paul and have never looked back. Enjoy woodworking 10x more than when I was operating machinery. For me Paul's teachings and the true woodworking he's taught me have been a life-changer. Give it a solid chance and u may feel like u have discovered something entirely different. Stay close to Paul's teachings and I would bet it will give u fulfillment like U have never known. Good luck.

A master at the height of his craft. Always a pleasure.

Paul Sellers is the Bob Ross of wood workers

Beautiful. I'm just getting into woodworking, and dovetails is certainly a goal. I've always been the type to find a faster way to do things, but watching you definitely shows me that with joinery, patients is a virtue. Listen to the wood, sneak up on the line...very inspiring, thanks.

Excellent. Thank you.

Nice! The beauty of this method is that the small rebate on the inside hides any potential irregularities on the interior corner.

JC and the rebate makes marking the tails on the pin board muuuuch easier. Without the rebate it can slide and mess up ur layout. Def worth the extra minutes to put it in.

Hi there from Portugal, Nice info :D Obrigado(Thanks) Master P.Sellers and Team.

The last picture was pure art.

Perfection... as always ;-) You are a true Master!

He makes it look so easy...

Excellent wood work

Maestro, as always!!!

God, this is so calm and soothing! JESUS

I thoroughly enjoyed your inspiring video. I am just learning how to sharpen my chisels. Once I am done with that, I will attempt handcut dovetails. Thank you so much!

That’s how he got me, I only wanted to learn how to sharpen a chisel but in the next year I must have watched all of his videos and changed from a power tool carpenter to a hand tool woodworker.

Masterfully perfect, as usual. 😍👍

Im a recent subscriber, have been watching you lesson till 4 in the morning some nights. I get really excited with what your doing, and inspired. Im ex army, i also make Scottish small pipes. Ill be making a tool cabinet for my tools, studly ish. I was also watching you make a chisel handle. When i mount ferrels to my pipes i get the size just over sized, by about a thou then heat up the ferrule and push it on. Stayes on for life Just a thought You may be interested to know that when we built the Iron Bridge, up there in Telford. You can just make out the break from Joinery to metal, as when that was built we only knew about wood joints. The bridge is mainly joined with mortice and tennons and dove tails, and scal joints, amongst all sorts. Not very well know about really but its worth a trip just to see the wooden joinery techniques being applied to the iron.

beautiful joint !

Just amazing. Thanks.

Skill that is a joy to watch

Only in my dreams...lol..That would take me 3 hours, never look as good either..But on the bright side I'd have plenty of kindling for next winters wood stove start ups.

Hi Paul, Absolutely love the way you teach with such grace and a kind heart. I would love a video discussing the different joints, mortise and tenons, dowels.. what their strengths are, where to use them, are their specific joints to use when doing a table vs doing a chest of drawers.? thanks so much from South Africa

Обожаю такие серии! Спасибо!

beautiful...a true artisan

Bringin' back the Renaissance!

Thanks paul great video , you are the bestest :)

Good grief, that joint is gorgeous...

Très bon travail !! Great job !!

Thanks for the fine explanation and the Video frame rate bump.

I never see Paul use a skew chisel ever . I wonder why not .

Stunning

Excelente lo disfrute!!!!

Very nice indeed.

What a legend!

very nice!

Beautiful

Fantastic I am going to this

i love the way you describe the process of working wood. when i trained my old gaffer (he was old and now so am i lol) taught me to offset the sides a few mil lower than the front, then to plane that offset on the sides to set the reveal on the front in the bottom of the drawer space. he also taught me to make the width on the back of the drawer a few mil shorter than the front so it would slide easier with ever binding. your thoughts on that please.

Fabulous.

perfection

I enjoyed it too.

how beautiful :-)
