Hi!
I’m to sure to post this here or in the off-topic.
I think this is a better place because in here the talk is about projects… and i think this may help all in the process of new creations of our own.I’ve read some things about how to dimension joinery (in the internet).
I’ve repair some furniture (like 20 or 30 years old)
I saw some old desks.My findings lead me (dados, dove tails, mortice and tenons) to the general idea is 1/2; 1/3 ; 1/4 of the width of the stock.
And it gets worst when different woods are used in the same joinery.But… Seeing and reading Paul’s work… he must have some kind of “tricks” or “ocus pocus” to sort it out… Yeah HE do this for living more years then my life…. but even so….
So anyone will subscribe a petition for a:
“SPECIAL Masterclass-
Dimension your joinery – The secrets unveiled”Perhaps this was one of the links you found, but yes, I would be very interested in hearing what mr sellers has to say.

Answers most of the questions, but sure it would be very profitable to hear what Paul has to say.21 August 2014 at 7:39 pm #61506Thanks Brian that is a useful article I will print that out for future reference
28 August 2014 at 12:48 am #63005I bet a roofing joiner has some very specific joinery rules, because their work is primarily structural.
I don’t think most furniture is like that. At least in my experience, wood’s pretty strong, and as long as we’re vaguely sensible it tends to work out!
