Master Sellers, Parting is such sweet sorrow. Not to worry, I will follow you no matter where you are. From the castle to Sylva & to wherever you're headed. I have been viewing your videos for almost 3 years now. I have gained an education from you like no other. To me, it doesn't matter where you are... it's the content you put out on TH-cam. I don't always comment and you may not even recognize my name. Just know that I, along with 270,000 people love you & wait with baited breath until your next video comes out. Wherever you are, bloom where you are planted. Until next week ... Love & prayers
Katrhleen, What a nice thing to say, so encouraging. It's not always easy doing what we do but I for one believe strongly that it is one of the best things we ever did. I love working with Joseph, Ellie, Izzie, Phil, Karla, Mark and Hannah so much. I don't know what I would do without them.
Well said! Thank you for putting to words what I am feeling. Mr Sellers I want to thank for sharing your journey with all of us. We will never truly know just how many lives you have touched in a positive way over the course of your lifetime. Not just those of us you touched directly either. My grandson has no idea who you are yet you have touched him through all of the woodwork projects I’ve made for him over the past few years. And my son has been touched by you through all the time he and I have spent working together on most of those projects as well. And don’t forget all of the other people touched due to all of the projects I’ve made for them. In my family you have already touched 4 generations of us and it has been wonderful. I was born in Essex but have spent most of my life in the States. I’m planning on returning for a visit in 2020, maybe I will be able to meet you in person and get a photo so my friends will know it’s true lol You have been blessed, you have blessed others and the world is a better place with you in it. Thank you sir Cheers mate.
Thank you for sharing. Most of all, words can not explain the appreation that I have for your work and the confidence I have from following your wood working process. My students and I thank you and we will never forget you. Good luck on the next chapter in your career.
How fortunate you are to have had the opportunity to work around Paul!!! So true, his processes work just like math, follow the basic rules and reap consistent results. He is also so supremely confident I think it just floats off of him onto others around him, even thousands of miles across the internet. Very good indeed! Best regards! - Bill
I had no idea of the collective creative project. When I would go to watch Mr. Sellers teach techniques of a master craftsman, I was never disappointed. It has kept me coming back and I have been able to incorporate some of the lessons taught. What a joy that is for me. Thank you!
Bravo. Thanks for sharing inner world of Sylva. Today I saw Paul Sellers the man rather than Paul Sellers the master craftsman. And I really like them both. See you next time.
Thank you, Mr. Sellers, for giving us encouragement, direction, instruction, and your friendship. I am grateful for your teaching ability and always look forward to the time when I spend time with you. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
This broadcast reminded me of the human side of wood working and showed the pleasure of camaraderie and friendship. It appears to have grown in a community of "gentle souls." We really can get along in this world in a joyous way and express our creativity! This episode highlighted the warmth you demonstrate. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your skills and encouragement.
Paul that’s great. There aren’t enough places like that in the world. The inspiration, sharing of knowledge, and just flat out good friends helping friends. Thank you for sharing
That is so nice discovering your community, this is such a bright exemple of what mankind is : each of us improve far more quickly in harmony when we are together with others, sharing knowledge in a daily way of life to reach happiness of life!
What a fantastic environment and community, it makes me want to be involved in something like that, I'm very envious. Sad to see that aspect of it come to a close but great to think of what is to come in the future. The very best of luck to everyone involved.
Nice to see what goes on behind the scenes and meet some other craftsfolk you've worked alongside. Enjoy your new digs and I look forward to continuing my education through your video offerings. They're always straightforward, practical, and well demonstrated.
You are realy a gentleman. Congratulations for your manner to say goodbye to all your colleagues from Sylva. Wich you to continue your great success in fhe new premises. Hope to hear from you soon.
Just watching some of your previous videos. This was my favourite as there has been some real progress with each and every neighbour of yours. Great video. I'd love to know what table saw Chris has at 9:28.
Mr Sellers, your experiences are a song of life. All those people show that if you really want to work and improve your lifestyle you can. Thanks for share the place. From argentine JOSÉ Luis
Looks like a group of people I’d fit in quite nicely with, best of luck to you Paul you’re a wonderful craftsman an outstanding teacher and a true gentleman !!!
What you have done (and are doing) is incredible and Sylva is the embodiment of that ethos. I found this particular video quite moving and it reminds me that .... who we are is just as important as what we do... I will surely continue learning from your videos . This is what the internet was made for ... thank you so much.🙏
Wow how good was this to see the knowledge and the friendship's that were made. Some very special people and great craftsmanship. But better still there life stories on how the use there talents and the love they have for what they are doing.Thanks Paul for sharing was very inspiring
Paul thank you so very much for sharing this with us. It certainly sounded like you had a great place to work and all the folks around were willing to help and pass on there knowledge. That would be a great place to work and learn. It gives me some renewed hope after seeing the gentlemen who was a dentist turned boat builder. I am hoping to be able to continue doing what I love after I retire. As you stated if I got it right, you never retire if you do what you love it just becomes easier to get up and go to work. thank you and I wish you and all the members of your crew all the best in the new place, I also look forward to more videos. Oh and this video was better quality then my 4k TV shows..
You can both see and feel the genuine mutually beneficial relationships that have formed here and it even brought a tear to my eye a couple of times. Glad that I had the opportunity to join you there for a day in November 2016 and look forward to the next stage in your new space.
I am a relatively new subscriber to your channel, so I am watching all of your videos of your move a few months after they were posted. I could make so many comments about this video, positive comments, but the one thing that keeps coming to my mind is that you were able to say goodbye to all of your great neighbors, people that share a mutual love for their craft and a respect for everyone else that work in the Sylva "community". The fact that you thought to share your goodbyes with us Is priceless and very much appreciated. As an automotive technician all my life, people would come and go all the time from the shops were I worked, and I also came and left a few too, but when someone left there wasn't much to it. There was help loading up tool chests and whatever else one had, a few handshakes with the guys and maybe a hug or two from the ladies, but that was it. They just drove off into the sunset, so to speak, and you usually never saw them again unless you ended up working at the same dealership later on. I hope that you are able to maintain contact with those that you built bonds with, because losing contact with them would be a great loss.
watching this in 2022 it reminds one that we never know what is round the corner. Mary from "Mary's chairs "made me think it when she said to Paul " its exciting 2018 I hope it's going to be ". And then Covid hit a year later putting a stop to a lot of peoples dreams, and indeed futures.
Paul I've had the privilege of watching your streams and learning from you and most of all the passion you have for woodworking. Even though we have never meet face to fave and the only communication we have ever had was through comment sections. I have felt as if we have had some sort of a friendship. I have grown to trust you when it comes to tools and of coarse the how to portion. Hand tools must always be used before power tools. I have had custom hand planes made and ship here from England and have plans for more, all because of you. Watching this stream and the way you did it and the introductions of the peole you have had a working relationship with, the saying of good dye was so emotional for me I can only imagine what it was like for you. Thank you for showing us yet another side of Paul Sellers and his friends. One day I hope to meet you my friend.
Mr Sellers I want to thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. We will never truly know just how many lives you have touched in a positive way over the course of your lifetime. Not just those of us you touched directly either. My grandson has no idea who you are yet you have touched him through all of the woodwork projects I’ve made for him over the past few years.

