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
I watch a number of wood working videos online but I have to say that I always enjoy yours the most. I truly appreciate your simple no-nonsense practical method of explaining things. This was another great lesson for me. Thank you.
Paul busts this out in 18 minutes. This would take me hours to get it spot on!
Very grateful for the useful little shop-made tools you have, vs recommending the purchase of every little thing. So helpful for those of us who can't justify spending $$$ to outfit a workshop.
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.
Inever get tired of watching this man work.. what a pleasure, and i learned soo much just by watching
I love this. Using whatever's at hand. Coat hanger, broom handle, "whatever you can get your hands on". And it all works wonderfully. You couldn't buy better stuff. Excellent.
"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.
Very nice! Thank you!💜
I love your simplicity 😍👏
r sellers, I am an old man 82 anda terrible but avid wood worker. Since I have been watching and listening to you I have become an addict and amaccumilating old tools, and yousir are helping me re make them for my use . Thank yu very much
Gayle Perkins thanks for saying it. I am a bit younger at 47 years old. I am developing a passion for old tools and dove tails myself.
@@billlawton6813 I'm a bit younger at 35. *tips hat* Made a dovetail or two myself.
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.
Hopefully your still at it Gayle. Loved your comment
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.
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!
+Richard Mellersh // Or you can just blow away anything that might be blocking up the holes. good idea though.
Having the gift to make things looks simple is the trademark of a true craftsman. I admire you Paul, for all the wisdom and serenity you display !
Well said.
brilliant, thanks so much for posting!
Some channels are trying to sell you name-brand systems, Paul is trying to teach you a skill how to make your own.
"I want to dog on the bench top" Classic
Great video, thanks for this!
your wiring mechanism for the dog is genius! so simple yet functional.. thanks for the great vid
I love how cost effective everything Paul does, other channels more or less just pitch expensive systems for the same purpose
14:50 I think it's the first time I see a power tool on this channel.
Who else watchers this channel whilst mentally working out how much money they’ve wasted buying things Paul teaches you to make in a few minutes?
Thanks Paul for this wonderful and useful video. My bench needs dog holes and now I know where and how many there will be. Thank you for showing us what can be done easily and affordably by a master like yourself.
Another great video. Your teaching is unsurpassed. Thank you
First in French(?): Paul, je me régale de chacune de vos vidéos, simplicité, efficacité, précision chirurgicale et satisfaction garantie! Vous êtes un professeur de qualité inégalée (le tout mis en image et en son grâce à des professionnel de votre trempe ! Bravo de France!! Continuez je ne me lasse pas!
I found a bicycle spoke worked well for the spring wire.
I come off like a broken record but once again thank you
Hi Paul
I have watched all of you video projects you are a brilliant craftsmen keep up the good work looking forward to seeing more
I have a few of those vises, I'll have to do the same thing. One suggestion I have, once you bent the springs, remove them and temper them with a torch and a water bath.
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?
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...
What came to my mind: If you use a handplane from right to left you might want to have two fixations in the direction you plane...
Perfect timing, I have been pondering how to retro fit a dog to my Record vice and what how to make inexpensive dogs. Thank you, a really useful video and some great techniques.
I was ready to spent some 50 Euro... Much funnier and probably effective that way. Thanks Pauil! So now I can finetune my old bench I was given as a present.
Thank you Paul, I never thought about doing that to my vice. I've been using my ole B&D workmate for planning jobs, but not anymore!
Hi Paul I suddenly realised why I kept that old broom handle! What is the name of that nice hand router you used for the vice jaw mortice?
You can get the hand routers new from Veritas. They have several sizes.
i watched this just to figure out what a ddog was. now i know and it looks very handy.
MephistoRolling you're definitely not alone.
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.
Mr. Sellers, first I want to thank you for these great instructional videos. You have helped me Greatly in my effort to use chisels and hand planes. I have watched many of your videos and it seems that I have learned from you. I did just this before I saw this lesson, almost exactly as you did, to a portable workbench that I made for when I travel via RV. Thank You!
Great video Paul, as always. I have got my hands on some old tools, a saw and a "barn auger", both in need of serious sharpening. I watched your video on sharpening a saw, and I wonder if you possibly could make on regarding sharpening a wood auger!
Be well!
Thank you Paul , I am late of years getting into woodworking and using at the present an old non woodworking bench . I received a non-dogged vice as a gift and need to know how to make it work.. So as a viewer and subscriber of your site I remembered seeing it before so went back found it and now thanks to you I have moved a little farther along in the know how in woodworking .. Thanks for a well explained how to....
Hi Mr Sellers, please, what is the name of that peculiar plane you were using at 5.50 ?
Great fun as always. Quick question: I sort of assume you made diameter of the holes in the bench to fit the diameter of the dowel/broom handle you had?
Yes, about 7/8" in this case.
Dear Paul, thanks so much for this! I've made a set of five if these and they work terrific with some tuning.
Thank you again for another excellent video. Perfect timing, I was just thinking about bench dogs for the bench I'm currently building. Best regards, Gary.
