I have to agree with Marius regarding the possibility of using magnets on his sliding door. His solution met the criteria of his priorities beautifully. In my grade book, that's an A++.
I think you should definitely use magnets for the door. A whole bunch of extra-strength niobium magnets alternating with steel plates on both the end of the door and the door jamb. That way when you walk through the door with a screwdriver in one pocket and some screws in the other pocket you can stick to both the door and the jamb and have to pry yourself off both sides. You should probably also keep a pry bar near the door to get it open after it closes. On second thought, a simple mechanical latch might be the better choice.
Hmmm ... looks like there must be a reason why this technique is used f.e. with kitchen cabinets and not a single one magnet closed(endstop holding) door is seen in the wild. This must be an idea of one of those home-automation "enthusiasts" (meaning: wet dream). You know what I mean? Self taught (which is nothing wrong, the contrary is the case) experts where the installation and knowledge grew over time, meaning: No standards, no rules and the total lack of any consistent design. In other words: Total chaos:) It is big fun, while giving a party, the cloud provider decides that he goes out of business ... including the lighting, heaters/air conditioning, entertainment system and so on, hehehe. It is the same reason why people with a brain actually use switches to access lighting (at least have that option and the "old way of doing it" as the priority and as a fallback!!!) and no fancy A.I. or over the air controlled switching (who the actual eff needs light if he isn't PRESENT AT THAT PLACE?! Yeah, there are 100 reasons to have something like that, but all can be done less failure prone or are really dumb ideas in the matter of: Hey! I have a solution. Now we need a matching problem ....). This magnet door endstop idea is something of that kind. Something over-engineered, not well thought through, with the introduction of additional failure points and ... an absolute botch, born out of a feeling. I wish you all a wonderful experience with your old and boring door mechanism! Hehe:)
I understand it would be a lot of work to video and edit all the possible ideas you mentioned but I’d watch every one. Thank you for uploading great content. I always learn something!
@@MariusHornberger The videos do not have to be full featured or super in depth, they can also be shorter update videos on the various smaller projects :)
agreed it was brilliant . one of the main reasons for watching videos like this is to see new creative ideas . if everyone did the same thing , it would be boring .
Hey their Marius, I’m so glad that your going to continue making projects and videos. As far as I’m concerned any video you make is worth watching in my opinion. I like your point of view and the way you approach your projects. Please keep up the great job.
Love the shop door handle! Ain't broke, don't fix it. Great design, Works great too. Magnets are too fussy in this case. My vote is for more wood projects, be they tools or furniture, etc. But, I like your variety of topics. Best luck for all the moves, etc.
about the magnets, we used the have a harmonica door in our old house that closed with magnets (since it was harmonica it didn't really have the bounce back problem), but every time we had the window open and it was slightly windy, the door would just pop open by itself, and after a few years the magnets also lost their strength and the door would hardly stay closed anymore at all.
Having a low work surface like you're proposing for the CNC comes down to how good your back is. When it's low like that you're going to bend over without thinking about it. If your back isn't good that's going to cost you in some pain. If you're back is great, well, no worries (probably). PS. have always loved your videos. Love seeing someone come up with so many of the same ideas and methods as me (see! My crazy isn't unique!). Please never stop.
Great video. Like the idea of magnets. You should do it, but make it even more complicated than the simple latch. You could have a damper to stop bounce back, and have the magnets on the door side be on a sliding piece connected to the release lever. So the magnets are released by sliding action allowing the door to open. Balance will then be restored with lots of suggestions to keep the simple latch. 🤣
I enjoyed the door handle video a lot, showing your design process and problem solving skills are very helpful. You are a maker, showing us how you make things is why I'm a subscriber. Keep up the great content.
Before getting lost in the negative comments, please look again at how many people click like. We generally don't write comments, but we love your content.
Always enjoy your furniture or cabinetry projects listening to your thought process is very enjoyable for me keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to your next video
I really appreciate your projects that you share. I'm in the process of starting a wood shop, equipment is ordered. I really admire your ingenious and creative ideas. Thank you.
I made my CNC the same height as my table saw but I wish I would have made it higher. I didn’t realize how much I would be bending over to change bits or clamp and unclamp parts. I enjoy all of your projects.
