Paul, yet another of your understated, and extraordinarily helpful tutorials. Just this morning, I hung my three primary joinery saws with your method, and hung my Japanese pull saw beneath the bench on the leg of my plywood workbench (thanks, to you). The rubber tubing on a screw trick will be used on many more such projects. I feel that your guidance and mentorship have become a meaningful part of my hand-tool woodworking journey, and consider you part of our "chosen family". Please know that you are much admired from across the pond!
Mr. Sellers, I must sincerely say that you are at the pinnacle of woodworking. I've been watching your videos since last year and I'm more and more impressed with the excellence of your work. I wish you all the best and I hope to watch you for many years more. Cheers from Brasil.
Excellent video and process. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to you I have found and restored 8 quality planes, a quality 1980 Stanley Router plane, and a quality Spoke Shave. I'm a retired Tinsmith enjoying every day working in the my professional wood/metal shop helping and sharing. Thanks for helping me help everyone that I can.
Brilliant solution to a problem. I gave up on pegs before I even got started. I was considering them, bench-side, then remembered my grandpa always fussing when they bounced off during chisel work. Thanks for this video.
No matter which of your videos I watch, I always learn something I need to know. I have to make 4 angles to reinforce an antique drawer I'm restoring (1,1m; part of a dresser that has marqueterie, quite a beauty) and I didn't know what tool to use and I also didn't want them to be just a triangle but an antique shape, although you only see them when you open the drawer. Your holders gave me an idea! Thank you, Paul!
Paul another helpful video. I find it very fun to realize how much my skills have grown along side your TH-cam channel. I had the opportunity to purchase some of your old tools a while back from a store in Waco, Texas. What a treasure those were! Thank you again for all that y'all produce.
You can eyeball it as well. You may not feel that good the first several times you do it but you will start to get good at it. Working by eye was something that crafts people in the past did. Today people are obsessed with square and trying to get everything to be like an engineering project.
Paul, the edge of my bench lacks the depth to allow me to hang my saws this way. But I was able to use your hanger design to hang them on the wall little more than arm’s length away at the end of the bench. Thank you for this idea and all the others you share.
I hang mine on a wall and also have a portable holder that I can slot into my bench when I am working. You could make one with a sloped surface that you could set up on your bench when you are working so that you could set your saws on. I set mine into the tool well with the saws sitting up at an angle as I use the sides of my bench for clamping and dog holes.
Hmm, beech dowels have worked fine for me to hang tools. I don't mean the short ones (usually 40 mm) but cut to length from 10 mm beech dowel rod, so that there's plenty of dowel inside the wood. I also glue them in. If I want to get rid of them or change something, they can just be cut off with a flush-cut saw. The swivel lock is quite clever and looks nice, too. Definitely better than my three strategically placed dowels :)
Thanks for sharing. What works for me is wood cut to the inside shape of the saw handle. The top side of the holder is given an inside chamfer to stop the saw falling off when the table shakes. Rubber sheet stops the rattling. It take about the same time to make and has the added advantage of clearly marking what saw goes where.
Thanks for this informative video! This is a great solution to a problem I have frequently. It can really slow down work when I have to walk to the saw till to grab a saw for a quick trim up. I'll definitely implement a similar solution on my next bench!
Hello Paul, great tip on hanging the saws like that going to be picking up some fish tank airline tomorrow. By the way I have that exact same Dewalt drill I brought mine about 3yrs ago and its been great!
After finding, much to my delight, a variety of older hand saws at a secondhand store, this is just what I needed! The pegboard solution I tried wasn't to my liking.
I use a system similar to one of those knife blocks under my bench so I pull them up and out at an angle, I tried something like you have but for me it's more comfortable to be able to grab by the handle with a better grip
make sure your bench is rock solid if you hang your saws like this. My bench jumped when planing and my saw jumped off the hanger and crashed to the floor damaging the horn
Good day Paul! Thanks for another great video, was wondering if you would consider a video for storage of your sharpening stones and strop? Best regards -Lee
No. My bench vise is not flush as is a common practice these days. It protrudes out from the apron 1.5” which makes the vise much more functional. I’m never sure why woodworkers feel the need to clamp long boards to the apron. I never do that and never have.
Good day, You mentioned that all three of your dovetail saw are "un-negociable". I was wondering what makes the need for those 3 saw? What can a 14 inches do that a 10 inches can't do, and vice versa? A beginner wood worker that you helped off the couch
I like the idea, but I don't think I could put these here myself, I'd just end up hitting them with my leg every 2 minutes. I could just put them at the end of the bench I suppose.. And what about when you want to put a long piece of wood into the vice, don't they get in the way? I only built my bench a few weeks ago, and I already put a few holes in this area for dowels, to support long pieces, and I've already used them several times. Maybe there's a more sensible way to support large pieces that I haven't figured out yet.
Hang them on your wall and you could also create a portable bench hanger that you then use with your tool when working on something specific. Paul has several benches of different sizes and uses you may have different needs but the ideas Paul has can still be used by you in a different fashion.
Just curious - why do you need anything more than a simple stop to keep the saw from swinging back and forth? While the curved stop looks nice lined up with the handle, I'm trying to understand why it's necessary. A second screw/piping put in at the back side of the saw would do the same thing, and always be out of the way as you reach for the saw.
@Elie Kochman Pauls design stops the saw from jumping out when in use especially when banging the table. There are other designs you can use as well but Pauls is a simple natural design that works extremely well.