Truly a pleasure to learn from you
a simple but effective addition to any bench thanks for the tips
Perfect timing, I have been pondering how to retro fit a dog to my Record vice and what how to make inexpensive dogs. Thank you, a really useful video and some great techniques.
Thank you sir, your work are works of art and you are my modern day michelangelo of wood , I have learned so much from you.
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. 👍
Always a joy to watch you work Paul , a truly inspiring series of videos you can dip in and out of .
I'm definitively going to buy a router plane!
Olaf Christensen you should check out his poor man's router. it works perfectly, for me?
Id say efficient not effective.
(But still return to these videoa after wandering around many good woodtuber channels....)
This guy always comes up with cost effective ways to make things that would be a fortune if you bought them, like those bench dogs.
Just a thought, but wouldn't it be better to install two dogs on the bench and then only have to have one line of dog holes along the bench?
Why put two rows of dog holes along your bench, when you could just have two dogs at your vice? Am I missing something?
Instead of drilling holes in the bench top for the pegs, why not just use a hard wood strip and just screw it into the top of the bench as a stop for the thing you are holding. A small screw hole will be easy to fill instead of multiple holes the size of the pegs...
Paul thanks for showing this very effective low cost dogging system.
Steve
I have a Yost bench vise and it has Antal bar that moves up and down.
Now I know what it is. Lol
Thanks Paul
A bit disappointed in the spelling of vice, as an Englishman, but otherwise great.
I just clamp a peice of Timber In the vice to act as the rear peg. Then use softwood scrap at the other end and screw it into the Bench top.
Well, this is certainly better than the design I came up with at the vise end.
Can I use "artistic" 2 mm aluminum wire for the bench dogs?
Greetings, thanks for more shop made tools.
Thank you for the trick on providing a source of tension for the dog peg. That's what I needed.
I fail to see what's the purpose. a dog peg without any wires will serve the same purpose.
I don't understand why the dogs need to be sprung? Anyone know why this is?
A lot of useful information in this video, thank you.
Once again I have questions that I can’t figure out just search Paul sellers u tube answers found
It's funny because I am on probably my 10th time of rewatching the whole channel of videos. Great sense of humor and great simplistic craftsmanship. Your the man Pauly!
Paul. I have to ask, as it's driving me nuts! What are the large, rectangular shaped router planes you have???? I have an old Stanley 71, and love it! But I also love the size of the footprint on those larger router planes you have. Who makes them, and where could I possibly get one?
Great video Paul, thanks.
Steel fence/garden wire is a good source of "coat hanger" wire in the UK and most of Europe. I prefer to keep wire coat hangers intact.
Plastic coat hangers are the ultimate epitome of evil and are far to scary to have near built-up areas, IMHO.
You can tell he actually knows what he's doing
Very clever, beats the hell out of buying bench dogs. I've seen a method of making square dogs with a kerf in the wood for a spring, but too damned much work with chiseling out the square holes etc. I've been waiting for a simpler version and this is it
Great video Paul, delighted I’ve come across your channel.
What is the name of the tool you used to cut the vice slot to depth please?
that drill bit got shorter.hahah
I've just bought a vice after X years of bodged clamping jobs and this video was perfect
Paul, It excellent to have round dogs in the bench, but what about the older benches which have a square dogs how are they made. it would be excellent if you can show us how they are made specially as they have a slanting angle inside.
Hey Zach what are the spacing for those holes ?
cheers Paul & team for the bench dogs video ........and congrats on the move too.......look forward to more furniture making videos and books alike........
The triangle layout also lets you clamp round or odd-shaped objects.
I’m not a carpenter but I love watching your videos. Thank you for posting.
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
I have never commented on a channel before, but mr sellers has demonstrated so effectively, the old saw...simple answers are the best answers.
You make everything look so easy and approachable. Thanks so much for all your videos.
I really enjoy the low-key attitude Mr. Sellers displays in his work and teaching. Thanks for another fine video sir.
That's awesome. You just saved me the cost and complexity of building a wagon vise with my next bench build!
Paul were you running late for a hot date?
muy buena leccion maestro
Nice job ,, and it did not cost 3000 pounds
Brilliant and simple. Many thanks
Thanks again for another great video. I just know I will be losing that brass plate every time though.
Thank you, I just picked up a small second hand vise. I am going to retro fit it just like this.
i want to buy a hand router plane but they are all so expensive :(
Rob k Paul's Poorman router works well.
Yah's it's just a piece of scrap wood and if you're fancy a piece of tool steel which is something like 80 cents an inch.
You mentioned that you dont use this metod. How do you secure your board while planing?
I'm about to build my workbench so this is very helpful. Thank you for these videos.
13:25 oh no! Broke the bit!
Another "No frills, it just does what you need." video. Thanks!
I love it! KISS method! Thank you for all your knowledge you share!
Now I know how to make replacement dogs for my Workmate. Thank you.
Very helpful for people who love woodwork but have limited means.
So much to learn, so little time.
hold on why is it called a 'dog' tho?
Great! thank you!
