Twist Solution | Paul Sellers

[@2010COpall]

I'm a beginning woodworker and I just got schooled by a master. And it's all for FREE !!!! Thanks Paul. Thanks KZbin.

[@VishwanathSaragadamRV]

Did I witness magic in action? Of course we all know that we need to use winding sticks to remove twist, but this solution is simply beautiful! Every video of Paul Sellers teaches you something new!

[@howardho5205]

Thanks for this tip.

[@negaopiroca2766]

This is fantastic, even with machines, to get a feeling of how much thickness you will need to remove.

[@DirkOgier]

Tanks Paul. Like always, I learned a lot. Stay Healthy.

[@mattcable6379]

The world of woodworking's greatest grandad. Thanks Paul.

[@rauschguitars]

This is a trick that will save me so much time in future! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@ensen89]

I mostly watch woodworking content for entertaiment, because with every video I watch the chance of something I didn't know being in it becomes smaller. But this technique is outstanding. I never heard or thought about this. Thank you!

[@2010COpall]

Paul seemed so excited to share this technique that I'm guessing he recently came up with it himself. If so, and given his considerable exeperience, I wonder if it was a "Duh" moment for him?

[@sakuz123]

@@2010COpall I feel like it's something he would have known by feel or wouldn't need as much as a beginner like me.

[@negaopiroca2766]

@@2010COpall he probably learned it a long time ago. I think it's more that he's trying to keep the video short than being excited :)

[@lilcicero77]

this wedge innovation is wonderful, as I had never fully understood untwisting with winding stick before !

[@lagoondragoon]

have to get back working on that workbench with this

[@sphilpot05]

Thank for this tip, Paul. You were truly the inspiration that made me take wood working seriously, and I can't thank you enough. So... Thank you 🙂

[@ziggen78]

Grande Paul👌👌💪🔝🤗

[@imager8763]

Awesome! Is there a video on making that beautiful straight edge?

[@roberthahn8555]

I literally needed this video 2 weeks ago. Thanks for sharing!

[@TermiteUSA]

Makes our day when you do these clips Paul. Thanks always.

[@joshjenkinson1929]

What a superb method of sorting a twisted piece!

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Thanks for the great video Paul 👍

[@robertbamford8266]

Interesting. Translates to using a thickness planer with a sled and shims. Thanks for the insight into the hand took approach.

[@scottbrader-kd9vyy225]

What a brilliant tip! Thank you!

[@CrazyManwich]

While these techniques aren’t needed due to modern power tools, I feel these hand tool techniques should be learned as I believe it make you even better with modern power tools by giving a deeper understanding of the why.

[@daveclemmer4536]

Wow, that's a marvelous technique, I'm going to use it next time! Brilliant! I've just used winding sticks with no marks to true a face after a few passes.

[@ianpearse4480]

Cool concept.

[@tigranminasyan3222]

Thank you very much Paul! Very useful method!!!

[@clemoniii]

Damn, brilliant! When i read this in the blog, i couldn't quite visualize the lines and therefore the concept. THANK YOU for this video explanation. I'm just grasping hand tool work, and this provides a quantum leap in understanding how to "quickly" understand how much to plane. Those wispy curls are so intoxicating i often just reverse the twist instead of stopping at the proper point.

[@jonway7845]

EXCELLENT, you are a true master that explains processes in a common sense way.

[@jg0943]

You look at a piece of wood differently after spending this much time together! Amazing

[@Ramplcro]

Great tip 👍. I was using winding sticks but this tip will save me a lot of time knowing without constant checking that 4 points are level and straight.

[@GrantHendrick]

Thank you for your great tutorial.

[@danoi99]

What I'm really enjoying about woodworking is that I've discovered how to deal with this issue on my own. Then a video from a true master describes the way I've been doing it. I still "discovered" the method, but in the same way that many before me also did. The human mind eh? There's plenty that I've learned from you though Paul. Fantastic that you're putting out so much content for us all. Thanks.

[@dale1956ties]

Wow!!! This is a genius technique and I'm looking forward to trying it on my next twisted piece of wood. Thank you Paul. Love your videos and I am subbed so I never miss the new ones.

[@stanbrackhage]

ty Paul. My method is to place the board on a flat surface and shim it so it doesn't rock. Then I scribe around it so the flat surface is scribed around the edge of the board at the thickness I want. A very similar method to yours!

