Gluing TWO Boxes Together - The Garden Workshop #5

I braved the weather today and managed to get back out into the garden to continue working on the first two boxes. I managed to get both of them glued and ready to be addressed on a sunnier day!

My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 24 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. I now teach City and Guilds Furniture Making at Rycotewood as of September 2018.
If you're interested in studying at Rycotewood, view their courses here:
www.mattestlea.com/rycotewood
I also had 5 years of experience working at Axminster Tools and Machinery where 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 at the start of 2019 to focus solely on video creation and teaching.
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.

[@michaelmiller5177]

Matt, I hope these projects are helping you out. I've been watching your workshop move videos today for the first time. My man, you worked your balls off for that shop. Turning a shit hole dump like that into a first rate wood shop; was incredible. I didn't even believe it was the same shop at first and I hope you get back in there soon, because you've earned every square millimeter of the place.

[@arbitrarystuff1229]

With your plan to leave boxes outside in the rain to tighten up the joints - would my tears over my shit joinery be suitable?

[@purv989]

As someone who has a tight workspace, too, these garden videos are something I can relate to. Please keep building!

[@dale1956ties]

It drives me crazy when the channels I really like have views that are orders of magnitude larger than the numbers of likes. It's such a simple thing to do. Doesn't cost anything and really takes zero effort. Just get in the habit of doing it.

[@stephanieray6587]

Ooooh... finish before glue! Brilliant!

[@fthaver5737]

Hi Matt, love watching your video's. I'm 58 and 2 years ago I started learning woodworking as therapy after an eye operation. You, among several other youtubers have taught me a lot. Thank you for that and keep up the good work.

[@louc28]

Your tightened wood box gave me an idea on my butcher bloc. I had little gap (approximate: 1/32) between some of my joint in a maple bloc. I just tryed spraying water with a push bottle. I got the gaps wet (I mean almost soaked in) and let them dry overnight. It didn't do a perfect job but a lot of those little gaps are less visible!!!! :-) Big fan of what you do! I gotta say that you motivated me on a lot of days to just go in my home shop and do something out of wood! Keep up the goodwork even if the actual situation is not perfect. Big love, LC

[@stevebosun7410]

Hi Matt, great work once again. Can't wait for your first gardening video.

[@1deerndingo]

I have to give you difficulty points for doing it in the rain. Well done.

[@scottgl06]

Well done on working in shite conditions Matt. Keep it up mate!!!

[@benjaminvermeulen961]

I was literally picking my nose when you said: "stop picking your nose" at 5:30. So I liked and subscribed. Good Content Matt. Love your format!

Your channel is the only one that the music goes really well with the work being done. Great work.

[@kevinmcmullan100]

Can't wait for the "Boxes done!! Now for some gardening." video.

[@thomasz.127]

At least the weather is back to normal in UK - I was really getting worried about you having to get a gazebo to block the sun....

[@EthanAnderson]

That title gore... if you glue the boxes together, you basically just have one box with two lids! :)

[@giannimariglia1325]

Reverse one of your quick clamps to pull apart the boxes

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Keep trucking on Matt. Rain, Shine, who cares your doing great. An inspiration. And then I go to my conditioned wood and metal shop in my back lot and feel shamed!

[@brianmoan]

Brilliant again thanks mate.

[@frankstover3444]

Uuuug! I feel your pain on the weather!!! Sunny and 85 degrees in California USA

[@1pcfred]

I was just thinking while watching that he should move to southern California. Lot less rain there.

[@jordanmcguire7302]

This is the only channel that I’ve liked a video, great work Matt!

[@danielgeng2306]

Hi Matt, a subscriber and a liker here. You should probably do one out OSB just to be consistent! Lol

[@dontfret147]

Woohoo 3000!! Keep up the amazing work Matt, even if you don’t feel inspired right now please know that you inspire me!

[@greigotee8585]

Five thumbs up from me and all of my Aussie mates

[@moonwolf7135]

I like flocking the inside of my boxes it's a lot nicer then when people try gluing felt sheets down.

[@barryevans9691]

Time for you to purchase Bosch T101ao blades

[@jasondodd2769]

Hi Matt, as always I love your videos, and the likes and subscribers has increased. Hope you get that 3000 mark. I'm surprised it's not a lot higher as your work and videos are tops class. You demonstrate everything perfectly from start to finish. Top Class Work.

[@TobiasSebastien]

I wish I could press like multiple times, you definitely deserve 300.000 likes! Thank you for doing what you are doing, I learned a lot from you.

[@jeffdutton1910]

Have you ever tried reversing the jaws on your pistol grip clamps to separate a very tight dry fit?

[@dibblethwaite]

This reminds me of last summer when I built a small boat in drive with my neighbour Magda. At least a boat is going to end up sat in water so humidity is less of a worry but fine woodworking like you're doing is a real challenge. I hope Magda has been in touch with you BTW. She's a nurse and a told her she should apply for one of your boxes.

