This video is for demonstration purposes only and is not a tutorial. This design is patent pending so I would kindly ask you refrain from reproducing this hardware or knife with the intention of making profit.
Also, from a moral and ettiquette perspective, if you're a seasoned engineer with all the kit who wants to rip off a 26 year old who's just getting started, why don't you give us a chance eh? ;)
For clarity, I think viewers making a knife for their own personal use is ok. In fact once design flaws have been ironed out, I may be offering these ferrules as a kit in the future. Stay tuned!

🕵️‍♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 26 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.

That drill press your working next to looks like a “pin press” to me.

I’m a full-time knife maker. I occasionally forget how terrible big batches are, and convince myself the efficiency will be worth it. It’s not.

I would love to have one of these as they are absolutely beautiful and to to help out but my own finances do not allow me to. So sorry 😢 (for you and me both 😂). Since discovering your channel you have become a favorite of mine. Even though I can’t get a knife doesn’t mean I am not cheering for you in your new workshop. I think it is a beautiful thing to grow and expand as you have done. Not just your business but you as a person too. I am positive it will feel like home in a short while. 🥰

Small batch fabrication fascinates me since it comes with its own problem solving. Did learn a few neat things from this video. Also screamed at the screen in frustration a few times, as in "why are you doing

Hey Matt, just in case you didn't already know (and for anyone else working with exotic woods). Not all woods are safe to breath their dust, or contact your skin/eyes. The wood database has better information which are potentially harmful. But it looks like you did some work with purpleheart which is a "sensitizer" which means the more of it you work with and breath in / are exposed to the more severe an allergy to it you can develop. Its highly recommended you wear adequate breathing protection as not to breath in the dust particles created by it, because the more you breath the worse a reaction you can develop every following time you use it. Its also recommended to use eye protection that seals around your eyes as not to let the dust get into them as they can develop a similar allergy.

Well, I’ve missed out again, but, by god do I have respect for the amount of time and effort that you put in. If there’s ever a chance I get one, great, but if not, I think a kit version is a great idea. I hope these sales give you the chance to bring the move, etc into fruition. All the best to you Matt.

For the pin issue: Try to use your drill press. Just create two holders. One for the blade holder and one for the pin. The one for the pin should have a shallow hole for the pin and a magnet so the pin dont fall. Put the pin holder in the chuck, bladeholder beneath and done. There is your new pin press. You can make the pin holder even for two pins at the same time, so you save one workstep.

I am just so happy to see how much freaking work goes into these and thank you for sharing.. sometimes I find that creators don’t show all of the toil, mistakes, and frustration that goes into making the things they make and I appreciate that you do👊🏾

Missed the last couple batches, so excited that I managed to get an order in for one of Padauk ones with a bronze ferrule. Can't wait to get it in the mail
