Workshop Tour | Paul Sellers

[@Paul.Sellers]

Hello! What is real? Well, in order to film in something that looks like a garage it can't be an actual garage. My dad has an actual brick-built garage at his house that he uses. However, the one you see in the videos is in a studio made to look like the inside of his home garage. We still try to stick to making it realistic. In other words, when my dad is in there working he sticks to the footprint of a single car garage and really makes the furniture there, in that space. But, where would all this videography equipment go if it was a real garage? For the most part we try not to break the illusion for you that Paul is working in a garage but I have spotted quite a few comments here about heating and lighting etc that can only be answered by telling you that this isn't a 'real' garage! I love it feels that way though! If you want a behind the scenes look at the set you can see that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJe0foB_mJyifs0 Thanks, Joseph (Paul's son)

[@JoeSolla]

somebody should tell Paul he's a movie star! 😀

[@Paul.Sellers]

No, ssshhh, we need to keep him real! - Team Paul

[@alleykatt109]

Thanks for stating that the mystery behind the scenes leads one to keep imagining we’re right there in Paul’s little garage with him.

[@Toyotajunkie]

It's still a garage to me. Adding useful components (electrical, HVAC, etc) doesn't make it any less in my eyes. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with working in a (what I assume most call, but definitely called in the U.S.) two-car or three-car garage. Especially if you are still using a good portion of the space for "non-woodworking" storage/use. I'm not saying you are knocking the space that you gentlemen are using, but I don't want either of you to feel like you need to "explain" yourselves. This is such a wonderful space to enjoy your skills AND to share your time and effort with the world!

[@CrazyManwich]

I had a feeling it was a studio the lighting just felt too perfect. Either way it still perfectly illustrates how you do not need a huge workshop to do woodworking.

[@kiprotichh]

I am from Kenya. I used to think woodwork is a messy, fatiguing, and unrespected profession, but after watching a bunch of videos here on KZbin, that attitude went through the window. Today, I got a well-organized workshop for myself. I have been following this channel for years now. Basically, my bench, leather strops, handmade router, vise, mallets, etc are Paul Sellers versions. Thanks for the tips and inspiration, Paul.

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

It was always an unrespected profession, hence tradesmen always had to use the rear door. Then, when people recognised how unskilled jobs were so poorly paid and some now earned enough to engage tradesmen, respect was returned. Sadly now, with the B&Qs' of the world, push fit this, snap on that, everyone an expect, trades have slumped back and are now crafts.

[@ianbutler1983]

Have you considered making videos. I would enjoy seeing a person from Kenya do woodworking.

[@regthebackyardjackofalltrades]

Paul Sellers has inspired us all.

[@kiprotichh]

@@ianbutler1983 Yeah, I was thinking of buying a camera and a mic. I already have lighting in place. I thought of using my phone but I didn't want to risk ruining the first impression. I will launch it very soon though. Four good-quality videos will do.

[@jonathanstafford750]

I can’t figure out how woodworking would be disrespected... your thinking of builders, generally. Take technology and man made plastics away and what has everyone got? Gonna need a roof and walls to get you through winter, humanity has been kept alive by woodworkers, who’s chopping those logs for the fire? No man that wears a tie and sits at a desk I can tell you

[@aldunlop4957]

How refreshing it is Mr Sellers to have a shop tour which doesn't involve the viewer being transported from one area to another and being introduced to machinery that is probably out of financial reach for the average Joe. This, in my opinion, can be demoralising to many people wanting to get into the world of woodworking and your videos show exactly why we can do what we do without spending a fortune. I have a friend who always asks me, "What would Paul Sellers do?" whenever I think that I can't accomplish a project and it never fails to bring me back to looking at it with a fresh pair of eyes. My weekend course with you many years ago has left an indelible memory of happy and inspirational times that never fail to bring a smile to my face. Thank you for staying true to your craft and for sharing it for others to learn from.

[@Jeff034]

All my life I chased the newer bigger machines thinking it would make me a ‘better’ woodworker. Now I realise it was a fools errand - with a couple of exceptions I now try to get smaller, and use my hands more. Thanks Paul

[@lisaburt7118]

I love that Paul didn't clean up his workshop to film this, with everything pristinely organized. I love seeing the shavings on the floor, the dust and detritus, the coffee mug, etc. Paul does 'authentic' and I think that's what I like most about him.

