Building the top enclosure for my 26" bandsaw. But I held off uploading until I finished the plans, which took some time. Top enclosure: woodgears.ca/bi... Plans: woodgears.ca/bi...
@@Lee117five0 You gotta spin the nut faster than the RPM of the saw, so some kind of high-speed automatic socket driver is going to be needed. Once the nut is off, the blade is gonna start wobbling all over the place. So grab it quick! Getting the other blade on is simpler, since it isn't spinning (yet). Slide it over that arbor, but be careful! Somehow you gotta keep it steady with one hand, and with the other, get your washer and nut ready. If you time it just right, the left-hand-threaded arbor nut will grab onto the threaded arbor, and its inertia (not spinning) will allow it to thread itself all way up. Release the new blade at just the right moment, and *BAM*, everything comes together, and your blade is changed. Why would you do it any other way?
The fossil record shows us the evolution of the Bandsawarus growing to gigantic proportions in the prehistoric era. We think these creatures were green when they were alive.
absolutely unbelievable what you are building. Dust in your hair, glue on your fingers and the love of us in your heart. thank you for the effort. greetings from Gifhorn (Germany
Matthias, you're a true genius! I appreciate your deep dives of problem solving while building and have learned many tips and techniques from your videos. Your painstaking process has become inspirational to myself and I'm sure many others. Keep up the amazing work!
Regarding 2:31 . . . A friend of a friend has an uncle in the skunkworks product development tiger team at Lee Valley Tools. Rumor has it they are working on a tablesaw add-on that allows for blade changes with a spinning arbor. Perfect for the hobbyist who wants to shave off 90 seconds of wasted time twice a week. Projected MSRP is only $1285.
Lieber Matthias , vielen Dank für das aktivieren der Untertitelung . Nun macht es wieder Spaß deinen Videos zu schauen . Herzliche Grüße aus Hamburg Germany ! :)
Really demonstrating the beauty and elegance of the Japanese pull saw there lol. It's always satisfying to see the good ole Matthias Green at the end of a project
OMG finally i see Mathias mount a Piano hinge....and it makes my day to see him also finding no "lifehack" to mount it quick and easy and right at the same time ^^
If it is homemade it would depend on whether or not a "quick blade change" feature was designed into it. I don't think store bought units have that yet. I think it is a safety concern.
I liked how you mentioned that you were getting frustrated and wanted to start using the bandsaw already. You could have fooled me, I thought building band saws *was* your passion. 😁
Lieber Matthias , ich schaue deine Videos schon seit Jahren sehr gerne . Leider bin ich hörbehindert und bin auf Untertitelung angewiesen .

"I don't follow plans, I make them"... sometimes building a one of a kind item is a catch-22. You can't make plans until you build the thing, but you want to have plans to build the thing from. So unless you spend a tremendous time with 3D modeling, you will still need to make many of the tweaks that you have made during this construction, so don't worry too much about that.
There's always 2 stages of using it.....The its at the point where I can "play" with it and grab some scraps to just cut in half. Then there's the "done" where it actually becomes a tool in the shop. I'm not sure which is initially more exciting.
I have been woodworking for 87 years and not once have I turned off my tablesaw for changing blades. Chance of injury: 0% (when know what your doing). If you snowflakes want to waste your time pressing buttons all day, go ahead.
@@Michael88324 I've found the trick is to remove the belt before the pulley removes your fingers. Little touch and go, but we can't hand any downtime in my hobby shop, that jointer needs to be running 24x7.
Is there a reason for the window board screws for the latches or just the regular "on hand, the correct length"? My guess is that you could change the blades while the machine is running w/o getting clapped.. but its pretty slim chance to get it done; like 0.00000000001%
the blade change joke, lol This came out really good, as per usual, all the adhoc changes looked good. I noticed the square drive wood screws, is there a type that you recommend? I have used 18-8 (305) SS Square Drive (Bugle), Type 17 Wood Cutting Point, from Bolt Dropper that have worked well for me, but I need to order more because I have run out.
I bought all the plans for the previous band saws, the pantorouter and the pantorouter XL. I also bought the Bigprint program -- and I'm surprised how often I use it. Now I'm heading over to buy the plans for the 26" bandsaw. Matthias -- when are you starting on the ~40" band saw?
"I don't follow the plans, I make them" - spoken like a true boss!
That was a truly deserved/fitting flex from Matthias :)
He's the boss !😎😁
Do as I plan, not as I do.
So most likey nobody else follows plans either.
You are the only youtuber that i watch all the video without skipping. love it for 8 years now!! keep up the good job!!
"If you try to change the blade while it's running, the chance of injury is pretty much 100%." -Matthias Wandel 2021
Please never change. Lol
Sounds like a challenge...

