I bought a Mitre box years ago. It was sloppy where the saw guides were but I stuck some duct tape on one side of the channel to remove the sloppiness. It works a treat I made this too and it’s very accurate. Thank you

It's nice to see a craftsman at work and I have no doubt that his skill is beyond reproach, but it does seem a very long-winded way to make a simple frame, additionally, one can see end grain on every corner due to the method of construction, which is certainly not attractive and not how picture frames are normally made using mitred corners which are quicker, look so much better and can be just as strong.

Love your work Paul But imagine going on a country walk, maybe a picnic basket with you, trotting along lush green walkways… And to your shock, stood stoically, there’s a bearded man with a huge red glove, hair-drying an empty BBQ while talking to himself 😂😂

Well done Sir. Prayers for you.

I worked for the first time on pine and same soft woods with a lots of knots and got confident. Now I tried some maple just to see and it seems to be a LOT different thing. I got the plane to take the more wood I can and it still... not doing much or just tear the thing inside too much. I guess when you get into HARD wood you need to get a different angle but can't be sure if I need to be more parallel of more perpendicular with the blade sharpening. Hard to tell. As I seen, being more perpendicular sharpening (like 20,22,25) was helping a lot and then it was just about adjustments but I feel like I need more angle like 25,27,30 because the wood just bite too much on hard woods with lower angles. If someone knows about it and read it please tell me which one I should go (lower or higher angle). I just have one blade right now and I'm pretty poor so it would help a lot to figure it out. Thanks

Many thanks for this superbly simple, yet comprehensive, upload.

Saved me 780 bucks on a Festool Planer !🎉

You were attacked? By someone? What happened? I'm glad you're ok now. Gratings from IL USA.

Why the threaded inserts?

Being a complete idiot with regards to plane usage I had assumed this angle adjustment was used if you need to take off more wood on one side, for example to create a slope towards the edge of the piece of wood, it worked for me, but seems this is a complete misuse of the tool! I only found out when I borrowed an electric planer from a guy and asked him how come there is no angle adjustment for the blade like a hand plane? he explained as per Paul's explanation... You live and learn.

Saving this one to my favorites list. Thank you.

Close those shears and look between the two blades. If you see daylight one or both blades are bent and no amount of sharpening will help.

“Wanna” is cringeworthy.

after hours of googling and over-thinking 'what is the BEST chisel?', just a good old Paul Sellers video will get you're feet back on ground and remind you that just a simple set of chisels will surely get you going.

Im not sure it is the best router plane. perhaps there are two home built types. In my humble opinion the front edge of this essential tool should be straight not curved. This enables the user to pivot the plane upwards whilst using taking the back edge of the plane off the job. This allows the user to set the final depth of cut but to creep up on it and lower the depth of cut by pivoting up on the front edge and then making progressive deeper cuts. Yes it does change the geometry of the cutting slightly to the job, but it works. Home made router plane aka 'The old mother's tooth'

Lovely to have you back and on the mend Paul 🙂

"This is a lot of clamps, you don't need all those".. Shhhhhh, yes you do! =)

Three years later, I was fortunate enough to catch this video! Thanks for sharing your hand tool expertise and creativity, Paul. Beautiful results! Hope that you fully recover soon!

Also try to get the grain on the plug going in the same direction as the wood

Grub screw, not set screw. We're British, not Yanks.

I made my first dovetails today thanks to you. Its easy to find people who know a lot about a craft, its had to find someone that knows a lot and knows how to pass knowledge, and its even harder to find someone that can do that with humbleness and enjoyment. Your videos are a treasure, thank you for your hard work and for teaching people all arround the world. With love from Argentina.

Great to have you back.

Legendary master 👏🏻

So I came across another video of yours (shaker picture frame), but it was pay walled behind some membership thingy? When did that happen? Glad your healing up well, great videos. Best

Paul, I know this was posted years ago and maybe you won't ever see the comment, but I cannot express the joy I get from making a functional tool like this. Started the project yesterday and by this afternoon was able to fiddle with it enough to try it out- and I was ecstatic. This sort of project is wonderful- and I truly appreciate your "use what you have" approach.

I truely wish that you will go better in commlng days i am very thankfull for what you do. Merci beaucoup et bon rétablissement. Eric

Glad for your recovery and your determination in getting back to work. I have a question: You’re using a jig to plane to a desired thickness. How do you avoid planing the tracks of your jig while planing the workpiece? Did you grind a special plane iron to accomplish this?😊

Chuffed to bits that you're back in the workshop!

I can't say what i want to say but i hope they do this guy , and wish you a speedy recovery ,

Great torture video.

Thanks!!!

I'm 66 and just had a triple bypass, recovery takes time hang in there it gets better

excellent improvements, Paul. I will doing this to some clamps I bought.

Big hugs Paul, try taking it easy on. yourself, sending all my best wishes to you and your family

Hange on. Now you have to sell us the poster. Glad you are feeling better.

Great work paul

Good job. But the set screw stuff totally eludes me. My first thought would have been dowels, as others have mentioned. Much simpler. But then, what do I know? OK, the steel will help it survive a war. Anyway, good job.

With those nails it will be impossible to change something in the future without breaking it…

This video is excellent Shows the easy and best way of sharpening Thank you😊😊😊

Paul I am glad that you're on the mend

Very nice. I have never seen those screws before. Why not use dowels instead?

Glad your on mend would hate to see the day you give up doing your you tube projects what finish are your going to use on frame many thanks for sharing all your work with us you are a great inspiration

Thank you, you always solve the problems in a very easy way.

The prop in the middle to keep it from bowing inward is a great trick

Why don’t you use wooden dowel pins in the corners + a little glue?

Indeed, the bitch of broken ribs is just expanding the diafram enough to get air in and out! Glad to see you on the mend, Paul!

I would think that a dowel would do the job.

Did they ever catch the bastard that pushed you off?

I find the headless allen screw a bit complicated, but understand that it looks neater with only a hole. I usually use an electro-galvanized T20 construction screw with pre-drilling and counter-sinking. Placed correctly and not counter-sunk too deep the silver shine of the screw head goes well with the light yellow of the wood. Great work on the frame, though. I definitely learned a lot.