Thank you sir Cheers mate
Thank you Paul for a behind the scenes look. I also hadn't realized you left the castle. I wish you the best in your new location, and hope to keep watching your videos for many many years to come
It was lovely to see a recap on Sylva; such a shame that after the initial introduction a couple of years ago, little has been produced. Such a fascinating work space, surely worthy of more footage. I hope that the new arrangements continue to help provide the great content that Paul has produced in the past.
Having had the pleasure of (formerly) living near Sylva, and meeting many of the makers featured in this video, I can absolutely confirm they're a very genuine and friendly group. Definitely try to get to events at the site if you can. Hopefully we'll also be getting a video from Paul and the team on their new space too?
I absolutely enjoy your show Paul.I sometimes think I should be paying for the wealth of info.and skill you share.How anyone could thumb this down is beyond me.
I have noticed there are always about 9 thumbs down before the video could have been watched. But it's actually good for us because it validates authenticity with YT.
It's always sad when a chapter ends but there is a whole new and exciting one still to be written. Thanks for the journey. I wish you all the best in the future and look forward to the next chapter.
What a lovely video of a truly lovely place. There should be be more places like that, especially giving people the opportunity to learn what will eventually be a dying art and crafts if we don’t pass them on. Thank You Paul and all the best in your new place. I don’t quite know what the 11 morons who marked it down were expecting though.
Paul, I thought that you were working out of the States now, but from this entry it appears that you are more than set in the UK. Can you briefly explain your current activities. Thanks.
interesting perspectives of what it is to be a woodworker in modern times. I enjoyed listening what each of these people had to say sharing one big warehouse. Wishing them all good progress in their endeavours. But i have to make one negative comment about one guy's work who is commissioned to waste 11 trees each one ton or 11 ton of hardwood to make poles with some writting on them, That is one big waste shame on whoever paid and ordered that. I hate it when modern art decides that wasting natural ressources is okay. Just imagine the quantity of useful and decorative furniture those 11 tons of hardwood could have produced instead.
I hope you settle in your new place I hope you received my sticker and hope when you get settled in you could send me one of your stickers to put up in my workshop regards Colin
The "community" will miss you, I'm sure. Maybe every now and then they can take a break from their projects to visit with you "just 5 miles down the road". Community can be difficult to say good-bye to, but a whole new space to set up and continue your teaching from has to be a bit of a thrill, doesn't it? See you on your next video. Cheers.
I've assumed that it's silence. Having 7 (or so) other people working can create a fair bit of noise. I bet Paul has to politely ask everyone to stop the machine tools whilst he films.
Master Sellers,
Parting is such sweet sorrow. Not to worry, I will follow you no matter where you are. From the castle to Sylva & to wherever you're headed. I have been viewing your videos for almost 3 years now. I have gained an education from you like no other. To me, it doesn't matter where you are... it's the content you put out on TH-cam. I don't always comment and you may not even recognize my name. Just know that I, along with 270,000 people love you & wait with baited breath until your next video comes out. Wherever you are, bloom where you are planted. Until next week ...
Love & prayers
Katrhleen, What a nice thing to say, so encouraging. It's not always easy doing what we do but I for one believe strongly that it is one of the best things we ever did. I love working with Joseph, Ellie, Izzie, Phil, Karla, Mark and Hannah so much. I don't know what I would do without them.
Best comment ever. I can't add anything to it except to say, me too. :)
Well said! Thank you for putting to words what I am feeling.

