Making a JOINT PRACTICE frame - Part 1
We've been practising hand cutting joints the past few weeks, now it's time to put all that knowledge and apply it to basic frame construction!
In this video I'll be showing you how to accurately mark out the lap joint, dovetail halving joint, bridle joint, and through mortice and tenon joint.
Frame plans have been kindly donated by Warwickshire College Furniture School. View their courses here: https://goo.gl/DiXmtn
Plans are downloadable from here! https://www.mattestlea.com/shop

🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea and I’m a Woodworker from Basingstoke, England. My aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years of TRAINING at Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, 5 years of experience WORKING at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke, and 3 years TEACHING both day classes and evening classes at Rycotewood Furniture Centre. All while trying to get this YouTube thing off the ground.
By September 2021, I packed it all in to focus on YouTube and my business full-time.
Want to know more about how I crammed all this experience into such a short period of time? See my experience and qualifications here:
