Building fancy wooden boxes

- Building another version of my milk crate inspired wooden boxes that I last built back in 2009. The idea of the project at the time was to use all my fancy hommeade tools. This time, I used even more homemade tools and machines!

My kids are 34 and 37 now and they still have things I made for them when little. Believe me when I say the time you spend on things for them is NEVER too long. They deserve every second.
Mine are a bit younger, but still closer to 30 than 20. It's really unfortunate that you need to be this age to truly appreciate the meaning of the old saying about parenting, "The days are long but the years are short."
@@michaelzdanis3979 Well, on the 31st I will celebrate three-quarters of a century on this earth, and with C-19 raging, I'm doing my best to wake up each morning. I told Wifey that for any reason should I go into a coma, keep me alive on ventilators so you still get my social security check. Then ignore the bills. We do what we can.
You are the most scientific and technical woodworker on RUclips. Great video, as always.
Agree
You said that was a crazy amount of work for a couple of boxes but those will probably last for over 100 years !
That's the kind of thing that will stay with your kids until they are adults and they'll keep them in the attic filled with favourite things. They may even get passed down to your grandchildren and when they get older they will truly appreciate the value of homemade wooden utilitarian boxes from the beginning of the 21st Century !
That's not 'just a couple of boxes' that's a couple of heirlooms !
Aye. Grandpa made me and my brother, apple boxes, because we were too short to reach the book cases in the house, we both have them, he has his own electronic creations inside, and i keep our family heirlooms in there.
I came to the comments to express the same thought but you beat me to it and did a better job!
That’s the woodworker’s dream, but reality is usually quite different. Maybe if they grow up to be hipsters.
Ian Clarke ...... point well made.... point taken. Keep making comments on videos because you think and speak well.
@@darinnetherland3466 I remember as a kid (around 5 or 6) I loved wooden toys, I used to play for hours with a wooden train set that had beech wood track on a block wood floor, I also remember really enjoying some wooden dolls that fitted inside each other and smelled fantastic ! I always preferred wooden items to metal or plastic but they only ever made wooden toys for small children so as I grew older I learned to make things from wood, I love the warm soft feel and the smell of wood. Anyone growing up in an environment filled with natural wood will appreciate the look, feel and smell of it and they will especially appreciate any items that were made for them.
It's lovely watching parents make things for their children, instead of buying.
Making things for your loved ones requires so much more conscious effort and devotion and displays a really thoughtful expression of love and appreciation.
Those boxes are wonderful.
Well typed
This man puts more precision in a milk crate than any project Ive ever built.
I agree, Heaven forfend he has to make a living from them
and he uses more different routers to make a milk crate than times I've used a router
Dude worries about a thousanth of an inch as much as I worry about a 64th.
Hey Matthias, good to see you uploading again. Hope the family and the new addition are well!
I love that you are back and building stuff. No matter how _simple_ it may seem!
Great to have you back Mathias 🥰👍
"And for that I'm going to use my other pantarouter" - things only Matthias Wandel can say.
Good to see you back and that you are well.
There's a company that makes them to his specs, you can buy one if you like. (I think the steel one he was using today is the machine you can purchase)
@@dwightbauer6705 do they still have it for sale? I thought it was discontinued
@@RDhali Well, they're still available on the website.
Lol
It’s so much fun watching you work. You are a genius.
I don't have the slightest idea about carpentry, but I enjoy watching your videos!!!
I'm not sure why, but this might be my favourite one of your videos. Maybe because it's a gift for your children, the attention to detail and labour-saving tips, and the cool homemade tools you use. Just great stuff.
Hey Matthias! I'm a long time fan, and I'm currently a stenography student (mostly just a hobby for now) and I like to practice captioning to your videos. I see that you don't have community translations turned on (if I remember correctly, it was your decision due to RUclips's new policy or something like that), but I want to caption some of your videos if possible. I already have a transcript of this video and I'd love to add captions to some of your videos.
Thanks, and I'm glad to see that you begun to post more and more videos!
He no care
Every time i feel the same when looking at your videos... i tell myself, let's go build a box joint jig, lets buid a pantorouter next, lets go build a bandsaw, man you tickle my desire to build things, and i thank you for this. Great motivation !
The original video for these crates was the first woodworking video I ever viewed on youtube. Seems like it was at least 10 years ago. It was also my first exposure to Matthias and it put me on the road to learning more than I ever thought I could from an internet website. In a sense Matthias is why I'm a woodworker.
"Harriet, why doesn't your dad comb his hair?"
"He does, but glue-ups always gets to him, ya know?"
your children will be able to keep these for the rest of their lives. beautiful job!
really appreciate the way you do things, Mathias !
A Tour de Force of the shop tools !
Nice to see you back in the shop
Hope everyone is doing well.
You know, this is so brilliant that one don't even know where to start. You might be used to this since you have lived with yourself your whole life but to me this is a genius doing genius stuff with genius tools.
