🕵️♂️ 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.

🕵️♂️ 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.

Lets go make a mess.

I'm Converting a Van to Live Alone.
I purchased a van for #vanlife so I could run away and hide from all the mental things the world is throwing at us these days. This is the start of a 10 part series where I'll be taking this van and converting it into my new forever home.
Thank you so much to Mark Hannawin for accompanying me on this hunt! If you're ever in need of vehicle parts or tools, please take a moment to visit his websites below.

⚠ DISCLAIMER ⚠
Just to be clear, I am not celebrating nor condemning any of the clips in the intro. That's a choice you can make for yourself. They are used purely to highlight issues around politics and culture (specifically in the west) and the absurdity of it all, regardless of which side you are on. My stance on these issues is out of the scope of this video. Nothing was intended to offend or trigger, but if it does I apologise.

I Made 1000 Custom Knives (Biggest batch ever!)
I made 1000 custom marking knives to help fund my upcoming projects!
👇 Purchase Your Knife here:
https://mattestlea.com/tools/
⚠ PLEASE READ ⚠
This video is for demonstration purposes only and is not a tutorial. This design is patent pending so I would kindly ask you refrain from reproducing this hardware or knife with the intention of making profit.
Also, from a moral and ettiquette perspective, if you're a seasoned engineer with all the kit who wants to rip off a 26 year old who's just getting started, why don't you give us a chance eh? ;)
For clarity, I think viewers making a knife for their own personal use is ok. In fact once design flaws have been ironed out, I may be offering these ferrules as a kit in the future. Stay tuned!
