Happy Birthday Paul!

ByJoseph Sellers
This is a photo from my dad’s birthday two years ago.

Happy New Year Everyone!

This is Paul’s son, Joseph, briefly seizing control of this blog to mark the occasion of my dad turning 72. Happy Birthday Dad!

I invite you to join me in wishing him a happy birthday in the comments below.

While you are here, I thought you might enjoy a bit of trivia about my dad.

  • His dad (Joseph Sellers) was an British paratrooper in WW2 and met his Belgian mum (Ghislena Picha-Decroix) when he was posted in Belgium.
  • My dad is one of six children and he and his sister are non-identical twins.
  • During his time working in the police my dad worked both as a uniformed officer and undercover for the CID.

  11. Dear Paul,

    Happy birthday to you and happy new year to both you and your Team.

    It has been truly a joy to have met your channels. You all did a great service to us passionate woodworkers.

    I embraced a new philosophy of life thanks to your masterclasses. I learnt how to slow down and enjoy every second I spent in my garage.

    You really changed me for the better….an outstanding methamorphosis.

    Thank you so much. I wish you all the best for the incoming months and years.

    Max.

  14. Happy birthday Paul!

    You have been my woodworking mentor these past two years.
    Keep safe!

  17. Happy birthday Paul. I hope you have a wonderful day and wish you all the best for the coming year.

  19. To another year of dreaming, designing, making and inspiring others. Cheers Paul!

  20. Dear Paul, all the best for your birthday. Sometimes it’s strange how catastrophes or wars can start families. I am german and my uncle was a prisoner of war on a farm near cambridge. After WW2 he married the farmer’s daughter and stayed there. Ans the family of my wife’s father had to flee from China to Taiwan during the revolution and her father later moved on further to Germany. And now we are all a big family.
    Enjoy your birthday (same day as my brother) and stay safe, Thomas

  21. Happy birthday Paul! I’ll never forget when I decided to learn a few hand tool skills. Picked up a few books and by some stroke of luck yours was one of them. It was a game changer to say the least! A big happy birthday from Texas!!

  26. Happy !
    Thank you so much for doing what you do. Your blog always make my day. I wish you many more years of happiness and success.

  35. Happy birthday Paul. I have been reading about woodworking my whole adult life because I do not have the space or money for a barn full of machines. Thank you for showing us that woodworking is possible without them.

  36. Happy Birthday from Belgium Paul!

    I wish you long years in good health and let everyday bring you joy and satisfaction from what you’re doing. I’m so glad we have you to teach and inspire us.

    P.S.
    Joseph, thanks for the trivia. It’s super interesting.
    I remember Paul mentioning in one of his posts, some childhood days in Ghent.
    I was wondering why was that. Now it clicked in place 🙂

  101. Happy birthday Paul from a currently very frozen (9 below zero) Wyoming. Through this blog and woodworking master class you have enabled me to learn what I wouldn’t have been able to any other way.

  102. Many happy returns Paul for 4th January, my birthday is today 5th ,
    My old foreman when I was an apprentice would have been 94 the same day as you, and another chap at the same works would have been 95 , all round January is quite a month wood workers.

  103. A very Happy Birthday to you, Paul, from an American fan of your MasterClass posted across the channel here in Belgium.

  104. Happy birthday Paul! I have been so blessed to have found your teaching and books on wood working. I have made your work bench, mallet, and stools. I will be 69 this year. It is never too late to start learning and doing. I can hear you say, I believe in you. You can do this.
    God bless you and your family and team.
    Happy birthday from Tulsa Oklahoma.

  112. Happy birthday Paul. Many happy returns. Been watching and reading your work for 5 or 6 years now. Your work has been both inspirational and aspirational for me. Looking forward to many more years to come.

  114. Happy birthday Paul, from another ex-policeman here in Stockport and current woodworker.

  116. Happy (belated) birthday, Paul! I really got in to hand tool woodworking years ago when I built the joiner’s mallet from your YouTube instructions. I’ve been hooked ever since, though finding time to work in the shop with two toddlers has been challenging. Looking forward to teaching my daughters all about the [amateur expression of the] craft.

  117. Happy Birthday Paul! I finished my workbench on your birthday! I’ve really appreciated your teachings over the years, thank you!

  119. Happy Birthday Paul! I’ve been watching for a very long time my friend! From the beginning. I too will have a birthday (my 69th!) coming on the 31st this month!

  120. Happy birthday, Paul. I’ll join you at the age of 72, later this year. Thanks for your uplifting advice and wisdom on all things life!

  121. Happy birthday Paul!!!

    I also desire to express my deepest gratitude to all of your team for their amazing work. My discovery of blog & YouTube channel has greatly affected my woodworking and taught me to step back from a singular focus into multi sense focus that has improved not just my skill, but more importantly, extended my enjoyment of woodworking. My thought processes have evolved from linear to lateral and I’m grateful for this too.

    From the great state of Texas, we wish you the happiest of birthdays and pray for y’all’s ongoing good health, and God’s blessings.

    Michael

  122. Happy Birthday Paul! I discovered your videos last year and wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents.

  149. Happy Birthday old timer, I can say because you are eight months older. Thanks for all you do, if you stopped it would not be good for you, but you know that.

  151. Paul,
    From the Great State of Texas, we wish you Happy Birthday. Because of your time here, you are a fellow Texan. I was thinking that because I spend and have spent a couple of hours a week with you and have for all these years, I feel like I know you better than many of my friends and extended family members. Nevertheless, the brief biographical information provided by your son was interesting and enjoyable to know. Best Wishes.