[@CrazyManwich]

He proves organization does not require perfectly spaced tools.

[@andrerocha7249]

I'm currently 22, started watching Paul Sellers when I was about 12 years old, have been making things since then and have nothing to say but thank you! I'm sure that your style of working has inspired everyone of us!

[@AndySpicer]

It took me a long time to pick up on this when we were in class but once I saw it I can’t not see it. You are so economical in your movements in the shop. Everything flows back and forth just so and it would be easy to discount that. I always feel like I’m an agitated rooster flailing around in comparison. 😂

[@HistoricHomePlans]

It's a cold, grey, drizzly Sunday here, a perfect day to hang out with Paul Sellers and get a tour of his shop! Thank you, Paul!

[@silenthill5794]

I absolutely hated shop class in school because I grew up without a father figure and had zero interest in it. Norm Abram was the person who "introduced" me to wood working, but I never gave it much more interest than watching simply because what Norm did was advertise the machines you would need. He coined the phrase "over at the table saw, over at the miter saw, etc..". Paul Sellers is the single reason I actually pulled the trigger and wanted to learn about working with wood. He explained everything, the smallest thing in the easiest way and gave and still gives the best instruction ever, and he showed me that I didn't need large, expensive, dust creating equipment to make something, that it could all be done with hand tools . Paul advertises his Master Classes, which I highly recommend to anyone regardless of your woodworking knowledge, but Paul for whatever reason, doesn't make/sell hand tools. I wish there was a line of Paul Sellers saws and chisels.

[@alanandkarenrouse747]

Very interesting. I have been a woodworker all my life. I Grandpa gave me a tool kit when I was two years old. Back then the tools were "real" tools. They really worked! My folks said that I would saw on the table legs just to make sawdust to play with. I am now nearing 80, and I have a workshop that suits my needs nicely. I am mainly a hand tool guy. I use tools that my great-granddad used in his trade. My wife doesn't come to my shop very much. She says that it is too messy. It might be, but it suits my needs, and I am comfortable there. I guess you could call it my "Man Cave" . Enjoy all the videos that you put out, and I learn something every time. Keep them coming. THANKS!!!

[@paulowens6838]

@Paul.Sellers Thanks for posting this. I worked in a millwork shop for a little over a year when I was young, and then a small cabinet shop. When I left those to pursue higher education I intended to stick with woodworking, however having come from shops that had several hundreds of thousands dollars in equipment, space, and so on, I struggled to narrow down what was actually needed for myself, and frankly didn't have the skills to use handtools, or even small power tools to build the quality of pieces I had become accustom to. So I gave up and chased other things. I've decided to get back into woodworking now, 20+ years later and to start over again from scratch, this time focusing on the handtools. It's very interesting seeing this and seeing how successful you can be in a modest space with what appear to be mostly old tools. I appreciate the contrast against the other educators of woodworking on youtube. They tend to have bright, clean large shops. With all new tools, many of them specialized. I don't think that's wrong. I think honestly I'm going to fall somewhere in between. But I do think it's important to see both sides. Thanks again and happy new year!

[@Bunk599]

A man comfortable with himself and a perfect work shop. My Grandfather was a carpenter at the beginning of the last century. His tool box was passed to my father and now to me. The box has been neglected for half a century, moved coast to coast several times in the past 3 decades. After watching your videos I am starting to understand what they do and their unlimited capabilities in the hands of a craftsman. It's odd to hold tools my Grandfather held and perhaps made 125 years ago.

[@adrianedhouse5175]

I loved the brief course I attended with you in that Penrhyn Castle in Wales. Talking with you planted a seed to make a change in life and when I moved back to New Zealand a few years later I retrained as a Carpenter. Thank you Paul.

[@AndySpicer]

I would have liked to see him there. That was a lovely place.

[@mtz9939]

My shop is small as well, but it's where I feel creative and at peace.