[@duncanvlaar8017]

Everyone: Your garden looks like shite... Matt: *picks up jigsaw* fixed it! #epic #nailedit

[@StangspringDK]

True woodworker style, or should he have used a Veritas chisel? Or a circular saw?

[@chrisjordan4210]

Or trim the lawn with a router, edging with a track saw.

[@SteveZodiac777]

Another great video - thanks Matt. In particular I like how in this series the really useful tools emerge, eg. the shooting board. That said, enough is enough - return to your comfy warm workshop. I hate to see your tools and work getting wet!

[@TravelAgentCale]

Your garden is the best! I really do love everything about your style and channel! Keep up the great work!

[@ginawhite1503]

I like the cutting of nettles with a jigsaw! Maybe there is a way to use a weed wacker on the boxes!

[@danmandic6935]

you can remove the head on those clamps and put them back on facing the other direction so the clamps now push open instead of close tight....would work great for disassembling the boxes

[@ThePhilGrimm]

I was thinking that but I fear they would be too big for a small box.

[@ivanmatic8121]

Hi Matt, could you please increase vocals volume during postprocessing or increase gain during recording. Music hit me like a hammer within the video.

[@001CHRISBLACK]

Well... I was actually picking my nose when you were saying stop picking your nose ... Great videos as always, might try get back into some hand cut joinery 👍🏻

[@mortimerwoodworks3]

Hi Matt likening the work m8 how about one out of pallet wood cus not everyone can get hard wood m8

[@brendangallagher732]

You only need to connect one corner to accurately size the base - as you discovered, taking apart a damp dovetailed box won’t do your joints much good! Then stick your base lining on with double sided tape before glue up. Just make sure your groove is wide enough.

[@Josh_MandJ_autos]

Top gardening teccers with that jigsaw matt !! Might give that one a go haha

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic job, Matt! 😃 There's a trick woodturners use to take humidity out of the world... I just don't remember if they use a normal oven or a microwave oven. 😬 Stay safe there! And try to stay dry! 🖖😊

[@MicroFourThirdsCorner]

Goo one Matt. Glad to see you struggle like us mere mortals :)

[@1pcfred]

Could have put some scrap wood blocking inside those boxes then drove a wedge in to break them apart. The inclined plane has a lot of mechanical advantage going for it. I keep some wooden wedges around for this and that.

[@jeremymoskaluk5444]

Count me in for a like 👍 always enjoy your projects Matt

[@KB_Interiors]

You could have used the clamps you have in spreading mode to disassemble the boxes but it wont be funny. :)

[@MattEstlea]

They wouldn’t fit!

[@sparkyenergia]

Pressed the 'like' button while it said 2.9K, was hoping it would change to a 3k. It didn't.

[@dirdick43]

Just checked this out - I look forward to each of these videos ... and I remember to press "like" . Keep up the work with limited equipment - it's reflective of the equipment and bench I work on. Thank you.

[@theworkshopboxshop]

Thanks Matt for putting together a great video I'll be in my shed tomorrow thank you for the inspiration 💯👍📏📐

[@failzilla]

Have my like Sir!

[@danielanderson5364]

Good video

[@samdelonas7079]

Hi Matt, got the message about subscribing... Quick question, I love the Veritas shooting board and shooting plane. I know they are very expensive especially here in Australia. The both here in Australia would cost a combined $1,000. Having your time over would you buy them again?

[@kabyla8351]

2:06 Improve your woodworking and ... "Take It To The Next Level" shirt would be cool. Thanks Matt.

[@chrisp7957]

Always fun watching the struggle. Good video but it shut down just after you said that you waxed the bottom of the box

[@ammcknockiter]

Wonder how the gazebo held up even now?

[@hamishkearney542]

thanks again matt fro another great video really enjoying this series you are inspiring me to get back outside and cut some more dovetails. what is your opinion on Japanese vs Western saws for cutting dovetails?

[@samgooding-matthews3175]

Told you was going to need that bigger shed 😂😂

[@tobyarn1]

Managed to hit Like whilst also picking nose. Achievement Unlocked

[@Workshop-of-Allsorts]

Matt, there is no option to like when watching on smart TV which I normally do.....lucky for you this evening I’m on my iPad 😉 could be some of the problem and I am already a subscriber for quite a while. Are you going to auction the boxes to raise a few quid ? You are so talented mate !! 👏👏👏

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

I was actually picking my nose when you said that, I feel much shame!

[@geraldreichelt2441]

Does England have sunny days? We could be waiting a while.

[@AlBorland3877]

@Matt Estlea Can you actually see, at which time stamp we click thumbs up? That would be interesting. ^^

[@andrewmills4934]

AlBorland3877 same here. Was just getting into the video and it stopped playing.

[@Cactustone]

How do you prevent the corners of your pieces from tearing out when you use your shooting board?!

[@RayJayJrUke]

Could you have reversed the head on a hand squeezed clamp and used that to push off the sides of the boxes?

[@MattEstlea]

Nope! They don’t fit!

[@oven2066]

Looking good! If the fit on the dovetails was so tight though, was the glue really necessary? It's extremely unlikely that there will be the right forces applied to them to accidentally disassemble them during normal usage, no?

