Paul Sellers, everyone needs to give him praise especially right now. He was assaulted while out riding his bike and was pretty messed up. A few broken ribs and such, why people act like this is amazing to me. Shout out to Paul to get better and everyone in the woodworking world is pulling for him.
Paul Sellers needs to stay strapped. He should have stayed in Texas. They let you do that there.
@@1pcfredRight, so then he might have been killed.
@@Stashmo how is defending yourself somehow more dangerous than being a passive victim? He might have neutralized the threat too. There's a fair chance of that when there's parity between combatants.
We all should be armed while out for a leisurely bike ride.
@@Stashmo you'd think the police are there to protect us and in general they are. That doesn't mean they have an obligation or duty to protect specific individuals though. Which means you're personally responsible for your own safety. So if you don't want to be a victim then you'd best defend yourself when you need to.
It is almost as satisfying to watch and hear a sharp chisel as it is to use one. Nice demo. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
You are the Bob Ross of woodworking!!
As someone who only has handtools and has the next project a bookshelf, this video is both timely and quite helpful. It's a good reminder that dados are not difficult, just delicate. Thank you for making this one, Eric.
I like that. Not difficult, just delicate. Well said!
I appreciate you showing your mistakes. Too often us mere mortals watch these videos wondering how it was done so perfectly. Humans make mistakes! Great instruction and now I know my next practice project. Thank you for making this.
Glad it was helpful!
Yet again some of the best TH-cam woodworking content that actually teaches those of us interested in the craft rather than "look at this shiny thing so I get views" junk. Greatly appreciated!
I absolutely ❤ Loved ❤ this video. Thank you.
No noise, no dust, no expensive machinery. Just pure hand tool bliss. Perfect.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Did you not notice the planer thicknesser and table saw then?
@@chrissilverhand1
I was referring to just this video.
@@skippylippy547 So was I. at 1:50 he waxes lyrical about just using hand tools and how he appreciates not everyone has the room or the money for expensive machinery and then he promptly goes over to his planer and tablesaw to prepare his timber So much for just hand tools.
If you want to see real hand tool only woodworking, might I suggest Tom Fidgen at The Unplugged Woodshop, or Wood By Wright.
@@chrissilverhand1 Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video mate. Very informative and pleasant to watch 👌I’ve never trained in woodworking so channels like yours are how I learn 🙏
Love watching you do handtool work! I spent half the video thinking "but what about a router plane??", then, lo and behold you pulled it out, and I cheered. Have a great day
haha glad I didn't dissapoint!
What about a power router? Zip, done.
I would LOVE more videos about about building with hand tools!! My dad and I always did woodworking projects when I was a kid and I'm excited about continuing it on now that I am an adult, but I have a small space, no workshop, etc. I am willing to put in the time to make things by hand (and honestly find it is really magic, and a soothing relief from my very noisy and digital weekday existence as a teacher!). I know it's old school, but I can't be the only one who is HERE for this!!
Thinking in millimeters is so much simpler. So much
A pleasure spending time with you as always dude 🤙
much obliged my friend.
For me, you just qualified yourself for another Emmy. Love to watch your presentations.
When the video came to a close, I realized I had been sitting there with a grin on my face. The teacher in you shines through and that is exactly why I keep coming back for more. For me, you have demystified the use of handtools and I have begun to incorporate it into my plans for a couple of future projects, and the shop has become littered with small practice pieces that previously would’ve gone to the scrap pile. Thank You!!!
It's not until times like watching you math the shoulders, that I truly appreciate the metric system. I work in both because my mum refuses to learn the simple metric system, but for anything I'm doing alone it's metric all the way!
Always fun to need to swap between metric and imperial for a project.
Hahaha I work in both. Used to metric from years in cabinet shops and dealing with clients from all over. But I still love imperial for no good reason!
@tektrixter a project? Nope every time my mum gives me a measurement when wanting to buy something since all our shops are metric! Drives me mad but I gave up that fight years ago
@ENCurtis I think you'd confuse a lot of your audience if you used metric. Might make a fun April fools though
@@ENCurtis you're not old enough to have ever used Imperial. You use Standard. An Imperial inch isn't precisely 2.54 centimeters, a Standard inch is. Now granted you can't actually see the difference between an Imperial and a Standard inch, but it's there. You can't see atoms and molecules either. That doesn't mean they're not there. Just you have lousy eyes.
