"saw down slightly at an angle" I knew this day would come. My skill/inability to keep a hand saw perpendicular and parallel is now an asset. You need a cut that strays of center... I'm your man.

[@robertmillstein8916]

I am a previously active 60 year old man but after nine spine surgeries I have become limited in what I can do. Then I discovered woodworking and I have been inspired by watching you. I find hand tool woodworking to be a great joy. Thank-you Mr Sellers for your outstanding instruction. I can't tell you how much they have helped me. Bob Millstein

[@totojejedinecnynick]

Some channels are trying to sell you name-brand systems, Paul is trying to teach you a skill how to make your own.

[@doct0rnic]

I love how cost effective everything Paul does, other channels more or less just pitch expensive systems for the same purpose

[@tomdenny8507]

I watch a number of wood working videos online but I have to say that I always enjoy yours the most. I truly appreciate your simple no-nonsense practical method of explaining things. This was another great lesson for me. Thank you.

[@arnold7156]

Inever get tired of watching this man work.. what a pleasure, and i learned soo much just by watching

[@gayleperkins3090]

r sellers, I am an old man 82 anda terrible but avid wood worker. Since I have been watching and listening to you I have become an addict and amaccumilating old tools, and yousir are helping me re make them for my use . Thank yu very much

[@billlawton6813]

Gayle Perkins thanks for saying it. I am a bit younger at 47 years old. I am developing a passion for old tools and dove tails myself.

[@909sickle]

​@@billlawton6813 I'm a bit younger at 35. *tips hat* Made a dovetail or two myself.

[@geomiss8889]

Aye to that Gayle, Sellers is about woodworking not selling tools as so many do. Many thanks to his "how to do" videos... Like you I love my restored tools and enjoyed every minute bringing them up to better than new condition.

[@larrypostma2866]

Hopefully your still at it Gayle. Loved your comment

[@bobwilkinson8053]

Paul busts this out in 18 minutes. This would take me hours to get it spot on!

[@catchmeifyoucan2815]

Having the gift to make things looks simple is the trademark of a true craftsman. I admire you Paul, for all the wisdom and serenity you display !

[@johnraffensperger]

Well said.

[@brianmiller9365]

I love this. Using whatever's at hand. Coat hanger, broom handle, "whatever you can get your hands on". And it all works wonderfully. You couldn't buy better stuff. Excellent.

[@brianmosher4053]

It's funny because I am on probably my 10th time of rewatching the whole channel of videos. Great sense of humor and great simplistic craftsmanship. Your the man Pauly!

[@raymondcava4669]

I’m not a carpenter but I love watching your videos. Thank you for posting.

[@bufordtsquid]

It is a real pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work. Mr. Sellers shows that it is about technique and skill and simple innovation, not about the fanciest and most expensive tools and gizmos. You are an ambassador for true craftsmanship, and I think also for good common sense. Thank you, good sir, for your very informative and helpful presentations.

[@lawrencehill8653]

Paul, the one thing I like about your videos is that we learn woodworking needs not be complicated or involve fancy, High-dollar equipment. Withe the fact that these dogs can be made so quickly and cheaply, Who needs to buy expensive ones? (Sorry Lee Valley, you've gotten enough of my money.

[@robertputz6161]

I have never commented on a channel before, but mr sellers has demonstrated so effectively, the old saw...simple answers are the best answers.

[@philippebenoiton9563]

First in French(?): Paul, je me régale de chacune de vos vidéos, simplicité, efficacité, précision chirurgicale et satisfaction garantie! Vous êtes un professeur de qualité inégalée (le tout mis en image et en son grâce à des professionnel de votre trempe ! Bravo de France!! Continuez je ne me lasse pas!

[@farfazzi]

your wiring mechanism for the dog is genius! so simple yet functional.. thanks for the great vid

[@TheBillPayingHobbyists]

Thank you for the trick on providing a source of tension for the dog peg. That's what I needed.

[@canobenitez]

I fail to see what's the purpose. a dog peg without any wires will serve the same purpose.

[@frankstover3444]

Truly a pleasure to learn from you

[@truebluekit]

Thank you, Mr. Sellers, for sharing your knowledge.

[@thecatlinux]

Always a joy to watch you work Paul , a truly inspiring series of videos you can dip in and out of .

[@mikedarr6968]

Mr. Sellers, first I want to thank you for these great instructional videos. You have helped me Greatly in my effort to use chisels and hand planes. I have watched many of your videos and it seems that I have learned from you. I did just this before I saw this lesson, almost exactly as you did, to a portable workbench that I made for when I travel via RV. Thank You!

[@burnedprog]

You make everything look so easy and approachable. Thanks so much for all your videos.

[@ranjdall]

I look forward to your videos and I'm thankful you take the time to share

[@dr.rongoldstein1633]

Another great video. Your teaching is unsurpassed. Thank you

[@watermain48]

I really enjoy the low-key attitude Mr. Sellers displays in his work and teaching. Thanks for another fine video sir.

[@Bennetts74]

[@cozydram1]

cheers Paul & team for the bench dogs video ........and congrats on the move too.......look forward to more furniture making videos and books alike........

[@TheBookDoctor]

That's awesome. You just saved me the cost and complexity of building a wagon vise with my next bench build!

