Description: A while ago, a group of my viewers decided to host a design competition, in which the winner would have their design built by me. The catch being, I was not allowed a place a vote. Instead, my fate was placed in the hands of the judges.

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. In addition to all that studying and teaching during the week, I occupied my weekends working at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke. For 5 years, 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 job role in 2019 to focus on teaching at Rycotewood and my own business. 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! 🎓VISIT THE FREE SCHOOL HERE mattestlea.com/school 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. ____________________________________________ GET IN TOUCH: While I take time to read every single message I receive whether its emailed, DMed or asked publicly on social media, sadly I do not have time to reply to everything.