I enjoy the simple no nonsense approach just this is how to do it
Much obliged!
Nice job explaining the different processes young man. Erik. you are becoming a fine teacher. Always enjoy these types of videos. Semper Fi bud.
Thank you my good man. Much obliged!
I like when you mention at the end good enough for hand tool joinery, what I often refer to as acceptable tolerance.
I like that phrasing!
Whenever I royally mess something up I always say, That's the beauty of handmade. Right before I scrap what I'm working on and start over.
Thanks Eric. Love your style and methods. Take care & stay safe.
Thank you!
Ooh, that off-handed comment at the end, about using double-stick tape, was golden. I've already switched to that tape as the answer for getting my work piece in EXACTLY the right place on my table saw sled (and have it STAY there)...and now I've got an extension of that "technique". Thanks!
Double stick is one of the best, oft overlooked inventions for the woodworker!
As a machinist my solution to everything is double sided tape. In reality, I don't think I have ever even seen double sided tape in my life. Maybe I should buy some to play around with.
This is by far my favorite channel. I look forward to these saturday mornings. It's a sin you don't have more subs.
Super helpful (informative, camera view) and enjoyable (learning, neither too formal nor too informal). Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it Chris. Thanks.
On the topic of double-stick tape, I just used that to do like a dozen bowtie inlays (for visual interest) on a set of walnut shelves I'm building for a client's kitchen.
I’m getting closer and closer to starting hand cut joinery and whenever I watch your videos I want to buy a new tool. Thank you for the lesson, you are an excellent teacher, sir.
You are so welcome!
A bear that always only walks halfway out of his cave never gets outside. But he does keep getting closer and closer.
Very nice video, channeling your inner Bob Ross and making "happy little dados". Thanks.
“We’re gonna call that the back of the cabinet” had me dying. I’ve done that too many times on oopsies 😂😂
Man… I have a TON of back of the cabinet boards lying around!
@@Andi.Mitchell.Designs I was building me a lure turner yesterday because I airbrush baits and had some scrap wood laying around. Needless to say I made a uh-oh and just turned it around. No one will ever notice. Ha
“Ugly side goes against the wall” 😂😂
Nothing to do with woodworking, but where did you get that coffee mug. It looks so cool.
I too want to know where this coffee cup badassness came from
Great teaching video, I agree with another comment, I’m not sure what’s more satisfying using a sharp hand tool or hearing a sharp hand tool cut
Totally agree!
Thanks Eric (Erik?) we appreciate your content!
Thank you!
another great video! I gotta save up and get myself a router plane. It'll probably be the next hand tool I get!
I’ve been watching your videos for quite sometime now. This is by far the most useful info for me because I use mostly hand tools all the time. Thank you so much!!
Nice work Dingus. :) Truthfully however, really enjoy these kinds of videos you do, and the way you exsplainify things so a doofus like me can understand them. It's inspiring - thanks.
Butternut is pretty easy to work. A bit soft for some applications, but for the ones where it does thrive, beautiful to work.
Used some for the shelves in an ash bookcase a while back & I'm still very happy with how that worked.
The bench dog vise is the Veritas Wonder Dog and there is a shorter one called the Wonder Pup
Yes! It's friggin brilliant.
They are good but I prefer holdfasts
Just getting to the end of making a plane till for my molding planes. Did about twenty dove tails for the bottom. A stopped dado for the upper shelf with through tenons all to just enjoy the work. The strangest thing is that they all fit, I don't think that has ever happened before. Love your videos, there is always a gem hidden in there.
Don't be so surprised! Sounds like you got a TON of practice in that project. Glad it went well!
Really enjoyed this video. I have the wonder dog and enjoy(ed) it. I picked up the quick release wonder dog and now the other sits lonely and abandoned under my bench. That quick release finding us brilliant.
"An award I won." Dude, it's a friggin Emmy. LOL
😂 touché
I love that modesty!
😊 Thank you for a clear demonstration of your skills
Coming from years of fine metal work into woodwork at retirement, can I thank you for your very clear videos that explain some of the confounding mystery that is working in wood. Awesome stuff.
Very nice, Eric. Went well with my morning coffee and oatmeal. Please demo your method for sliding dovetails. Thank you in advance.
Boy howdy that was a great video. This is what I am talking about. This is like we are in class and I really appreciate you being a human, making some mistakes but explaining how it’s done. Love this!!!!!!
