Sawhorses by TimB
This is the final of the base to the undersides of my split top Roubo bench build. Throughout the build I used a pair of Paul’s sawhorse design which I had constructed just prior. In this photo, you can see all 400 lbs. of the bench resting on the horses.

Workshop Utility Table by Paul Mumford
The frame is made entirely of Australian hardwood reclaimed from a house demolition. Nice to work but rough on cutting edges. The table top and drawer front and bottom are made from ply offcuts. The frame has 30 M&T hints including the frame support for the drawer which are strengthened using draw bore.The drawer is dovetailed and bottom and divider secured using dados. #woodworkingmasterclasses

Craftsman-style Tool Carrier by David Cracknell
I wanted to make this a soon as I saw Paul’s video come out. I started it in France on holiday. They sell oak in E20 planks in Brico Depot. I bought a few cheap tenon saw of 12tpi from the store to cut the dovetails but they came out ok.The handle bar is made from a piece of pine, but this week I finished the tray with some tulip wood (poplar) that i had back in London. A splash of Danish and maybe some wax and brush to follow. Very happy with this. Thank you, Paul, for your skill sharing and infectious enthusiasm for fine, accurate work.

Workbench by Michael O’Brien
This is my work bench. It’s made from construction grade F17 hardwood (Vic Ash). It’s big and heavy, at just over 500 pounds. To deal with wood movement, the central core of the table (running lengthwise between the legs, and the end vise screws), is laminated MDF and Birch Ply. I then used half inch strips of Vic Ash as a “veneer” on the top and underside of the bench. I’ve been using it for almost one year, and its been excellent. I rarely need to move it, but when I do I use a car jack and a set of dollies. I use this method for moving all my shop machinery.

Tool Tote by Ben Ellenberger
This is cherry with an oak handle. I wanted to try doing a dovetailed box with compound angles. One side is vertical, the ends are set at one angle, and the other side is a slightly different angle.

Timber Frame Shed by D Boyle
Drawbored mortise and tenoned frame with wedged tenoned dovetailed tie beams. Made from green oak beams (which initially ruined my planes but quickly learned about tannins in green oak!). Set on a base from bricks I cleaned the mortar from and laid in English bond. Made a beetle/commander from a beam offcut based on Paul’s joiners mallet (also in picture) to persuade a few stubborn joints together. Wouldn’t have attempted anything like this without following Paul Sellers’ classes. All started with the workbench! Thanks and keep up the great work.

Shoe Tidy by Phil Amos
Woods used were those available to hand. They include sycamore, sapele, nargusta (for the lid frame), reclaimed oak and birch plywood. The tambour was finished with shellac, with all other areas finished with matt polyurethane varnish.

Carrying Tote by Tom Ray
This tool tote was made from pine (except for the padauk highlight strip) that had been stored in my garage for 45 years! I knew I would use it someday. The tote has a removable top tray and room on the inside for another tray should I need one in the future. It should be large enough for my saws, planes, chisels, etc. There are a dozen drawbore mortise and tenons, two angled M&T’s for the handle, dovetails, and a dozen lineal feet of groove and tongue joints. The only tools I used in making this were backsaws, panel saw, plane, router plane, spokeshave, and an eggbeater drill. Handtools only: no electricity was consumed in the manufacture of this product!