Another great video. Would anyone else be interested in Paul talking about his favourite tools and their history etc?
what a freaking legend
I bow to your skills and mild temperment
Simple but so clever. Such things are often born of years of experience. Thanks Paul.

"I'm just going to eyeball center" probably within .005 of actual center lol Love you Paul. You are a master of your craft.
You can eyeball it as well. You may not feel that good the first several times you do it but you will start to get good at it.
Working by eye was something that crafts people in the past did. Today people are obsessed with square and trying to get everything to be like an engineering project.
What a wonderful idea for keeping your 3 saws with you at the bench.
Thank you for sharing, and showing us all how to do this are selves
Simple and very useful.You have an easy solution for every shop annoying problem.Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge Paul.

Interesting because I made one that way but my saw fell off 😲. Although I didn't have rubber on it.
Elegant and effective. Thank you Mr. Sellers
how does he cut the round cuts with perfect ease and precision amazes me
AKESEBA 50 years of experience?
AKESEBA I was thinking the same thing. I am terrible with a coping saw. Maybe it’s the push stroke?
If you are used to Western saws, set it up for the push stroke, it will feel more natural when cutting. I do the same with my hacksaws.
Do it yourself many times and you will also have the skills. You cannot expect to work by eye if you do not actually do it.
I’m going to hang my saws like this.
Love this.
Your a true craftsman. 😊

Hello Paul, great tip on hanging the saws like that going to be picking up some fish tank airline tomorrow. By the way I have that exact same Dewalt drill I brought mine about 3yrs ago and its been great!
If only I had room for an actual workbench. Nice job on hanging those saws of yours.
Always so inspirational and educational

Amazing. Thanks for you all do, Paul.
Paul sellers please show us how you incorporate a draw into your workbench.
It's coming. Hang in there. It takes a lot of work to achieve all that we achieve but we are on our way.
I'm quite sure he will. And I'll be "tuned in". Mine is long enough for two draws I'm sure.
It's on the way Jason
Simple, beautiful....
Cheers from America
Looks quite solid, I feel like getting on my shop and make them...later
Brilliant and simple.
make sure your bench is rock solid if you hang your saws like this. My bench jumped when planing and my saw jumped off the hanger and crashed to the floor damaging the horn
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea! Thank you
Mas excelente! Now I know where to put my saws. Would that they were so nice as those.
Thanks Paul.
Good day Paul!
Thanks for another great video, was wondering if you would consider a video for storage of your sharpening stones and strop? Best regards
-Lee
We have a video on this coming up early next month. Watch out for it on my TH-cam channel.
Use two square hooks for each saw. Super simple and works great!
Simple but very effective
Ótimo trabalho, parabéns!
awesome tip
How do you edge plane longer boards with your handsaws on the right side of your bench? Wouldn’t the saws interfere?
No. My bench vise is not flush as is a common practice these days. It protrudes out from the apron 1.5” which makes the vise much more functional. I’m never sure why woodworkers feel the need to clamp long boards to the apron. I never do that and never have.
love your work . thanks🔨👌
Ok, I've finally solved the riddle. I watched the build out of sequence and all of my guesses as to the purpose of these things were wrong.
Simple, but as alway, impressed. How do you do it. Just keep it up.
Great stuff.
What brand of RASP are you using?
Brilliant
Good day,
You mentioned that all three of your dovetail saw are "un-negociable". I was wondering what makes the need for those 3 saw? What can a 14 inches do that a 10 inches can't do, and vice versa?
A beginner wood worker that you helped off the couch
Mostly is to do with weight and saw size appropriate to the work. Small saws for small work, larger saws for heavier work. Simple as that.
A man after my own heart . I wouldn't discard a sliver of sapele in my shop , lest I should need to fashion a toothpick or some such .
What do you think of drilling a 6mm hole in the saw plate paul so it can hang on a nail .?
I would never drill a saw plate. There are many no-nos in life and this is one of them.
I like the idea, but I don't think I could put these here myself, I'd just end up hitting them with my leg every 2 minutes. I could just put them at the end of the bench I suppose..

Not saying my way is the only way. Just a good way that has always worked so well for me and looks nice to boot. No one has to do it. Just sharing.
Style points yo.
Maybe mine was position incorrectly but I found my saw fell off when I was planing when I used screws alone.
@Elie Kochman
Pauls design stops the saw from jumping out when in use especially when banging the table.

Do what is in the future drawer?
What kind of wood are you using? I know that you say it at 9:10, but I can't make it out and googling didn't help
Sapele. (www.wood-database.com/sapele/)
Good idea mate, also can't u turn the saw round so teeth don't touch each other mate
They don't touch each other at all so if it ain't broke.... Having all saws oriented the same way is important for-pick up and put-back.
I doubt his saws touch eachother, it's probably down to economy of motion when you reach for a saw and it's always facing the same way.
What rasp is that ???
I use both Logier and Auriou.
Carbonite Gamorrean probably an Auriou. www.forge-de-saint-juery.com
Thx, that confirms what I thought, but had to ask considering it was in Paul's hands..
Wait, how about putting a screw through a dowel into the workbench........Hmmmmmmmmmm...
Whats wrong with the cushioning virtue of the non-cracking/splitting tube?
You could put a screw into a dowel or even a stone with a hole in it if you really wanted to. Rubber is also a good edition as well.
