In this video, I show you how to apply glue and clamp the lid so that it is flat and accurate. By taking extra care at this stage, it will save you a lot of effort when flattening it later in the project.

My name is Matt Estlea, I’m a 23 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.

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.

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 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.

In this lesson, I show you how to accurately prepare and carry out a glue up of a fine dovetail box. We cover pre-sanding, making glue blocks, and squaring up a skewed box in the clamps. There are a lot of valuable woodworking skills in this one so don’t miss it!