Loved so much about this video. Excellent review of simple, well made, joinery. Reminded me how much I love my Veritas Hand Router. Keep up the work.
Truly helpful content, since you mentioned him, I'm also well aware of this skill taught by Paul but as you said, I think learning the same thing trough different teachers/masters definetly put yourself in a very sweet spot in the growing process.
Love it! More hand tool goodness plz 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I'm glad someone else uses an utility knife as their primary marking knife. I find it so much more convenient.
I don't even own one of those double bevel marking knives. I'm sure they're real nice and all. They don't call utility knives utility knives for nothing though. They're very utilitarian knives. I only ever change the blade when I snap one too. Otherwise I just keep sharpening it. You can call me cheap but I prefer the term, frugal.
Such a useful and pleasant video
Glad it was helpful!
With a beveled blade, I find it helps to always make the knife wall on the waste side of my square. The bevel knife can leave a “v” cut, with the v protruding into the show-side of the piece. It’s a little thing, but sometimes the little things make big differences.
If your marking gauge is sharp, use it as a router plane to get consistent depth to dado.
That's one of the reasons I usually put a shoulder on my dados. Covers a multitude of sins.
Love these tutorials, thankyou
Excellent lesson! I love working with butternut.
This is where I love a router plane. ;-) Thanks for the video.
Posted this literally, 15 secs before he pulled out the router plane. LOL!!! (note to self: watch all of it before commenting next time)
I think you are an excellent teacher….engaging personality and straightforward presentation.
Love me some Router Plane! Great video.
Thank You. I’ve watched Paul do that Full Width Dado more than once and have forgotten it at least that many times because I didn’t need it. But your video came at the perfect time while I’m making a tool organizer. I’ll never do what ever the heck I was doing and will remember this method forever. THANKS
Love hand tool videos. Really cool that you were able to learn from Paul Sellers and so many other legendary woodworkers. Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge with us.
Paul was a great teacher. I'm grateful for the opportunity.
Awesome as usual. Thank you!
Great information Thankyou!
Great video as always Erik if learning so much watching your videos Thanks for sharing
Excellent work and loving the vib of this video. Spring is on its way here in Canada as well and I’m excited for the possibilities it brings in the shop. Cheers.
Love your way of teaching. Your videos are so easy to watch and you don't hide your mistakes but let us see anyone can make them.
Thanks
You're a great teacher! Thanks!
Thank you Erik, very helpful. I really appreciate that you talk about your mistakes. Love my router plane!
This video is nicely done, thank you!
I love watching your videos, Erik. I learn so much. Your persona is wonderful, reminds me of our son. And your intro music brings me in.
Thank You Eric!
Great video!
Great,realistic videos that really teach. Thanks for the information, skill demonstration, tool use and just generally a great experience.
Glad you enjoyed it
Informative and fun. Thanks!
thank you EN
thanks Eric,nice teaching job
This was a really great intro video. Definitely going to make a few things this weekend.
Thanks!
I love that little husky utility knife: great feel, solid, compact. And cheap! Great choice
Great lesson! Not only showing the "wins" in making the joint, you showed the "loss" too. That's what good teachers do. Self depravation of admitting ones mistake and saying, "I'm the professional, and I still make mistakes" help relax the student to try and make the joint without fearing being a "loser and a failure'.
If you're not making mistakes then you're not making anything else either.
Love the sound of a sharp chisel. I was losing my mind watching you lay out the stopped dado! It happens . . . all the time.
Nice work fella, when I was an apprentice those router planes were referred to as,the grannies tooth
Outstanding love watching hand tool mastery Thanks again
Very welcome!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that makes silly mistakes because I'm not paying attention. Thanks for being real. 👍
I'll never not be a flawed human 👊
Another great one, Erik! Super helpful as I’ll be trying my first hand cut dadoes soon.
Glad it was helpful!
Table saw stack dado master race!
Great video
The last joint is exactly how i built my workbench, each joint has a place, all wood is not equal.
They were longer wider pieces and the joints were only a mil or two bigger than required so a very small taper with a handplane and unless you pull up precision measuring devices up to it you can't tell.
5:25 It's so important to recite the ancient incantation to insure that a thing secured remains secured. I'm glad to see that you know of the old and true magic. lol
😂😂 Listen we all know woodworking is basically black magic already...