[@parchemin3091]

Master Sellers, thank you so much for sharing your precious knowledge. Respects from a french hand-tool woodworker.

[@Ham68229]

I've said this several times before, "thank you" Paul. For sharing, for teaching. You're a true professional. What many don't understand is, a "workshop" is what is "suited" for you not necessarily what others have. You can get idea's, incorporate but, in the end, it's what's best for your needs. In my opinion, a "good" workshop is a 2nd home. Great video, cheers :)

[@nicklaskallman280]

Its very inspiring to see your workshop. I have been following you for years i began watching when i didnt have access to a workshop and just dreaming about working with wood. Now six or seven years later i have finished boatbuildingschool finished a long apprenticeship and worked a few years with boatbuilding and renovation. And in december i have a new job building, renovating furniture and doors. Woodworking is a journey and i want to continue learning all about it.

[@pitsnipe5559]

An entire garage! Man, you are one lucky guy. I only have half a garage. Well, not half really, more like 1/4 of a garage. But, I seem to do ok. Just finished restoring two if my wife’s grandfather’s saws. One is at least 109 years old.

[@sdavidleigh6642]

When I got married we received many wedding gifts- toasters, blenders, all kinds of kitchen items but we did not have a hammer, or saw, or screwdrivers or any tools what so ever so I made it a habit to give tools as a wedding present for a number of years. Also my spouse used to say a good carpenter never blames his tools but over the years I can see a clear difference in results based on the quality of the tool. Today tools are very precise and that makes a huge difference. Thank you Paul for what you do.

Thanks for this Paul, it's a useful reminder of all that is really needed. I guess we have to get there by our own journey, but your experience is always appreciated. When I came here to a double garage the first thing I did was throw up a dividing wall to establish a workshop and invest in some machine tools - Pillar drill, Bandsaw & Chop/Mitre saw then later added basic lathe. I wouldn't change this but now understand it wasn't all necessary and I still saw and plane by hand when it suits ! Thank for all your inspiration and my lungs thank you too for the minimising of machine based dust - I still aspire to building a workbench outoldoors in an orchard in a Welsh castle ! Kind regards, AndyC.

[@lbhunter6341]

I have watched most, if not all, of your videos and I've seen so many things come out of your workshop...but there's something that I've never seen come out of your shop...a cross word. I must admit that I admire your ability to take all the "oops" in stride. I'm trying to learn that from you as well as woodworking! LOL

[@tayyabsafdar7069]

Same with me as I grow old all the fancy tools are gone now I have only that are really needed. Lovely, cozy and practical work shop of someone who is a real craftsman not a showman. Thanks Paul for showing to us the real craftsman workshop.

[@stewartg2101]

To be honest Paul I do no care if this is filmed in a studio or not! I watch this channel because of YOU! Your knowledge is tremendous, your tutorials and advise is second to none, but most of all I think it is your enthusiasm and passion for woodworking that comes across in bucket loads that keeps me hooked. I have learned so much from watching your videos and I hope you keep them coming for years to come. Thank you very much. Stewart.👍

[@dmitrireavis1729]

Mr/ Sellers, I would love to see a video series of you making furniture for a customer. Seeing the process from beginning to end would be interesting. I know you have done this in the past, but I'd love to see more of that. Thank you.

[@stevebettany8778]

So pleased to see the work stool mine was the first proper piece I built following your masterclass.

[@williamconnor7249]

I love it small doesn’t mean inefficient or ineffective everything is where you need it

[@naczelny1]

Sir, your commitment to sharing your extraordinary experience, proficiency and passion, your saintly inclination to educating new generations, and the way you pronounce the word "perfect", those things grant you immortality. Thank you.

[@jonway7845]

As always, you are a true inspiration. Until someone works with hand tools, they won't realize the precision it offers.

[@Martins_Woodshop]

What a nice shop. My own one is even smaller (about 3x3 meters), but since I've stoped working with machines for the most part and switched to hand tools, the size is totally sufficient.

