  • It takes a master woodworker to teach the basics. Watch Paul's every move in this video. He shows every single detail of cutting this essential woodworking joint. This is one of the three joints that Paul talks about in his woodworking curriculum.
    The housing dado is the essential shelving joint. It is the strongest way suspend a wide horizontal board by passing it into a vertical piece such as a bookshelf. It has many other uses, such as the back of a drawer. Although there are many variations on a theme with this joint mastering the most simple form is the most difficult and important step.

      I have finally found the best woodworking channel on TH-cam. You don't overly rely on power tools, which saved me from losing interest in the craft since almost every other channel I would see would say you need all of these large, fancy, bolted down machines. Im only 13 and teaching myself with videos, so this is very good for a novice as well as an expert. Thanks Paul.

      The Gaming Ostrich Same here. I live in a flat, so there's no way I can have something resembling a proper workshop. I have to buy wood already cut to size and then...improvise. These videos open up the possibility to actually built something that isn't just held together by screws and brackets!

    I am so thankful Paul is passing his knowledge on to us! Not everyone has the monetary means or space for a bunch of power tools. Furthermore, this is an artistry in itself, and Paul breaths fresh life back into the word "craftsman." A little math, a sharp iron, and some patience and skill can go a long way. I live in Germany and found the exact chisels from the "how to sharpen a woodworking chisel" at the hardware store and got so excited! Used the same method with my 25 euro wooden hand plane and now I'm all sharpened up, making curly little frills of wood, and ready to join some wood without reaching for the kreg jig!

    Your work is wonderful, as is your calm and reassuring presentation. I anxiously await your videos, checking constantly for them; and, even after working wood as a hobbyist for 40+ years, I never fail to learn something novel from you, finding myself saying quietly, "He's such a master; wish I could have apprenticed under him." Thanks sincerely for your time and energy in sharing these beautiful videos, Paul.

    You are amazing! You make it look so easy but it is way more difficult to get such clean and perfects cuts as you do. I am a 60 year old woman and new to wood working. I am taking a woodworking class over the internet and we are supposed to be using power tools but I am trying to cut my dados and rabbets by hand. So far they are not coming out so well but each time I have to do a new technique I look for your videos on it. I have watched the chisel sharpening videos and I now try to sharpen my tools although my tools are not high quality. I get a little better at it each day. I used to get so frustrated when things don't go the way I want them to but now when I feel like that I stop and watch another one of your videos and it calms me down and I can start anew. I'm trying to work up the confidence to do dovetails but I still am confused by them. You are such an inspiration and I love your sense of humor. Thank you so much!

  • @ehisey
    @ehisey 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The more I watch clips like this the less and less need I see of tuning all my power hand tools. The time spent setting up a jig and clamping everything for the cuts followed by clean up, is about the same as by hand. Hand tooling is clean and more satisfying. (Also really could have used this about 3 days ago)

    • @Swarm509
      @Swarm509 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed, especially for hobby level work or low production. Machine work just allows for larger scale production, and it could be argued less "skill" as you can rely on the machine more. Each has their place.

    • @bighands69
      @bighands69 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      When it comes to starting out all you need is cheap set of chisels, hand plane, hammer and hand saw.
      Those four basic sets of tools can really get you started. Hand tool woodworking is a declining art and if you can get good at that you will be able to make things that people using machines cannot.

    "Share your knowledge and skills, don't bore St. Peter with them"-ish.
    Heard that quote (paraphrasing, hence the "ish") on Just Plane Fun (Micheal Jenkins) the other day, and Paul certainly delivers this mantra. So many viewers talk about wishing they could appreciate under Paul --yes, that would be totally awesome --but in a way he IS apprenticing people, every day. Watching his videos, it's similar in dynamic to taking an online class. If you are a motivated sort of person who can focus on the task at hand (aside from life distractions that are largely out of our control) you will do well. In my apprenticeship, I often heard "I can't teach you everything I know. You'll take my job." Legit, I heard that alot. No joke. Paul is opposite tho. He doesn't need to belittle people on account of his craft mastery, he simply shares his knowledge and skills. This is a contented person. A total joy to be a part of 😢 frfr

    I am always impressed with your teaching. You seem to cut straight to the core, and simplify what many others complicate. I have always wanted to do wood working, but didn't because I didn't have space for all those big machines, and I couldn't justify the cost. I have found a couple of old planes, chisels, saws, and braces in what has been gathered from family members, but have to sharpen and restore many. I still need to build a suitable bench that will fit my area, and learn to put a better edge on the tools, but I think I have all the tools I need to get started. Many thanks for helping change my perspective, and more.
