This is my first tutorial into beginning relief carving. I create most of my works nowadays out of MDF (medium density fibreboard). It is a great medium for carving ...
Hi Tokes, You can use anything sharp, the advantage of using a carving
knife is it is stronger than a Stanley knife so won't break meaning you can
put more pressure on the knife to make deeper cuts
How to make square stock straight, smooth and square (stock preparation part 1) - with Paul Sellers
Paul Sellers shows how to prepare wood from it's rough sawn state into useable stock. He goes into detail about how to remove twist from a square piece of ...
Mr. Sellers possesses incredible skill as a fine woodworker and the
patience of many saints. He is an absolute joy to watch, listen to and
learn from.
+Michael Müntzenberg Not sure how long an inch is in Germany. Here in the states we tend to use both. Metric is easier when designing, standard is easier when working. We use measurements based on an eighth inch for everything from framing houses and rebar for concrete work to boat building. We can only store so much in our short term memory and it's easier to shorthand standard using eighths; faster work, fewer mistakes. 1 inch=25.4mm, (~25mm)=8, (8/8=1 inch). When Paul says an inch and a half I think 1 1/2", 12, (12/8ths), 38mm. But he rarely measures anything; being true is more important, so an inch and a half means anything from 30mm to 45mm - as long as the lines are parallel and at 90 degrees you're good. It's hard at first, but becomes second nature after awhile and you can take advantage of each system's strengths. Just one system is limiting.
Once you have the one (or two) sides square, is there a reason you couldn't
use a table saw to rip and a circular saw to make the cross cut at 20"
inches?
+cscooper2000 You could do it that way, however, Paul is a traditional woodworker and his videos mostly show the traditional methods of fine woodworking. Ive only ever seen him use 2 power tools for special reasons, a bandsaw and a drill.
Dear Paul
I'm a huge fan of your videos. The content is useful, informative and
entertaining. And the visual quality is excellent. However, I find that
the audio leaves something to be desired. It sounds as though you are
speaking through a pillow. I've tried a few different speakers with my
computer. Same thing. Other videos sound okay. Just for your
information, for what it's worth.

+Allen Lewis Same here. I've found that the sound improves dramatically with headphones. I use a cheap set that came with an old portable DVD player that is now history.
Arrrgh!
You park your planes on the blade, not on their side!
Potentially blunting the blade, and nudging it out of "true".
I would have got six of the best from my woodwork master for that
transgression!
+MichaelKingsfordGray That is how you're supposed to place your planes when you're not using them, on their soles not on their sides. When you're planing wood with your plane, you're pushing it through that piece and obviously that will blunt the blade overtime, but placing your plane softly on a piece of wood does not blunt the blade. It also won't "nudge" it out of square, whereas placing the plane on it's side could. It's much easier to nudge the blade to the side than it is lengthwise, hence why putting the plane on it's side could move the blade more easily. Placing the plane on it's side was meant to be used at schools only, because the students would often just smack the planes on the bench when they weren't using them, and that obviously can blunt the blade. Professionals lay them on the bench softly, so it's better to put them on their soles rather than on their sides.
