  5. Wall Clock ala Paul Sellers

    Paul Sellers has a complete video tutorial on YouTube on Building a Wall Clock and I have been wanting to do this project for years. I finally found the time and gumption to take it on. Lots of fun, 90% (for me) all hand tool work. Very satisfying.
  6. wall clock

    This is a Paul Sellers wall clock project (free video). If you build it his way (which I did) you have to hit your marks. I missed a few, made a second top plate, and finished it off. I also cheated a little using a hollow to finish the bull nose, a scratch stock for the beading, and raised the...
  7. Paul Sellers Workbench

    I've been wanting to build a workbench for some time and this year I decided life is short, build your bench. It is based on the Paul Sellers design with some small modifications. Most obviously, it has two different-sized laminated tops. This seemed to me like a good way to have a larger...

    This is a curly maple rocking chair made with hand tool methods.
  9. Dovetail Cross

    Recently I've been doing dovetail work (tool tray for my workbench), and it's the reason I decided that I needed some dovetail marking gizmo. Quick googling gave me a favorite, Paul Sellers' dovetail gauge: simple design, quick to build, easy to tune and true: But. It does not allow to mark...
  10. Workbench ala Paul Sellers

  12. Wooden Leather Strop Set - Paul Sellers' Sharpening Technique

    To try out Paul Sellers' sharpening technique, I cut a scrap MDF and glued a leather to it. A block was screwed to it for use with the vise. Paul's freehand approach produces a convex bevel on the blade but its edge so honed is as sharp as any edge that you can get with a jig. Could you tell...
  13. Saw Sharpening Vise

    I've been learning to sharpening my handsaws by holding them between a couple of scraps in my bench face vise but found that it was uncomfortably low and didn't hold the blades tightly enough . When I saw an old-style wooden saw vise on Paul Sellers' blog, I decided to copy it. While mine isn't...
  14. Finished my 2x6 Paul Sellers Workbench

    Wow what a rewarding project. I had a week off work to work on it as often as I could physically handle. It ended up taking 2 weeks. Details:Spent $56 on the 2×6s from the store. $8 on the Danish oil. $150 on Jorgensen 41012. I splurged on the vise but I love it. Top is 5" thick. I...
  15. Paul Sellers Frame Saw

    I have been watching all of Paul Sellers videos (love that guy) and came across his frame saw video and decided it would be a fun project for myself () The saw is made from scraps of oak and a Nobex miter box saw blade (24tpi) I will definitely be ordering a coarser blade as the 24 tpi is way...
  16. Bathroom Projects (Floating Shelves and Medicine Cabinet)

    I renovated my bathroom and I took the opportunity to make a couple custom fixtures for it. Floating Shelves: Since the studs were in non-ideal areas (and I wasn't about to attach them to drywall alone), I decided to attach the shelves to pieces of plywood that span the studs, and attach those...
  17. New Mallet

    This is a mallet recently finished based on the Paul Sellers mallet videos. I have been wanting to build this for a while now and found a piece of white oak that was perfect for this. Works great too!
  18. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I am currently looking into buying my first ever dust collector. A have a home shop with a few tools where I am hoping to run pipe to items such as a table saw, band saw, and a couple other things. Only one tool with probably ever be used at a time. I currently do not have 220 or an easy way...
  19. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hi Everyone I have been at it for about 3 years now, 2010 being my most productive and progressive so far. I have mortised my hinges from the start with few exceptions, and done them without any jig. I use a dremel with a router base attachment, scribe out the hinge lines with a utility...
  20. Focus on the Workspace
    Your workbench, of course. So many posts of benches get comments that include 'too nice to use,' or 'I wouldn't have the heart to pound on that bench.' Which got me to thinking (always dangerous), what's the roughest kind of thing you do on your bench? Use it when chainsawing? Brazing and...
