I read in a thread somewhere in this forum that Paul Sellars underestimates the value of his 50 years experience. I don't know who It was or where it was they said it but I agree. I have heard Mr Sellars say that anybody can do what he does if they can just spend a few hours a day practicing. Probably so, but I know that many men would love to be able to find these magical few hours every day to cut and plane and chisel and shape.
I like Sellars work and especially I like his championing of the old tools. But his level of skill is based on time that many men simply do not have. I am currently engaged in a radical reorganisation of my life to pull a few more hours out of each day, selling my home, buying something more modest and changing jobs included. But I am older now, my family have children of their own. When I was younger none of these things would have been possible.
