🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 27 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.
In addition to all that studying and teaching during the week, I occupied my weekends working at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke. For 5 years, 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 job role in 2019 to focus on teaching at Rycotewood and my own business.
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.
Lets go make a mess.

Getting rolled was the best part of this whole thing
-
Beautiful mallets and a real professional setup you have now! I hope the tool making really takes off for you. Well done Matt.
-
Stunning. Just stunning and so beautifully crafted. Well done and thank you for always inspiring.
-
Matt, what a great educational video. Never seen a machine quit like the one you used and I must say very impressive. I really like how you showed and described all of the processes and even showed the fails. And your excitement when it worked. Beautiful little mallet and can see its use in a shop. Will definitely go and check it out
-
Stunning. Just incredible!
-
All credit to you guys . I have a lignum and african backwood mallet. Done with a router and lots of sandpaper. Ive had it for about 20 years. I swore id never make one again. Lol
-
I hope you're able to make a second batch, they look beautiful!
-
My marking knife got delivered yesterday and the quality is what tipped me over the edge to order a mallet too. Such a lovely tool and im sure it will last my woodworking life and i hope the same for the mallet. And im sure that small but heavy mallet will be more forgiving on my wrist compared to the standard mallet i use at the moment.
-
Beautiful job! That grain on both of those woods is absolutely glorious. That olive wood is just stunning.
-
Best looking mallets i've ever seen :O
-
I really enjoyed all the production you added
-
Cool to see your production methods!
-
Awesome looking mallet!
-
Great design, never heard of these wood types before, love it!
-
If Diresta can charge $200 for a brass mallet which he designed but never laid hands on, I can't see why you can't do it when you not only designed it but built it. Diresta is charging for something associated with his name. You're selling heart and soul.
-
I love the title of this video. I can’t wait to have my heart melted. It’s funny, I was counting my hammers recently and thought to myself “I have just about every hammer I could need, except, I STILL don’t have a good joiner’s mallet.” I even have a Lignum Vitae carver’s mallet, but just haven’t found the right joiner’s mallet. Was thinking I was going to have to make my own. I can’t wait to see what Matt has in store for us today!
-
I desperately want one because it's stunning and I watched the full extended build on the second channel but I'm not a woodworker. Or a maker in any facility. Top notch work.
-
Wow!!!! your CNC machine it's awesome!!!! I really miss your videos, welcome back 😁
-
Im going to be busy when this premieres so i'll have to wait until tomorrow to watch! 😭
-
good to see you back, man. It's been a while.
