Best thing about Paul's builds: you don't need $15,000 worth of machinery to replicate them!

....*and* he's got videos showing you how to sharpen your plane blades, chisels and saw teeth. So you could literally go down the local secondhand market, set yourself up like that.

That's the difference between a master and a novice. You really want to cry, Google ancient Egyptian wood work. The. Realise they didn't even have proper saws 😂 From a personal prospective, I think we spend more time making excuse that we don't have this or that. Where as someone like Paul could come in with a Wilko's tools set and build a masterpiece.

Paul, you have changed my wood working forever! Last week I learned your planing strategy to true flat boards, this week I raced my father, me with a No4 smoother not even converted to a scrub plane, and a no7 jointer (i do not own a 5 1/2 but I am picking it up next week, a restored Stanley from the 50's), and I trued the board FASTER than he did doing all the passes over jointer and through thicknesser. Plus my board needs no further treatment, it is smooth as silk, he still needs to sand. Also, I did not contaminate the workshop with dust. You, Sir, are my hero. Thank You Paul!!! It is the first time I prove my old man wrong. Hand tools are not slow. And they are healthy to use. I felt great after all the work!!!

This is why even for just doing finish carpentry, knowing how to use hand tools is a must in my book.

@@aylbdrmadison1051 my friend, finish carpentry is an art. So many think it is a side line or something to not take seriously. I have so much respect for finish / trim carpenters. If this is your field, I hold much respect for you and your craft. And I agree, learning hand tools has so much improved my work even on table saw, band saw, jointer and planer, and taught me the limitations of machines. Above all, had work has helped keep my accuracy on point, and my shop and site work cleaner. It is earning me more work. I am deeply grateful to be keeping the art of hand tools alive as far as I can, it has been nothing but beneficial. My regards to You and Yours ❤️

Wooops ❤ Dead square ❤️ Half a tap❤ You have brightened my day👍 Oh and neat idea toooooo🎉

What a deceptively simple jig, and one that will be essential for me. Due to my wrist problems, I have a very hard time using my shooting board comfortably. A jig for end grain that lets me plane normally is exactly what I need. I'm going to build one and am grateful to Paul for coming up with it.

Enjoy.

Genius. It's nice to know there are still things to be discovered in woodworking.

That's just brilliant, Paul! Thanks a bunch for the tip and make! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Just so simple but so useful. I’ve never got on with shooting boards so I will be building this jig straight away. Thank you 🙏

Simple...and brilliant, what a useful contribution, thanks Paul Sellers!

I’ve been having a lot of trouble with tear out on end grain. I’m very new but very determined to learn. After a frustrating morning I came across this video. Prepping my wood for the jig now, very excited to try it!

Update, it came out great and I learned a good bit about making things square with my jointer so I could make this jig as perfect as I could. I also took good care to make sure the holes were drilled properly and not to let the wood shift. I used clamps to hold it together while drilling but still monitored for shift. Thanks Paul for helping solve a real issue I’ve been facing on my new woodworking journey.

Brilliant, thanks Paul. I've just finished watching and am immediately off to my garage workshop to build one

None of my planes have sides that are at a right angle to the sole. So I've had no success with shooting boards. So thanks for this. Definitely time to build that bench vice I keep putting off!

Same way were the old shooting boxes (boite a recaler, aux mines de Suède for example). Good and simple example from Mr Sellers. Older than us would have use some paper to protect it 😀

Great idea! Fifty plus years and you have done mankind a valuable service 😊

I built one of these and it works perfectly

Excellent! Thanks.

Beautifully made jig. This will definitely be helpful in my shop. Thanks Mr. Sellers.😊

Perfect video.! So satisfying to watch a true craftsman.

Simple, effective and within range plus ability for anyone. Even if for the initial squaring some expert or machine woodwork assistance is required. Superbly explained and shown as per usual.

There is nothing better than a KISS tool or jig that makes those small but all important details of any project easier and consistently to accomplish. This jig is as cheap as they come and can be made to suit your needs. If perchance you have a project that requires a number of pieces with the end grain cut to a different angle, this jig could be made to accommodate that.

I often watch Paul and learn things that are not the actual subject of video, just seeing how he goes about his work, how he adapts and adjusts, how he sees, feels and listens.

Very interesting and informative. Vertical shooting board. Best part isfull build instructions and use in practice instructions! Honestly fant get any better than this. Thank you mr Paul.😊 Blessings y'all's way now Crawford out 🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼‍♂️.

Thanks @paul for this great idea. I already build your version of shooting board, which I love and works very well. But being a beginner, it sometimes takes time for me using that and does make my hands sore if I have multiple boards to square. I made this new jig and absolutely love it! The only difference is that I laminated 2 3/4" plywood because I needed to square thicker stock. It worked perfectly but the jig became a bit heavy for me to hold and clamp. So,I quickly made another one that still used 2 laminated plywood but I used slightly less wide stock and just kept this one right handed(didn't add the left side 2x4 cross member). This made the jig light and I could still square thicker stock. The message here is that you have given such an awesome but simple idea that I can quickly make 2-3 different versions of this jig for my different needs! Absolutely awesome! Thank you again paul!!!

My neighbor is a southern US BBQ fanatic and has a signed picture of a famous BBQ judge in his man cave. I would hang a picture of Paul in my house/shop!

Beautiful! So much achieved with so little effort. That's my definition of beautiful. A concentrate of ingenuity.

A true artison. Always refining what is made. Thankyou Mr Sellers.

