🕵️♂️ 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.

Hello I am the Free Online Woodworking School. Come Subscribe!
I love that you left marks logo on your version. Very well done!
Just realized you also used the music he uses when explaining stuff. Very cool!
Sorry about that, I’ll remover for future
you better keep your word, you got 14k likes as of today... start modeling the next version or else... the duck gets it ... 🦆🔫
Something many don't realize is that success is often preceded by a lot of failure.
Because failures are never shown
@@smashyrashy the focus is on success. But that glosses over the process of how success is achieved. Which I feel many could benefit from. One image I saw that stuck with me was the backlot where the rotary engine was developed. They saved all the blocks they'd made as references. For acres as far as the eye could see there were engine blocks stacked up. I think they worked at it for 10 years? In that span of time they'd made a lot of engines. They really had been working hard at it. Success doesn't always strike overnight. In fact that's the rare exception.

Ooh. Hot take.
Thats why my parents had a kid after me haha
Doesn’t matter what happens, that thing looks absolutely amazing , a work of art !
Appreciate it! Thank you :)
Yeah! The first thing I thought was that I want that on my wall in a display cabinet
What incredible craftsmanship and inspiration! Being the original designer of this mechanism while collaborating with Mark, I know all too well the feeling of making a hundred iterations that result in failures and lessons learned. We actually made one-piece laser-cut version out of Baltic birch that worked decently well, but nothing to the level of craftsmanship here. It didn’t make it into the final video cut, so it is incredibly fun to see someone else demonstrate wood as a viable option for a compliant mechanism. I for one would love to see another attempt and am confident it can work with some modifications. 🙌
Damn! So cool to read this! Yea perhaps a bit more testing should have been carried out before jumping into the final design so quickly. There’s definitely some potential here though. Thanks for commenting and making the design public!
One hundred and twenty third thumb.
This is the most anticlimactic yet satisfying conclution for any video I've ever seen
Gotta love a good conclution
After watching the extended video, I think you should avoid a crooked firing bar altogether. Make a straight bar from the cocking ring to the barrel, and put all the springs below it. Also use thicker springs, and glue them only to the frame. Leave them loose in the firing bar notches.
"Looks tasty."
"Oh thank you. I know I do."
"No, no... your wood."
He tried so hard, only to dig himself into a deeper hole. lol
You failed at making a gun but oh my god did you make the most unintentionally funny videos of the year.
Well, failure is ALWAYS an option! It was still fun to watch it being made regardless!
Those grips look awesome! This whole video was amazing, I really liked to see the different stages in prototyping and how you solved each problem as it was coming up. Looking forward to the next version
it's craft like these that are the reason I love blacksmithing and wood working so much. Even if they are not used as main manufacturing source anymore I'm glad to see it live on as a form of art
Love the pacing Matt! The gun looks amazing.
Thank you mate! :)
Lover the nod to Mark Rober's video (The Cereal Killer track) - great of them to give permission to use it as really works.
Awesome video and great effort!
6:05 - "18 karat, very pure, and here is the brown sauce taken from the foot of a 250 year old camel, in 1939..."
It's like Robin Hood meets Judge Dredd. Love it!!
An idea for the bit that broke is steam bending thin strips and then glueing them together. The corners may need some shaping but you would have largely consistent grain direction in exactly the direction you want it and no cross grain.
Really missed this kind of video- a woodworking masterclass! Amazing. Keep the woodworking coming!!
Brilliant efforts Matt look forward to version 2.0 keep up the great work, loving your videos.
Cheers Tim!
Awesome video. So cool to see the new and old techniques used in designing it. Would love to see another crack at it to see how the design changes.
I love the credits to Mark Rober by playing his explaining background music :)
"We thought it wood work“ I see what you did there :)
That's the gun that could defeat Magneto!
Man you're way too underappreciated. Keep up the AMAZING work!!
Matt it is lovely to see you back!
That 1 to 1 drawing to marking out technique is awesome. Worth watching for this tip alone.
Hell yeah man! I caught Lateralus on the car stereo! Spiral out brother!
Awesome build! Well done. :0)
hope Rober sees this because you do his plans a great service. Amazing problems solving!
Next, teach trees to grow fibers in the shape of Mark Rober's gun.
Really cool build. Hope to see your progress in the future.
the way my mouth opened at the end. absolutely shocking! anyways, good luck on making it work! very interested in seeing the final result lol
Dude, what a fun project. Great job!
Mark Rober would be proud of your creativity and process, especially the failures. It may not have worked out this time, but I know that you'll be able to get it next time
We're getting closer and closer to defeating Magneto, please keep up the good work
3D printed upgraded to wood. Now... Wood to metal? Then metal to carbon fiber? Then.... Ummm... Diamonds.
Bro put all this time effort for it to not work. Instead of delivering he said “eh” and posted the video for the paycheck anyway. I respect the hustle just wish I didn’t get hustled into watching a 20 min video for the damn thing to not work.
Loved the video Matt. going back to a bar discussion at Makers last year.....Get it CUT!!!
I think making the bending parts out of High pressure laminate or some kind of engineered wood might help with strength
Ah yes, A fellow cultured Tool fan, and also a maker. Good man. :)
the narrative tension and storytelling in this video was as impressive as the piece itself! (/pos)
WOW. The detail the skill. A master at work..
Thank you for still posting even though it didn't work
Compliant Mechanism on wood is so interesting!
That is an awful lot of work packed onto 18 mins!! phenomenal effort.
Yea was a bit of a nightmare to edit! Appreciate it!
Mate ... this is wonderfully bonkers ... love it!!
Best feedback ever. Thank you!