Thank you sir
Cheers mate.
Thanks for taking us along, you are a teacher no mater where you are located. I'm grateful.
I think it's awesome that your goodbye to Sylva is and introduction to more craftsmen. Thank you for that Paul.
What a great place and awesome idea. Thank for sharing that with us Paul !!!
Such a pleasure to see all these humble, wonderful, creators! So excited for your new location, Paul. Thank you for this glimpse behind the scenes.
Very good. We need more of this because too many people do not know how to work with there hands. Thank you. I live in the U.s.
Thank you for sharing. Most of all, words can not explain the appreation that I have for your work and the confidence I have from following your wood working process. My students and I thank you and we will never forget you. Good luck on the next chapter in your career.

Very nice, Paul. Thanks for sharing! Best of success in your new digs!
Wonderful tour and interviews! Thanks for sharing Paul!
Dear Paul,
much power for the change, I'll keep on following you, on you tube and on masterclasses.
Special place, special growth, and very special people as a craftsmanship family!
Thank you, Mr. Sellers, for giving us encouragement, direction, instruction, and your friendship. I am grateful for your teaching ability and always look forward to the time when I spend time with you. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.

This was one of the best videos I have ever watched , so interesting . thank you Paul and please stay safe
A wonderful video Paul, Thank you very much for sharing.
Leaving can be sad but going some place new can be very exciting. Good luck.
This was so pleasing to watch. I love learning about craftsmen/women doing their craft.
Such a lovely video, thanks for sharing this.
Paul that’s great. There aren’t enough places like that in the world. The inspiration, sharing of knowledge, and just flat out good friends helping friends. Thank you for sharing

Wonderful video Paul. Thank you for sharing.
Looks like you got to work along side some really creative and passionate people. Thanks so much for sharing. Good luck with the move.
What a fantastic environment and community, it makes me want to be involved in something like that, I'm very envious. Sad to see that aspect of it come to a close but great to think of what is to come in the future. The very best of luck to everyone involved.
A great concept, trees to project. With conservation, tradition, education and life skills in the process. Two thumbs up and many, many gold stars
Nice to see what goes on behind the scenes and meet some other craftsfolk you've worked alongside. Enjoy your new digs and I look forward to continuing my education through your video offerings. They're always straightforward, practical, and well demonstrated.

