In this project, Paul takes apart a secondhand mahogany table to look at the construction methods used by craftsman in the 17th and 18th century. Applying his discoveries, Paul makes another table to make a matching pair, which trains you and preserves the working skills in the lives of future craftsmen and women.
Learn what it takes to make picture frame by hand that have crisp mitres and splined corners. Paul shows how to make everything from a basic frame to a stacked frame using a number of different techniques.
In this new series on building bench seats, Paul decided to step out into the unexpected and develop your shaping skills using different tools others may or may not have ever thought to use for shaping legs and seats.
Join Paul as he makes this craftsman inspired lamp. The main construction methods are mortices and tenons with grooving for the glass panels. Watch out for the techniques Paul uses to get accurate joinery on this fine project.
Introducing this simple table which you can adapt for your lounge, hallway, or a number of other uses.
Join us as we take our housing joints to the next level by making a Shaker inspired bookcase. It will also include a mortice and tenon back frame and a few options in some of the construction details.
