The first half of the kzread.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

Matt, 40 years in the future. "Grandpa, what are these tools in your garage?" "Ah, my grandson, believe it or not, it was woodworking that started this empire I've built out of selling pens. Yes, if not for these tools, you wouldn't see my pens in every desk, drawer, school supply closet, and space colony that you do today."

For someone like myself, a struggling newbie, this video is invaluable. Thank you.

I’m really finding these videos great. I’ve gone back to college to learn Joinery and this is one of the joints I’m learning. A great reference video. Nice one, Matt!

One minute into the video and I see all these tools and I'm here like "I've always just used chisels, a cross cut saw, a drill, sand paper and an eyeball!"

Nice, I completed my Industrial Woodworking Training many years ago and this brings me back to it. Well done, and for the one or two little mishaps, not too worry because first of all we all make mistakes and secondly its an art of striving for perfection. Ciao from Canada.

I have to say that is the most enjoyable and informative video that I have watched on KZread in a long while, and boy do I watch some as TV these days is rubbish. That is said from a 51 year old carpenter/joiner watching a British youngster teach old school joinery. Who needs power tools when you can work like this, and get so much pleasure. Matt you have a great presence in front of camera, with a very easy manner that is a pleasure to watch. Big thumbs up from me! I've just hit subscribe and going to search your archive of videos. Best Regards Richard

It'll take a while... but thanks to your explanations, at least the direction of my woodworking is "less shit". I'm glad I don't have to do it for a living, but for fun and evolving my skills (woodworking, patience, craft). So happy that I found your channel. Thank you!

The way you sawed the tenon... eyes opened. Brilliant video. Thank you. Sub from US.

Fantastic series of tutorials looking forward to the next. Thank you

Good shout on sighting down the mortise while chopping! I've had problems with cutting slightly out of square in the past, will definitely give your method a go.

This is the joint making tutorial i have been waiting for. Thanks Matt

You can find many hand tools at Leevalley store online they have everything you need.

Thanks for your tip about where to stand to get the chisel plumb when cutting the mortise. It significantly improved my M&T joints.

Good job, clear, concise and informative. Well done and thanks.

Matt another incredible video I’m always picking up tips and learning something completely new.

I learned air from this video. I like your style, you explain why you do it a certain way and reveal your mistakes and explain more about the process. It's good to know. I'm buying all hand tools first. Well done sir! ☺

Very good explanation of the haunched tenon. One suggestion perhaps... use a narrower chisel for levering out the waste. It helps avoid having to lever against and/or damaging the shoulder lines.

Hi Matt I've just found your videos. I used to be a machinist / toolmaker in another lifetime so tolerances of fractions of a thousandth of an inch aren't uncommon. It has always given me great respect for woodworking craftsmen and frustration in myself, that I have never been able to work wood accurately. I am retired now and hoping to try some of your techniques. The biggest issue is eye deterioration which makes this craft ( and my own) more challenging, lots of light helps which is easy to provide. I'm going to make a couple of those marking guages they are so neat. Many thanks

I know what you mean I used to be a Universal Miller back in the day. Taking your test piece to the tester and told it's a tho out when you were plus or minus a half. Happy days.

Matt, it seems you are doing all the videos I need so I am watching you a lot. I like your style. Good work and great at giving us education.

Hi Matt, I love your method (snapping fingers) to clean up your workbench. Great joint.

Great video. I don't know why you decided to throw in a haunch on an intro video, but it was still great, and you explained this better an more entertainingly than almost any other person on YT.

When I searched for cutting mortice and tenon by hand, for some reason I thought it was going to be quite a straight forward process. Seems it's more involved than I thought. I am going to have to be patient with this, this is a new thing for me, been a long time since school. Great video and explanation. I might have to watch a few times.

Great work Matthew! I made sash windows by hand when I was learning. Glad I could use the morticing machine when I got to the doors !!!

Another excellent video that covers the areas of where we most people go wrong. Many useful tips to avoid easy to make mistakes (!) As always precision marking out, sharp tools and careful saw technique essential. You are indeed a very knowledgeable young man!