Marius, I’m shedding tears for your old first tool build dismantling! Oh well. I think you should build what you need most for the move. About the CNC, if it’s too low you know your going to stack stuff on it as a shelf. When you get around building a base for it, Perhaps build it as high as it will fit under but with all the future improvements you want to make. Hope the move goes well for you, your family and your sisters new place.
Tool changer will be interesting. You can see the evolution of you skill and capabilities when you compare the drum sander to your later projects. I’m with you, I don’t think magnets would work at all.
very keen on your shop vac video ideas....just emptied my shop vac today....some inspiration wouldn't be a bad thing :D. Agree about the magnets being a less than perfect solution for the door. Good luck with all the moving.
The planer/thicknesser update! I have the same machine without the fancy cutter head. I Actually bought it after seeing your video about it. Still a nice piece of kit.
Great update! Please do the automatic tool changer; I think there are a bunch of us with these types of CNC routers that would like to use them more effectively.
Your hand-built scissor lift table inspired me, not to attempt to build it, but to buy a 48 inch hydraulic commercial cart. This is a game changer -- useful in so many ways. 60" or more would have been even better, and I'm even considering the 10-20' varieties for rooftop work, either hand-pushed or electric. As I age, my wife's prohibitions against climbing are becoming harder to resist.
I would definitely watch all the video ideas you mentioned, especially one about the drill press. For whatever reason I just like drill presses, don't judge me.
Although you criticize your homemade machine - it served an excellent purpose - it taught you so much! Yes, in retrospect your build may have shortcomings, but to get to the point where you could recognize those things and know how to improve them you had to first understand simply building a machine - which is a big task on its own. And instead of holding on to this now unused machine for nostalgia - the value it had as a record of your work and previous thinking is actually not lost when you disassembled it because you have nicely documented the machine with this video. I think this is the best possible result. Well done!
As someone who has actually used magnets to keep a door closed. you absolutely need both a lot of them, and you need the alignment to be correct as you say! Mine is just to latch a door once its close to closed. if i shut the door with force it still bounces back as you showed!
Hey man, I'm not really a great fan; but I do recall watching the initial videos on your drum sander. Then and now I probably don't know my own leg from a drumstick; but I wanted to tell you that I loved your honest breakdown of your past work. You framed it wonderfully, and your mindset was really positive in the editing. Good work, and I'd love to see more. "The only person we should feel superior to, is past selves."
I would feel emotional unbuilding one of my home made machines. I'm sure you have a mixture of nostalgia and proudness of your younger self when you look at this clever machine, even with some little rooky mistakes. Great video as always. Cheers from France.
It's good to see you back, and easy to imagine why you might not have time to make videos so often. What I want to see is the next thing you find compelling to do. It was instructive, but not surprising, to see how far you have come in the ability to design quality machines: your earliest ones worked, but your current efforts are much better. Keep your CNC well above flood level.
You are right about the magnets for the door. Glass shower doors use a strip magnet to hold them closed and keep them water tight, you have to close the door and hold it to stop the bounce back. They also are mounted on plastic tubes to allow for any slight misalignment and that is on a glass edge that is perfectly strait. sometimes we make stuff for the pleasure of making it not for its practicality or to please the comments
Would be most interested in the new furniture you will be building, but I also like old tool restorations. I'm sure I will enjoy whatever you decide to film. ☺
My rule is that I don't argue if I have doubts about what I'm saying and over the years and the more I learn more doubts I have. Another thing I've learnt from History books is that you don't argue with a German if you don't have a thousand ways to prove he's wrong.
Love the playful editing in this video. (Made me smile.) The audacity of "people from the Internet" telling you to, "just use magnets". You are correct about the magnets. They are probably thinking of electromagnet doors, (which obviously isn't the right engineering choice in this case.) Your design is elegant and perfect.
My vote for the future project would be the upgraded dust collection system. Thanks for all the work you put into making these videos - they are entertaining and informative. I love seeing your thought processes and problem solving, all delivered with a dose of self deprecating humour. Your channel ranks as one of the best on RUclips!
