How to Make a Wallclock | Episode 1

The basis for everything Paul has taught in woodworking to woodworkers around the world has been that with three joints and ten hand tools, you can make just about anything from wood. Each of these joints is irreplaceable and so each one stands alone in its importance of use.

The variations on the joints can triple, and in the case of the housing dado, there are but two additional versions. In this project, we take the most complex of the three versions to make our clock.

By the time you have made this joint and the clock, you will be fully equipped to make the other two versions. The tools you will use for all three variations are the same. We walk you through each step to bring total clarity to the tools, the joinery, and the methods and techniques. You will love making this oak wallclock project as much as Paul has in the dozens he has made since he designed it.

Remember, all the methods used will be adopted for dozens upon dozens of other projects throughout your life.

It’s so wonderful to see multi-episode project videos that teach a process rather than the constant shorts that populate YouTube these days(There’s only so many ways to sharpen a plane blade). These are the types of videos that brought me to YouTube as a beginner woodworker. Thank you Paul for years of valuable content.

And this Ladies and Gentlemen is what sets a master of his craft apart from the rest. I'm already looking forwards to part 2

Mr. Sellers is a gift of inestimable value to woodworkers all over the world.

Mr Sellers never ceases to blow my mind...

I remember making this clock several years ago when Paul first released a video series. I look at my clock every day with a sense of achievement.

[kelvinsparks]

I made my dad a wall clock following your original series many years ago . Thanks too your expert teaching its still going strong. Many thanks for sharing your vast knowledge of this wonderful craft .

[robertberger]

Love this video! This is probably my favorite of all of Me. Sellers’ videos that I’ve watched. Excellent instruction, excellent demonstration.

Me. Sellers, it is great to see how well you’ve recovered so far from that incident. May your health continue to improve!

[MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work, Paul! 😃
Looking forward to the next steps!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[DustanBadovick]

[donwilliams]

Thanks for helping us take our first steps.

[Solid_Jackson]

I can’t believe you give his away free, such expert advice

[plainnpretty]

Thanks you for sharing your skills with us.

[davidcampbell]

Thanks! Superlative. Detailed. Instructional. Excellence.

[jimmcnett]

Nice video. Excellent directions. You explain the process in easy to understand descriptions. I really enjoyed the video.

[Picknlittle]

This is how a master teacher, teaches! Thank you ❤

[JohnTBlock]

The precision is exquisite, what steel would require...

Great! I can't wait for the next part of this video series, this might be the boost for confidence I need to make a liquor cabinet. I really like how the upper and bottom pieces can break the typical box shape but keeping it simple. I would like to try this with sliding dovetail but I have to remind myself to go one step at the time.

[robertr]

The grain pattern of the wood Paul is using is quite nice.

[liquidrockaquatics]

I don’t even want a wall clock, but I kind of want to make one now. I love the traditional joinery. I still have a couple of plane totes to make first however.

Hi Paul, would it be considered biased if I say I hit the like button even before watching your video?! I so eagerly wait for each of your masterclass lessons.
I learned and enjoyed ao much from your teachings ...build so many projects I could never have dreamt of...I just wish I could switch from a occasional hobbyist/enthusiast to someone who can do this for a living...
But my day job hardly allows me any spare time ..but I still try to manage late at night even an hour after 12 am...
Anyways...so glad to see you impart these lessons in the true spirit without making it look like a speciality profession or a rich man/woman's job...
Please please keep going❤
