My takehome message from this and most other of your videos, is how critical it is to have properly sharpened and setup tools.

This will probably sound mad- I've learned so much from watching Paul's demonstrations and teaching techniques however, I really enjoy re-watching videos I've watched previously as I find him so calming and peaceful. I can simply watch video after video. Combined with the projects, its great for the mental health also. Thanks Paul!

Thanks Paul. Very fun project. I like how you mention using all your senses and smelling the beech. Last night I worked later than normal (making your keepsake box actually). I am making it out of Spanish cedar and I was hand planing the top and bottom to width. I liked how easy the Spanish cedar is to work with hand tools. I also was delighted by its smell. A simple but real pleasure I experienced last night. The keepsake box is a Christmas gift for my daughter and a second one will be made of genuine mahogany for my wife. Making the Christmas gifts so early in the year is taking all the pressure off of getting it done. Seeing this video inspires me to dig through my cherry cutoffs and make some spatulas, etc for my wife as additional Christmas gifts. Wife and I agreed that this year for each other only hand made gifts.

I love the music! I sometimes get drawn away from the video as the outside world creeps in, but do not need to pause the video because the music is a nice sound track to my day. If course I come back to finish the video.

a video to be watched without haste, tasting every word of teachings. Thank you so much

Other woodworking youtubers: here's how to make a simple gift with $20,000 worth of power tools and a CNC macine. Paul Sellers: If you don't have a spoke shave you can use the lid off a tin can like I have here. ❤ thank you for sharing your expertise and passion

Such a satisfying endeavor simply made and simply used.

This is perfect timing. I just made a spatula this last weekend. Now I can learn how to improve on the next one, thanks Paul!

Paul. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. You are a fabulous teacher and I love watching any of your videos. I am not a master craftsman like you and yet you encourage us to get involved with the wood. Woodworking is mental therapy and you know this - which is why you likely strive to share this with us. Thank you. I might even tackle the work working bench.....

Always a pleasure to watch your instructive videos, it shows a true passion for working with wood. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was in high school, who knows what may have changed in my life, certainly working with wood, would have occurred in my youth, as opposed to late adulthood.

I always wondered about the hole. After some reading I discovered that a 7/8 inch hole measures enough dry spaghetti for one person. 1 1/8 inch measures enough for two. I love this shape. Thank you.

It's also helpful when mixing liquids, such as sourdough starter: similar logic to a wire whisk, though obviously fewer holes. Each hole almost doubles the amount of mixing per stroke, though this factor becomes less with increasing viscosity as the liquid doesn't pass as freely through a narrow opening.

Neither Uncle Bobby’s nor Joel’s theory explains the whole in this spatula: it’s not a spaghetti spatula, and it’s not for mixing liquids, either.

@@mm9773 :: both theories are sound so I’ll just go on imagining that the ‘spatula’ stirs/mixes spaghetti sauce well….

It always strikes me how much more precise Mr Sellers' freehand lines are compared to any line I draw, regardless of the implements I might use to help me.

Paul, thank you for all your videos, each one is an education and I never fail to gain tips and information, absolutely invaluable. Hope you keep going with these, they are a precious resource for learning. 👍👍

Thank you Paul for this video. Always enjoy them and find myself rewatching them when I start the many projects you show.

I do a lot of woodworking...and I'm beyond these basic skills but I still enjoy watching Paul Sellers not matter what he makes. There is always something to learn and take away from watching his techniques and ideas. I know a lot of people who if I showed them this video would say...why not just go to the Dollar Store and buy one for $2.00? Ugh...they just don't get it. The process of making something for yourself or others is extremely rewarding.

What a lovely little project! I still use the spoon I made after your outdoor woodworking video years ago and it's my favorite utensil by far. This sounds like a nice weekend task. Thanks!

And putting the bevel shown at 10:00 on the other side makes a left handed variant!

You teach as if we are there with you. Thanks master!

Thanks! I’ll have to give this a try!

Functional project with actual use. Beautiful

You Sir are the Master and such a Great teacher. Thanks for all you do for teaching us.

Another delightful video, thank you Paul!

Loved the tip on the spokeshave blade setting. Thanks!

Really beautiful work, Paul! 😃 As soon as I make my vise I'm going to try it out! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

You are good Paul

Impresive and simple, thanks.

Beautiful video. I love watching you work. I am going to make my wife a set of wooden utensils out of cherry.

Beautiful work as always Paul

Fantastic 👌🏼

Enjoyed that..

Beautiful...

I like that idea on creating a frog for for the spoke shave to have a fighter cut

A spatula of this quality would cost a small fortune at Spatula City.

i remember the first thing i made from wood, it was a toy machine gun when i was around 6/7 years old. It was just a piece of 10mmx100mm wood with 2 notches for a front and back handle with tape around both handles

nice

It’s so refreshing to see someone do this without using thousands of pounds worth of power tools and machines

12:51 *Holy cow* - drawing a pencil line like this [I spot no difference to a ruler line] clearly takes *some* experience.

Great little project!

In the hotter climates like here in Australia it may be a btter idea to use a food grade mineral oil and *not* cooking oil to finish off the spatula, spoons and cutting board. This because it is possible for the cooking oil to go rancid which has a tendency to spoil youf day.

An heirloom tool in under 30 minutes. ☺️

Jesus how sharp are you damn chisels lol. I struggle a lot because it feels like my chisels are just crushing the wood, not cutting it :(. They are not expensive chisels mind you, so perhaps I just need to sharpen them every 15-20 minutes.

Cooking oils tend to go rancid when they oxidize. A better oil would be walnut oil. It doesn't oxidize. An alternate oil is straight mineral oil from the Chemists - drug store on this side of the pond. Thanks for the video. Jon

Cooking oil is just fine - based on decades of first hand experience.

There's just not enough oil on something like this for it going rancid to be of a big concern so long as its kept clean.

As others have mentioned, mineral oil (sold in drug stores as a laxative) is also good safe and doesn't go rancid over time. I find that heating the wood between applications also helps open any pores in the wood and it lasts longer without needing to be reapplied.

You get vegetable oils and animal fats on wooden spatulas, cutting boards etc every time you use them, and you will not get it off, and don’t need to. Because it’s wood 🙂

Zack, you earn 2,95$

It is cheaper to buy at IKEA.

From a user's point of view, the blade on this spatula is far too thick. It would have been greatly improved if you had used a plane to thin it down to ~1/4". The shape is nice, and the handle would be comfortable for either working with thick doughs or for people that have trouble with their hands.

a spatular !!! it's more like a priest, it would kill a trout in one hit.
