DREAM WORKSHOP TOUR😱 (But I don't want it anymore)

- This is a tour of my 450ft2 Dream Workshop that I spent years building up to a point of being perfect. But after cramming so many things into the space, I've finally hit a limit where I need to upsize and move to a new premises.

Outtake Reel: th-cam.com/video/EJNY7M8XSvg/w-d-xo.html
Ever thought of setting up a more corporate style business. Build, prototype and manufacture high end furniture for people. You do great stuff, but I recon setting up a production line for maybe kickstarting some minimalist and multifunctional furniture pieces would go great for you. Egh, just an idea
This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
The first half of the th-cam.com/users/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_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.
I've loved watching your videos for a while now just to pick up tips and honestly just the vibes, but I am finally making my own dovetail box and realizing how much I've learned from watching your videos. Thanks Matt!
Hola Matt, desde Chile sigo todos tus videos.
I'm so surprised because your knowledge and background in woodworking being so young ... I'm 49 and I learn a lot from you... please keep making videos and teaching to all of us.
My best and sincere wishes to you
Thanks a lot...
Best of luck in your new place. Keep on moving forward, we'll try to keep up with you!
Congratulations mate.. thoroughly well deserved and very best of luck with the move
Been watching for years... glad to see you doing well for yourself and outgrowing your cozy little space. Congrats Matt!!!
Wish you all the best for your move to the new workshop 👍 Cheers
YAY! Good luck on the move to the new workshop! You definitely need it. I've seen your growth from when you first moved in. It's been a great journey and now on to the next chapter!
Thanks Erik! Been a fun ride
Thank you Matt for your dedication to your craft and also thinking about your viewers and their love and perception of you!
Have fun in your new workshop !!! And best of luck in the future ;-)
really excited to see that happen Matt
Amazing Matt . Great to see you again
Great to see you back Matt. Looking forward to seing the new workshop come together. A lot of work ahead! Best of luck with all of it.
Excited to see how you build out the new shop. Wish you success, Matt!
Good luck Matt, you are very brave. Hope it works out for you.
Hi Matt, can't see any instructions above. Can you help please?
Good to see you having fun with Rob again . . . wish you lots of success in your new workshop 👍 You obviously don't know but you given me a lot of help getting back into woodworking. Well now I have have approx. 20,000 honey Bees occupying the Beehive I made for them from scratch in Western Red Cedar . . . ( I did tell you not to used Cedar for the Picnic Bench), thanks for all the videos and the help, oh, and the Macassar Ebony-SS marking knife I bought way back in Dec 2019 is still in daily use, thanks again.
Seems like all my favourite woodworkers are/have moved. You, Rex Kruger, 3X3, The woodwhisperer, JKM a while ago.
Good luck! Looking forward to seeing the new place in use!
Funny isn’t it? 😂 I swear this always happens though. It’s just I’m never able to get involved
Good luck with the move Matt. I'm really looking forward to seeing you setting up shop in your new home.
Fantastic news! Congratulations Matt!
I am in awe of your organization and displays.
This is all very much well deserved. Looking forward to future videos in your new shop!
Looking forward to seeing the new workshop setup
Good luck on your move, knife launch, van overhaul, and trying to keep Rob from sitting in Bitumen! Excited to see where you’ll go. Great things on the horizon.
Little plug for a brief livestream where you and Rob do an update? Miss the dynamic duo, not to mention that mezzanine gave a lot of great content for you both. :)
Best of luck Matt - I look forward to seeing your progress!
The thought of having to pack and move everything you have in your workshop would overwhelm me. Best of luck with the new place. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
Exciting stuff, mate! I’ve genuinely missed your videos this spring and happy to hear it’s been for good and constructive reasons. I wish you all the best for the move!
On ya Matt. All the best for the big move, it's a brilliant and cunning plan. Love yer work!
You a great bloke and deserve all you get. Keep up the great work mate.
Matt, all the very best to you in your new home.
Hi Matt, I wish you all the best with the new shop. You have inspired me immensely over the years, not just with your woodworking knowledge, but also your video production, editing and storytelling skills. I’ll make sure to grab some of your merch and let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help out, like coming over to help with the move for a few days. Cheers from Denmark
Thank you so much Jesper! Always been great to have you around and have appreciated your kind words over the past few years :)
I'm heading for a Level 8 furniture technology degree in Letterfrack, Ireland in September, been using Your videos to help me prepare in my little back garden workshop.
