Just finished up this series, and the walnut desk, great work, beautiful. Where I am, for the most part, wood is cheap enough that veneering isn't worth it except for in larger production shops. I'm thankful for that too, it seems very time consuming. The shots at the end with the drawers out are just stunning.
Well done. The wood is beautiful and what you’ve done pays homage to Krenov. I would have liked to see knife hinges instead of seeing the barrel hinges breaking up the lines. Love the curvy drawers with no knobs
Beautiful work again Matt, love your videos. Inspired me to complete my 2" (48mm) thick English Yew, Natural edge, gold glitter, (My Wife's contribution to the design), epoxy filled side table, just before the New Year. Sadly I work abroad in Aviation so can't spend anything like as much time as I'd like at home and in my shop. But my table (more by pure luck than skill), turned out great. Great tutorials on sharpening helped me restore my sadly departed father in law's No, 4 Footprint plane for "near as damn it", tear-out free planning of the Character Yew board after jointing the top and shelf boards, for which I offer my sincere thanks. I'm guessing ONE of your course mates is jealous of your work though? ;-)
Just found your channel Matt. Lovely 6 videos on the Krenov cabinet, thanks for making them. Cracking piece of work, inspiring stuff! Well done mate. Followed on Instagram!
So nice, thanks! Are you using mdf and veneer because it's more stable, or because it's cheaper? Would it be possible to build it in solid wood, or would it move too much? Cheers
You’re incredibly talented. What is this place that you built this piece at? Is it a school? Is it a public place where people pay to use the machines? There’s nothing like that where I live. Keep up the good work
Thank you John! I have an awkward corner in my bedroom where it may fit. The trouble is, furniture looks tiny in a large workshop, but when you bring it into a house it looks massive!
You could just have made some small handles for the drawers etc. All else is mastership with machines, wood and handtools. It is true; when we are young we don't always know when to stop while making something. And then sometimes it gets to much. Ach u know. It's oké.
Did you enjoy this project? Don't forget to *LIKE* the video and feel free to view the rest of my portfolio here: www.mattestlea.com/portfolio

Amazing work! First place in school!

Superb work Matt - an heirloom piece!

Stupendous!!! a real pleasure to watch - Thank You for posting
Beautiful work!
Holy crap is all I can think of ... such level of craftsmanship! #inspiring
Thank you so much mate! One of my favourite projects.
Love it Matt!
Cheers Rob!
Krenov and Einaudi... doesnt get much better then that. Nice work!!
man this is very high level! beautiful job!
Wow. So nice!
you are an artist
again another great piece.
Cheers Archie!
This cabinet is one of the best one i've ever seen but all these holes for the shelves are not too cool, anyway i really love this piece of furniture!
Giacomo Battisti I saw the adjustable shelf pin holes and went “nooooooooo”! Beautiful cabinet regardless!👍🏽

Awesome, thank you so much Rob!
Super awesome! I'm more of a hand tool guy, but great and inspirational work can also come from power tools :)
Cheers mate! It was a relief to be able to do hand cut dovetails on this one, the machining was getting a bit tiring.
Beautiful work Matt, inspiring stuff mate 👍👍👍
Cheers Simon, it was a really enjoyable project!
It turned out fantastic. You really saved up on those beauty shots. =)
Haha thank you Anders!
Bravo!
Good God ! Jujitsu woodworking Black Belt. If the SAS needs a Special Operations Woodworker, Matt get your Kit.
Einaudi is a genius!

Have you ever made anything that wasn't epic?
Ah come on Matt, you know I'm treading in your territory when mixing Walnut with mental door panels. Cheers!
Beautiful Matt. How many hours did it take you to build this project?
Does anyone know what program he was using to draw the design, at 0:30 - 0:33 ?
Don't know if you're still waiting on an answer, but it looks kinda like Inventor. With the orientation cube on the top right. Not really sure though.
Nice trailer, now where's the video?
Ya that is super sexy!!! Love it. Really appreciate your design aesthetic. What are your plans for it?

Krenov inspired but not in the way is made. Techniques that can only be taught by those that have done very specific training.
