Door Making Episode 1 | Paul Sellers

[@brownunderground]

Paul, I love your work. As a rough carpenter learning to do joinery for the first time, I have watched and rewatched your videos. You’ve given me the understanding to get a good result and then, in my second try, an even better result. Your little tricks are so valuable.

[@jlinkels]

Paul, today I assembled two French doors of 200 x 40 cm each, with a top, middle and bottom rail. Built according to your lessons, including the use of the mortise jig. They are dead flat. No twist. That is awesome.

[@Thom4123]

Whenever I see a message of a new video of yours I stop and have a seat in the shop to absorb all I can. I really enjoy how you show us different ways to perform a tasks and give us the tips from your experience on that task. I find myself leaning more and more towards the hand tool methods nowadays and leaving my power tools for the bull or big stuff. It's so peaceful using my hand tools.

[@PopsKustojo]

Thom spillane I agree. I have a question, might sound a bit dumb but I’m new to using old ways hand tools. So what’s the name of that tool that Paul uses to “plane” the grooves. And where can I buy them?

[@trevorbaugh1335]

Mr. Sellers you really are energetic and enthusiastic about your craft! Always a joy watching you work, thank you for creating these videos.

[@timb.6269]

Remarkable. When I took a music lesson recently, my instructor insisted I never play a single sloppy note as a necessary foundation for making music. I see the parallel here, Paul. Fine woodworking isn't happenstance, but rather attention to the smallest details, and insistence on uncompromising quality at each step. Inspirational on many levels. Thanks.

[@bighands69]

Really good foundation can allow people to build a really good house. The same applies to mathematics, finance, woodwork, painting and so on. If kids at school are covering far too much mathematics and when they leave they simply have no foundation.

[@mikelownsbro2876]

Paul, i never comment on videos but felt a obliged. I absolutely love your videos, they help me immensely. In my spare time, they are all I watch. Can I just say thank you. I’d love to be your apprentice!! I spend all day engineering aircraft and spend all evening woodworking. You have made me an avid woodworker! I love it! You also remind me of my grandad, he was an old school engineer from NW UK.

[@nazarrudinbushrah132]

I love all your work sir. You have made me realised that everyone can make a cabinet, workbench and other furniture without using power tool like table saw, milter saw, sander, nailer gun and other expensive power tools.

[@BDM_PT]

Hi there from Portugal, Another nice video, Obrigado(Thanks) Master P.Sellers

[@PopsKustojo]

“This is what’s it’s all about, trying to make woodworking real for everybody.” That very nice. They don’t make passionate and humble teachers and mentors like you these days. But how’d you know? I sneezed somewhere halfway while watching this and you said, “bless you!”. Did you all see that?

[@js8039]

You will not find this information anywhere else. You'll find shortcuts, comprimises and etc. You won't find the real world stuff such as this. I have great respect for Paul and his whole team for taking the time to do this and all the other videos. I would love to see how entry doors are made, also something of which there is no information to be found.

[@Cfbcreations]

I love it! Paul, you have done an excellent job of making woodworking real for everybody! Thank you for all the videos you have made throughout the years.

[@siestatime4638]

Several handy tips in this video, not the least of which is "Don't spill your coffee." 8-)

[@maheendrannair9557]

You are really Genius.Watching your videos are absolutely informative. Really excellent.

[@simeonbanner6204]

I'm glad Paul mentioned the wood he's using. I often find the different woods so confusing. There's probably not so many for furniture but when I ask at the local DIY place they often seem confused or unsure or say they haven't heard of certain woods I've seen mentioned for wood working. For example a wood called UTILE...

[@Paul.Sellers]

I have used utile often enough to say I know its idiosyncrasies.

[@Puukko79]

of all the channels this is my favourite. soaking in your teaching. so good. thanks Paul

[@orbepa]

I believe Mr Sellers workshop (minus the camera and lighting) is what workshops would have looked like 80+ years ago. There could be a massive EMP blast above the UK and Mr Sellers would still be able to continue his craft - allbeit be sunlight !

[@martinhadley2692]

I wish the Americans watched this man, hardly a power tool in sight, just good, old fashioned skill 👍

[@dennishanes2165]

I’m American. Love watching Mr. Sellers at work. 😊

[@agrt5689]

thanks for taking the time and effort for sharing this. Thank you very much mr. Sellers! I've started my yachtinteriorbuilder-aprenticeship and very glad to be in the trade.

[@jackofalltradesmasterofnon8069]

Watched this 3 times now love every bit

[@gunnarbech]

"Once you're in the groove, you're good to go"! Lovely video, thank you.

[@grosrobot2490]

Wow ! You are an incredible teacher ! i'm saving for your book ! Can't wait to read it !

[@grosrobot2490]

Good job to your video crew too !

[@danielmiskoidea]

Your channel is a very nice place to visit. Thank you.

[@bobs344]

Paul sellers "making it real" and keeping it real!