Your work and talent never fails to amaze me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge .

I'll show you how to make it. First. We draw it up in CAD. Then we load it up into our CNC machine..... We love you Paul. Thank you for the years of inspiration and encouragement

Thanks for sharing this great idea

Brilliant Paul

Clever, no reason that other angles couldn’t be achieved, like a sine table, few strategic holes and pegs and away to go, I’m making one, thank you Paul

This is what I really need and will make it today. I have been using shooting boards for decades and never really liked them. Thanks for posting Paul.

That's just awesome help! Thanks!!

New subscriber here. I like how your hands remember to not leave fingerprints on visible surfaces. Someone whose hands do that automatically without thinking (even on just a jig) shows me they've been a good woodworker for a very long time.

What I like is being shown at the start what the device does, so I can see if it is off use to me. Too many videos go through a long build and you only know what it is at the end

AWESOME!!! What a great idea. Thanks Paul

Thank you for posting full builds. It is very useful, even for simple projects like this. Also, I did not know you can adjust a piece that has been screwed twice with a simple mallet tap.

That's one good reason to not glue a jig. It's easy to reset to square, parallel, and etc.

The wood fibres will compress against the screw allowing the pieces / screws to move / twist very slightly when you tap with the mallet, especially when the threads of the screws are in softwood.

This tool works wonderfully well. Thank you very much to Paul Sellers. I am a beginner in woodworking. I made myself a shooting board, but I never had good results with it. With this new tool, I get dead square angles in a breeze.👍👍

That's a clever jig. Thanks Paul. I will make one for sure.

Looking forward to building this one. Simpler and much more compact than my shooting board, the vice will hold the pieces better than I can by hand, plus I don't have to clear the top of my bench of tools that would have been in the way. May also save people buying a low angle plane. Win, win, win, win, win tool. Congratulations, Paul, very well done.

Thank you, Paul! I Just read your article about it a few weeks ago and I'm happy to see you building it now.

Thanks Paul! Perfect timing on this video! Making one today!.

Thank you for all your time and effort. I like it !

thank you!

Excellent, so simple, but so effective!

Beautiful , Paul. The courage of simplicity. Many thanks.

Thank you for sharing this design! I haven't managed to get the hang of my shooting board, sometimes it is a struggle to get any shaving at all. I often give up and plane in my vise, though that approach can give inaccurate results, plus there's no support to prevent blowing out fibres on the edge. This jig solves both problems, and should be a worthwhile build for sure.

I shall definitely be making one of these!

Hi Paul, I'm new to woodwork and was struggling to get the shooting board method working for me. I built myself one of these jigs and now find it very easy to get square end grain! Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing. I'm a fan of this sort of jig. Sure there is a skill to be able to do it freehand, but this method is more consistent and much faster.

Genius, thanks Paul for yet another simple and effective solution to a common problem - and this is why you set the vice in front of the apron so you can place items in the vice more accurately ! As always this is far more than instruction on making a simple jig, every time I watch you I pick up some useful technique that improves my woodworking ! I love the aside - "That was a bit heavy, wasn't it !"

Hoo this is a clever simple jig! I've always hard time planning end grain. Thanks!

The master keeps delivering wisdom!

When I watch your videos Paul the music always reminds me of John Wilson fishing I watched as a kid,Great video 👍🏻

Quite timely as I am making small keepsake boxes for my grandkids. This will help me for sure. 👍🏻

Thank you Paul. I would love to take a course from you. You're a gem. Cheers!

Wow, may we say vertical shooting board?😂😂😂 Thanks for the idea!

Thank you sir!!!

Great idea Paul! This is gonna be useful to me very soon, thanks a lot

I've a bunch of end grain to square up on my current project. I'll be making one of these tomorrow. Great and simple idea. Thanks, Paul!

Perfect idea, perfect jig, perfect job, perfect P. Sellers ❤, perfect...

I'm going to make one of these they look brilliant, much prefer working in the vise than on a board

Thank you for another great idea. It seems I still struggle with straight and true, but making this jig seems like just the thing for practicing that topic.

Great jig, Paul! Thanks for all your cool vids.

Brilliant! I'm going to make one of these for my workshop at school next week, thanks Paul!

Genius Mr Sellers. Thank you sir

Love this Paul!

Brilliant, on my way to make mine now!!

Such wonderful simplicity. Thank you so much.

Marvelous idea!

Brilliant. Thankyou for sharing

Great gig, many thanks!

Thank you, Paul! You give so much knowledge, and joy! I thought before I was accurate, but You've learned me take my time and everything becomes almost perfect now. My latest project was a little table which got new vener of ash. //Mikael Johansso

Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks again, Paul❤

Brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing!

I am impressed by your ingenuity!

Just like all the best ideas, it's so simple.

This is a truly good idea! Thank you.

Excellent as usual.

Thanks Paul! This is so helpful!

Very useful appliance. Thanks, Paul.

I work more comfortably and accurately when holding the plane horizontally, instead of vertically (like on a shooting board). I built your jig and got very good results from it, everything ends up dead square on both axis. Often, simple ideas are best. Thank you!

Thank you Paul.

Wow, good idea!

Love it!😊

Great idea thanks mate

Thanks Paul.

Great! Thanks.

Very cool, all i need is one of those vice's 😊

Excellent

good idea, thanks

Very nice

thank you

I’ve got to make me one of these jigs. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the video. You drill with mechanical speed 1 (speed to screw), it would go better and faster by setting speed 2 to drill.