The feeling when the feature to make prints from a mesh is added to fusion a week or so after the vid drops
Your production quality is theough the roof and you made a BEAUTIFUL piece of art, even if it didnt function as intended 😅 awesome work!!
Ayyy Lateralus is so good.
That sucks that it ended up not working, but it did look amazing! Great video!
Make it again it’s too beautiful to be dysfunctional
That was awesome. Give us more!
Finally, the wooden gun reed richards made to counter magneto
Mark: Makes nerf gun out of one piece
Matt:
But yeah I get why you did it, I just think it's a crazy juxtaposition, it sucks that it didn't work.
Matt Estlea, fine furniture and fine weapons wood worker.
7:35 Tool Lateralus 🤘
I've seen people make stabilizing wood by infusing the wood with resin. I wonder if that would make the body more ridged and less prone to breaking
I had to come back to leave a like, just to see a future video with this crazyness :D
looks like a dominator from psycho pass, nice design
I was SO confused as the video started in the background, as you sound so similar to Jackfrags :D :D
Wood Jesus has finally snapped like the short grain we all came to despise. It all started with those insanely sharp chisels, and now GUNS?! 😮
Everyone has potential for a villain arc. 👀
"For the inside I want to use yew"
Me absentmindedly "Me?! Oh wait."
Mate great work always love your work and so happy your back been to long
Thank you!
Great idea and video. That’s how you do a laser integration. Hope @markrober sees it.
Maybe only use cereal killer 1 time in the video next time…
Magneto is quaking in his boots right now.
look forward to version 2 and 3
the "checkered pattern you see on gun stock" is called knurling
Totally thought you were jackfrags
Amazing work!
I love it 5 month hiatus and we jump back in with a nerf gun. Perfect!
It's almost a meme by this point 😂 Thank you!
@@MattEstlea me or not. We do enjoy your journey. I hope you have settled in well, and I look forward to the content that maybe gives us a glimpse into that.
0:43 that’s a super cool bass in the background
15:29 - The literal *moment* I saw those wooden rods trying to bend I thought to myself "oh hell no this isn't going to work at all lmao" and I was right
Great first try though!
good to see you back :)
Brandon Herrera called; He wants his hair and GunTube back! Nice project Matt. Take care & stay safe.
Haha! I wasn't aware of him but can definitely understand the likeness. Man doesn't know whats coming.
That was such a surprising result.
👍👍👍.Thanks. Matt
When you're a Druid in a D&D Campaign, but you spend all your skill points in Gunsmithing.
Let's see the next iteration already!
Aaaw noooo! I was pulling for you! At least the gun is forgeous.
You went back to school….. to make a ……. Flat piece of wood lol I wish my school had a wood shop like that, we had welding which is just as fun..
Using the biggest machine in the department may I add 😂
looks great, gotta get it right though
All hail King Matt!
Hey man, cool project. Have you considered impregnating the "spring" or fins made from yew wood with some kind of rubbery/elastic liquid compound? Not sure if this is possible, but it looks like you have a vacume tank and pump, so if you could find the right chemical, it might add to the flexability and maybe durability of the fins? Just a thought ;)
The end of the video is what made me like and subscribe!
Its crazy how this has taken off
What a great project, i'm a huge fan of your work, You shoudl attemp to build a watch
do you need that odd shape? if the hammer was straight rather than kinked, it could also be thicker. You could have shorter fins on top and underneath (and/or to the sides), which would apply a lot more force (might need a screw to cock it). It'd be easier to fabricate and might actually work
Great vid as always Matt. How are you getting on with the camper van series. Will you have any more upcoming vids. Would love to see how it turned out.
Check out Matt’s van channel if you haven’t already! youtube.com/@MattsVan?si=Pq-DOoZMEW7GWA9h
He’s posting fairly regularly there atm and there should be a main channel van video coming soon (ish) 👍
@@RobHarveyMusic Those videos on that channel are not new. They're edits of the van videos posted on the main channel, the last of which with any new content for that project was posted 8 months ago.
@@samuelpduncan Yes, they don’t highlight anything new. But they have a lot more unseen content that might be valuable to someone interested in watching the series 👍
Magneto is quaking rn
Hey so depending what cad you use you can grab a pic of the model in cad. Though the photo copy mthod works.
What if you used vineer or steamed wood to make the spring body in essence 1 piece. Yeah it would be a pain to make but it would remove the weakness in the joints.
The entertainment leading up was enough to mitigate the snap at the end 😂
Haha oh man I felt so guilty watching everyone get excited in the chat during the live premiere 😂cheers Robin!
10k likes wow we will be waiting
Im surprised you used dovetails on something so small. My understanding is that with modern glue creating a stronger bond than the wood fibers themselves, joints like that, particularly at small scales, just weaken the wood itself increasing the odds of breaking.
My heart broke a little at the end.
Mark: here's a simple 1 component, functioning nerf
Matt: 😅
Sorry Matt but the title of this video alone got you on the FBI watch list lol
Really needed woodfill PLA as a comparison
Working a lot that is a beautiful gun handsome fantastic craftsmanship I'm just confused what happened at the end it looked fine to me was that the blue breaking loose or did something snap
Hahaha brilliant! That must be so frustrating even if you can’t laugh it off.
Laughing is the best form of therapy imo... and I'm gonna need a lot of it 😂
looks really cool, lots of work put into, you still could have mentioned it not working at the start of the video.
Can't believe I heard that: "It looks tasty ... Your wood." This is a family channel, guys - keep it clean!!
Great work. Well done. 👌👍
And I have a question on the lace wood: what finish did you use? I happened to build myself a tv cabinet from lace wood, but still figuring out what finish to use. Everything I tried so far is either completely colourless (best option so far) or waaaay too dark.
Tung Oil!