[@SauronsEye]

Exceptionally good teaching video. Too many videos cut out mistakes. Not that I see any here. Just Paul explaining how to avoid mistakes. For example, Paul showing that, especially with hand tool techniques you, "sneak", up on the final dimensions to take account of any errors all humans make. For example, leaving an overhang on the long edges of the door for protection and to make it easier to get to correct dimensions for the final door. I'm in my early 50's and I still haven't been able to make such awesomely close joints as I see Paul doing in all of his videos but this is clearly due to Paul's extensive experience and patience that he has under that ever expanding belt of his....lol. Wood filler and paint are my life long friends that hide my lack of skill.

[@MikkosFree]

Dear Mr. Sellers, I come to you with a humble request. Please do a video on Coco Lumber and it's uses. I have long been waiting for someone with real woodworking experience to study and come up with new uses for coco lumber, other than scaffolding which is practically what it is only used for today. Thank you sir.

[@CROBERTSONFILM]

If I'm ever struggling to sleep I'll stick a Paul sellers episode on. Love all the info and video but makes me sleepy.

[@thecordlesscarpenter7956]

loved every minute Paul, thank you!

[@blackfender100]

Excellent Paul thank you as always.

[@jackofalltradesmasterofnon8069]

Wow watched this 3 times now

[@Neffers_UK]

Awesome so far (watched ha;f way through - got stuff to do), thanks for making these videos Mr. Sellers.

[@slantsix6344]

Thanks for posting this, great information.

[@Paul.Sellers]

Thank you.

[@desarrollojava]

I use to check after using winding sticks, over a glass surface.

[@antonvierthaler]

Thank you so very much! Again, and over again.

[@artesanodelalma4280]

Admiro muchismo su trabajo señor Sellers...no entiendo su idioma pero lo intento...merece la pena ver con que destreza utiliza las herramientas..muchas gracias y un abrazo desde Fuengirola.

[@Kikilang60]

More than thanks, I've wanted to make swinging windows.

[@jimcooney9019]

Thank you Paul handy tips in this video,

[@lesjones7617]

You do make it look easy, Thank its Riley interesting.

[@danthechippie4439]

Hi Peter. I’m really enjoying this video series on hand made wooden doors. I was amazed when you were showing how to chisel the mortise parallel to the face using your guide with brass face. I never seen this approach before and I wondered how you came across them. Are they something you made yourself or did you purchase them? If you purchased them perhaps you could please let me know where you got them? Cheers Dan

[@thecordlesscarpenter7956]

Groovy video Paul 😉

[@jorgefernandez8774]

maravillosa enseñanza de lo que es la vieja escuela de carpinteria gracias por ello jorge de argentina

[@TheInkster78]

Paul, I'm looking to make a couple of internal doors and glaze them. So basically just make frames similar to what you have in this video. Just wanted to ask, although internal house doors aren't exactly furniture, would you follow a similar process?? Obviously I've never made a door before and i very much appreciate your videos, not to mention learn a great deal from them so thanks a lot. and thanks in advance for the reply!

[@Paul.Sellers]

All just the same.

[@danny26barrow]

Paul Sellers Paul Sellers hi how u doin I just wondering if u can email me ur chisels that u used are they narex? N what tenon saw would u recommend first time dovetailing thanks my email address is.... [e-mail] Work shop heaven I find expensive lol cheers.. Hope u do email back I'm goin to try and build bench u built lol cheers.

[@deemdoubleu]

Stupid question: If there is twist and you are taking off material, how do you ensure that you don't spoil your final dimensional accuracy? And if there is no twist, wouldn't you need to take off any material added in order to allow removal of twist? Thanks, great video as is now expected.

[@Daniel4Style]

@paulsellers, is it worth it to get a Stanley #45? Instead of getting different individual planes?

[@cdepuy1727]

In the few instances I have made doors or face frames like you are showing, I assemble them so the groove or dado shows on the sides instead of the top and bottom. I think it looks good to show a well fitted tenon. Is this really a matter of choice or is there a standard that the masses prefer?

[@wilypython1828]

Excellent! BTW I have just received my piece of 'Essential woodworking hand tools'. Nice one!

[@welshman100]

If you have already sized your timber, then find a twist. Wont you have to resize all your timber again once you have taken out the twist?

[@pasqualemandara]

This is the kind of video I like the most,still too short though ;) 48 minutes have gone too fast. Thank you Mr Paul. :)

[@EltonFerreira-yz4eh]

Uma q eu não entendo nada de inglês! Um profissional de cheia!

[@johnsheppard8102]

so very good , i am learning , thanks

[@dimmaz88]

You're improving all the time Paul, one day you'll be offered a job at oak furniture land :D

[@AlonsoRules]

That wood is beautiful

[@jacopoviola8590]

once you check for twist with the sticks, if they're 6 times the width each, wouldnt the twist be exagerated by 12 times?

[@paulmedland6697]

Hi Paul this is an unrelated Question but I am unsure which honing paste to use on my strop as you know there is a wide variety of them out there but which one would you recommend for woodworking tools? Excellent video on the doors I am guessing that you could in theory up scale the technique to make full size doors for the likes of the livingroom, kitchen etc. etc.

