The new season of Game of Thrones is FINALLY here. So I thought I would make myself a wooden goblet to drink from while watching each episode and become one step closer to becoming Jon Snow.

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 episode, I use an offcut from the Padauk Desk I made a few weeks ago to make a pen for mothers day.

In this episode, I attempt to make a bowl using a ropey offcut of Elm. This was given to me as a challenge by the guys at MAC Timbers while I was at the Midlands Woodworking Show in Newark.

Completely forgot to post this yesterday 😂 Technically still Tuesday in Alaska and the Pacific….

Edit* Also I apologise for lack of uploads this week. The Midlands Woodworking Show messed with the schedule :)

In this video, I begin to sort out my atrocious sandpaper storage by making a sandpaper rack to neatly store rolls and make them easily accessible.

This is the first part of the project, the next video will focus on making the bracket that holds the turned spindle in place.

In this video, I turn a bowl on the lathe and finish it using crayons! This is a technique way back from my experimental finishes series.
