My favorite part of this video is at 5:30 when you notice the tone the board makes when you hammer it, and pause to give it a couple extra whacks for good measure. It's so great to find those little happy accidents and just enjoy it for a second.
+April Wilkerson I subscribe to both your channels, and I love seeing my favorite 'Tubers learning tricks like that from each other. It's really neat to watch the styles evolve over time.

+April Wilkerson well I thing you are amazing at joinery I am a student and use your ideas and I always get positive feedback most of the girls are better at joinery than boys
Wow! Those joints are so strong!! Last year I attempted a kitchen cart with butt joints and it was too weak. I think a box joint jig should appear in my shop shortly! Thanks for the inspiration Matthias!
Ahh strive for perfection and get average i get it .Looking forward to my Average being as good as your "imperfection ". OPN a side note how cold is there 33 c here (98f) and raining no breeze .What i would do for some snow right now :D
Watching you use the box joint jig, slot mortise machine or pantorouter always makes me smile. Even after you explained that you made a mistake and had to fix it, everything fell right into place. It must be witchcraft! That, or a load of brilliance and an engineering degree. Either way... Bravo!
I don't know what ir is about your vids that you make me wanna do woodwork. i recently bought some good hardwood for a dinner table build but can't bring myself around to doing it. Until now, thanks Matthias.
man i just love how you look to the camara after you're done talking, its like you're saying: Am i doing it right mom? Makes me smile every time. very sturdy construction, and thanks for the examples of techniques.
I just love the way you over engineer the living hell out of even the simplest things like this. Not even like it’s a bad thing. If there is ever an earthquake, tornado, nuclear disaster, then you can always use a piece of your furniture as a temporary bunker. Keep at it my friend.
I really enjoy these videos. The way you pragmatically approach each step of the project is impressive! I get the feeling that you've made a million different things and learned the do's and do not's all along the way. great stuff!
What most viewers don't know is that this guy is so good, that the "Sped up" video is actually regular speed, and what looks normal is being slowed down
when I see you making those joints I kinda feel like immediately going out to build those jigs too! you make it look so easy! thanks for sharing all of that!
I feel like if Matthias had an IQ test he'd score really high, it's obviously a lot from experience but he just has a unique way of thinking logically and sorting things out in his mind in the simplest fashion, I appreciate these videos. Matthias is a master at his work and is always learning, I can't believe he hasn't worked in trade/contracting when he's so efficient. :)
Design not so sophisticated, result very sophisticated!!! Four 2X4 's at once, very impressive. Brute force persuasion. Nice video, showing your self invented / made jig-tools excellent. I enjoyed it very much, thanks!
Great video! When you were first cutting the box joints, I thought "Impressive! How does he keep track of which side is recessed?". After your mix up, "Ah, exactly the way I do!". I love that you show your mistakes, since we all make them. You are much more talented at woodworking than I am, but you are relatable anyways.
so much easier watching someone else do this....... (and I don't need to shower either). You are a brilliant craftsman. I enjoy every one of your videos
Great videos! Love the information you persist when building such projects. It makes the building process, and your ideals a lot more informative for me, and others to learn from. Thank you. Hopefully in the near future I can get some wood turning equipment, and other such machines to start doing these types of things. Mainly want a lathe, planer, and jointer to start wood turning. Keep up the great work! Justin. From Hamilton, Ontario.
+Thomas Huber i live in a 18 square meters apartment. i do my woodworking in my bathroom. easy to clean with the tiles. i can bearly fit a black and decker workmate in there, but it works just fine!
+Thomas Huber Look for a local makerspace / hackerspace. They typically have at least some woodworking tools. The makerspace I'm a part of now, Quelab, has quite a few.
This was great. I like your invention/theory/science videos, but i like to see you actually using those tools/methods in real designs. More of this please.
Great video! It's super when you go into details with how and why. Another advantage to floating tenons can be scarcity of stock. If the stickers on the screw-advance box joint-jig is cumbersome, you could paint it with a chalkboard paint and use chalk to set marks.
Hey Matthias, I truly enjoy watching your videos even though I am not a woodworker myself ^^ I just love to see how much effort you take into your projects!
Amazing work piece. You remind me of a mad scientist creating all those devices to do what a screw can achieve. But in the end, it's functional, strong and beautiful. Watching the video, I kept shaking my head...(what????????) Good job !!!
Your are amazing carpenter the things you build are amazing. All your jigs u make are for sure the coolest. I bin working with wood and I build I'll kinds of stuff. But you are on a different level then me. Like to say great job. All watch all your videos. I can learn alot from you.
Matthias, in keeping with your tradition, you did the "jump test" twice on your new workbench and it came out with flying colors! If only you are four times your current weight, I would call that the ultimate test.
Have you ever considered building and entering a soap box car? With proper glued joints, and the right wood in the right places, I imagine they could take a real pounding.
Hey Matthias , the wheels on that cart will wear out to square before it starts to get a little loose. Those loose tenons are a great idea for a lot of projects . You make your own to the size you need. The can allow for a little "forgivness" to bring a project into square. I really like your " finness" hammer. That cart is great as is the detail in the video.
I am really glad you show your mistakes and how you fix the problem, because i am sometimes intimidated by that big juicy Vulcan brain of yours. Great job, live long and prosper.
Another advantage of floating tenonts (spelling?) is that you get more usable length from the pieces of maple wood, since you are not grinding 2-3 inches of it away to form the tenont (again - spelling?). So using this technique you get a slightly wider frame for your workbench. Oh, and thanks for all the videos. Watching you work with wood is strangely soothing. Keep up the good work.
I can't get over how nice your lumber looks. What we get here in California at the usual big box stores is full of knots and often propellor shaped. :(
I've seen every video you've ever made and read nearly all your blog entries, Matthias. You're quite an inspiration to me. I get very happy whenever one of your videos pops up in my subscriptions. Have you thought about starting a Patreon? I would gladly donate to you each month/video. :)
+esotericsean Thought about it, and figured I'd best leave patreon to the people who really need it. But if you want to support me, you can always buy some plans from my website. woodgears.ca/plans.html
I too have a wood work table (4'x8'). For welding I add a sheet of 1/2"sheetrock on top has worked good so far, and when it gets trashed I can just replace it.
Matthias - I think I may have mentioned this before for this vid, but the mind fails. So here goes. Add a metal top to the table so all the welding splatters don't ruin your nice table top. Best, but expensive is 1/4" steel sheet. My cheap trick is using a sheet of HVAC duct work tin from the big box DIY store. It doesn't rust and conducts. Great for bird feeder covers too.
Совершенно ничего не понимаю что вы говорите в видео, по большей части догадываюсь ) но черт побери мне нравятся ваши видео, я сам люблю столярное мастерство но к сожалению не имею возможности этим заниматься, приходиться отводить душу смотря разные ролики, в том числе и ваши ) привет из России/Сибири =)

