About Common Woodworking

Common Woodworking is the sister site of Woodworking Masterclasses. They are both woodworking sites which provide details on techniques and tutorials for projects with Paul Sellers. Common Woodworking focuses on the beginner woodworker, who has a keen interest, but isn't sure where to start.

Paul is one of the best known woodworking teachers in the world and his YouTube channel is the most subscribed UK woodworking channel. He guides users through his tutorials to create projects that can be completed in a home workshop.

The aim of this site is to provide a foundational level of woodworking knowledge and skill, enabling a smooth transition on to our more advanced Woodworking Masterclasses projects. Progressing through the Common Woodworking projects will equip you with the knowledge of which tools to buy and how to buy them. It will also guide you through a host of common woodworking techniques and projects which involve them. All of the tool recommendations and woodworking advice on the site come from Paul himself. This information is carefully transposed by Izzy and Joseph to create clear guides which are accessible for the beginner woodworker.
