My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 23 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.
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.
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 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.

Due to the popularity of this Van Conversion series, I am relocating it to a dedicated Van Conversion Channel! youtube.com/@mattsvan The Matt Estlea 2 Channel was originally for shitposting and used as a proving ground for ideas we have, without the risk of damaging the main channels (Matt Estlea) ranking in KZfaqs search algorythms. Ideally we'd like to continue using it for this purpose, but are concious of clogging up the feeds of people who only signed up for van related content. Hence the dedicated channel. It also means I can use the dedicated channel for travel vlogs and other van related content once the conversion is complete which sounds fun. Go subscribe!

Ah, the old workshop! Nice to see it again in its former glory 🥲

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

I totally had the same ‘400 v 335’ issue. I even made the frame at 335 although i had already measured at 400…I knew there was something wrong. I actually felt a greater sense of achievement finding this tutorial (I laughed) then finishing it…72 hours later🙄. Thanks buddy!

@xanaharmsen4014 2 ай бұрын

omg! I was just getting super confused about the exactly the same thing as you did! 400 mm versus 355, also thinking we bought the wrong one. Have seen video's of people having these hollow boxes sitting on the top of the roof... Happy I am not the only one and happy I got my answers here!

Great and informative, never seen a vent frame look so tidy!

Great to see you back on this channel! So much fun watching your videos! Your level of wood working skills amazes me and paired with your British humour makes it a joy to watch 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great Job Matt, however the Hole Saw that you used is a general purpose hole saw. For cutting sheet metal use a sheet metal hole saw. From Bosch, the Blue ones, you will get a much cleaner finish.

Having a variety of tools to use only make doing projects like this much easier and more accurate, and if people can't afford the tools that you have to do the same job there alternatives as you have rightly said. Anyone laying criticisms at for having more tools at you disposal haven't see what your background is and why you have and need all the tools that you do have. I am lucky enough to own a lot of tools and machines, but I have them to do my own projects and work for other people also.

You're the hand tool dovetail speedrun world champion. You don't need to deal with criticism about powertools, your bona fides are well documented.

The Milwaukee hex shank Shockwave hole saws are awesome as they have a really thin wall. They cut perfect holes in stainless and mild steel and because they are thin wall do not wander and cause an oversized hole. I use them with a regular drill and cutting fluid but can be used with impact driver

You should check with some RV stores they sell a fantastic fan vent that the opening faces backwards so in all weather you can leave your vents open in all weather year round

Blooming hec Matt... anyone that worries over your bridals for this, wants to find a new hobby...

@sashabeep Жыл бұрын

imho, that layered tape under the hatch looks bad. A cleaner solution would be to make a transition frame with notches for the ribs on a 3d printer and that would require much less sealant. It could also be made from a solid piece of PVC or rubber with a hand router

It's easy for you if you have the tools :P p.s. I hope you enjoyed the affiliation money when I purchased my bandsaw and PT from axminster (some time ago) :) But honestly great job, I'm certain the majority of van conversions aren't done anywhere near as carefully.

Not criticizing you, but I found this hilarious: when you showed the bench hook I was like "Oh nice, that makes sense, since you push the material into it!" and then you proceed to use a pull-saw.. oof 😄 And to top it all off you plug in a link to "how to saw correctly" 😂

@neobaggins3718 Жыл бұрын

“Not criticizing you, buuuut” proceeds to needlessly criticize…at least own it. Don’t try to downplay being a dick.

@Aethid 3 ай бұрын

The saw provides virtually no force at all against the wood. It makes no difference whether you use a push or pull saw here. You are pushing the wood into the bench hook with your offhand to hold it in place.

Nice but as I would rather watch you woodworking videos I am watching this for the comedic value!

I'm curious why you used a jigsaw instead of a mini grinder??

@doubledarefan 8 ай бұрын

Probably because the jigsaw does not throw sparks.

I'm disappointed. You said "let's get the fan on" then you got the fan in, but you didn't get the fan _ON_ 😂

That’s a lot of flange. That is all. 😅

@Erik_The_Viking Жыл бұрын

Great job! Reminds me of when we modified our old van back in the day. You had to be extremely precise with the cutting, and getting the windows and fans to fit with the support ribs was a challenge to prevent leaks and other issues.
