I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre and 4 years experience working at Axminster Tools and Machinery where I still currently work on weekends.

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.

    I just used my new LN No.62 LA Jack today for the first time. It’s the first quality plane I’ve bought
    for myself. Lie-Nielsen knows how to make outstanding tools, no regrets.



  2. Wesley Robert on January 15, 2022 at 9:02 pm

    Fantastic video. Right on time for me. I’m in search of the right hand planes for my growing shop. Thank you.



  3. PBMS123 on January 15, 2022 at 9:02 pm

    You will be able to do most things with a No. 4 jack (easily the most common), a No 7 jointing plane, a block plane, and scraping plane, and a set of chisels



  4. Adam Jarrett on January 15, 2022 at 9:03 pm

    If someone is specifically getting to guitar building, would your advice change at all?



  5. AJ Cressey on January 15, 2022 at 9:03 pm

    I quite admire your collection of tools watching your videos it’s quite amazing the amount of things you have accumulated over the years



  6. Will Cordero on January 15, 2022 at 9:06 pm

    "It’s not like Pokémon. You don’t have to catch them all." 🤣🤣🤣



  7. randal flagg on January 15, 2022 at 9:07 pm

    I need all the bronze ones! Need them… like a 6-yr old needs a jetpack.



  8. thefilthelement on January 15, 2022 at 9:08 pm

    What’s your advice for someone with a collection addiction and has multiple of each?



  9. Paul M on January 15, 2022 at 9:10 pm

    Great video, have subscribed. UK carpentry videos, get in.



  10. Brent Langdon on January 15, 2022 at 9:11 pm

    I am getting back into woodworking and enjoying your videos. Do you ever use planes to surface rough lumber? I found that I could use my #7 to flatten one side of a board, but I broke down and got a power planner because it requires lots of effort and skill to thickness plane by hand. Going to watch your "The Chopping Board" videos next.



  11. Marcin Wasniowski on January 15, 2022 at 9:12 pm

    Thank you 🙂 After hours of browsing the stores I figured out 2 things: 1. I have no idea what I need and 2. sadly my pockets are not deep enough to buy all I like ^_^



  12. MrBrewzr on January 15, 2022 at 9:15 pm

    Thank you for not giving the typical youtuber answer of “well it depends” I’m a beginner and I don’t always know what kind of work I’m gonna be doing. I’m trying to figure out what I like to build, and getting a straight forward answer of here these are the two to start with was just what I was looking for.



  13. Ben Lawver on January 15, 2022 at 9:15 pm

    i should have gotten the low angle jack, it is true, it is more versatile, it can smooth and can also be fitted to be a scrub plane.



  14. jack002tuber on January 15, 2022 at 9:18 pm

    I have a sargent 14 and a Stanley no 40 1/2. They don’t follow the numbers



  15. james chang on January 15, 2022 at 9:20 pm

    hows it going what was that noise in the background



  16. David Saracini on January 15, 2022 at 9:20 pm

    Good video. I think I’d add the router.



  17. ThePatrvq on January 15, 2022 at 9:20 pm

    Would it be ok to start with one Veritas Bevel-Up Jointer Plane nr 62 and a Veritas block plane? Or should I invest in something else? plx help.



  18. Dr Fear & Co. on January 15, 2022 at 9:21 pm

    Veritas makes a scraping plane that I really like. It makes scraping easy and you can sharpen it like a normal plane blade. I am not good at using a card scraper and this tool makes scraping so easy.



  19. Myles Thomson on January 15, 2022 at 9:23 pm

    Thank you so much! Been agonising what to buy.



  20. LiarNoseOnFire on January 15, 2022 at 9:25 pm

    What about the Spokeshave Mat ?



  21. Chris Williams on January 15, 2022 at 9:28 pm

    Perfect – just what I needed. Thank you so much for making this vid! I’m off to shave some wood! 🙂



  22. Glenn Philipson on January 15, 2022 at 9:30 pm

    Hi matt I was pretty rude to you in a previous video. I was out of order and apologise. For your age your an impressive young man.
    Stay safe



  23. Seamus Warren on January 15, 2022 at 9:33 pm

    Which is best for making a door frame wider?