[@eddyflynn213]

Hi Paul try this it isn't a paste but a honing compound it's what Paul uses (not necessarily the brand but the compound ) www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-107889-Green-Polishing-Compound/dp/B002QS1M7E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1475160077&sr=8-1&keywords=silverline+107889

[@redstihl9027]

When you say an inch for each horn extension, what would it be for softwood? Thanks

[@Rukatekime]

Новое видео! Ура!

[@LuckySawdust]

Paul, do you use these exact same principles/design rudiments (scaled up) to make a door for a shop, or shed?

[@michaelmears2005]

What is the name of the tool you use for the channel please

[@jamesk1619]

So for the groove cuts when you're hitting it against the grain.. couldn't you just flip it around or am I not understanding the issue correctly? Always a good time learning on your channel.

[@jamesk1619]

Ah. That clears it up. Thanks.

[@ardvarkkkkk1]

New knife and a modern marking gauge.

[@MrNubix]

I was wondering, wouldn't it be sufficient for that construction to just create »small« tenons on that shorter door pieces and glue it?

[@kennethmoravec148]

What is the difference between a plow plane and a rabbet plane?

[@EltonFerreira-yz4eh]

Um excelente trabalho ! Uma pena q eu não falo o seu idioma!

[@shaunblunden294]

I would love to do an apprenticeship under you or another craftsman, However there are very few or no Craftsmen anywhere near me.

[@Rodrat]

What 2 weirdos disliked this? I guess those two just hate learning from an excellent man.

[@eduardom800]

Three, at this time. They do not speak English and get frustrated, or their kid pushed unconsciously the elbow and mistakenly clicked on dislike... so many odds

[@jaguen123]

Although the clock manifests a high degree of craftsmanship, It woefully lacks "pizzazz"! I consider myself a low intermediate class woodworker, I have made many wall clocks over the years. They sing and dance. As in all crafts and art, sometimes art wins out over craftsmanship!

[@1redneckfish]

HOW DOES ONE GET TIMBER TO 12% WHEN WE LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THE HUMIDITY NEVER DROPS BELOW 35% TO 50%?

[@mggcomputers]

we're can I find one of those red marking knife you use is that the Rob cosman's knife

[@bf5man]

In this video, Paul is using the Swann Morton SM00 as discussed in this blog entry: paulsellers.com/2015/11/another-knife-i-like/

[@dmmflys]

Can you do s shot video on the "oil can rag"

[@siestatime4638]

It's been a part of a couple of videos, but I couldn't find it. However, I did find it on his blog: paulsellers.com/2011/10/recycling-4oz-bean-or-tomato-tins/ And this is very important: paulsellers.com/2012/10/3-in-1-yes-boiled-or-raw-linseed-oil-no/

[@stefanopassiglia]

I use a candle stick, same results

[@carlcooper3525]

What kind of a marking knife are you using?

[@Paul.Sellers]

Hi Carl. You can have a look on our Common Woodworking website. You will find your answer there and much more. commonwoodworking.com/ Team Paul-

[@obodude71]

what tool did you use to make the groove?

[@lees979]

veritas plow plane.

[@SharpEdgeWoodworking-UK]

What weight Thor Mallet do you use?

[@Paul.Sellers]

It's the 712, you'll have to look it up.

[@SharpEdgeWoodworking-UK]

Thank you sir....that's grand.

[@fridunanti]

Could you be so nice and show us how to make a board of final measures like: 30x60 cm 19 mm thick. I guess a lot of us beginners, like me, have problem with that. 30x60 cm no problem, but these 19 mm......is not so easy to hold the board absolutely stright and flat and finaly 19 mm thick. Not so easy!!

[@bobabooey8367]

Thanks Paul....Mickey Mouse called..he wants his tape measure back:)

[@rantallion5032]

Once my dog ate most of my sawdust pile and later that week he shat out a perfect Queen Anne table leg. (for a foot stool)

[@wattohandcuff3769]

Privileged to Watch a master craftsman passing a wealth of knowledge on to us , and a fool leaves a comment like that ?

[@guitar5436]

You should make more videos on planes

[@ethanwolbert6153]

At my time of viewing, there are 27 dislikes and over 2k likes. Thats about a 100:1 like-dislike ratio. I can only assume 1% of people accidentally hit dislike after watching and clicked off before realizing; who could honestly dislike this purposefully?

[@brandonstahl3562]

It's official, I've become as boring as my father.

[@RobertMcConnell--CT]

Your videos are a big problem. I am a beginner and still trying to complete my workbench. You keep introducing new videos and I walk away from the workbench to see what your new video can teach me (plenty!!!) and it seems like my bench will never be completed. You are a great teacher, a little too great at times. My ADHD and your videos are not a good combination.

[@738polarbear]

Ove asked Mr. Sellers 3 times nicely about membership amounts for seniors . Guess what? NO ANSWER WHATSOEVER . As far as I can see he is just a moneymaking company.
