- This and part one ( • How to make Winding St... ) have been released as part of the celebration of this channel reaching 100K subscribers. Thank you all for your support!
To finish off the winding sticks, Paul cuts and fits the piece for contrasting top edge before gluing it in place. Then the light coloured inserts require some very careful cutting and recessing. With those done Paul cleans up the winding sticks before making sure they are the same size and applying a finish.

I love this man, two forty minute videos on making two sticks, and you learn more than in a years worth of school!!!
please ignore the "shorten the videos" messages. There is so much information in your videos and they are all an absolute delight to watch.
I agree with you. This channel is for patient people any ways..not for speedy boys.
I've been putting off watching these two videos for months now. I thought that there was no reason for them to be 1h20m, but I'm so glad that I finally watched them. So many little tips. Watching these felt like meditation. I don't know if you are just this calm in videos or all the time but I hope one day to find the peace that you resinate.
"That's close enough for an Englishman."
That made me laugh.
Hi Paul, thanks very much for all your videos. One of the things I love is the sedate, calm, and confident pace at which you speak and work. Also the sounds of the planes on wood, and the sounds of different types of saw - they all "speak", and are educational in themselves. Please pay no attention to the "edit your videos to make them shorter!" brigade - these beautiful details would be lost if the videos were edited any further. If people want shorter video, they can fast forward. Thanks again!
Kosmos Horology You copy my thoughts exactly, I'd give Two thumbs up but the server allows only Once.

Hear hear. And no music :-D
"Close enough for an Englishman..." Understated as ever Mr. Sellers. I made a set today and I never thought I could make something so beautiful. With your guidance I have. Thank you.
25:14 Close enough for an Englishman. You are just as delightful to listen to as a You are to watch.

"I always say I'm going to take one and then take two."
That is like me and cookies.
Excellent woodworking skills, of course, but i have to applaud the camera work again. great job and the highlighting of winding sticks in use at the end was very well done.
How to turn two straight pieces of wood into a masterpiece. Those seven dislikers are not Englishmen.
I appreciate how you make allowances for people like me who are just starting out in woodworking in terms of giving alternatives to expensive tools. It allows one to pace oneself in gathering our collection instead of being overwhelmed and discouraged by the upfront cost. Also in your explanation there is little assuming what one should know already because you give it in the presentation. In time limited commercial television shows steps are edited out.
i like watching paul sellers bc he does woodworking the way the finest craftsman have done it for centuries. also without choking on sawdust or having to buy expensive dust collection system.
I just made a set from oak and walnut. I used these videos as a guide. I absolutely love them!
Wonderful - a useful corrective to You Tube complete project in 7.5 mins - watching a craftsman is never boring, whatever they are doing - always something new to see and learn - Thank you, Paul.
Absolutely brilliant ! in today's world of "power tooling" through woodworking this is where the real skill lies....
I've read through the comments and I agree that your working, your voice and the singing of your tools is a meditation. I would love to see more hour long two parters like this I just get so much out of watching you strive for perfection a shaving at a time. Thanks Paul and team.
Paul, you are absolutely one of my favorite woodworkers and instructors. Your videos have always inspired me to keep learning. I am 52yrs old and only got back into woodworking a year ago. Thank you so much for all you do. You inspire!
Paul, your videos are so much better than books. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world.
Hello Mr. Sellers,
I used to be very big on using machines to do everything till I ran into situations where machines cannot do the job so I started watching various videos from your channel and I must say I am extremely impressed with your deep knowledge and understanding of wood and how to machine it by using hand tools. Now, I have invested in top hand made planes and learned how to sharpen planes and chisels and can hardly wait to duplicate your technique for flattening warped boards.
I am very grateful for all your hard work in educating people like me on how do things using simple hand tools. I have read many books over the years and learned very little compared to watching masters like you.
Keep up the good work and look forward to watching more videos from your channel.
Thank you,
AJ
Love the way you made the two birch inlays! Sort of crafty I love Paul. Thanks, a good video - and no piano keys were harmed in the making!
I agree with Drew that "shorten the video" should be ignored. I tend to watch most wood working videos on TH-cam at 2x speed as they drone on and on and have endless product placements, but never Paul Sellers. Watching his videos at 1x speed is therapeutic. He has such a pacing and cadence that soothes the soul.
Bloody awesome thank you Paul . you have educated an Aussie I bet you make the cricket bats over there . thats why you flog us !!! cheers mate
Thanks for another superb presentation.
Wow. You are truly amazing. You are a craftsman and a born teacher. Thank you for passing along a lifetime of skill. We are very fortunate to have you. Thank you.
Great project. Thanks for sharing, Steve
That was a beautiful series of 2 videos.Thanks Paul.
Really enjoyed. Thanks again!
Paul, your videos are so educational. They not only teach skills but patience, patience and appreciation that it takes time and care to compete even these 'little' projects. I have learnt so much in the last three months, the vast majority down to you. Many thanks.