I have seen some refrigerators, and many freezers, that have a flexible magnetic strip within the door gasket. That might have worked? Providing some shock absorption for the door closing, and a seal against noise?
You _could_ use magnets, spread across the entire height of the door, together with a mechanism that should slide one side up or down, when opening, to break the magnetic coupling - that would also quiet the ones complaining about overengineering. For me, the most interesting projects will definitely be the furniture projects. You could, in fact, use some over-engineering for the tool changer, to not take up space on the CNC's working area permanently. I'm thinking a mechanism driven by a separate controller which brings a disc holding multiple tools into the table area, then slides it out, and where one particular tool slot can be dialed from the controller.
Definitely interested in all your upcoming projects (as always) but more so for the updated dust collection as I’m looking to do something similar soon.
Hallo, Marius! I always enjoy your engineering projects, but would also love to see you do more furniture as well. Please consider recording them. Greetings from Bulgaria :)
Definitely the automatic tool changer. Not that I'm *ever* going to do something like it myself, but I love living vicariously through you and seeing things that work wonders come together 🙂 Also about that - I don't know what you have in mind for being able to sense the tool or not, but speaking from experience working on (software) projects with similar constraints - "no visibility" problems are REALLY shitty to work around. I want to encourage you to simply upgrade the device to have more input / outputs (is that an option?) rather than try to work within a problem space of not knowing some critical information. It's almost always a bigger headache than it's worth.
So interesting to see. Evolution of skills and ideas is a very important aspect of knowledge. It’s easy to look at something and say; “Well that’s a stupid idea”, but often there are several valid factors behind it that are the reason why things are the way they are. Learning from these reason is much more valuable than just looking at something and saying it’s rubbish. Thanks for the video, Marius! 😎👍🏻
More on the Magnets Controversy. Much as I enjoyed the development of the mechanical door latch, I felt it set a dangerous example of self-motivation in pursuit of personal satisfaction. Yes, very clever, and Yes, I shared the good feeling of the sound of the latch closing. But, I think the will of the people is clear: Buy the Magnets! regards, O. Tibb, CEO, Acme Magnet Corp ps: I find your videos so entertaining and inspiring. Thankyou
i look forward to the toolchange project ;) that is something i would love to make for my new 1419 CNC table. But more then with your cnc the space to add it on my cnc is very small.
Suggestion on CNC table height: from my experience I think it is better to have it at a comfortable height (maybe a bit lower than a workbench, but not much), I find myself often having to look closely to the workpiece, or looking at it from the side for aligning stuff, or simply to have a sneak peek under the dust shoe... Good luck with the toolchanger, very curious about that! ;)
Always glad to see a video from you Marius. Great content and your project list sounded great. Looking forward to their premiere. Oh yeah, my choice is drill press restore
I personally love that latching door lock. And if you made a video showing you mount 4 magnets what do you think you would have gotten in the comments then?.. You're absolutely amazing, and keep up your great work👍👍👍👍
I have a solution for the pocket door and magnets. A recessed universal 12 volt mag lock. 12 volts power supply, request to exit button inside the shop and a PIR on the entry side to the shop. It's way overkill for that application but it's a solution none the less to it. I honestly prefer the handle you made for the pocket door.
That Ulmia saw is super cool . I imagine it will last a very long time . i had an old industrial 1/2 inch drill form the fifties that i inherited . it ran at 450 rpm's , one speed . the torque was so insane that if the bit got stuck you had to immediately let go and step back until it stop .i tried to hold on one time and it threw me to the floor .
You would need to add a soft close mechanism to the door frame in order to slow down the mass of the door panel before the magnet quantity needed to hold the door closed will be effective. I would suggest experimenting with the drawer soft close damper to see if a few of those would be enough to slow the door down. That said if the soft close mechanism works you probably wouldn't need the magnets at all and can just use the awesome latch you made to keep the door closed.
I like the door latch that you made. But if you were to use magnets, I think the best bet would be to mount the magnets at or around the top of the door at the header in a line or linear. Line the small magnets from side to side to slow the door as you slam it shut. Kind of what they do with bullet trains or roller coaster braking but with rare earth magnets not electro-magnets.