@@jfischer507 You'd probably need to turn a router into a nut driver to get enough speed, but it might not have the torque.
Challenge accepted.

2:32 *Noted*
Can always trust solid advice from Matthias.
"looking forward to finishing it so I can use it".... Use it to make a 34" bandsaw?
At some point he runs into problems with the ceiling, which clearly means he needs to move back to the pole barn in the country.
@@jandrewmore move back? Why not build new? He can even use his new 34" to resaw his own trees to make his own lumber.
@@maxamos7 Not sure how much room he has on the current lot his house is on.
@@jandrewmore That's okay, we'll just construct more lot out of old pallet scraps.
You are 100% correct. Injury is guaranteed if you try changing a saw blade while the saw is running. Good advice.
i love that you show your mistakes. I haven't built the 20" yet i gotta get to work
Matthias, you're a true genius! I appreciate your deep dives of problem solving while building and have learned many tips and techniques from your videos. Your painstaking process has become inspirational to myself and I'm sure many others. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you very sincerely for adding captions. I enjoy your videos very much and this makes them a lot easier for me.

For the arbour or replacement Bionic hands?
/me makes a note: "Turn off saw before changing blade."
just like turn off PC before plugging in new cards!
@@matthiaswandel it can be more fun seeing what kind of smoke comes out though!
I like leaving the saw running. Makes tightening the nut much easier and faster. Getting the nut off, that's a challenge. Shame I don't have fingers.
@@matthiaswandel Nah. Not like that AT ALL.
@@matthiaswandel You should sell a T-shirt with this printed on it.

I love the subtle flex of throwing some dumbbells in there. Like “yea I workout” haha
I don't. Thats why they are in the shop. Very useful from time to time.
2:31 thank you!
It never gets old watching you build bandsaws.
Use it?!? Designing and building is the real joy. Time to start the 30” bandsaw!
Really demonstrating the beauty and elegance of the Japanese pull saw there lol. It's always satisfying to see the good ole Matthias Green at the end of a project
I purchased the plans yesterday, thanks for all your work on these. I'm going to follow like.... 50% of it lol
The long-reach clamp at 5:18 definitely made the difference.
OMG finally i see Mathias mount a Piano hinge....and it makes my day to see him also finding no "lifehack" to mount it quick and easy and right at the same time ^^
You are the King of RUclips woodworking videos please continue on making these wounderful machines and plans i buy em all. Greatings from sweden.
So nice to see how it could when it's well designed (or readjusted) !
Thx
Do we have to turn the saw off before switching the blade if it's a homemade saw or just manufactured units?
Just curious. And I hear that audience engagement helps videos on RUclips.
I could be wrong about that though.
You don't HAVE to turn off the switch. You could just unplug it too!
If it is homemade it would depend on whether or not a "quick blade change" feature was designed into it. I don't think store bought units have that yet. I think it is a safety concern.
the safety comment made my day even better than just your video. Thank you!
Thank you for the knowledge. I am from Indonesia
You have the best safety tips!!!
Using that clamp as a weight is a nice touch.
Damn that thing is big (and looks real good). Great job :)
You keep me inspired to build my own projects. Thanks for everything
now that's some quality safety advice :)
Holy crap, I can't believe how much detail you have in those plans.
I can, it’s how he rolls. I love it
Beautiful, Matthias. Really fantastic work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I liked how you mentioned that you were getting frustrated and wanted to start using the bandsaw already. You could have fooled me, I thought building band saws *was* your passion. 😁
this saw is incredible... down to every little detail.
I am looking forward to seeing this great machine running.
I am very happy for you Matthias!!!
Mathias! You are a true artist..
Looking forward to the video of your first project using it. Great job.
Always amazed at what you do. Great bandsaw. I'm sure you'll enjoy using it!
Mathias: Pretty much 100%
Me: So your telling me there's a chance?
Excellent! Excited to dig into the plans (plus it looks like I can download the 20 in plans as a bonus). Thank you!
Your work shop is very nice 👍👌💐
Your The Man!!! Amazing Work!!! Thank You!!!! Much Appreciated!!! 😲🤴👍😎😃
Such a cool saw
Congratulations on completing the plans!
Can we have the Rack and Pinion garage door revisited? This time also locking above and below...
...in case you are now looking for new projects 😎
you are a beast Creating wood working proyect

