🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea and I’m a Woodworker from Basingstoke, England. My aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years of TRAINING at Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, 5 years of experience WORKING at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke, and 3 years TEACHING both day classes and evening classes at Rycotewood Furniture Centre. All while trying to get this RUclips thing off the ground.
By September 2021, I packed it all in to focus on RUclips and my business full-time.

“Sometimes it is that browny hearing aid color”. Still laughing at that! Thanks for the tutorials and great comical one liners!
You ARE the BEST UP AND COMING CHANNEL ON RUclips IN WOODWORKING CATEGORY!
Finally!!! Thank you! So many so called "beginner" projects have so much machinery i would never buy when im just beggining woodworking that they dont help at all thanks for your videos seriasly 🙏
I am loving this new series as I just made a beech and maple butcher block countertop and I am ready to make more cutting boards but implement what I'm learning here to be even better at it!
Great video, mister Estlea!
Awesome, just what I wanted to see as a new woodworker with limited tools. Looking forward to the next video👍
Awesome! I'll be doing a few of these limited tools projects alongside my larger projects to make sure there is something for everyone.
Leg end thanks needed a new board of chopping. KNow I now were to start
Great video Matt! Love these simple makes, a lot more to it than you first imagine!
Can you design a shooting board? Interested to see how you'd go about it
Good video. Interesting about growth rings / grain. Cheers
Beech colour variation: you almost certainly know this, but red beech is sometimes steam-treated, which gives it a more even colour and usually turns it into an even dark red shade.
Nice to see a non-endgrain cutting board. One thing though: I really don't like beech for cutting boards, it warps and cracks like mad when it's in contact with water. In the Netherlands almost all wooden kitchen utensils are made from beech and all of them last a couple of years at best.
I'm told oak is a bad wood for chopping boards due to the tannin content (stains metal utensils) and because it's quite porous and tends to soak up oils from food which can then go rancid. Really enjoying your videos btw!
It's probably too late now, since this was filmed earlier, but I would love to see those beech boards ripped into thirds, the pieces rotated 90 degrees, and the rift sawn ray flecks in the beech paired with the ray flecks in the oak. Clyde
Hi Matt. Thanks for your informative videos. It would be very helpful if you could explain how to find out which direction fibers are going. Thanks! Axel
Watch my video on Reducing Tearout with a Handplane. I covered it in that video, although I will do a dedicated video in the future at some point!
Cheers mate.
Thanks Matt
Epic. Good to see a simple project us benchless, workshopless and with limited space beginners can use the techniques for. Guitar / bench building and the like are a bit daunting for my level. Already some useful tips for the ladder project I'm building for my daughters sleeping platform. Bit off topic but is there a way to shoot the end grain of those thick boards you cross cut? All the shooting board vids I've seen show pretty thin stock, the rungs for my ladder project are 4x2 and try as I might they haven't all been cut exactly the same length. Looking forward to the rest of the content. Thanks
Matt have you done a video on soft and hardwood and how to tell the difference?
Any recommended resources for learning more about milling/grain/wood behavior? Really fascinating!
JESUS PEN IS BACK!
Did you find a need to sharpen your veritas saws when recieving them or were they fine out of the box?
Anders Backlund I have one and it definitely needs sharpening upon arrival.
Could you make a video on hot to build a small guillotine for the jesus pen?
Hearing aid colour? I don't have that in my coloured pencil set!
Hey Matt, great video! I have a 2 inch x 14 inch x 22 inch pice of solid walnut I was going to make into a cutting board. It has a number of good splits in it on the end. Any suggestions if I don't want to remove any of the material? They go pretty deep. Could I use epoxy?
Thanks,
Joshua
Hi Josh. If you’re feeling a bit of a daredevil, you could always use the Dutchman Bow tie, or if you want to hide the cracks, an epoxy with a dark stain would sort it out. However, if you wanted to highlight the crack, then an epoxy with your favourite colour would work a treat. There’s a few options. Good luck!
Great work as always.
Is 'orien 'tate' a word in GB? I think plain ol' 'orient' is all that is required. "I'm going to orient the growth rings...." :)
Where do U get your wood from mate cheers
Jon Snow!
You marked the face and edges sides *before* they were faced and squared...I only do that after I have flattened and squared. Just saying.
I notice you are left-handed, but saw right-handed. Why is that?
I'm all over the bloody place! I use my left hand with pencil like objects, so chisels for example. Right hand for most other things.
Matt Estlea - Furniture ‘pencil like objects’. You left the door wide open with that one.
No, No, No, not a chopping board, we want bass!
Hair cut? maybe on February 30 after you finish the cutting board and chopped your cabbages.
Hi Matt. You still have an error in your YT channel, website is missing https part and YT is treating it as a channel.
Thank you for letting me know! I'll fix that asap
I noticed that you used your Jesus Pen---gotta get me one of those. Why not a marking knife?
A new Jesus pen?
Do we have to use a Jesus pen? .. or will my naked lady pen work ok too?
Orientating?
Never use plastic cutting boards. It's thought you can stick a plastic cutting board in high temperature dish washer, and it would kill bacteria. When plastic boards were tested against wood, it was found that wood killed bacteria, while plastic promoted bacteria growth, reguardless in you put it in a high pressure, high temperatue dish washer. There are many theories why wood kill bacteria, but no body knows why wood kills bacteria. A simple wipe with a soapy cloth, and a rinse will end up killing 99.9 % of all bacteria on wooden board. There are many people out there lying, but the truth is plastic cutting board not only don't kill bacteria, they also promote the growth, and protection of bacteria. The wet surface of plastic is the perfect environment for Bacteria, and worse, one the suface of plastic dries, the bacteria go into protective spore state, which makes them almost impossible to kill, unless you use heavy neutron radiation. Lately, they have been promoting anti bacteria plastic cutting boards. These are even worse for people. Bacteria exposed to a constant source of anti bacteria chemicals, become immune to the anti bacteria componds. If you get sick off these plastic anti bacteria boards, there might not be a medicine that will help you. There is a geat deal of wrong information out there about the safety of cutting board. If you disaggree, you are wrong, and you are killing people. Plastic cutting boards are dangerous. Wood is the only safe way to go. Also, plastic cutting boards are ugly as sin.
You forgot to mention some plastic boards are too hard, and dull edges.
...dont u dare cut ur hair... ;p
well, coming back to watching a few of your videos, i can't say im shocked by your jesus pen usage and enterprise... I heard that business needed resurrecting anyway...
Why Jesus pen?...
Too wordy. Just get on with it - not so much talking about it
