The joinery is amazing, Paul. Thank you for making it less scary for we mere mortals! 😊

Mr. Sellers - how are you not knighted yet? Your love for woodworking, and the great detail in teaching has made woodworking such an important part of my own life. I appreciate everything you do for us.

knighted? what being a knight has anything to do with it? Paul is a great woodworker, a master at his craft. But a Knight?

The idea in this presentation everyone is to kick start thinking differently and then working differently.

I think this will change the way I do mortise tenons from here on, could I respectfully ask if I could make the tenon length say 9/16th longer, then cut it off to finish size after the router work, rather than route the last 1/2 inch ?

I have been using guides for a while now for perpendicular cuts. I learned it from Charles Neil. He showed how he drilled and parried Mortise before he was able to afford a mortise machine. I have done it that way too. I now own a bench top mortise machine but I will definitely try this method because sometimes the setup time might just be longer than the actual time used to cut a mortise by hand.

Yes, that is fine, but in my work, and in an upcoming project on masterclasses.com I add enough to the tenon length of the first tenon top make my gauge from. I also always cut two tenons at once so the length of tenons at say 1 1/2" becomes three inches between shoulder lines plus a kerf width and `i get two tenons at once.

The idea of doing 2 two tenons as a single piece and then cutting it in half just blew my mind... :) Thanks for all the amazing work you and your team do on this channel; you're an amazing teacher!

I'm just starting out. The end of this video is why I can't get enough of Paul Sellers. "And it's all yours. You go ahead."

Thanks Paul, for all the fantastic videos and sharing of techniques and knowledge. I have reduced my machines to just a bandsaw as hand tool woodworking is so enjoyable.

Thank you for the tip and for your kind comment!

“I’ll do this one while I’m in the zone”. Legend.

every damn time I watch one of your instructional videos I learn 100 new things. Blown away, again.

Great tutorial as usual, Paul. I like to make the tenon half an inch longer than finished size. That way you can just cut off the end router support rather than muck about getting down to thickness.

Beautifully planed & executed. Elegant in its simplicity! A bow to thank the Master.

Tis a thing of beauty! Sat here programming for a living, with this on in the background... I love it!!

Wonderful stuff. Never ever tire of watching Paul..

It's so wonderful to see this amount enthusiasm even after so many years. Thank you for the inspiration and advice, Mr. Sellers.

Amazing as always, Paul! Thank you for passing on techniques such as this with such dedication to simplicity and quality. Cheers from Brazil.

It's hypnotic to watch Paul work the wood. Thank you for sharing.

You sir, are a world heritage treasure! Thanks for all you do! And thanks to your son and team of videographers for the outstanding footage!

Great tutorial Paul, thanks mate.

Bloody brilliant, reminds me of one of my lecturers who was another master of his craft, I felt like I was back at college learning brickwork for a while. thanks Paul.

I have only recently discovered these posts by Paul Sellers. Just an absolute pleasure to watch and learn.

MR. Sellers.....you are the man! Thanks for all you do for use weekend woodworkers.

Thank you Paul, that was unquestionably the most valuable and impressive example of ingenuity and skill that I have ever seen . The longest video I have ever watched , and shall watch again. You have given all of us out 'ere something priceless

I've watched this several times and it is solid gold. Thanks Paul.

That’s brilliant how simple and self-ensuring the method is.

Thank you for sharing this. You have a true teacher's approach. Finding a way to make your students more successful; what a great way to teach!

The right tools for the job and the right attitude all combined with the skill of a master. A joy to watch. Thanks a lot.

Your tutorials are so great. I think you explain and demonstrate whatever method you are teaching better than anyone else. I have yet to make a mortise and tenon joint and I will definitely use your method. You, sir, are brilliant!

Thank you Paul for another wonderfully instructive technique and presentation!

Paul, you've improved my woodworking abilities 100%! Thanks for all your instructions and keep up the good work.