Congratulations, Paul!
Makes me proud to be English. Love the useful detail in your videos Paul. Wish I could have been in one of your classes.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
now , I just wish I had some ebony.. none growed around me here.. doh!
time to go and break someone's piano apart.. hehehhehe
years ago my friends and I found a falling down abandoned house in the middle of the woods there was a falling apart old harpsichord in it... I really wish I had "salvaged" the thing. I would about be willing to bet the keys where actual ebony and ivory
The compliments are verbally insufficient to express our gratitude to you and the associated staff in producing such instructive and very helpful videos. Please continue the way and manner in which you are doing. I am now retired and finally getting to go after my second love; woodworking. Since I am between two worlds; the power tools and the hand tools, your videos are helping me and many others to really get into this puristic I believe, woodworking, Thank you profusely and please continue.
Thank you Paul.
Excellent video series. Thanks.
Appreciate your demonstrating the different options for cutting!
One of your BEST videos! Thanks...
They're beautiful. Thank you Paul, I love them.
Thank you Mr. Sellers!
This video will last forever because of the very useful information and lot of technique and science there.. 👍👍
Thank you is not enough for sharing your experience with us.
Waiting for all the glue ups. Thanks for all you do!!
Nice job, great tutorial - tool for life!
Thanks for all the great videos. You are a master teacher as well as craftsman. Congratulations on subscribers.
Thank you very much for you videos. They just put a smile on my face. This is an art - no doubt about that.
Wonderful thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, all the best.
Great video....just what I needed to make for my next project, I'm at that point in my project that i need them...thxs Paul!
Congratulations on the milestone, and a lovely pair of videos, learned quite a bit from just two, now i'll have to backtrack and see them all. :)
I'm just in awe!
Thanks Paul, You've given me a whole new outlook on real Craftsmanship. I will be putting your lessons into action, All the Best to you !
Working on my pair now, in walnut with maple inlays.
Very nice. I will be making me some. Thanks
beautiful - thanks
Thanks so much for all your vidéo, i think this is the best woodworking TH-cam Channel...... don’t change anythings
Beautiful job good sir
I love your videos. The ease at which you manipulate the tools and the wood is astounding. If i had another hand i would give you 3 thumbs up. I would ask though for more videos on tool making such as a marking gauge and cutting gauge.
Paul, your videos are very informative with great detailed instruction. Plus I am often laughing at your comments whether you mean to be funny or not. Very, very good vids!!
Lovely video Paul - as usual. These remind me of the winding sticks we had at school when I was a boy sixty years ago. I think ours were rosewood, and one variation on one of your sets was that where you have two holes through both sticks we had pegs in one stick that held them together when not in use. Cheers.
Nice. Thank you.
excellent presentation of using winding sticks. Paul you are certainly a master woodworker. I have learned much from your excellent teaching. Thank you so much.
A delight to watch, wish I lived in UK and could meet up for a cuppa!
This is a wonderful video. I made a pair that are 24” long. They turned out beautiful. I am working on a pair that are 48” long.
Super!
Thanks Master Paul Sellers (and team).
One note: the measurements in the video are outside the background square :).
awesome
Paul, it just flashed in my mind, I never saw you using a traditional "bow" saw or, even better, build one.
Since we're talking about Western style tools, there is a great idea for a future tool to build and video :-)
Best.
Paul has several videos using a bowsaw, and a build video too.
I just found my weekend project, will probably use red oak and some birch ply for the light colored markers. Don't have access to any other woods where I live but what is at Lowes.
These techniques are the same as used for inlays & binding that I'm gonna use on my 1st 100% scratch guitar build.. Thanks for the knowledge Paul, I didn't learn much from my wood shop teacher in high school 35 years ago.. I often wonder what happened to Mr. Finger & how he lost the finger he was missing..
Merci !
Now I just need to figure out how to plane the sticks perfectly
Merci.
After watching this I went and bought Mahogany and ordered Ebony on Ebay. Now it is time to try this. My only criticism is that sometimes you are not very forthcoming on exact dimensions of the rough for many of your videos. Your white board showed 1 1/4" by 1 1/2" but it is really 1" by 1 1/4". For those of us that will resort to using some power tools and dealing with the kerf, that is important. Thanks for all your great videos. I hope to teach a class making your winding sticks.
thank you
They look great. I wish I hadn't bought aluminium ones now.
Autograph and do a giveaway on those great looking winding sticks.
The Master
great video ... now I simply must build a pair! (the best tools are the ones you make for yourself :) ... )
Congratulations on the milestone! A superb pair of videos.
I loved the increased number of super-closeups, it really helped see the techniques, and get a feel for what the work looks like. The videographer just needs to work a bit on managing the focus. The close ups are helpful, but they are often out of focus.
“It’s perfect, so I’ll allow it.”