Great news Matt! Good to see you going at it again
This is awesome news Matt!!!!! You have what it takes!!!! You are going to shine!!!!!! More than you already do. I had no idea you had a online store......Im heading over there now!!!!!! Best of luck.....you deserve it!!!
great video Matt. I hope the move goes smoothly for you and your dreams are met in your new premises. Good luck mate.
So happy for you! Really excited to watch your business grow. Change is hard and embracing it makes you and the people around you grow and develop. Keep up all the great progress.
Its all great news and I'm looking forward to what is coming.
If I needed to give your workshop a single word to describe it, it would 100% be "character." Good luck to you in the new space. Don't make it boring.
Congrats on the new shop!
Exciting times ahead, looking forward to seeing the new shop
Matt!!! I'm thrilled for you! How exciting is this news! You absolutely deserve all these good things in your life and more. It has made my day to hear about this and I can't wait to see what you do next!
Great news mate. I've moved my workshop 4 times till I was finally completely happy with one. I think for the channel, from the start it needs to designed so that everything goes. You know the snazzy looking slick woodworking shops you see on here. You definitely have the skills, the tools and good camera presence. You have bits that are great but your new workshop could look banging. And them folks like a banging looking workshop.
Functional shops do not just happen. It only looks like they do. In reality there's a lot of planning that has to go on.
Would love to see a workshop build series/move. Love your videos
Was one of my favourite experiences getting this current place up and running
@@MattEstlea It's a funny thing how satisfying it is to set up a workshop. Not sure why; probably several reasons. Not having to make very detailed plans? The bar for how good looking the things one makes is lower? Building one's own man-cave/I'm in control of my universe? Your vids are always fantastic, thank you! Looking forward to many more.
Good luck with the move, exciting times ahead.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new place.
Thank you! :)
Good luck Matt! Can't wait to see some videos from the new place. I know how much lack of space can impact the projects that you can take on.
P.S. I've been building a Bertha for over a year now with some reclaimed red oak. I only get to work on it a few hours at a time maybe once a month, but it's coming along. Milling all the lumber with no decent jointer and a lunchbox planer takes a while. I'm looking forward to having it done one day though. It's going to be a great addition to my shop.
Matt mayhem, on the move, on the run.. Keep it UP mate, dream big and let the chips fly at that clinic 😁you're about to call your new home! Cheers!
Good seeing you again!! Good luck with the new shop
Good for you Matt. Now I have to get one of your marking knifes!
Cool, enjoy the moving thingy. Hope it works well for you guys. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.
Can not wait to see the new shop! Congrats Matt!
Congrats Matt! So excited for you!
Good luck with new shop! Was wandering a few days ago where you disappeared and now we have good news.
Good luck with your move Matt. Watching your videos over the last year has spurred me to have a go at this woodworking malarkey😊 As a total beginner Your style of presenting things really appeals. Thanks.
Matt approaches woodworking in a very realistic and sensible fashion. Which is rare in the woodworking presentation crowd.
I have been watching your video's from the very start almost, And can honestly say loved each and every one! you have been a much needed source of inspiration but also a kick up the arse to start heading that way myself in the woodworking front, keep doing what you do and I wish you all the greatest of luck in you new shop Matt
Congratulations on your expansion. I understand the sad/happy feelings of a move. Looking forward to seeing your future adventures!
Good luck in with the move, I love all your videos and tutorials, you've taught me so much and my love
Of woodworking has grown so much, if you could do a tutorial on how to get your wife to agree that I do need so many expensive tools. That works be a game changer. Thanks again Mat take it easy.
Huge congrats fella! It’s been brilliant seeing what’s been created in that space, and it’ll be great to see what you come up with in the new one 👍👍
Congrats on the new place, hope for a smooth transition :) Can't wait what you're up to once the move has been done!
Thanks Matt, and good luck. I've been watching for years - since before you moved in there! and now I have a proper paying job it's time for me to front up and repay you for the inspiration, tips and entertainment. Time for some merch and a marking knife to come to Australia.
What a fun tour! Congrats on your big next step….I’m so happy for you! I don’t envy the task ahead of you to get it all over there, though! 😂
What I always say about workshop size is decide how much space you think you need then quadruple it. So 1,500 sq ft may be a bit on the tight side. Could make it in a pinch though. Good luck Matt.
best of luck to you mate ! I really hope the move goes well and we'll be able to see you up and running soon ! The knife is amazing, thanks a lot !
Looking forward to seeing you in your new place, thank you for sharing 👍😄🔨📐
Awesome news on moving to a new shop. Cannot wait to see what you have in store for us.