[@bekanav]

That is like a machinist way to do it. It is more precise but for bigger pieces of lumber usually not possible. But actually it isn't worth it to try to straighten very long or wide pieces for twist because it wastes so much wood and is too laborious

[@WoodworkJourney]

Fantastic informative info as usual 👍

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic tip, Paul! Thanks a bunch! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@nikolausreinke9966]

Great idea. So obvious and easy I would even call it genious. Thank you!

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Thank you as always Paul. Excellent information in less than 5 minutes.

[@benoits2080]

Super! Thanx.

[@frankstoverpurebloodsaltya6441]

As always..great advice paul!

[@lrochfort]

The wedge is new to me. Very helpful

[@therub2191]

You really are the man Paul, thanks for passing along all your knowledge, it is invaluable to me - and I dare say a great many others. Thanks again

[@juancordon7326]

Hello Paul! Again a lecture on practical wisdom!! Thank you

[@aaronwine2111]

🤯mind blown! Thank you Paul!

[@wolfman75]

Thanks Paul!!!

[@chippysteve4524]

Thanks for another great vid Paul. I imagine that this technique will work well on shorter boards where the degree of 'wind' can be assumed to be constant along the length.

[@SirPrancelot1]

Wish I'd been taught this instead of messing around with winding sticks. Thanks Paul.

[@Lauradicus]

A most excellent technique. Thanks!

[@patrickcasey1150]

Superb! Thank you Paul!

Cool advice again

[@marxarellanotrueba3530]

I will try this rigth now!! It is pure geometric and logic... but I have never tougth about it before.

[@alanfarnworth2802]

[@sakuz123]

My only complaint is that I wish you showed this earlier! Thank you for another great video.

[@SVR-Russia]

Спасибо, Paul! Очень полезная информация.

[@TylrVncnt]

Genius

[@summerwind4590]

Which kind of wood is good for making measuring gages? Like winding sticks or straight edges?

[@benjaminzedrine]

I've always tried to take the whole twist out by hitting one corner at a time. This would explain why I've always struggled :p

[@hshanoo]

👍

[@th34lch3m1st]

One of this day I'm gonna build a straight edge anchored to both ends with regulation bolts that can slide up and down, and keeping them parallel to the workbench I will see exactly where a board is high or low, just to calm my fussiness. PS: Thanks for the tip Mr. Sellers.

[@CandidZulu]

In metal work we would use a surface gauge. In theory the bench top would suffice as a reference surface for this.

[@baskarannevish]

Wood name please

[@ricos1497]

Looks like pine (Scot's perhaps) to me, but could be wrong. Looks a little light for cherry, but might be that also.

[@physicsguybrian]

Doesn't this assume the twist is a constant pitch?

[@Mr_Rick]

Just confirming that your winding sticks are twice as long as your board width so therefore you half the distance your measured. Correct?

[@stephanedaigle1613]

it's half because he only used one wedge on one of the winding sticks.

[@Mr_Rick]

@@stephanedaigle1613 here's how I understand it... He only took half of the height on the wedge because the winding stick exaggerates how much the twist is. He tells about this in another of his videos about winding sticks. For example... If the board is 8" wide and the winding stick is 16" then what you see in twist is 2 times greater then actuality. I believe this is why he halves it.

[@djl9731]

I think for this technique the lengths of the winding sticks plays no role. They are used only to indicate when the twist disappears. The reason he halves the thickness of the line is because he is taking some off each opposite corner.

[@nigel4425]

That piece of wood MUST have come from B&Q! Twisted and cupped, their standard timber specification. (Other timber merchants are available).

[@Matt_Alaric]

Nice to know! But seeing how much time that will take i can understand why people with spare money pay for thicknessers ;)

[@fredpierce6097]

A tip Brilliant enough to be attributed to Sir Isaac Newton but NOT……rather Sir Paul Sellers!

[@kevindutra5305]

You are magnificent!!

[@maximilian4706]

you are the best woodworking teacher out there. but, please dont't teacht such tricks.Woodworking is much easier. you have to learn to understand it, but plesase don't work it as a new workflow

[@johntailing5283]

Hey! I’ve just learned how to use winding sticks properly- I’ve just learned how to flatten a board properly, in around the same time it took Roger Bannister to run a mile, , , , , in fact I’ve just learned more in five minutes than I ever did in two years at school, , , , , , I’m off to make some sawdust- wish me luck 🪚 🔨
