Installing wiring for the electrics and insulation for sound and thermal regulation is the topic of this video. For me, this is where sh*t starts getting real and I begin encroaching into mediums in which I have zero experience whatsoever. Let's see how it goes...

🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 26 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, 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.

Lets go make a mess.
