    "saw down slightly at an angle"
    I knew this day would come. My skill/inability to keep a hand saw perpendicular and parallel is now an asset. You need a cut that strays of center... I'm your man.

    I am a previously active 60 year old man but after nine spine surgeries I have become limited in what I can do. Then I discovered woodworking and I have been inspired by watching you. I find hand tool woodworking to be a great joy. Thank-you Mr Sellers for your outstanding instruction. I can't tell you how much they have helped me. Bob Millstein

      Aye to that Gayle, Sellers is about woodworking not selling tools as so many do. Many thanks to his "how to do" videos... Like you I love my restored tools and enjoyed every minute bringing them up to better than new condition.

    It is a real pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work. Mr. Sellers shows that it is about technique and skill and simple innovation, not about the fanciest and most expensive tools and gizmos. You are an ambassador for true craftsmanship, and I think also for good common sense. Thank you, good sir, for your very informative and helpful presentations.

    Paul, the one thing I like about your videos is that we learn woodworking needs not be complicated or involve fancy, High-dollar equipment. Withe the fact that these dogs can be made so quickly and cheaply, Who needs to buy expensive ones? (Sorry Lee Valley, you've gotten enough of my money.

    Using Dogs is extremely popular I have found. Its called Dogging. There are websites purely in this subject. Weekly and Monthly meetups up and down the country, I guess to discuss the techniques involved. People even do it in public, although I have no idea how they get their work benches to wherever they are meeting. I need to look more into it. 👍

  • @rmellersh
    @rmellersh Před 8 lety +3

    Very nice dogs but the holes can clog up with shaving or small parts! On mine I made the length to the shoulder the same as the bench then fitted a small piece under the bench to stop them falling through so that when not in use they sit in the holes - upside down - flush with the bench top, no holes in the bench and when I want them out I just push up from underneath. It's a bit difficult to describe but I'm sure you get the idea. Also I fitted a taller faceplate to the outer edge of the vice, so I suppose my concept is the opposite!

      They are handy. It basically extends your vice to the size that you need. They also have dogs that recess into workbenches if people don't want to have holes. They can get expensive but it's all on what you personally want.

    if you drill the holes all the way through you could build plugs for the holes make them just like the dogs but don't cut the notch in them leave them fully round then when you need to use a dog just knock them out and put them back when your done to keeps stuff from falling through the holes

  • @direvus
    @direvus Před 9 lety +5

    Thanks for the video, I found it very helpful.
    Any reason not to install two dogs in the vice, and then one row along the benchtop, to get your triangular bracing?
    The total number of dog holes would then be much fewer, and you would only have to reposition one dog, instead of two, when setting to a different length. Is there a downside I'm not thinking of?

    • @dr.christianrapp
      @dr.christianrapp Před 5 lety +1

      A questions that asks for an answer also after three years :-)
      The only thing that comes to my mind is that if your vice is notexactly parallel - would not make a difference if there is only one point of pressure.
      Furthermore, if you also use further clamping devices as holdfasts you will be more flexible if you have more holes.
      Still would be interesting to know what the masters says.
      In my old bench there is only one hole in the vice and one row on the bench...

    • @dr.christianrapp
      @dr.christianrapp Před 5 lety
