How to Edge Joint Two Boards by Hand | Paul Sellers

Simple things are often hidden in the age of mass information. I put this simple explanation and demonstration together to show you how our fears and doubts are all too often unfounded.

With a little understanding of what's really happening beneath the plane sole, we can restore methods of working into our daily lives working wood and the result will be new levels of confidence.

Thank you, Paul! Believe it or not, just last night I was thinking, "If I could get Paul's ear for just one question, I'd ask him about jointing two boards." And I wake up to find this video. Sometimes wishes come true!

I'm the boss of the wood workshop at an Association in France, having come from nowhere (woodworking-wise) in four years flat. At any one time, I am only one Paul Sellers video ahead of my team. Fortunately, that is more than enough - they think I'm a genius.

[3:35]: "Oops."
[3:45]: "I've got a perfect joint line."

I wish *I* were skilled enough to "settle" for perfection after an "oops." :)

There is so much value in these mini-lessons. Just brilliant. Thank you, Paul.

That tiny detail of balancing on a pencil. Mind blown. So simple, so sensible. Thank you Paul! Every time I joint boards I give up. Everything I do with the plane seems to exaggerate the hollow/belly, not get rid of it. Looking forward to a good joint next time!

I'm glad to see even paul has his vice slip from time to time. :-D

Thank you Paul, you can't imagine how much that means to me. I didn't have my grandfather to teach me that, thank you for passing on your knowledge to us.

I’m having trouble with my jointer machine and I think I’m just going to simply hand plane for a perfect joint like this now. Thanks !

Thanks Paul for another great video full of insight and helpful to new woodworkers!

[theobolt]

This is the basic stuff that everybody who wants to work with wood MUST LEARN! Mandatory!!! It's insightful, gives you a feel, makes you aquainted with what's it really about.

I’ve been watching your videos for many years now Paul and enjoy them just as much now as when I first discovered then all those years ago. Thanks for many years of inspiration, encouragement and information. Always a pleasure to watch.

Beautifully simple and perfectly explained - Thank you for your ongoing efforts to enlighten people that they don't need a machine to do the simplest of tasks.

[schger]

Thanks for the pencil tip. That's brilliant.