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Well bless your hearts, team Paul! You are a blessing to us all.❤😊

[@lynxg4641]

Paul, as with all the others, definitely have enjoyed watching you since I found out about you and have always been entertained and normally also learned a thing or two each time. When I watched your build you bench with the trough, I thought "no, not for me", but now after using my bench for a bit and you describing why you did it, I think that when I get more space, I'll be adding a well to my bench. Thanks you for all the time and effort you put into sharing your knowledge with all of us.

[@mm9773]

You’re right: nosing around in other people’s shops, in person or online, is a lot of fun. Thanks, Paul. One thing: I’ve watched a ton of your videos on KZbin, but I wasn’t aware of the mortise guides. Perhaps an idea for a future video.

[@thomashverring9484]

Thank you, that was a joy to watch :^) I love my small hand tool workshop, too. It's more than a woodworking workshop, though, I also sow and solder, repair and renew things, anything that comes to mind, really. In a way I have recreated a version of what I grew up with; a place where I could make anything that I wanted. Today I have become more specialised, more conscious about what I like to do, but I still love doing weird little repairs and making things live on. Even repairing the cat toys (again and again and again ...).

[@norm5785]

Thank you for sharing your awesome workspace with us. Very nice indeed. I have also found that i use my power tools less. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

Hi Mr. Paul, I wish you will read my message. I'm banker from Dubai and I'm building my home workshops I'm learning from you everyday. I visit London twice a year and i wish to meeting you one day even if you are in different city. Thank you very much for everything you do

[@PhilWaud]

Thank you Paul. Ive followed you for quite a few years now, and watched many many worktop tours but this one has really made me think. In my dreams, Ive always pictured a workshop where Ive crammed a lathe, circular saw, router table and a load of metal working gear in. After watching this, Ive come to realise that this isnt important - think of what you produce and work from there. A game changer!

[@hubrigant]

I love the design of the storage of your saws on the bench. I'm going to have to remember to incorporate it into my new bench when I build it.

[@ShoshinMushin]

Well done Paul, may you enjoy many years ahead in your beautiful work space.

[@coreygrua3271]

Brilliant. His results are explained by tools and his space.

[@jackstanford550]

Outstanding , Mr Sellers. I’ve followed you since I attended 2 classes with you at Heritage in Waco years ago. You are always an inspiration. BTW, I STILL HAVE 2 “joint” pieces the you made and autographed for me. I show them to everyone that comes in my shop.

[@tedbastwock3810]

Paul, the world is better because of you. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to all you have to offer to come. I have immensely loved my WWMC subscription.

[@billyblackie9417]

True Peter. I like to visit different types and sizes of woodwork shops because while getting good ideas from big shops the smaller shops show more suitable ideas for people like me who also have a small shop for hobbies affordable for me with medical problems so can't work anymore but I also get other ideas leading from what I saw in the smaller shops. I'm also more hands on rather than machinery. You gave me a a brilliant idea of the rubber mats on the floor. I also have a metal framed stool I put a wood top on and have it about 25-30 years and suits for sawing on and also for standing on to reach things high up. Thank you for your lovely tour of your lovely work shop. Carpenters these days don't know how to do joints unless they have a machine to do the work for them and rely too much on screws and nails too much. I prefer to re-learn the joints I used to be quite good at doing and only rely on screws and nails when really necessary. Thanks Peter

[@kevinweaver4265]

Thanks for the tour Paul. One of your best videos yet!

[@Toyotajunkie]

What a terrific "shop tour." I don't usually watch them from others as it tends to get so repetitive and too scripted. I actually felt the genuine happiness and satisfaction with your space. I love how you distanced yourself from machines that you actually do not need. I personally have a very hard time cutting a straight (usable) line, so I find a table saw extremely useful. But I don't have every other machine known to man either... ha ha. Thanks again for a wonderful video, and for sharing your happiness and knowledge!