My CNC is below my table saw outfield table. It was done to save space an it came with a lot of design challenges. I like that it is out of the way when not in use but there are time when accessing it can be difficult. I also installed knock off soss hinges in the top of table so I can get access if I need to. I also bought a small mechanic's stool to sit on when at the machine. Reach out if you'd like to see photos.
I think the bigger the Cnc the better it is to lower the table. I have a 4x8ft machine. And loading big 18mm ply sheets on it is a struggle even though it’s only like 55cm of the ground. Though when I’m doing smaller work I miss not having the bed higher up. psyched to see the ATC project!
The only reason that I can think of not to have the CNC set so low is that you will lose the storage underneath the table. I am moving my shop into a 8-1/2 foot (2.6 meter) by 24 foot (7.3 meter) box trailer. I am currently looking at rebuilding the cart I have my CNC router on and am thinking about building a very low platform with locking casters and on top of that the box that will serve as my CNC table. I am going to base the height on the locking metal cabinets I can get from a big box store and the shop vac I am going to mount under it. I would like to include a small cyclone but may have to mount that above the table.
I'm curious what you gona come up with for the cnc router. It takes up a lott of valuable space but needs to be accessible and convenient to use. I bild a wide schelf around mine, so i could use the space under it for tools and the space over it for wide sheets of materials.
LOL. What an epic beginning! For the future, CNC mod followed by Tablesaw restore! As for magnets, you're 100% right. Unless you're spot on, it won't work. And you'll need dampeners to slow down the door and by the time you do that, it gets complicated. And finally, some might say "use strong magnet" w/o thinking it through that it'll be harder to pull open. However, the one thing that could work well with a dampener is one of those mag-switches. Strong magnet, but a twist of the knob will open the door. Finally, your design is way more robust. I *think* I remember someone saying magnets fail after being banged around a lot, but Strength of Materials was 35 years ago! :)
I have to agree with Marius regarding the possibility of using magnets on his sliding door. His solution met the criteria of his priorities beautifully. In my grade book, that's an A++.
I second your motion. Magnets would have been the wrong choice.
I think you should definitely use magnets for the door. A whole bunch of extra-strength niobium magnets alternating with steel plates on both the end of the door and the door jamb. That way when you walk through the door with a screwdriver in one pocket and some screws in the other pocket you can stick to both the door and the jamb and have to pry yourself off both sides. You should probably also keep a pry bar near the door to get it open after it closes.
On second thought, a simple mechanical latch might be the better choice.
Hmmm ... looks like there must be a reason why this technique is used f.e. with kitchen cabinets and not a single one magnet closed(endstop holding) door is seen in the wild. This must be an idea of one of those home-automation "enthusiasts" (meaning: wet dream). You know what I mean? Self taught (which is nothing wrong, the contrary is the case) experts where the installation and knowledge grew over time, meaning: No standards, no rules and the total lack of any consistent design. In other words: Total chaos:)
It is big fun, while giving a party, the cloud provider decides that he goes out of business ... including the lighting, heaters/air conditioning, entertainment system and so on, hehehe. It is the same reason why people with a brain actually use switches to access lighting (at least have that option and the "old way of doing it" as the priority and as a fallback!!!) and no fancy A.I. or over the air controlled switching (who the actual eff needs light if he isn't PRESENT AT THAT PLACE?!

Learning from these reason is much more valuable than just looking at something and saying it’s rubbish. Thanks for the video, Marius! 😎👍🏻
Door handle is genious 👌
More on the Magnets Controversy. Much as I enjoyed the development of the mechanical door latch, I felt it set a dangerous example of self-motivation in pursuit of personal satisfaction. Yes, very clever, and Yes, I shared the good feeling of the sound of the latch closing.
But, I think the will of the people is clear: Buy the Magnets! regards, O. Tibb, CEO, Acme Magnet Corp
ps: I find your videos so entertaining and inspiring. Thankyou
Make sure to install a cleaner for the tool changer, blowing out any dust before inserting the next tool.
i look forward to the toolchange project ;) that is something i would love to make for my new 1419 CNC table. But more then with your cnc the space to add it on my cnc is very small.