It’s amazing how these tools make such short work of these repetitive tasks.
I think it is the time lapse filming that does that.
Paul Frederick no, cutting all those slots and tenons and whatever would be a long and tedious job with conventional tools, and even more so with hand tools. Watching Paul Sellers make this would be a multi part video series.
@@kiltymacbagpipe when Sellers is making instructional videos he slows it down for the newbies. He was a working woodworker earlier in his career though. So don't think what you see in his videos is his only speed. Watch his videos about cutting mortises. He gets a bit rambunctious in some of those.
@@kiltymacbagpipe I use floating tenons. You need a homemade mortising jig and some tenon stock cut from plywood. You size the router bit to the thickness of the plywood cut the plywood into Domino shaped strips so they will fit the mortise and start cutting mortises. Goes very fast.
Highlighting the names with black paint (or their favorite color) could be a nice touch in my opinion 😉
You burn it with a torch. Then belt sand the flat part. I've routed lots of signs.
I’m thinking green...
@@1pcfred That's a great idea!
@@buddyclem7328 it is funny how I came up with it. I was sanding a sign I'd made and I got a splinter doing it. So I thought I'll show you, you dirty so and so. Then I grabbed a torch and burnt all of the splinters off it. I was like hey this is not bad. And yeah waving a torch in the letters is way easier than trying to paint them. It's a good look. Since I came up with the idea I've seen that some others do it too. Wood burning is a legitimate technique. Unburnt the letters do barely show up.
That splinter had it coming.
I remember watching the original. It's amazing how time flies. All the best to you and yours.
Yay! Router pantograph! Haven't seen that in AGES!
Great work Matthias!!
Those boxes will probably last your kids lifetimes and beyond. Beautiful work. I especially love the use of the pantograph for engraving their names.
Now this is the amazing wood gear craziness that I Love to see with a Matthias video. Thanks for bringing on the familiar deluge of woodgear exactitude that we all hold dear. Loved it... Thanks!
A coupla boxes!... and Matthias creates furniture! Respect and great to see you back! Regards, Mark (South Africa)
YOU'RE ALWAYS GENIUS MATHIAS.
GOOD LUCK.
Your ingenuity is absolutely astounding, I love how you make these other machines
Excellent job showcasing your different tools.
That's what the original box was all about. But now I have even more tools than back then!
@@matthiaswandel well you could have resawed on your Bandsaw, and maybe somehow worked in your tilting router lift, but otherwise I think you covered pretty much as many as you could!
I feel so inadequate after watching this genius at work. Great video, as usual, Matthias. You are amazing. God bless you and welcome back.
Whenever I start to feel proud about completing some simple project, I can count on Mr. Wandel to put me back in my place. I just built some simple barn doors that look pretty good. Then Mattias gets out his HOMEMADE WOODEN GEAR COLLECTION and HOMEMADE PANTAROUTER...
I love the projects that take a crazy amount of time, at least when someone else is doing the work. Definitely a labor of love. Your kids will enjoy these for years and probably pass them on to their kids one day.
Clicked for the fancy wooden boxes but got flabbergasted by the fancy woodworking setup you have! 🤩👍🇵🇭
Any normal woodworker "I'm gonna round over these edges by doing two passes on my router", Matthias "I'm doing one pass with this bit" And that's what happens when engineering, brains and creativity meets woodworking. Love these videos, thanks man!
Um, no. A normal wood worker would use the same rounding router bit and do it like he did. Creativity? No, just normal skills.
@@videodistro or maybe not all of us have that particular bit hence some of us wouldn't have thought about it. But yeah, you're probably right. Regardless, the way Matthias approaches things and explains them is unique.
Matt, what should i say... You are awesome, beautiful work. Its engineering!
I love how strong and well made these boxes are , I always get joy from seeing well crafted things .
The kids will enjoy them and we enjoyed watching them being made. 👍🏻
I can't believe how refreshing it was to come in out of the sun for a break from my hacking today's woodworking project to find THIS beautiful piece of work. Clearly I am NOT ALONE in taking great delight in watching you work! Unfortunately, I have never been able to figure out how to put MY projects on Fast Forward in the boring, repetitious places. I still get a kick out of watching yours fly by, though. Small mind - easily distracted.
SQUIRREL!!!!
Nice sturdy boxes that'll last for years.
I’ve always wanted to build something like that!! Awesome worf👍🏻
Good to see Mathias on youtube again...
I've been watching these for years, and I barely own a tool. You're very good at your craft! Appreciate the simple to the point editing 😎
Crates to pass on to your great-great grandchildren. Stunning work!
11 years ago!!!! 11? How long have I been watching you!!! Thats terrifying
Rather impressive, but... This is an insane amount of hi tech gsdgetry to put together a simple milk box - that I am sure 90%+ woodworkers out there neither have nor would even heve use for. Albeit a self-taught carpenter myself, I should be able to do it just with a table saw, planer and a few basic handtools. May take more time but those gadgets must have taken quite some weekends to design and assemble. One of its kind, no doubt. Bravo.