You are realy a gentleman. Congratulations for your manner to say goodbye to all your colleagues from Sylva. Wich you to continue your great success in fhe new premises. Hope to hear from you soon.
When I watched your videos I had no idea where you were. This is so awesome and I’m sure it’s hard to leave. Love this, thanks Paul.
This place makes me happy by its existence. Thank you Paul, and everyone at Sylva.
Just watching some of your previous videos. This was my favourite as there has been some real progress with each and every neighbour of yours. Great video. I'd love to know what table saw Chris has at 9:28.
Excellent video....
As usual you seem to give the credit to others...i believe all would agree that you helped to bring this group "together."....
Thanks for all the inspiration!

What a great place, good luck with the move Paul.
This was a very cool video. I'm glad places like that exist and out makes me wonder about places like that near me. Thanks
Such a fascinating look at differently skilled craftspeople. Really enjoyed the video and good luck with the move!
All the best for the future
Thanks for all the vids can't wait to see the new setup
You can both see and feel the genuine mutually beneficial relationships that have formed here and it even brought a tear to my eye a couple of times.

Beautiful people doing beautiful works.

Hope the move goes well Paul, look forward to more of your quality teaching!
Sylva has done amazing things in the past two years. I can see where it is a difficult bitter sweet moment for you.
Thank you Paul for a behind the scenes look. I also hadn't realized you left the castle. I wish you the best in your new location, and hope to keep watching your videos for many many years to come

Absolutely brill!
What a great place and people :) ॐ
Best of luck with your new venture, looking forward to find out what it is.
Fantastic video. Great place to work:)
Best wishes for your new shop!
Thanks for sharing with us your life, even outside of being a sharp-chisel educator.
What a great story!
Nice to see that Sylva grew nicely. But the new place will be nice as well, and it is not that far down the road :)
Having had the pleasure of (formerly) living near Sylva, and meeting many of the makers featured in this video, I can absolutely confirm they're a very genuine and friendly group. Definitely try to get to events at the site if you can.
Hopefully we'll also be getting a video from Paul and the team on their new space too?
Stay tuned for that. It will come soon! - Team Paul -
Great news. Looking forward to it, and hope you're all settling in well.
Thanks Paul.

I have noticed there are always about 9 thumbs down before the video could have been watched. But it's actually good for us because it validates authenticity with YT.
I wish I had a place like this near me what a great idea
that place looks great, wonder if there's similar in the states....?...
I’m not sure why, but I wasn’t going to watch this video. I’m so glad I did!
It's always sad when a chapter ends but there is a whole new and exciting one still to be written. Thanks for the journey. I wish you all the best in the future and look forward to the next chapter.
Pity you hadn't done a few walk-around videos all along. I enjoyed seeing what your neighbors were up to.
Time, ah, that elusive thing time!
What a lovely video of a truly lovely place. There should be be more places like that, especially giving people the opportunity to learn what will eventually be a dying art and crafts if we don’t pass them on. Thank You Paul and all the best in your new place.
I don’t quite know what the 11 morons who marked it down were expecting though.
One person can certainly make a difference :) Where now Paul (5 miles away)?
Just realised thats the same location that Matt Estlea films at, small world.
Paul, I thought that you were working out of the States now, but from this entry it appears that you are more than set in the UK. Can you briefly explain your current activities. Thanks.
Hi Ian. Paul is set in the UK now. For more updates stay tuned. - Team Paul-
interesting perspectives of what it is to be a woodworker in modern times.
I enjoyed listening what each of these people had to say sharing one big warehouse. Wishing them all good progress in their endeavours.

See you on your next video. Cheers.
Wonder how many times he has thought 'I really need a bigger shop' @9:34 Bet he has a bruise.
What will the new premises offer that Sylva doesn’t and whereabouts are you moving to?
I've assumed that it's silence. Having 7 (or so) other people working can create a fair bit of noise. I bet Paul has to politely ask everyone to stop the machine tools whilst he films.
We need to expand and we already do not have the space we need for that with a dedicated noise-free environment to make our videos , write and work.
How does that square with your observation towards the end of the video that your new space is "unlikely to be any bigger than this"?
My guess is that it's his "film stage" that won't be much bigger.
Ashera poles?
Wait I'm confused... Wasn't your shop in a castle?
We left there at the end of 2017.
2017? It was 2015 right?
Sgian Dubh???
You cannae do a departing video without taking us to your new space Paul. ;)
It's in the works!
Are you long lost brothers?
Holy moly, I'm first.
I guess then you're the one to ask: what exactly is the "hot bench" they mentioned several times?