  24. Nick on January 15, 2022 at 9:35 pm

    Nice video lad



  25. Matt Estlea on January 15, 2022 at 9:35 pm

    Like the workbench? Watch me make it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXKYwM0f5WU&t



  26. Callum Mcdonald on January 15, 2022 at 9:36 pm

    At 8:30 the cabinet scraper, is that also known as a spokeshave?



  27. jkg2754 on January 15, 2022 at 9:37 pm

    Good job Matt !



  28. Eddy Flo on January 15, 2022 at 9:37 pm

    For referencing Pokémon, you get a like!



  29. Classy Days on January 15, 2022 at 9:37 pm

    Man, if only I knew about those low angle planes when I bought my N°4. I’ve been using the 4 for basically everything, but it’s horrible on end grain. I might get one of those block planes if it makes finishing end grain easier.



  30. John D Coffee on January 15, 2022 at 9:37 pm

    Cheers Matt. Off to buy my first plane so.



  31. scott conner on January 15, 2022 at 9:37 pm

    Great video. Loved this!



  32. Cesar Flores on January 15, 2022 at 9:39 pm

    Love your videos, thanks for all your suggestions.



  33. Alex James on January 15, 2022 at 9:39 pm

    The world seems split between the #4 and the low angle #5 as the goto starter plane. I prefer the #4. I’ve got a few block planes but really only use them for carpentry and fitting.
    My question is, What about the bullnose?. Fantastic for rebates and drawer fitting.



  34. Mark Wiley on January 15, 2022 at 9:40 pm

    Very good overview and recommendations.



  35. j j on January 15, 2022 at 9:41 pm

    Low angle jack no 5, is that the no 62?



  36. Владимир Давыдов on January 15, 2022 at 9:42 pm

    Thanks You.



  37. Andy B on January 15, 2022 at 9:44 pm

    Matt, I should post this on each of your videos, but it would be weird, wouldn’t it!
    Yours are the best videos in this field! Great contents, great editing, always intetesting, never boring.
    Brilliant!
    Many many thanks, mate!



  38. Peter Bryant on January 15, 2022 at 9:45 pm

    Depends where you want to go.



  39. Robert Schwinger on January 15, 2022 at 9:46 pm

    What is the purpose of an adjustable mouth on a plane?



  40. Curtis Baller on January 15, 2022 at 9:46 pm

    I know these vids are old, but damn that intro music is wayyyy too loud



  41. Flush Fabrication on January 15, 2022 at 9:47 pm

    Bro! This had all the info I needed! I’m a jeweler building a jewelry bench. Like jewelry it sounds like quality tools is always the way to go. I needed to know what I needed and why, with out it being overly confusing. Thank you!



  42. Newton Owaga on January 15, 2022 at 9:48 pm

    Good job bro! On a confidence scale, I give you 9.999 out of 10…



  43. Alex Surh on January 15, 2022 at 9:50 pm

    You are the chef Ramsay of woodworking



  44. Robert Sparky Weintraut on January 15, 2022 at 9:50 pm

    Another benefit to a scraper plane:
    I’m a luthier primarily. If you need to thickness figured stock, the scraper blade is fantastic. I also use a no. 62 with an iron regroups to make it a high angle plane for this job.



  45. Sergey Didanov on January 15, 2022 at 9:50 pm

    What about rabbet block plane instead of simple block plane?



  46. WungusBill on January 15, 2022 at 9:56 pm

    NEED, can’t work without? None of them, you can plane with a piece of sandpaper stuck to a flat, straight board. What SHOULD you get as a new woodworker? A good quality no.4, then buy more as need dictates and/or you find them at the flea market. Any task that you’re gonna be doing as you’re just starting to dip your toes can be done at least adequately by a no.4, it is a great jack of all trades.



  47. Christopher Moore on January 15, 2022 at 9:57 pm

    I agreed with your assessment on the bench planes with the exception of the #7, I didn’t hear you mention the #6 which is actually my choice as the step between the 5 1/2 an 8. Lots of information in short time. bravo.



  48. Jojok Satoto on January 15, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    why not just discuss wood shavings made of wood, that’s what is commonly used….



  49. kino sketa on January 15, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    Hello,
    i miss anything about bowmaker planes all over the internet…



  50. joseph ullman on January 15, 2022 at 10:00 pm

    Beginning wood worker. Went to a high end woodworking store to get plane advice. They had non idea how to guide me. This was indispensable.