Thank you for these tutorials! Best tutorials on KZread!

Really great video Matt.. great to see how it used to be done.

Hi Matt. Great videos! I have a suggestion/request. I'd love too see a guide on cutting scribed mortise and tenon joints - ie the type you'd find on a sash window, when the stock has a moulded profile, rather than being square.

Wow, you are awesome in explaining and teaching

Thanks Matt, great job mate, much appreciated

I love the approach in your vid’s , your illustrations are invaluable , many many thanks to you

Another good one. Thanks Matt!

Great lesson Matt lots to learn from.

Great video. Thank you. Keep up the great content.

I just spent the evening watching this and a few other of your videos together with my daughter (18y) who was surprisingly fascinated by your work. She has shown no previous interest in my - or any other persons - woodworking, but there was something about you precision and eye for detail that caught her interest. I enjoyed it as well even if it was the second time I saw the videos. One has to sieze every chance there is to bond with the kids. :-) Just thought I'd share that with you. Looking forward to part 3 of the baseguitar build now.

Thank you so much Anders, that's another achievement for me to tick off the list! A guy I work with watches my videos with his dogs!

thank you. i learned a ton from watching this. i'm new to hand-cutting M&T joints and always cut my tenons first, which resulted in a loose fit because my chisel would bruise the mortise walls.

i really enjoy your videos by hand nice job

Waiting for this thanks great job love your work

Cutting my 7th mortise ever and this video has me bang on. Ok it sucks but it sucks so much less than the other 6! Lol. Brilliant and thank you!

I live in a cookie cutter house without a tool in sight and i absolutely love these videos. Keep up the good work man, huge fan

I used to think there was nothing more enjoyable than watching a good opera, then I started watching your videos

Damn...looking all swole boy!! Thanks for another great tutorial!

I found this very helpful to improve my efficiency thanks love u lots

Thanks for the video! I was planing to built an electric guitar with hand tools only and I was unsure on how to get the holes for the pick ups without using a hand router, but I think the good ol chisel will do.

you are very good! love the tutorials, thank you so much.

Brilliant video! first time on your channel and you've convinced me to subscribe. Look forward to many more vids.

thanks for sharing this!

Good tips interjected. Thank you.

Cool, thanks for the help!

You have interesting tool designs, I like the mortise gauges.

Super clear.... great explanation

I'll be learning to make this in College next Monday as I'm doing a Level 1 Diploma Course and I'm not going to lie I'm dreading it!!

Hi Matt, only just found your stuff on here, but always interesting to watch a left handed scriber who is a right handed dominant tool worker... and from Basingstoke. That was me some 38 years ago when I taught DT at Cranbourne school - how bizarre!

You are very good! Thankyou for share!!!

that was a 30 minute video, I only have half the tools you used, and yet I watched the whole thing. Must speak to the quality of your videos!

Bravo Bravo this video is very good for me thank you so much.

Nice Job!

Nice work and thank you.

Dear PenSalesman 😂😂😂 hello from New Zealand!🙋‍♀️ great Vid. Cheers

Such skillage!

Thanks for the video, nice to see a slightly different technique from the one demonstrated by Paul Sellers.

Yeah I like Paul's latest mortise and tenon video. Using the tenon as a jig to clamp to the side while cutting the mortise. I think I could actually do it without completely messing it up.

OK, gracias por sus videos, thanks for your videos

Good effort to show how to. I learned this joint at age 12 at school & have never made one since. Why not just use a pair of generously sized dowels - easier all round & very strong.

As a person who struggles with keeping track of pens, pencils and other marking/ writing tools, ordering 50 of the same pen is a great way to cut back on using the phrase, 'where the ****'s my tool?" and running out of pens because they all died or dried out. Also having a Pen cup (doesn't have to be for just marking tools) near by so everything has a consistent home, which helps a lot.

Outstanding education 🤙

Super cool I like that.

Perfect!

I like your tools.

Thank you very much

Left hand writing with right hand sawing. Good job!

Bravo!!!

