Woodworking’s most influential author, tutor and maker gives an exclusive interview in the latest issue of Quercus Magazine. Paul Sellers has had a most significant impact for beginners and enthusiasts keen to develop new skills and techniques, arguing that you only need to learn three joints to make anything. We test an innovative new honing guide, for better sharpening, and Britain’s Best Woodworker, Misti Leitz asks if really deserves the title. From Spain Germán Peraire has a 21-step guide to cutting wedged, through mortise and tenon joints, from the USA Ethan cannibalises his fascinating toolkit in making a simple but sliding lid box, and from Germany Matthias Fenner tells readers how he became a successful toolmaker.