  154. Hi Paul, Happy Birthday.
    Interesting reading a little bit of Trivia.
    My Father was also a twin, also was a paratrooper in WW2 and was bought up in the UK.

    Love your book – “Essential Woodworking Hand Tools”…

  182. Happy birthday Paul. You have given us many gifts of wisdom. Thank you for passing on the knowledge that you have learned over the years. I am trying to share with my grandson. I treasure your book I received for Christmas.

  183. Happy Birthday from Santa Cruz, CA!

    Thank you for making such great materials available. It has added immensely to my joy and success at learning woodworking through this last year.

  185. Happy birthday 🎉 🎂 Paul.
    Thanks so much for all you do. I’m an expat living in the States, so I do understand the love of the US you often mention.

  186. Happy Birthday Paul!! You are now 6 months my elder in life! Wishing you all the best and Congrats on life doing what you love!! I have enjoyed and benefited from your sharing of expert knowledge and life reflections. These have been wonderful gifts!

  190. Happy birthday dear Paul! I am spending more time with you than with my loved ones in the past months. You sure are a great inspiration and source of knowledge for me.
    I wish you good health and many more years of happy doing!
    Avi Strauch, Israel.

  192. Happy Birthday Paul.
    You have been such an inspiration to me which I am hopefully passing onto my home schooled lads at Skillway.
    You are right about missing the workshop. I celebrated my 70th in a carpentry workshop on Katanga slum Kampala with lads devouring peanuts and pop. Wonderful. They made your 3 legged stool there!!!!

  193. Happy Birthday Paul!

    You have brought me so much joy over the years learning from you.

    I have been working my way through your Working Wood book with my children making the projects and learning how to properly use simple tools with skill. My son is so proud of the three legged stool he made with his own hands. No squealing machines just sharp tools care and practice!

    Wishing you health, happiness and success in all you do.

    Best wishes, Dom

  194. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Celebrate your day, and thank you for all the joy you bring to others.

  195. Happy Birthday Sir! May you be blessed with many many more fulfilling and happy years to come. May you be given more then you give. God bless.

  200. Paul!
    From shooting bad guys to shooting bad miters- who would guess? Happy birthday, and many more.

    Gordon Fretwell

  201. Happy Birthday Paul. Thanks for your work enlightening the rest of us about hand tools.

  202. Happy Birthday Paul!!! You have blessed many including myself with your knowledge. I love how you teach and your passion shows through each video. I also love your blogs as you write beautifully and with a grateful spiritual introspection. Cheers to you and best of health.

  203. Belated Happy Birthday!
    I don’t really have to tell you how much influence you have had over so many years in the woodworking world seeing how far down I had to scroll to find the “leave a comment” – but I’m telling you anyway:-)
    I have been reading and following your instructions for many years now.
    What’s new though is that I have taken up a drawing class after reading a post of yours on sketching. This has been a frustrating aspect of my woodworking adventure, that I am not fit to draw the perspectives I need in order to know where to cut off what. So there is another or rather complementary craft you are inspiring me with. Thank you for this. Many more years and best Health and Joy to you.

  206. Happy birthday Paul! May God bless you with many more years of rewarding activities. Thank you for the generous gift of your experience. You have helped me and countless others to find our way towards working with our hands and some simple tools to make useful and beautiful woodwork. May you be rewarded with a rich and vast legacy.
    Johnny

  207. Happy Birthday Paul. I am one year behind you. You have been an inspiration to me. I have worked with wood all my life. My Dad had a construction business which I continued. I have always used machines to do my cabinet work or other woodworking. but it has always been my desire to learn how to use woodworking hand tools that my great grandfather used, but modern hand tools that are worth using always seem to be so expensive. My son suggested that I buy old hand tools and fix them up to use. So I did it. In the process of doing this I ran into your videos on YouTube, and now I have been learning to use them by joining your masterclasses. Thank you for your easy style of showing us how to sharpen and use these tools and put them to work in various projects. I have learned so much. Thank you for your passion to teaching others to create in this way.

  209. Happy Belated Birthday Paul. Thanks for all you do to help, advise and coach those of us who love to work wood. I’m merely a late to the party hobbyist, but is such a peaceful way to spend a day. So thanks for the encouragement that’s making that a reality for me.

  210. Happy birthday Paul. Just turned 70 in December and am so very glad I found you videos. My workshop is getting quieter all the time and I’m doing just as much work. I’ve rediscovered the joy of working with my hands. Thank you for all your dedication to the craft

  213. Inquiring minds want to know: Scotland Yard or Texas Rangers?

    A little Texas trivia. My wife and I were staying on the Frio river 20 some years ago and stopped at the convenience store in Concan. I assume you have been there numerous times. She looked around and asked the cashier “Where’s a grocery store around here?”.

  214. Happy birthday Paul! Sorry my greetings are so late. I have been following you for two years – during the lockdown you were a saviour. As a 67 year old youngster with a replacement hip you have given me a new lease of life. Thank you!

  215. Happy Birthday Paul! I considered myself as a woodworker until I started learning what real woodworking meant from watching you. Thank you for sharing you’re knowledge with the woodworking world.

  217. Happy (belated) Birthday Paul, all the best and thank you so much for your tutorials and for inspiring me to pick up hand tools.

  218. Happy Birthday!! You have inspired me with your knowledge and respect of hand tools and how to use them! I’ve done many of your projects and have learning many skills just from viewing your videos and blogs! Enjoy and I wish you many more!!!
    From Peoria, Illinois USA

  219. And a belated Happy Birthday from New Zealand. We’re in summer, Omicron-free for the moment, so we’re out and about instead of being huddled over the stove in the shed.
