I thought I was the only one that giggles on Wednesday evenings at woodworking. These are priceless and as we laugh we also remember more deeply the teachings @PaulSellers is giving us. I can’t think of any that aren’t covered here but will certainly circle back. 🙂

There are so many to choose from, but my new favorite is in the “
How to Sharpen a Knife with Paul Sellers” video on Youtube. At 2:16:“Now I know this seems complicated. No! Anybody can DIY this. You’ve got to take control…of your life.”
I have never met Paul, but like many of you, I can hear him providing instruction in my head as I work.

And would add: “This is R-e-a-l Woodworking”.
…which is the reason we are all so attracted to Paul’s mesmerising video lessons, and would rather watch them than any number of clips of someone sliding a piece of wood over a dado stack!

— Paul Sellers
Surprised to see it’s not there yet:
it’s not what you make, it’s how you make it.like another has said. I’ve never met Paul, but he is present in my head as I work. How do you thank a man you’ve never met? I dunno, I just keep woodworking I guess and make a joint that Paul would be proud of.

4 May 2016 at 9:07 pm #136987Along with the “you’re still looking for your router bit” as quoted by Eric above I like “Would I worry about that” and the answers of “no” or “I might be”. Those ones often play in my head whilst working 🙂