Don't change the blade with the saw running. Best safety lecture ever.
Thank you!
This has to be the most hodgepodge Mathias project I have ever seen!
Good god man what are you making with it? A Yacht? Cannot wait!
"I don't follow plans... I make them!" 😲 Well... I see that you are using your retro-precision technique... it's a master class in tweaking!
That don't change the blade with the saw running bit killed me 🤣🤣
hi, it will be fun to watch some tests on cutting metal
Sounds like a Titel on John Heisz channel: can you change a table saw blade with table saw running ;)
lmao
Sounds like it's almost time to start a new project. Would you have use for a DIY drum sander?
I am also hoping that is in the works. I know there are tons of other videos, but I would love to see Mathias put one together.
I knew the comments would be on 🔥 100% of the time you should never mention safety 🤫
Sono impressionato sei un fenomeno!!!
GREEN PAINT IS ON!!!! 🍻🥳🥳🎉🎈🍾
Excellent. Glad you’re done-ish.

Matthias showing all his strengths in a single episode here: using hand tools, metalworking and giving safety advice! 😂

Please do a video on changing the blade while it is switched on
Thanks for including something for safety nerds.
Well done Matt, now what about the tip and turn and rails to turn it into a log mill, as you had to do with your smaller saw ?
I have been woodworking for 87 years and not once have I turned off my tablesaw for changing blades. Chance of injury: 0% (when know what your doing). If you snowflakes want to waste your time pressing buttons all day, go ahead.
Yeah, I found out how to do that on my 15th year of woodworking, very useful tips
@@Michael88324 I've found the trick is to remove the belt before the pulley removes your fingers. Little touch and go, but we can't hand any downtime in my hobby shop, that jointer needs to be running 24x7.
Definitely feels better with a bigger opening under the wheel.

I can't wait for "Speedrun: making your own bandsaw" videos.

I recommend using what is locally available and reasonably priced.
@@matthiaswandel thank you. I'll have to make another excel spread sheet to compare prices for hardware
Do you have plans to make a bigger saw? Perhaps a portable sawmill for cutting up big trees?
7:23 and he was like "skyler I'm the one who knocks"
Haha! Or Linus Torvalds. "Backups are for wimps. Real men upload their data to an FTP site and have everyone else mirror it."
Looking forward to using it... to build a 36" bandsaw?
Well, as Mattias can't go bigger. What about a 2inch bandsaw?
What is this? A bandsaw for ants?!
Only thing lest is for Matthias to go CNC... if there's a way to make a wood ball screw.
You make many videos about tool making of the shop. What are you making with these tools to survive?
2:27 - You gloriously facetious bastard!
very cool
Hey nice work!
Thanks for sharing that!
I bought all the plans for the previous band saws, the pantorouter and the pantorouter XL.
I also bought the Bigprint program -- and I'm surprised how often I use it.
Now I'm heading over to buy the plans for the 26" bandsaw.
Matthias -- when are you starting on the ~40" band saw?
@2:29 to each his own, I unplug my saw before changing the blade. Just not taking any chances.
Sehr gutes Video, mach weiter so. Gruß aus Deutschland
Well don, Matthias! I am not very good a following plans either, especially my own. I'm forever making new tweaks during a build.
problem with your own plans is constant second guessing. but if you build it a second time, that goes away.
What CAD program do you use?
What are the upsides to making a bigger bandsaw? I don't know if you answered this already
Also, it’s a good idea to park your car before change the tire.
hey matthias did you use those dumbells to exercise?
I did once or twice, yes.
"I don't follow plans. I make them."
All human progress explained.
Wait, are you saying you didn't trip the main circuit breaker to your house before changing that saw blade?
I don't know why, but I love splines.
I think I just joined the band ... saw.
This had to be pointed out.
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work. בס״ד
... Pretty much 100%... So, at least one of you are a ninja...
I wonder if anyone out there changes blades when the machine running,
of course but they rarely do it twice.
Awesome
