    I once went to an estate sale of a man who had built an entire basement full of woodworking tools and machinery out of wood. Every tool, every machine, all self designed and hand made. The sheer genius and craftsmanship was staggering. I remember thinking that old world craftsmanship like that was gone. I'm glad men like you still exist to carry on traditions and spread knowledge. Thanks for sharing.

    This is the sort of thing that should be shown on television instead of all that 'reality' crap.

    • @matthiaswandel

      HILUX CHAINSAW TV is for reality crap. If you want good stuff to watch, you gotta go to youtube.

      @1873Winchester 9 лет назад

      thomas price I'd be way harder for me to watch this stuff if it was on PBS or CBC or whatever channels you got there over in america. RUclips is global and I think matthias appreciates that more than appealing to a strictly US audience. Though sure there's always HBO which we get over here, but then you'd have to add a lot of nudity and violence to make it fit in with their other shows.

    UHMW would be much better than wood for the gears. Just that wood is cheaper and easier to get, and works adequately.

  • @matthiaswandel
    @matthiaswandel  12 лет назад +2

    Hose clamps are indeed cheap, but they work really well, worked fine for my slot mortiser and my other rotuer lift. The solution you propose would interfere with being able to tilt the router. There really is no extra room around the router body.

    Matthias I never cease to be amazed at the ingenuity you put into your projects. In the near future I am going to buy the plans for this little jewel which seems to meet or exceed the capabilities of any commercially available product I have seen of it's type. I have to ask just what it is you do for a living. Are you a draftsman or an engineer or are these talents that you have come by naturally? Not only can you do these things but you also have a gift for relating the how to in an understandable manner and for that I am very grateful. Thank you for all the inspiration and motivation you provide and may God bless you and your family.

      Jeff jones, while there are those lucky few born with that gift, there are many who can learn if they have the right attitude to learn. I assure you that you have the first requirement to learn what you want to learn and that is when you said, " I wish I was that good at anything." Wishing is to be followed by copying others and then working harder to try even better than copying. It is a slow movement with small steps and I assure you that you can reach what you want , only if you really want to. You can reach many levels of competence if you try and I believe it was Albert Einstein who once said, " People are only aware and confident of only 10 % of their total capacity. So, Sir, you have 90% to fill up. Wish you will try.

    Brilliant ideas and and excellent presentation of the logic used to achieve a function. I spent most of my life in engineering and education and I found that there is a mind processing ability that many do not have. Only yesterday some one told me that these days there is no need to know but only where to look just in case you need to know. That is not true as the human mind is not a fetch cycle form an already written down memory system in a book or in an electronic computer. Matthias Wandel leaves the thinking and processing activity in his audience and anyone who does not want to think nor process a situation to reach the logic required to achieve a function might as well go and buy a plastic version, it will probably be cheaper but the human mind will be as dormant as a door nail. Many people are happy to be proud owners of what they buy with a dormant mind state, but there are those who relish the mind activity, as it is a good asset to have. Congratulations to Matthias Wandel for being a brilliant gentleman who respects his audience with leaving them with the thinking and the mind processing sessions in all he does, Thank you Sir. In my opinion you rate as being in the top 1% of students in higher education and even better than that as you combine , research, mathematics, computation, design, synthesis, making testing, modification and the highest quality I respect, which is GUARANTEEING YOUR WORK TO OPERATE efficiently. Not many people and professions want to walk the paths of guaranteeing their products nor their services, but Matthias Wandel does fine in that area.

    @SpinStar1956 9 лет назад +3

    Hey, really enjoy your videos and you're quite the ingenious designer and fabricator!
    I thought I might tell you about what I do for threading steel bolts in wood: First, I of course drill them so the will be tight; then run the bolt in and out a few times to make the threads; finally I coat the freshly cut wooden threads with watery "thin" CA-glue. This REALLY hardens them, making them very strong and even tighter. And in cases where you repeatedly insert/remove the bolt, you can re-treat with the CA and they tighten right back up. I used this for my RC airplane access hatches and electronic project enclosure-panels made from wood that had to be repeatedly removed and replaced. Most times I never had to re-apply the CA-glue.
    Additionally, for homemade wooden-knobs, I do the same thing for the hex-head and the very outside to solidify, seal and harden the end-grain fibers for the cut finger-placement surfaces. For larger (non-fastener) surfaces, take 2-part epoxy, mix then thin with 95% alcohol; just paint on a thin-coat the cures rock-hard. This is even solvent and fuel-proof (another old RC trick!).
    Thanks a lot for your videos and inspiration, and keep up the great and excellent work!

    Dear Matthias,
    I recently found out about your channel. What an awesome job you are doing here! Not only the making of all the wonderful machines, but also the way you film it. (even the sound is great, like the little click and clacks when bolt hit a table or the like) Everything monitored to the minutes detail. It gives me much joy watching your movies and also relaxes me much when stressed. You are a great craftsman and show us values which surpass the work itself! Thank you very much! Jan

  • @MrMeasureTwice
    @MrMeasureTwice 12 лет назад

    As always, an excellent video, simple, straightforward. So many people will pay the $400+ costs for *just* a router LIFT. You've taken the whole idea to a new level all for the cost of some T-nuts, screws and bolts and other associated hardware + the wood (minor expense) and the labor of putting it all together. AND - the biggest benefit of all? BRAGGING RIGHTS! Yep, anyone who builds these things can certainly brag that they built it and saved HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.

    This is were i come when i wanna learn how i should have done it. The mistakes are worth it in experience and then my final questions and details are more than likely derived from your version of...tilting router table, sleds and jigs, fences. Toss in some Izzy Swan left field creative and you have the two best i know of on you tube wood channels in entirely different ways.
    I was/am a well rounded jedi in metal, but i cant turn off the wood bug thanks to this guy and Mr. Swan,. Its been router bits and maple or birch instead of plasma electrodes and .250 wall tubing or dimple dies. I suck, but i can look up again and have internet mentors. I throw tools again and cuss in the garage. Life is good, until i step in the big can of polyurethane wearing flipflops.