Indeed
Every time I use a nice piece of butternut, I always think I butternut mess this up
I'll see myself out, nice vid :)
I used a router plane for the first time at the Austin School of Furniture and thought, oh, I need to have one of these forever. Picked up the same one they had (Veritas), and your video has made want to go out to the shop just to router plane some stuff.
I really enjoyed the hand tool demo that starts by running the wood through a joiner, planer and table saw. See, hand tool woodworking is easy!
{facepalm}
Yeah, I caught that and chuckled!
Fairly, though, flattening by hand sucks, and is kind of a waste of time in 2024. Know how? Sure, fine. Useful for smaller bits. Doing a whole panel, though? Oh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiilllll no. :)
I love you teaching method. Is there any way you could go over a tusked mortis and tenon?
Also, can you go over expansion and contraction of material especially concerning when, where and what to glue, screw or whatever.
Due to bad modern influence, overcomplification (..., apathy and procrastination (!) ) I´ve been over-powertooling "my needs" all life. I like your direction. I hope for more
Several comments, most, most positive. You credited Professor Sellers. I have seen many even prominent woodworkers who don't and even change the name of the "knife wall" to avoid doing so. Kudos. YOU STUDIED WITH PAUL SELLERS!!!! I am green with envy. Andy Rawls did as well and credits him often. AND, like Andy, you keep it clean!! Unlike so many who don't "Whisper" but interject inuendo and foul language. I know I can let my 8 yo and 10 yo watch your channel to learn woodworking, as we do with Professor Sellers. For me, you have joined Andy, Pedulla, Sawyer, Keith Johnson, Blake Webber and of course Charles Neil and David Charlesworth (RIP) as a favorite. But you are too PC, it is a generation thing I guess. I loved the skiing vid, been there done that painfully. Cordially, your friend, David McGuinn
Nice work
I am not a woodworker but have been a machinist since the early '90s. When you start laying out the thickness lines for the second stop-dado I was very confused. Thank you for clearing that up right away so I don't feel like an idiot here.
Wearing that same shirt, at the shop this morning at 6:30, eating breakfast watching this video... then off to make cabinets with dado'ed dividers. #timely. :)
thanks
It may be a long while before I use any of these techniques but weirdly, I really enjoyed this video. Thanks Eric!
Something we have the luxury of in modern times is the heat gun, and hide glue, for filling slack joints (which can be dis-assembled, easily 🙌
Time to teach that master class at Maker Camp this year!
truly loved this demo. I feel more confident in attempting this. Shot count on how many times you said "glorious." LOL
It WAS glorious though! haha glad you enjoyed it!
Great video as usual!
Any chance of a video with Mr Sellers?
Really enjoy both of your styles!
I only recently (finally!) got a router plane; what a wonderful tool.
I setting up,a cut line with a knife and chisel is not new, it is a new technique, but one that goes back more than 100 years, and my uncle taught me this technique 50 years agp, and my great uncle taught him the same procedure 30+ years before that.
Cheers
The first carpentry job I had was for a contractor who loved Japanese tools, he started me out cutting 2x2 balusters for a railing with a hand saw, he checked each one for square and I think I messed up a little on each one, but over the years I got to where I could cut square every time, so practice is key, but I also noticed that my approach had changed, the way a engaged the saw, and to my surprise these techniques transfer between power and hand tools, which may explain why I’ve never encountered kick back with any tool, I got used to applying good technique from hand tools and brought that over to the power tool, and thank you Erick for leaving the origin out of the video!!! That tool takes so much away from woodworking that it makes me sick
Different strokes for different folks, and I find the Origin quite useful in my business. But there are absolutely applications for nothing more than a bit of sharp steel and some meditation.
11:29 You can see the board mirrored in the saw blade. Only in vertical position its a straight line.
your part about it not being _exactly the correct size_ reminds me of a thought I've had from watching a lot of wood working vids. some people seem to think that unless the work is as exact as possible, it's not worth doing or it'll fall apart. guess these people think woodworking & stone working were invented in the last 40 years, because the shear number of things I've seen responding to people saying something to the effect of "but it's not exact" with "well, I made the one thing fit the other. IDK what the exact measurements are" is quite large
Wait a second.
at the end of your opening monolog, you asked the question: paraphrase 'How does a person without room/access to machinery cut a dado?'.
The very next scene, background guitar, and base, you are jointing and planning wood at near industrial strength machine stations?
