Sellers Home Bookshelf: Episode 1
Posted 14 July 2021
This is an episode in a paid series. Want to watch it? You just need to sign up as a paid member, and you can enjoy this video and many other videos we think you will love.
It’s a new series and a brand new, hitherto unseen design with some special elements to the joinery Paul designed specifically for this project. Have you ever heard of a dovetailed mortise and tenoned stepped housing dado? Paul came up with a combination of his three favourite joints as an all-in-one joint, and we make six of them in this cherry bookcase. It’s all about quality wood, quality workmanship and quality design, to ensure this project becomes the next family heirloom in the sellershome.com series.
Have we found a way to put master Sellers in beeswax so he lives for another 200 years ?!
I think I missed the material cut list…? Or there is none because we adapt it …?
Second that thought. What a gift he is to us.
Any reason not to use a rebate or a fillister plane for cutting the shelf underside?
Maybe because the rebate is too wider ? And maybe because it’s a cross-cut, and the rebate plane is not very efficient in cross-cutting…
Love it! Is there going to be a cut list/diagram to go with the video?
In the last few projects the cut list has tended to appear online about halfway through……. maybe another three or four episodes…..
I that a dowel pin on the side of the panel at about 42:50?
Is that a dowel or screw with plug at 29.40 – and if so – why?
He said at the beginning that he joined two boards, so screws are to reinforce the glue up, and they are added at the back of the shelf so invisible.
5 minutes into this and Paul has already dispensed some super helpful tips regarding dealing with bowed stock and variations in thickness that I’ve struggled with in the past.
