How I Made an Oak Toolbox 🌳 (And how you can too)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2021
- If you've ever seen one of my demos in store or at events (hey, remember them?) you may have noticed the small toolbox I use to hold all my equipment. Well after many questions about it over the years, I finally got round to filming a tutorial on how to make it.

🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea and I’m a Woodworker from Basingstoke, England. My aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years of TRAINING at Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, 5 years of experience WORKING at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke, and 3 years TEACHING both day classes and evening classes at Rycotewood Furniture Centre. All while trying to get this TH-cam thing off the ground.
By September 2021, I packed it all in to focus on TH-cam and my business full-time.
Want to know more about how I crammed all this experience into such a short period of time? See my experience and qualifications here:

Ah it's good to be back. Thanks to everyone who left a kind comment on my past video (now hidden)
I wasn't able to respond to everyone, but I can guarantee I read each and every one and really appreciate the support. Even the tough love from the haters ;)
While I won't be up to full speed straight away, hopefully this 15 part series will tide you over until the next video. The link can be found in the description.
Love you all :)
You are stronger now ! 😘😘😘
Glad you're back. I hope you're feeling better, although it's a rocky road and every day's different.
Yes...! The Talent is back :)
Nice to have you back on deck mate! :-) Hope life is being kind to you! Looking forward to seeing what rolls around in your imagination and exits through your fingers into things of beauty! Rock on!
The best way out is through! And you have made that choice... Good man! :)
I don't know if you see comments made on 2 year old offerings but on the odd chance that you will, I just want to say you really do these right. Your teaching style being only a part of it. The editing and content in general are great and the amount of crossed referenced inf. in the free online school is enormously thorough and well organized. I can't imagine the amount of work that went into assembling these tutorials but I'm guessing it was more than the actual woodworking part of the equation. Thank you for doing what you do so well.
"I'm never cutting dovetails again" next video dovetail world record 😂
Yeah 😂 that aged like milk
When the world needed him most he sat eating belvita until we didn't need him as severely.
Great video btw
Ladies & gentlemen He's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
May the 4th be with you dear Matt.
Don’t know if you understand how good it was to get the notification you posted a video! Love it!
Dude, the editing and humor on this video is next level! Glad to see your spirits up!
Tis a good project to be fair!
After first making a (rather shoddy) dovetailed box when I was 17, I followed your video on cutting dovetails to the letter, and 18 years later made a rather nice tool chest from some oak floorboards. Watching your videos always inspires me to get into homework mode (in the pattermaking workshop) and make something nice. Glad to see you're back.
The day has been tough up until I fired up TH-cam and watched my usual suspects make sawdust. Now as I am close to finishing up, you come along with this video. Looks like I saved the best for last, eh. It's good to see the mischief and the fire in those eyes again, Matt. "Smooth sailing" you said - be the classic, wooden sailing yacht. Not the speedboat.
I am kind of on the fence with the toolbox. One one hand, you have outdone yourself with this box, both with design and craftsmanship. I especially love the lid. On the other hand, I'd really, REALLY like a handle on a toolbox so I can pick it up with one hand. That, however, may create new esthetic problems ... Sigh. It's never easy, is it.
I have been avoiding the uploaded parts of the project up until now, so I can binge watch them. Thank you for this one.
Welcome back, Matt. Please keep on helping us built more beautiful things. I just finished the box and couldn’t be more happy with the way it turned out. It helped taking my mind of all the problems in the hospital. Thanks so much!
Great to see you producing stuff again. Hope you're back in a good headspace. Great project, beautiful work as always.
Top project. Glad to see you back!! Matt, always follow your heart and do whatever makes you happy, whether its youtube or not!
I like your honesty on making mistakes, it learning how to fix them that makes your videos awesome.
Glad to see your back, Matt. Seeing a young man with so much love for woodworking is great!
Can feel you coming back with this awesome video ! No pressure ! We can always rewatch the old ones . 😘
Glad to see you’re back and cutting those incredible dovetails!
Good to see you making videos again, thank you. I hope you are feeling better about yourself. You have something to offer people, you contribute to other people lives and make them better. Cheers
Bloody brilliant to watch. Very calming and mesmerising at the same time.
saw your ( hidden) video on facebook, it takes courage to make that, glad you are back, stay safe, stay happy love what you do and in time i will try this project
Well, I saw only two videos from you, but I am heavyly impressed by your woodworking and editoring skills. Stoked to see more!
great to see you back!!
Nice saw!
I wonder where that saw came from 😉
Just you wait Rob, there’s more to come 👀 👀
We cant afford your saws with Brexit and no public sector pay rises for 5 years paying for both Brexit and covid.
My work improved more than I thought possible after I got Rob’s dovetail saw. I thought I had good saws before! Thanks Matt and Rob. Two Good Guys!
ooOOOOOOOhhh - that definitely was satisfying to watch :) thanks again. Can't wait to get started on mine.
Hey Matt, everyone has crap to work through, nice box and I look forward to future builds if that’s what you want to do ! You’re a skilled woodworker and a nice guy with a great sense of humor, these are the reasons I enjoy your videos ~
Outstanding craftsmanship.
Great to see you back on form, Matt. Cool project too. Wish I could do dovetails like that....
Beautiful box, and majestic editing !
Love your work. You are inspirational!
Glad you're doing content again.
Welcome home! And you are most welcome... I bust my shoulder a few months ago (recuperating) and I missed your content almost as much as I miss the workshop.
Amazing! Im amazed by the details! You did a great job displaying that very well! I’m in the process of getting familiar with the functions of the tools for woodworking. Thank you for sharing!
Nice to see you back posting new videos - love the new toolbox series! Looking forward to the Baby Bertha, as I could use one.
Crispy, as always! Love it
The definition of simple elegance.