Thanks Paul as always. A great gift to a novice like me. I have a loose fitting tenon that im trying to fix. Im going to start again with this method. Thank you sir!

Love it.

Thank you Paul for your generous heart, sharing your wisdom with the new generations. God bless you.

Paul, what a gift you have given woodworkers with this technique! THANK YOU.

You're such a legend for sharing these techniques, Paul. It's not what you earn that makes a man, it's what you give. Super generous. Merci.

Thank you Paul for sharing your method of precise mortise and tenon joinery - well done.

A really intelligent way to make sure the mortise is at the perfect position and has the right dimensions. Thank you Paul!

Brilliant !! you are a accomplished master of woodworking, my respect to you sir and thank you for teaching all this great techniques.

Mate that's fantastic Paul. Thanks heaps for putting in the time to teach!

Thank you so much for the great detail you always provide. It is a joy to watch such perfection.

Focused thought on how to make the blades go where we want is what makes this craft so fascinating. Using two router planes so the setting of the finish work makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and being so inspiring.

Paul you are a magician! I enjoy your videos immensely. Thank you so much.

Paul, I have been watching your videos for some time now and have learned much from watching your work patterns. Thank you for what you do! I just completed a desk for my daughter designed to fit her apartment. Completely electricity-free! From sizing the raw lumber to the dovetailed cabinet to the mortices and tenons...all hand done! Thanks, Paul!

as a retired furniture maker who just loves youtube for different new ideas, i can honestly say using the the router to mark the edges is brilliance.

I watched and now I am both excited and relaxed! Wonderful! Thanks!

This is a superb method for the people like me I can never make tenon or mortise straight ever I will definitely try this method thanks for sharing this video

This is great, fantastic method for those us that don't get enough woodworking practise to learn this joint through and through. Many thanks Paul

Thanks very much. I will use it for the rest of my woodworking life, as I have many things you have taught. Thanks for sharing your talents.

It’s very impressive that you can show a new method in 2017 for a very old joinery technique. Your craft is superb, keep up the good work.

Excellent Paul. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Exquisite craftmanship. A wonderful lesson in joinery.

Mr Seller is the best online teacher i ever seen.. So patient, gentle and very clever 👍👍 thankyou verymuch Sir 🙏

I love the technique. As always, I feel like I can conquer the world of woodworking after watching your videos.

I've tried it, and I love it! I've struggled with mortise and tenons, and this method made them so much better. Still not perfect, but with some practice I think I'll have it. Thanks for sharing!

wow Paul your so very very generous to the hand tool woodworkers may I on behalf of all of us say a very very big thank you . you inspire me to get in the workshop and its fantastic for being disabled it get me exercise and mental stimulation . pete

Simply beautiful work. Looking forward to trying this on my first workbench!

I never got the chance to spend time with my grandpas before they passed away. I wish I could have learned from them the same way I'm learning from you. Thanks gramps!

Another great tutorial, and with perfect timing as I have just started making a console table and will try this technique on the aprons and legs. Thanks.

Love wood working!..Thank you for the great videos! It is great to feel the passion you've had for this wonderful trade!

Mr. Sellers, thank you very much for this and all the other teaching videos you have in your channel. They are amazing. Although I have power tools, I reaIy enjoy working with hand tools. Take longer but the joy is incredible. I have always love woodworking and now that I´m retired I builded a shop in my farm to enjoy what I love more; Family, life in the farm and woodworking. My best regards to you from Panamá Sir.

EXCELLENT!!! and...... BRILLIANT!!!!! Thank you Mr. Sellers!

Absolutely amazing, thanks Paul for another great lesson!

Beautifully done. SO much more pride in workmanship than I attain with my electrical toys. I wish I wasn't under such a time crunch to get so much done so I could slow it down and feel the shaping of the wood under my own power. I will make my living room furniture this way, no excuses.