[@stevemassie1764]

Paul thanks for showing this very effective low cost dogging system. Steve

[@timhunter452]

Perfect timing, I have been pondering how to retro fit a dog to my Record vice and what how to make inexpensive dogs. Thank you, a really useful video and some great techniques.

[@eddyflynn213]

a simple but effective addition to any bench thanks for the tips

[@fatboyslim3006]

Thank you Paul , I am late of years getting into woodworking and using at the present an old non woodworking bench . I received a non-dogged vice as a gift and need to know how to make it work.. So as a viewer and subscriber of your site I remembered seeing it before so went back found it and now thanks to you I have moved a little farther along in the know how in woodworking .. Thanks for a well explained how to....

[@henryraynald7947]

Thanks Paul for this wonderful and useful video. My bench needs dog holes and now I know where and how many there will be. Thank you for showing us what can be done easily and affordably by a master like yourself.

[@allen.lpersingerjr6408]

Thank you sir, your work are works of art and you are my modern day michelangelo of wood , I have learned so much from you.

[@athmostafa2462]

I love your simplicity 😍👏

[@mattg6262]

Dear Paul, thanks so much for this! I've made a set of five if these and they work terrific with some tuning.

[@daveyfus1]

I always look forward to your videos, thank you for sharing.

[@deburgeRa]

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing.

[@oxbowfarm5803]

Very grateful for the useful little shop-made tools you have, vs recommending the purchase of every little thing. So helpful for those of us who can't justify spending $$$ to outfit a workshop.

[@isizinyo]

I'm about to build my workbench so this is very helpful. Thank you for these videos.

[@JamesDutka]

I've just bought a vice after X years of bodged clamping jobs and this video was perfect

[@kurtgoodwin9490]

Brilliant and simple. Many thanks

[@ppdan]

14:50 I think it's the first time I see a power tool on this channel.

[@garyknight8616]

Thank you again for another excellent video. Perfect timing, I was just thinking about bench dogs for the bench I'm currently building. Best regards, Gary.

[@blackfender100]

Great tips Paul as always.simple and useful.

[@bespurcell]

World Class, Thank You Paul

Another "No frills, it just does what you need." video. Thanks!

[@tropifiori]

Very nice. I like the tip for keeping the brace square.

[@phooesnax]

Wonderful approach.... thank you

[@graham8854]

We love you Paul

[@wqpeb]

A fine man you are, sir.

[@mogbaba]

A lot of useful information in this video, thank you.

[@DavidLebold]

Thank you, I just picked up a small second hand vise. I am going to retro fit it just like this.

[@TheRedbeardster]

Great idea with the wire, thank you.

[@FirstIrishKing]

Execellent video Mr. Sellers.

[@TheJimsock]

Brilliant as usual. Thanks

[@wizardwillbonner]

Thank you Paul, I never thought about doing that to my vice. I've been using my ole B&D workmate for planning jobs, but not anymore!

[@smctunes]

Thank you, Paul.

[@satopham]

Brilliant...as always!

[@MikeWaldt]

Great video Paul, thanks.

[@goldeneggduck]

[@ikust007]

Just love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sunglint]

[@taffpatch1]

absolutely superb xx

[@jamartin1]

Very nice! Thank you!💜

[@dusttilldawn123]

well done paul on my way out the workshop to make my own

[@Sooper8]

Great video, thanks for this!

[@MrBillUp]

Using Dogs is extremely popular I have found. Its called Dogging. There are websites purely in this subject. Weekly and Monthly meetups up and down the country, I guess to discuss the techniques involved. People even do it in public, although I have no idea how they get their work benches to wherever they are meeting. I need to look more into it. 👍

[@martinpoole1451]

Nothing beats a bit of dogging.

[@puffinlittle]

Greetings, thanks for more shop made tools.

[@mariaquijandria7900]

muy buena leccion maestro

[@nicholassmerk]

I have a few of those vises, I'll have to do the same thing. One suggestion I have, once you bent the springs, remove them and temper them with a torch and a water bath.

[@LG-pq2qz]

Great Videos!!! Very Helpful Thanx!

[@perfectworldpat7053]

Love this video

[@standswithfish]

Great job!

[@micheloderso]

Very nice idea and video

[@campbellmj9405]

Well, this is certainly better than the design I came up with at the vise end.

[@sylvano1955]

Thank you!

[@TheDrPoh]

I found a bicycle spoke worked well for the spring wire.

[@matthewmasail8724]

Great! thank you!

[@howardhagadorn9443]

Very clever, beats the hell out of buying bench dogs. I've seen a method of making square dogs with a kerf in the wood for a spring, but too damned much work with chiseling out the square holes etc. I've been waiting for a simpler version and this is it

[@TheBigBigBlues]

Great video

[@blackemmons]

Thanks Paul. I really like your videos. JimE

[@stefanopassiglia]

Awesome. Thanks.

[@michaelcorrado3452]

Thank you.

[@j.d.1488]

I have a Yost bench vise and it has Antal bar that moves up and down. Now I know what it is. Lol Thanks Paul

[@UrukEngineer]

Now I know what dogging is. Thank you.

[@shilohjim]

Now I know how to make replacement dogs for my Workmate. Thank you.

[@dr.christianrapp]

I was ready to spent some 50 Euro... Much funnier and probably effective that way. Thanks Pauil! So now I can finetune my old bench I was given as a present.

[@HWCism]

Thanks again.

[@icespeckledhens]

Nice system thanks