Good to see you back :)
Nice job! Wow, great dovetails!
Great to see you back on my feed Matt.
Welcome back! CHOO CHOO THE WOODWORKING TRAIN IS BACK IN ACTION.
Yes!! Glad to see you back!! Favorite chippy ( aside from the one that does good pies )
Welcome back Matt!!!
hair game strong - i'm still cultivating mine - good to see you back!
Great to see you back - looks like you’ve recovered your mojo. Onward and upward Matt!
This was a really cool video I loved the project and the music. And as always the edit was superb !
Beautiful work! I love EVERYTHING about this channel! 👍👍👍
This was such a great series!
Absolutely beautiful! I received my dovetail guide and saw a week ago. My marking knife is due in today. I think this will be my first project. Not for tools, but I think a better purpose would be for seeds for our veg. garden.
Don't wait so long between videos, we've missed them :)
Thanks heaps for doing all this. There was a a huge amount of work that went into it and a lot of knowledge and experience require to do so. Again - thanks heaps.
I have watched you grow over the years, while I know you have had some ups and downs over the last year or so. I hope things are looking up for you. I enjoyed this video alot, you have developed a real nack for teaching, I am sure you are like the rest of us we are always learning, but your gift is you continue to pass the knowledge on. I love the miteres you do they spot on somethng I do need to master. I only wish you all the best Matt and team, as I know you are no longer alone and that is good. Look forward to seeing what next thanks.
Great to see you back Matt keep going ...................just breathe.................just be you.................just keep creating.....................LOVE YOUR WORK!
Woo hoo glad to see you back chum. Great work as usual.
such a high density of incredibly beautiful shots.
Beautiful work!
Matt, don’t ever underestimate your skills, particularly in woodworking and teaching. It’s human nature for those of us that are humble to do that. I view a lot of videos, but your channel is one of the few to which I am subscribed. As a fellow introvert, know that you are truly appreciated by so many people. Cheers Mate!
Aw YEAH! I been waiting for this!
Woohoo Matt video drop!! Made my week 🎉🎉
I love the new ISH format
Keep it up Matt
Oh and good to see you back Matt :)
amazing work! love your videos!
Brilliant video Matt will put together
You're a good un Matt, I've been here from the beginning, and will be here till the end.
Woodworking time-lapse + lo-fi/jazz-hop/chill-hop = heaven
awesome tool box
Matt Estlea, what a pleasure that was to watch. I've been following you for years now and I have to say other than the Bertha series this has definitely been my favourite video of yours. Those dovetails would put Rob Cosman to shame too by the way. Great to see you again.
hi Matt. thanks fir the effort you put in the other channel. Really appreciate that.
Nice job Matt 👍
Great piece. Nice work
I have just found you through your how to sharpen chisels. You are an awesome craftsman and a great teacher. I am now going through your back catalogue 🙂
Welcome back mate. missed your content
Good to see you!
Now everything will be fine again - the master is back!
I don't think it's possible for me to love this any more
Recently saw in Wood magazine a much more simplified yet still dovetailed tool caddy. What was really nice was that it seemed like rather than have 1/2 pins on the bottom, the craftsman offset the layout upward to create a full mitered corner on the bottom. Looks like you did the same but the video breezed through your progress step to quickly. Really is a nice detail probably not "caught" unless specifically explained or something the viewer has seen before.
Great video! I’m going to buy the plans and tackle this one. In walnut.
Nice job Matt, you are certainly a good joiner
Very high energy video! I like it
Fine work, Matt. Beautiful box. Will definitely be making one (or more) of my own. The only difference is that I will add brass inlays in the top and possibly the sides. Again, fine work.
Oh joy, no narration and lame music. My favorite combination for a video on woodworking.
Good to see you getting back on your feet. Your previous video I found disturbing although I'm aware the online life can be stressfull. Anyway: great video, good soundtrack and that wonderfull sense of 'Britishness' . Thank you!
Tremendous. Best TH-camr FULL STOP!
Good to see You.
👌 nice work! And great vid 👍
Lovely to see all the screw heads aligned. A sign of someone who takes pride in their work.
How this got lost in the tide of notifications when it came out I'll never know.. Beautiful video.
Watching that tray float in was fkn LUSH!!
Well done, Matt! I understand Rob C is already preparing g a response to this video, this is gonna be awesome. Game on! Stanley Cup playoffs here in the US/Canada, and dovetail duels as well!
Matt, I’m so happy to see your new video. Also, amazing dovetail workmanship. Take good care of yourself my friend!
You have helped me transition to hand tool. I still have much to learn, and you my friend, your given in-depth videos that gives me some the courage confidence to try hand cutting dovetail’s. I need much practice.
Thank You Matt for what you do, and sharing your passion with us, your a stud!
PS get a haircut :) 😝
Just like old times. Welcome back.
That is a lovely box and stunning work there, I honestly don't think I could make that in a month of Sundays
Great video, good to see you back.
Would you mind doing a tutorial video on mitered dovetails?
Looking good even without the handle! 👍
Nice bro !!
So very Awesome
If this counts as a comeback video - I’d say the part of the tray sliding in on a Cushion of air did it for me.
So zen-like.
great music as always! the box is awesome don't think I could put tools in it though.
Welcome back.
Hope you’re feeling well!!
6:33 wow, I don't know that feeling, but it must be awesome 👍
spectacular video and beautiful box, I didn't know about your woodworking school.
What kind of wood did you use?
I knew you’d be back in the saddle. I’m sure that all of us following feel the same way and we’re tremendously proud of you. And yes damn it, I’ve missed this side of you.
P.S. speaking as a fellow woodworker with my own personal battery of issues that I work through with wood work and reading during ‘me’ time. Keep the inspiration coming... no pressure 😋
