My name is Matt Estlea, I’m a 24 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. I now teach City and Guilds Furniture Making at Rycotewood as of September 2018.

If you’re interested in studying at Rycotewood, view their courses here:
www.mattestlea.com/rycotewood

I also had 5 years of experience working at Axminster Tools and Machinery where I helped customers with purchasing tools, demonstrated in stores and events, and gained extensive knowledge about a variety of tools and brands. I discontinued this at the start of 2019 to focus solely on video creation and teaching.

During the week, I film woodworking projects, tutorials, reviews and a viewer favourite ‘Tool Duel’ where I compare two competitive manufacturers tools against one another to find out which is best. I also have a Free Online Woodworking School which you should definitely check out!

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

Fixing a “Not so Perfect” Mitered Joint

William Ng
Published 26 Dec 2011

Making miter joints are never easy, especially on long cuts. Here is a simple technique that can cover up a multitude of sins. it will also take some of the stress out of cutting perfect miters. This technique saved me a few time when I was making miters for Pantry cabinets and Home Theaters where the length of cuts are close to 8 feet.

Sanding The Cabinet | The Cabinet Project #28 | Free Online Woodworking School

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , , — Nicholas @ 06:00

Matt Estlea
Published 17 Sep 2020

Sanding is a process that can make or break your project. Effective sanding can make the piece feel nice to touch, bring out the contrast in the grain, and clean up the piece to look consistent and refined.

Poor sanding however will produce patchy marks after the finish has been applied. It will cause edges to become rounded, thus loosing the accuracy and crispness we have strived for, and worst of all, be complete irreversible.

This video will teach you how to avoid that.