[@skf957]

I agree - I’ve had 4 oak drawers in daily use for 12 years now where the dovetails were so tight and accurate (I can’t take the credit - I used a Woodrat), I didn’t use any glue when I assembled them. No tendency whatsoever to come apart. But it doesn’t feel right, almost like a bodge.

[@brendangallagher732]

Except when it shrinks and falls apart🙂

[@rentregagnant]

I 'liked' the video. Now for my nose...

[@Skylinegtrbnr34]

Hi Matt I have a off topic question just curious what's your opinion on axminister trade table saws the reviews are very mixed I'm a bit worried about one on particular that said the t track slots were not parallel it's a lot of money for me would you recommend them ?keep up the good work your videos are top quality

[@LegoMan-cz4mn]

sorry Matt, can't subscribe twice :) and those nifty squeeze clamps, you can turn those around to push right?

[@Gummetje76]

Is it just me or is this the second #4 video in this series?

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

Matt, just remind the children out there, cutting weeds in the rain with a Battery Jigsaw might be fine, but using dad's corded version for the same task, might not deliver favourable results? LOL!

[@markduggan3451]

Why would anyone not subscribe to your channel?

[@danhill8071]

Anyone else having issues with this video playing through. Just stopped dead on me and told me “something went wrong. Tap to retry”. No problem with internet, other vids playing fine

[@danhill8071]

Stops at 10.16. Very odd, and annoying was enjoying it a lot! Help

[@roberthahn8555]

I scrubbed past 10:16 then played the rest. Are you guys watching on iOS devices? I’m watching on an iPad.

Probably why some people aren’t liking the videos is because they can’t. Like me their watching KZbin on the tv.

Hey Matt, do you have any videos of you building that hand tools chest you showed in episode #1 of the Garden Workshop?

[@MattEstlea]

Unfortunately not. But it’ll be project 3 in the Free Online Woodworking School. I hope to get started on it in August :)

[@dumendra]

@@MattEstlea Awesome, thanks for the reply. Looking forward it and all your other videos!

[@gregmislick1117]

Matt - if you are going to felt the bottom of the box....wasn't waxing it a mistake? Or do you have magic stuff to sort that out later?

[@MattEstlea]

We will see... my guess is a mistake 😂

[@1pcfred]

@@MattEstlea I have this little hooked scraper that is just amazing. I bet it'd get to the bottom of the box. Wow I found one online. It is great for scraping glue squeeze out in the corners of boxes too. It is a 10 Cornwell cs1 www.ebay.com/itm/312338421665 I grind it to have a burr.

[@Crushwokery]

Hello Matt, Firstly I'm surprised you didn't buy a gazebo with sides, secondly I'm equally surprised you didn't position the gazebo so it is up against the shed so you can move between gazebo and shed in the dry😉😏🤔. Going back to episode 1. Have a little more faith in yourself Mr. Your a very telented craftsman. I will be brutally honest here, I watched everything you put out in your early years when you didn't have you all singing all dancing toys. I'm really pleased for you and the success you have worked so hard to achieve, however, I began to loose interest after you moved into your now workshop and finished the assembly/cutting table. I lost interest because there are tons of folk with mega shops crammed full of expensive kit we can only drool over because we either can't afford them for lack of space or financial restraints. I have a feeling your creative block comes from your raw talent being shadowed buy your super fantastic equipment. You always brought good enthusiastic interesting content when it was you, your hand tools and those magic hands of yours. This garden workshop is brilliant, we can all relate to what you're doing and marvel at the skills you are forced to showcase having to go back to basics during these difficult time we all have to endure. Remember, there are plenty of Mark Spagnuolos of this world but only one Mat Estlea and one Paul Sellers. I have total respect for people like Mark Spagnuolo but those channels are more like tool shows. Right, that's my Victor Meldrew session done 😊 I wish you all the very best and success for the future👍

[@blueknight9748]

great video,,but can you keep the music volume the same as your voice,,,,,

Hi Matt, just an FYI some of us watch from other devices like an Apple TV on the living room telly and it aint easy nor straight forward to click like or similar - and commenting well thats a proper pain in the arse! "Alexa, tell Matt he was silly leaving his bench out in the rain" Alexa - "who the fuck is Matt?" Reach for laptop, find your post etc etc...

[@heymrguitarman7637]

I understand the staying at home thing, but if you'd worked from the workshop alone surely you'd have been ok? Assuming you live somewhere reasonably close that is

Music too loud!!!

[@1pcfred]

The music is pretty slamming if the sound system you're using has some kick to it. I think the amp I use is 370 Watts? It is an old Blu-Ray player. A Sony.

[@alaskanmal]

Matt,, why oh why do you persist with having the music so much louder than the speech , I am forever turning the volume up and down, I would prefer no music because I want to hear what you are saying. Surely it can't be that difficult to set the volume at editing time.

[@EthanAnderson]

Agreed, especially the really bass-heavy intro music on the non-covid videos. The music is fine but it should be normalized with the audio in the video.

Finding this series a bit depressing!