I like how you explain your thought process and pros/cons of certain techniques.
Thanks for the great video Matthias, looking forward to the next one!
5:59: Great job on explaining that with the knife and PIP. Makes perfect sense with the visuals, and I'll remember that tip.

+April Wilkerson well I thing you are amazing at joinery I am a student and use your ideas and I always get positive feedback most of the girls are better at joinery than boys
that's what I like about your videos ....you don't hide your mistakes and you show us the solutions.
+Mess Krio I don't hide *all* the mistakes. There's plenty of other mistakes that just aren't interesting.
I’m a custom Framer, so I can appreciate your skill level and ingenuity.....nice job
Being a retired engineer myself I love your explanations and ideas.
After all these years I'm still impressed how many/different clamps there are in your collection.
Wow! Those joints are so strong!! Last year I attempted a kitchen cart with butt joints and it was too weak. I think a box joint jig should appear in my shop shortly! Thanks for the inspiration Matthias!
As a new woodworker ,it always surprises me when you say ,well that went together better than expected .. When every thing seems so precise .
+viol8r007 The key being the word *seems*
Ahh strive for perfection and get average i get it .Looking forward to my Average being as good as your "imperfection ".
OPN a side note how cold is there 33 c here (98f) and raining no breeze .What i would do for some snow right now :D
The joinery I find so intricate and so satisfying as well as strong. Great video mate
OMG... I would have just cut them up on a miter saw, and put dozens of screws and call it done....
What a workmanship.
exactly. my thought was: Nice joinery...but for a workbench? pocket screw it and be done.
If it snows more you will need a workbench on skis
You made me laugh.
Watching your amazingly efficient rigs go to work blazing through joints is marvellously therapeutic :D
Open mouthed admiration for the bench. I have made a bench from Dexion that just bolts together but yours is a thing of beauty.
Watching you use the box joint jig, slot mortise machine or pantorouter always makes me smile. Even after you explained that you made a mistake and had to fix it, everything fell right into place. It must be witchcraft!
That, or a load of brilliance and an engineering degree.

I love the sound of dry-fitting box joints.

