🕵️‍♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 26 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***.

I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre with a further 1 year working as an Artist in Residence at the Sylva Foundation, which is where I began growing my business. I then returned to Rycotewood to teach Evening Classes for 2 Years, while also teaching City and Guilds Furniture Making for 3 years. They were some long 12 hour days!

In September, 2021. I resigned from teaching at the school to focus on my own business.

I like to have a laugh and my videos are quite fast paced BUT you will learn a lot, I assure you.

Lets go make a mess.

Thank you for all of your kind comments! It's taken a lot of work to get to this point and we're not out of the mud yet! I've got a very busy summer ahead, and so videos will continue to be a little sparse until September. By which point, we'll begin to implement these plans and GET. BACK. ON. IT.

If you want to do your bit to help, purchasing products from my store, supporting me on Patreon, or getting us something from my Amazon wishlist are all great ways to do so. Relevant links are in the description above.

Love you all ❤

put a metal grate between the woodworking and machining areas. it'll help keep you from tracking metal shavings into the wood area & vice versa.

[MinuteWorkshop]

Mate this is so good! Brilliant piece of work, tight edit, witty scripting. I’ll need to watch it again with the sound on, obvs, but a fantastic space and excellent Malteser-geezer gag! 🙌👍

[chm]

What a fun video, Matt. Great to see you and Rob together again too. The workshop is looking bloody fantastic and genuinely, if I lived closer, I’d come and work for free to help you get going. In any case, keep up the great work and I have no doubt that the new workshop will encourage you to keep going from strength to strength. All the best.

[cubeofsoup_ww]

The joy and passion that comes through in every one of your videos is wonderful and I appreciate it greatly. Definitely going to get some merch, would love to see what you do next.

As always, what a pleasure to watch your content Matt. Thank you to bring us on your journey through those interesting, fun and so well done videos.
The new/old filming background feels like welcome fan service and is such a nice idea!

[frankhill]

Great video, looking forward to see what comes out of the new workshop. Good seeing Rob again.

[ShaneTheViking]

Looks like things are shaping up nicely, glad to see that and I'm looking forward to seeing all that comes next. Cheers

[Andy_XT]

Finally! We've been missing you for too long! Great video! The editing is amazing. The workshop is fantastic. Congrats, Matt!

[bogmaerke]

This video was perfectly scripted, executed and filmed. Simply fantastic.

[allanchalmers]

Hi Matt, i just wanted to say thank you for your sharpening videos. I have followed your guidance step by step and had fantastic results! I’d spent a whole load of time with the Tormek and never really achieved anywhere near the edges I’m now getting with your guidance. Cheers for the wonderful videos Allan

At 4:08 you have your metal working files stored on a magnetic rack. Eventually the file will become magnetic and the filings will stick to the file.

[michaelmoffat]

I really hope this all works out for you. Your such a likeable guy and your videos are great im really enjoying the van stuff. Best of luck

[krisbennett]

You knocked it out of the park again. I wish I could hit the like button 100 times. Love the new shop. Looks like you've really made the most of it

[TheStevenWhiting]

2:09 Now thats a good idea. Only found one local timber yard that project packs but they are just blankets of wood. I still need to cut which is good but this idea of already cut is also good.

[VeretenoVids]

You are such a delightful lunatic! I wish you the very best for making this new shop the most amazing of all your adventures!

[lesliecrowther]

Matt, that's one hell of a workshop you have there mate.
Well layed out too.
Anyone working or learning in that environment under your tuition is in for one heck of a treat that's going to be an absolute pleasure.
Cheers mate and Good luck.
Les.

AWesome setup Matt! Hope things will work out for you, you are working so hard to get it all organised!

[peterfrisch]

Wow! That looks like the workshop of my dreams. I so envy you for that. I probably not envy you for all the hard work that went into it and all the previous steps you had to go through to get to this point ;) I really hope it all pays off and works out the way you planned it! Looking forward to all the stuff you make in there!

Great video: I watch all my YouTube Vids after cutting and pasting the URL into a spreadsheet - THEN NO ADVERTS!