Excellent teaching video. Camera work is top-notch as well, however, the audio could use a little boost as I am straining to hear everything even with the volume cranked up. At any rate, you have me hooked as a subscriber.
When are you going to start your new series about making of wooden planes with iron adjustable blade beds out from some Bailey style plane? I am very intrigued by the idea. I have some suggestions myself , buy you might already think of those so i will wait for the actual thing to see if i am smart or crazy.
I love your insider tips about manual woodworking. it is so refreshing not to se those thickness planer cnc stuff everywhere.
Outstanding video. But I'm distracted trying to count how many planes I can see in the workshop.
Me Too!! You just wonder how many are Bedrocks, Stanley, Bailey etc.
I need to clean a couple more of great grandpa's planes = #4 & #6
This is by FAR my favorite of Paul's workshops. His newest "set" doesn't give me the "at-home" feel that this shop projects.
Hi! Do you have any suggestions for making winding sicks without a woodworkers bench? I am wanting to make winding sticks to use to make my workbench! Thanks for the great videos!
I asked a question similar to this one recently, but I can't remember if it was on one of your videos. The amount of meticulous care you invest in this work - is it all strictly necessary for functionality, or is there also an element of "artist craftsmanship" involved? I don't in any way mean to be critical - I'm just trying to get a feel for how strongly the care correlates with the accurate operation of the sticks.
As an example, how much better does this design work than one where you just painted white rectangles on the sticks instead of inlaying white wood?
which shellac are you using? great video!!!
Is there a particular reason to use the beveled side of the sticks in? wouldn't making the inserts in the 90 degree angle side easier?
I understand the dot at the bottom as an aid in centering the stick placement. But did I miss a discussion of a functional purpose of the strip and dovetail inlays at the top of the sticks?
Hi paul and Joseph. I wondered if you could try make a poor mans router plane? I’ve seen some people’s attempts with an Allen key as the iron. But I would love to see “paul sellers developments” version 😉. I don’t own a router plane and feel it restricts me a little.so I’m considering buying one. But if paul could design and make one I’d love to follow along.ive seen his version with a chisel but that’s a bit crude as much as genius. I would love to see a mo e refined version.
Hi Gav. Paul has a video on how to make a poor man's hand router and you can find it at the following link. th-cam.com/video/B_2a_FwjAgk/w-d-xo.html - Team Paul
"That's close enough for an Englishman", well if it is close enough for you, Paul, it is close enough for me too.
When checking to see if they are the same as each other, shouldnt they be orientated in the position they will be used? If there is a slight taper to one of them, and they are put back to back to be checked for flush instead of back to face, that taper will be magnified X2 when in use making the sticks give a wrong reading. If making sticks with an angled face I would have done one inlay on the angled face and on the other stick place the inlay on the square face :)
Why is the inlay in the slanted side instead of the straight side? I think it would 1. Be easier to inlay in the straight side, an 2. I would use the straight side facing me, not the slanted one. No?
What is the name of the saw that is at 2:00? It's looks like it's made by Crown Tools cause of brass and what, Rosewood maybe?
I want to make a set of winding sticks but I'm going to have buy some stock Would 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 by 12 inches turning stock be an acceptable size? What about making a set 24 inches long?
Hello Paul, please advise which shellac do you use?
Doesnt planning leave a better finish than sandpaper? So how comes you used sand paper in the video? Was it for a key?
Usually, simply to give the top coat (shellac in this case) a better grip on the wood.
From a purely technical perspective, does it matter whether the sticks have the same height all the way or isn't it just that they need to be identical? Of course I would still go for the approach Paul took, just asking out of interest.
It does matter because if one of the winding sticks is ever so slightly skewed this can show the material as twisted when it’s actually not because of the discrepancy in height.
After sketching the optical axis and thinking about a bit more, I realised my mistake. It would only work if I had markers on both sticks on the same positions along their respective lengths, which seems impractical. So yes, better make them as square as possible :D
you mentioned in your video that you have a video on poor mans rebate plane.I looked for this video and cant seem to find it.could you please help.

I have it saved as a future project...
What for do you need so much planers?
SpanishOxid For planing.
hoplahey thanks, captain, but why so much?
SpanishOxid The tool for the occasion. As you have many bits in a modern screwdriver, so does he have many variations in his collection.
SpanishOxid Much planing.
SpanishOxid He has a school where he teaches these wonderful skills. One of the schools is in Wales where this is recorded. The other school is in the US.
Um, what do winding sticks wind? (this is a genuine request no joke)
They help detect twists in the wood so that you know whether your surface is flat or needs more planing. See here for an example (also by Paul): th-cam.com/video/m231_HKCOWs/w-d-xo.html
They make it easier to see winding, aka twist, in your boards. Cf. 37:10 or th-cam.com/video/m231_HKCOWs/w-d-xo.html
I'm just in awe!