[@AndySpicer]

Paul, I still buy every good quality saw I see for sale for $5 or less. Same for chisels, #5 planes, and router planes. I never pay more than $5 for a piece and normally get a box of them for that price. Once at a county fair I got a box of at least 50 saws, every single one of them a Disston, half of them in the smaller gentleman’s size. All for $10. I let the kids who may be around, or anyone else that wants to have one to use. Only catch is that they have to get it working and be willing to be it’s caretaker for a 😅couple decades. It was your idea. I don’t know if you remember suggesting it. It was the day we all met Joseph and we were sitting outside having lunch. I’ve probably given away 500 saws over the years since. Lol. Just about every one of them got sharpened with two $1 files, two blocks of wood, and a kid. You taught me so much but the thing that made the biggest difference I think was to get rid of the crutches and learn to use my damned hands to do the work that mattered 😊 I had an $800 sharpening station with another $800 in jigs when I left for Greenwich and I would avoid sharpening my chisels and plane blades because it was such a pain in the ass to set the thing up and such a mess to put away. You can’t be a woodworker if you are sharpening things monthly. Lol.

[@Paul.Sellers]

Well done, Andy! Love it.

[@leroidelabagarre]

Simple tools seems making same jobs than expensive ones. But you had experience to reconize a good and cheap tool, my really small experience teach me that I can't afford tombe poor. This week I started m'y professional reconversion to be a carpenter, one of our teacher tells us that a good carpenter had good tools and it will ,sometimes, cost a lot. Thanks for all your video

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

Paul comes across as a true gent. Happy to pass his knowledge on to us all. Thanks for the shop tour and your excellent videos.

[@jaywood8296]

I appreciate your emphasizing experimentation, and that things evolve and change. So often folks present their shop or equipment as a finished end result.

[@bobbycresap4440]

So this is still the studio garage within your larger building correct? I remember the series on your new studio when you built the faux garage and explained that it was meant to show what most people had at home but still allowed you to film and provide the quality videos we all love. A little bit of film trickery or magic is always appreciated.

[@neowu6518]

I believe this is the real garage now attached to the Sellers home.

[@hubertsaegmuller4101]

No it isn‘t. It‘s the Studio Workshop.

[@ricos1497]

@@hubertsaegmuller4101 yep, I believe that's the studio. I'm guessing a brick workshop like that in parts of the UK (without lining I mean) would be difficult/expensive to heat.

Perfect! I've been trying to get the idea across to friends that I don't want a big workshop. I use one end of a small shed with a "ship's carpenter" mindset. You've got some amazing organizational ideas! Oh, and that router plane... Yeah, I made only one from your plans, and it gets plenty of use and pride of place in my little shop.

I have started watching at the the start of the year and want to get into handtools. I have been looking at a 14' by 12' garden shed/office. The question i have is now is this a waste of time should i wrap it in insulation. I want to leave the projects and wood out there. I am still really unsure about how moisture works on dried timbers and so on. Lookong forward to a q and a video

Thank you for a great tour which showed some rarely talked about or shown parts of your workshop (a good part of it has been documented in videos or blogs over the years, but it's helpful to see it all together). I have copied/followed/adapted many of your recommendations and must say that they result in a very functional workshop ! Thank you for the inspiration and for the sharing !

[@3henry214]

I never cease to come away an "ah-ha" moment when I see something in your videos. for this one was the hand hand buffing wheel, which I'm assuming was originally a hand crank grinder that you switched out the abrasive wheel with a buffing wheel... brilliant. I've always loathed needed to pull out my heavy motorized buffing wheel and find a place to mount it just do to just to do some quick little task. So now it's off to ebay to find one of those hand crank grinders.

[@baptistec.4546]

Everything in this shop is so smart and well organised 😍 I would be very interested to see how you built this mini-router, I want the same now 😊 I guess it’s based on your previous lesson about building a router plane but I’d like to understand why and how you made this brass sole.

Lovely video Paul. My husband and I have learned so much watching all your videos. We often say we wish you were our neighbor. :) We are looking to get a bench vise and wonder what size yours is? Cheers from Brian and Ellie in South Carolina

[@ricos1497]

I think the bench is 2x5ft (60x150cm approx). The vise in the video is actually a record 52 1/2 (I think the Woden is in the actual garage at Paul's house, rather than the replica studio). Think the record is 9inches. If you can pick up a second hand vise that needs restoration you'll be better served than buying a new equivalent (depending how easy they are to come across in your area). I recently bought a Parkinson vice, a predecessor to the record and Woden I think, which is built like a tank (although needed a lot of rust removal)! Should outlast me and my children!