My goodness Matthias, that looks strong enough to park a car on. Love the view from your workshop as well.
Those sped-up hammer shots are so satisfying!
I love to watch how this man works and his finished work.
OMG, you are a BEAST!!! I lose chunks of time just watching your amazing creations
Thank you.
I always like the regularity and patterns in your projects. It's really pleasant to watch such good organization of work.
I like your point about using a thick floating tenon on thin stock. Thanks for sharing!
Rehab addict on tv and your program on my iPad at the same time . Wood workers heaven .
That does look sturdy!
Love seeing your box-joint jig in action. One of these days I'm going to buy a set of your plans and build it.
Impressive bench! Very strong and well built
What most viewers don't know is that this guy is so good, that the "Sped up" video is actually regular speed, and what looks normal is being slowed down
Dude, you are the McGyver of the wood working world. I love your jigs.
when I see you making those joints I kinda feel like immediately going out to build those jigs too! you make it look so easy!
thanks for sharing all of that!
Another awesome build! Your spruce sounds pretty musical! :)

+Thomas Huber Yes, I was like you.
+werechai1 I like DIY. ผมพูด ไทย นะครับ

Nice work! At 5:31 I can almost see the wheels turning... "Hmmm I wonder if I can make a musical instrument this way?" :)
Good ASMR.
Most entertaining videos on You Tube. Thanks for making them. Love to watch you using all of your amazing jigs.
I love that box joint jig. joints look great every time you use it.
That slot mortiser is so cool. But I'm impressed it seems so quiet! Usually routers are loud as heck
This was great. I like your invention/theory/science videos, but i like to see you actually using those tools/methods in real designs. More of this please.
Love this box joint jig. I'm going to seek out the video for how you made that. Thanks for these great videos!
Great video! It's super when you go into details with how and why. Another advantage to floating tenons can be scarcity of stock. If the stickers on the screw-advance box joint-jig is cumbersome, you could paint it with a chalkboard paint and use chalk to set marks.
What a pleasure is looking at your genius working..!! Kudos man...
I've said it before, you are a genius. Your videos are great, too.
Matthias, great looking table sir. Love the joinery!
awesome I think your genius with all the self made tools and jigs those are awesome to watch
Incredible workmanship I'm speechless you inspire me truley
the table looks pretty skookum, nice work as always.
Again as always a great video. Nice work and also love that you put in and explained when you had a problem and how it was solved.
That fast forwarded hammer sound is oddly satisfying.
Excellent work as always. Its fun to watch all these different projects you make.
Great videos Matthias, You are so talented and make these projects seem so easy. Keep the videos coming..
Felix
Hey Matthias,
I truly enjoy watching your videos even though I am not a woodworker myself ^^ I just love to see how much effort you take into your projects!
You are so cool Mathias... you're my hero!
not sure why this channel was recommended to me, but I am enjoying my stay
Amazing work piece. You remind me of a mad scientist creating all those devices to do what a screw can achieve. But in the end, it's functional, strong and beautiful. Watching the video, I kept shaking my head...(what????????) Good job !!!
Such a child at heart and I really respect that haha. Nice work

This is so inspiring, I love how you just think of things and build it!
Matthias, in keeping with your tradition, you did the "jump test" twice on your new workbench and it came out with flying colors!
If only you are four times your current weight, I would call that the ultimate test.
Nice work. I was wondering why you were putting floating tenons in off center but then I saw how the corners assembled and it makes a ton of sense.
you are the most awesome craftsman, love your videos
Wood glue looks delicous. Like its custard or pudding. mmm
+Javier Virgen, you're hungry! Go home! :D
+Javier Virgen How high are you, brother?
+Javier Virgen Wouldn't put it past Matthias to make his own wood glue recipe.
Nice vid man
+Jake Mernick no
+Matthias Wandel hah! But seriously, I like how you take time with the detail in your builds
+Matthias Wandel oops, sorry, trying to feed baby while going thru comments. That reply was for different youtube comment.
+Matthias Wandel oh haha, it's fine man, no worries
+Matthias Wandel King of Joint´s has spoken
Nice to see that you have different slippers for the workshop
For such precise joinery, do you use your 2x4's straight from the store or do you plane them first?
I usually plane a millimeter off each side
nice to know. thanks!
That looks crazy solid. Great video as usual
"Persuader"! 😂that's exactly what I call my 18" framing hammer! That was fun to see be built, incredibly sturdy and I love it.
You are amazing man! love to watch your creative videos! keep them coming!
Have you ever considered building and entering a soap box car? With proper glued joints, and the right wood in the right places, I imagine they could take a real pounding.

Thank you for showing us this wonderful work.
now you can't get quality entertainment like this anywhere else.
i donno if i've ever seen you work with metal. i'd enjoy seeing that sort of work from you.
Very nice, that looks solid. Thanks for tip on the floating tenons, never tought of that.
Matthias used new wood on a project!? Must be getting that RUclips money ;-) Nice job. Can't wait to see part 2.
You should make a giant mallet and call it a "maullet" :) Looking forward to the drawer part of this project! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful worksmanship
I love the heavy duty build. NICE NICE NICE!!

Весьма интересно. Смотрю с пару месяцев, и кое чему подучился. Спасибо!
Man. That bench will be around a lot longer than any of us or anyone we know.
Somehow I get the idea that you will build a xylophone in the near future.
Nice job, very very strong frame. Thanks