Absolutely beautiful
I've added "build a 2nd Pantarouter" to my list of things to do, right after I build my first one! Great video.
Thats like working on your second million before the first is made. That would be me.
Those boxes will be holding all kinds of crap for your kids’ entire lives. 👍 😂 Another great project.
Excelente trabajo... gran idea... gracias por todos tus vídeos... y compartir...
This guy is a bloody genius !
These would make great Christmas gifts and there is plenty of time to get them done.
The subtlety and finesse of this comment are out of this website
But... I’m still going to start it on Christmas Eve. 🤷🏻♂️
Ah , a video from Matthias makes it feel like the old days.
Nice to see you again. I remembered good old days 👍🏻
Very nice build.
Thanks for posting.
Awesomely systematic way of making the boxes!
"That way they get a little bit more height"
You're a good father
Deine Projekte sind sehr cool. Ich bin immer wieder fasziniert von deinen Ideen und deren Umsetzung. Nicht nur die Holzboxen alleine, sondern auch die Maschinen mit denen du arbeitest.
my dude is like a mad scientist of woodworking
got lots of Homemade toys in this one :) Kids do love boxes, even the cardboard kind
Appreciate your discussion of maintaining quality while looking for efficiency! Watching you I believe makes me a better woodworker!
I love your videos, you and your MACHINES!!! I wish you are my neighbor! Have a great week, month... Just make more videos!
This is an epic build. The level of epicness, epicicity, epictude awesomeness let's say that yes. More awesome is the fact that he built the machines that he used to make the boxes. Epicsome 👍
Really admire your skills.
You are one of the originals. Never forget that.
Muy bonito trabajo, le quedaron muy bien,lo que mas me gusto fue la herramienta que utiliza para hacer las cajas y espigas,le ahorran el tiempo y lo hace mas rápido sin que le quede mal,felicidades
Matthias- I’ve been watching your videos for years. As a fellow engineer, I love how you build everything like a brick shit-house! Awesome! Keep it up!
The box is nice, but your tools have me watching every one of your videos!
you're really a genius matthias, those wooden machines, they're awesome.
The way your mind works...you are a true genius❤
Lovely to see you making again Matt
I love watching your method Matthias.
Make them stackable 😉
Route the top edge from inside and the bottom from outside
GREAT JIG BUILDER, AMAZING IDEAS
I never understood why an average woodworker would need the pantorouter until I saw this.
You should see all the engineering that went into the prototype and build of his pantorouter. This guy is a genius when you see all the engineering thought that go into all his builds!
He invented it...he needs it for everything. To clarify, not the pantograph, the pantorouter.
There's nothing here that he couldn't have used his quick set tenon jig and slot mortiser for.
Very nice boxes and construction methods. I'm always impressed with your videos.
Blast from the past! Always great to see you make things.
Missed seeing Matthias projects in my feed! Love these
Crazy amount of work, but sure will survive a long time! Most excellent!
Vintage looking and sturdy boxes,,, well worth the time and money..
Furniture quality wood milk crates. Love it.
You know what? I'm not a woodworker but I can make a box and I am going to do so because of this video. Thank you Matthias!
If you make a box then you're a woodworker in my book. Because making boxes is mostly what woodworking boils down to. Some are bigger than others are. Make a box big enough and you can live in it.
Matthias is the man he has inspired me to create a channel just like his
It's been a while, Matthias!
Kids...
I am very impressed with your Work 🤗
Beautiful boxes! For the screw advance box joint jig, have you considered adding a place where you can use a drill to quickly return the carriage to the starting position?
No. I have a crank which works faster than getting a drill attached and de attached.
I think this box will be great gift for my cat.
When I was a kid, greengrocers used to sell these for firewood at sixpence each. We used to make carts with them.
Wow, I've always had a fascination with boxes and crates and wanted to make my own. After seeing all the stuff you have had to make to do that i think I'll decide against doing that. I don't have the shop space anyway. Good work by the way. Always enjoy your videos.
Those are real fancy with the box joints and mortise and tenon joinery. You can make crates more easily than that.
Fantastic work!
Hi Matthias nice to see you back hope family are all well and new one is not giving you to many bad nights sleep.you all take care 😀😀👍
The kids will love them!!
Aleluya! Ya era hora de que volvieras a utilizar esas maravillosas máquinas caseras! Como siempre un trabajo perfecto.
So glad to see a new video from you. I have been waiting to see the genius of your work again!
Beautiful work Mathias. That’s a lot of mortise and tendons. I like that you made them light but strong.
I love watching these videos, everything is so well thought through and then beautifully executed.
Only Matthias can make family heirloom storage boxes! Nice......👍👍
Great looking
They look amazing