Mr. Sellers, you are a genius! You have opened the door for me to a world of working wood "unplugged". I have two of your great books ( "Essential Woodworking Hand Tools" and "Working Wood") and the DVD set "Using and Sharpening Essential Woodworking Hand Tools". I cannot thank you enough.

Thank you Oh so much Mister Sellers. You've actually managed to make me think I might succeed in doing this !

A joy too watch thank you.

Great methode Paul, really nice! Can't wait to give it a try. Thank you for sharing this with us!

When I grow up... I'll still want to be like you... Making perfection look easy! Thanks a lot from very confined northern Lower Canada

Great video Paul, love your simple and precise method.

Thank You ! This is such an innovative method for making a beautiful mortise and tenon joint.

this is GREAT +Paul Sellers I've been struggling with accurate through M/T joints. I think this may be the ticket to taking my joinery to the next level. Thanks for the video.

Paul, you are my favorite. Thank you for your help!

Outstanding Paul, clear and concise, many thanks.

Such a great learning experience and a joy to watch.

Very good work. I am at an age where the noise of industry can be left at the job site. The quiet chisel and plane brings back the joy in woodworking classic style.

I have lost count of how many times I have watched this video, and still it is always a pleasure. Thank's again Paul.

That is brilliant Dr. Paul, can’t wait to do it!

"and it's all yours, go ahead and practice it, and you will have tenon making down for the rest of your life" this is what i love about these videos. There is a tradition of master craftsmen being closemouthed and secretive, but here one of the best just wishes to pass on the craft to those who care to learn. Thank . you.

Nothing against other contributors, but I have learned so much more from you. Thank you so much for offering these videos to everyone. Thank you again for you time and expertise.

Brilliant! The most accurate work is done without a single measurement.

Paul If I could give you a thousand thumbs up, I would. This is probably the best ever method for a tenon and mortise fitting that I've ever seen. Thanks for this video, I'll treasure it in my mind.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Relaxing to watch as well as educational.

Obrigado Paul!! Excelente vídeo explicativo!! Parabéns pelos vídeos!!

I really enjoy your videos. You are a true craftsman and a wonderful teacher

You are the best! I am learning a lot with you. Thanks from Brazil.

Simply great. Old school. Thank You.

Brilliant~! Both you and Rob Cosman have completely changed my outlook on hand-tool woodworking. For years, my thoughts were that the hand-tool side was for doing the fine-tuning part of the job, not the "heavy work". I've learned that I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Thank you for the instructional video~!

Brilliant & now I can't wait to try a Mortise & Tenon my self

Nicely done. Thank you for this neat little gift.

Your instructional videos are inspiring, hopefully the younger generation will begin taking the trade up and have a lifelong occupation with their hands in lieu of college. We need more craftsman. Thanks Paul for you Lifetime of excellence.

Maestro Sellers, muchas gracias por compartir su enseñanza con el mundo entero, Dios le bendiga siempre!! :D

Great tutorial. Thank you for showing how it’s done!

I worked out the same technique for the tenons some years back but I'm going to have to look into the mortise technique. Thanks for the video.

I love your method. This is so good. Yes it is time to practice. Thank you Paul.

When I started wood working as a kid, my dad told me wood working is using common sense to work things out, this method proves he was right, Great video. And I've been woodworking for 20 years and still learning from videos like this, it's what it's all about.👍

That is a great tip to use a tenon as a guide for the mortise! The idea that practice is needed is not intuitive. Often we take initial failure as inability instead of enjoying the journey to becoming adequate and then eventually consider ourselves adept. Bravo!

Wonderful work and a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

If ever a woodworking tutorial deserved a billion views, this is the one.

Just tried this method and I love it. I only did one test joint, but I can definitely see how having the jig would lead to much more consistent joints. Thanks!

Great informative video -,the forgotten power of hand tools in the right hands!

Wow! You have made thee seemingly Impossible, Simple!! Wonderful video, thanks very much.