Good luck with the move, I will be following you on your journey, although I don’t comment often I’ve been following you since you slept in your workshop, crazy guy I thought, that got you a sub, oh! And I love the hair👍🏻
Every success in the new shop Matt, love your channel👍
Matt, I've been watching you for years. Your videos really helped me through the lockdown. I love how hard you work while maintaining your sense of humor. It's a joy to see you moving up and moving on and taking care of yourself. Looking forward to the series on building out the new space!
Good luck!!! Always enjoy your videos.
How very exciting Matt. Ive been a long-time follower, and your content is always great, keep it up mate!
Really nice set up Matt🔥Look forward to watching you make more amazing stuff!
Good for you Matt!!! Thrilled that you will be able to be in a bigger shop. Will definitely grab a marking knife when you put them up.
Excited to see the next steps! I'm slowly but surely pulling myself through the dovetailed toolbox. If your views on the rebate videos are going up, it's me watching it on repeat :P
I probably do sound like your mum, but it really is great to see you back and looking well - best wishes :)
Have to say, this has always been my favourite workshop on TH-cam. Can’t wait to see what you do with the new one!
Extraction- fit it above you (don't use valuable floor space) where you have plenty of room.. You do not 'operate' it, so it does not need to be accessible. Drop hoses means you only need one (not four!) dust extractors.
Cool updates Matt! Good luck with the move
I’ve been following you since 2018 and I’ve loved all your videos. Cannot wait for the next workshop move and wish you the best of luck 🤞
Thank you so much!
Stumbling upon your channel is one of the best things in my life, seriously I've learned so much from you that I'm confident enough to run my workshop here. Thank you so much for your videos, looking forward to see you new shop 👍
Looking forward to seeing how the move goes. Good luck Matt
I love getting to see the snowman still lurking about in your shop. I'm surprised it has survived all the nerf darts and flying chisels. Congratulations on the new shop, keep up the great work !
It’s great! Only had one fall resulting in a broken arm 😂
Great news Matt, well deserved 👍🏼
Congratulations been watching you for the longest time love your videos and the way you teach could not be happy for for you
I'm currently moving my small workshop into a midsize, similar to your existing..... caused by lot of personal decisions,
go on matt, i really appreciate your videos and the effort, you put into your projects!
thank you so much, for that many inspirations and educations!
I look forward to future videos in your new, spacious shop. You are too gifted and talented to be cramped up the way you have been. Best of luck with the transition!!!
Yes! Bring on a moving vlog series and... a shop setup
May I as an amateur woodworker wish you all the best for your move into a very justified workplace. I am now going to join your Patreon page to help in your progress. I look forward to your new projects and the next ten years.
You know you have a full shop if you have to open a door or window to fart..... When I moved, some one told me, "you will be surprised at how quickly your new shop will fill up". I said nope, it will take about 4 hours.... With your dust collector, I am hoping you will get a centralized system. FAR better than the set up you have now. Also, get a pleated paper filter. They now will filter down to about half a micron, and you get several times the area for the collected air to vent out of. Also a cyclone. Most will have a FM remote on/off switch which means you can start it from anywhere in the shop. I have a video up on 'Sanding hood for bowls' on my channel. You can get far more dust into the extractor, and keep most of it out of the air in the shop. Good luck with the move!
Very happy for you Matt. Keep up the good work. Your doing a great job. The future is bright. Best regards Adrian
Grats Matt, hope the move goes smoothly.
Best wishes, Matt. I hope the move works well for you. I remember the Big Bertha workbench build and I watched all the assembly table build videos. I remember at least one video when you maxed out your bandsaw... Look forward to seeing the new premesis.
30 years from now, I reckon Matt will look like bob ross…..
Hairs nearly there😆
It’s been mentioned before 😂
Funnily enough at this rate that is about when his next video is due 😂😂
But Bob Ross surrounded by lots of cats!!
I'm moving to! Going from 25m² to 117m² with a detached garage! I hope your move will go smoothly
Always cool to see the progession and growth from shop to shop
Good on you Matt! Just moved to a bigger place myself after finding myself in the same situation with space and functionality- best thing I ever did 👌🏻
Up n at em Matt........ New place looks fab...
Good luck to you. Thanks for bringing interesting content my way. Your right, you are talented.
Looking forward to seeing how things pan out in the new digs. It's thanks to yourself and guys like Rex Kruger that I decided to try woodwork during lock down. I hadn't picked up a saw since school and that was along time before you were even born! Any advice on veneering vintage turntables? That's the other thing lock down has to answer for🙄
I hope and wish it all works out for you.
Matt, those knives are beautiful! I missed getting one…old and slow, I guess. Best of luck o your move. I’m very excited to take this journey “with” you.