I love all the tips you give!!! They are fantastic and what it truly takes to become a professional at this

31:20 Don't worry Matt - *skillage* is a valid word!

Ahhh to have sharp tools and a work bench... one day!

Very good and not too many ads...

Hi Matt! Very interesting and useful! Do you plan to release videos about making wood joints with power tools?

thank you

What do you mean you're not a pen salesman? You literally just explained that you're selling pens. ;)

So more to this than grabbing an edge and banging on the handle? Could have used this before I started cutting the tenons for my workbench. Great tutorial. Alright already, I subscribe.

And....... breeeeaaath. Great vid by the way.

Joinery instructor: this is the cleanest dovetail joint I have ever seen from a beginner! You must be experienced..? Me: lol, heck no. I just watch a lot of Matt Estlea videos...

Great video once again. *on a side note.... being an old artilleryman, I often have the captions turned on.... you and your mates should watch this with them on and drink every time it gets a word wrong. You’ll be pissed before it gets halfway through! Just the word “haunch” is done wrong in so many ways....hilarious!

Hi Matt, been following your guitar build with interest as I made a bass some time ago, only 5 strings and no where near as nice as yours. However my question to you is unrelated. I was wondering if you could cover drilling compound angles in seat blank for tenons and drill press set up. I understand the principles but each time I drill sample holes are slightly out of whack...HELP! I have spent 3 weekends trying to work it out. Save me! Leon

How old is this kid that's making us all look bad? Great videos and solid advice.....

you can thank me later for the Budha pen tip. morticing by hand is tricky, i use a similar method to Paul Sellers, yah should give it a go.

Matt, lovely instructional video, I wish I could share in your patience to do these things by hand, but, I'm about to buy a lovely cabinet saw, (and Dado Set), yes there's one such available! I'd rather not say which, in case the EU Safety Police shut the seller down! My next project will be a coffee table I think, looking forward to getting home in the summer!

Blimey you've done well to get hold of one of those! But to be honest, I don't blame you! For me, I prefer to cut the mortise with a morticer and the tenon on a bandsaw. Then clean them up by hand. Glad to hear you found it useful and best of luck with the coffee table!

New appreciation for your hand cut videos, tried the hand cut box joints and they look like a bad set of teeth!

I cheat like the “New Yankee Workshop”. I have a dedicated power mortiser and tenon jig for my table saw. I’d be done in a quarter of the time. But I still appreciate the old school methods as well. 😎🇺🇸

Awsome

Very good video, great instruction. Why did you saw the haunch part and not chisel it out?

It may not be orthodox, but I found that chiseling the mortise with a chisel that is about 1mm narrower than the final mortise should be, and then using a wide bench chisel to pare down the sides to the knife line results in a really nice rectangular mortise with absolutely straight sides. It takes a little longer to finish, but I get very nice results.

Rock Solid , you should put that on a t-shirt

Hi Matt, did you make some doors for Hazel Hill Wood in 2008?

I guess you really don't like the Tite Mark gauge since you said you ran out of marking gauges. Great tutorial Matt, thanks for sharing your time and expertise.

Hi! Thanks for the video! Can you tell me what wood is that?

Hi 👋🏽 So you have probably answered this question so many times before, sorry I’m new to your channel and starting out in woodworking. What Chisels do you use?

30:07 *Matt* - you *cheeky rascal* . You did it again..! That fits bloody perfect. (If you taper the outside and the inside of both arms, you can go hunting with your new boomerang.)

In order to be able to get my stunning, very old mahogany desk through my new door, I'm going to have to remove the leg t-bar, joint looks like this, how would you suggest going about this, to be re-attached once in the room? Please reply, I can't part with this desk! X

enjoyed this video Matt mate. I'm going to start working more with my hand tools. I have a nice marking gauge but I don't have a knife. Could I make a decent marking knife from a piece of Mild Steel? Is that possible or would the steel need to be heat treated before or after?? I think I'm going to take a punt at making a small marking knife with a wooden handle... Somebody told me u only bevel it on one side?? Is that true? This was a very good video for the likes of me to learn from. Appreciate it very much my bro. Thanks.