Suggestion on CNC table height: from my experience I think it is better to have it at a comfortable height (maybe a bit lower than a workbench, but not much), I find myself often having to look closely to the workpiece, or looking at it from the side for aligning stuff, or simply to have a sneak peek under the dust shoe... Good luck with the toolchanger, very curious about that! ;)
Always glad to see a video from you Marius. Great content and your project list sounded great. Looking forward to their premiere. Oh yeah, my choice is drill press restore
I would like to see how you tackle the challenge of the Router tool changer
I like the door handle as it is.
I personally love that latching door lock.
And if you made a video showing you mount 4 magnets what do you think you would have gotten in the comments then?..
You're absolutely amazing, and keep up your great work👍👍👍👍
I have a solution for the pocket door and magnets. A recessed universal 12 volt mag lock. 12 volts power supply, request to exit button inside the shop and a PIR on the entry side to the shop.
It's way overkill for that application but it's a solution none the less to it. I honestly prefer the handle you made for the pocket door.
Watching a youtube video in a youtube video. We're reaching new levels here :D
That Ulmia saw is super cool . I imagine it will last a very long time .
i had an old industrial 1/2 inch drill form the fifties that i inherited . it ran at 450 rpm's , one speed . the torque was so insane that if the bit got stuck you had to immediately let go and step back until it stop .i tried to hold on one time and it threw me to the floor .
10:45 - epic idea! thanks :D
You would need to add a soft close mechanism to the door frame in order to slow down the mass of the door panel before the magnet quantity needed to hold the door closed will be effective. I would suggest experimenting with the drawer soft close damper to see if a few of those would be enough to slow the door down. That said if the soft close mechanism works you probably wouldn't need the magnets at all and can just use the awesome latch you made to keep the door closed.
I like the door latch that you made. But if you were to use magnets, I think the best bet would be to mount the magnets at or around the top of the door at the header in a line or linear. Line the small magnets from side to side to slow the door as you slam it shut. Kind of what they do with bullet trains or roller coaster braking but with rare earth magnets not electro-magnets.
Id like to see you restore your grandfather's tools , a tribute to him !
I think the algorithm will love restauration of the old drill press :P
Caramba, e eu pensei que minha oficina estava baguncada 😂😂😂😂😂
My CNC is below my table saw outfield table. It was done to save space an it came with a lot of design challenges. I like that it is out of the way when not in use but there are time when accessing it can be difficult. I also installed knock off soss hinges in the top of table so I can get access if I need to. I also bought a small mechanic's stool to sit on when at the machine. Reach out if you'd like to see photos.
I think the bigger the Cnc the better it is to lower the table. I have a 4x8ft machine. And loading big 18mm ply sheets on it is a struggle even though it’s only like 55cm of the ground. Though when I’m doing smaller work I miss not having the bed higher up. psyched to see the ATC project!
Looking forward to your project with the linear rails.
Me too. The design is almost finished
The only reason that I can think of not to have the CNC set so low is that you will lose the storage underneath the table. I am moving my shop into a 8-1/2 foot (2.6 meter) by 24 foot (7.3 meter) box trailer. I am currently looking at rebuilding the cart I have my CNC router on and am thinking about building a very low platform with locking casters and on top of that the box that will serve as my CNC table. I am going to base the height on the locking metal cabinets I can get from a big box store and the shop vac I am going to mount under it. I would like to include a small cyclone but may have to mount that above the table.
I'm curious what you gona come up with for the cnc router. It takes up a lott of valuable space but needs to be accessible and convenient to use. I bild a wide schelf around mine, so i could use the space under it for tools and the space over it for wide sheets of materials.
LOL. What an epic beginning! For the future, CNC mod followed by Tablesaw restore! As for magnets, you're 100% right. Unless you're spot on, it won't work. And you'll need dampeners to slow down the door and by the time you do that, it gets complicated. And finally, some might say "use strong magnet" w/o thinking it through that it'll be harder to pull open. However, the one thing that could work well with a dampener is one of those mag-switches. Strong magnet, but a twist of the knob will open the door. Finally, your design is way more robust. I *think* I remember someone saying magnets fail after being banged around a lot, but Strength of Materials was 35 years ago! :)
Restoring the old stuff please Marius! TFS, GB :)
