Hello author, I am constantly watch over your creativity and just want to express my respect for your talent and ability to so skillfully handle the wood, you're just a master of his craft, Bravo! Sorry for the mistake in the text, I am from Russia and I write through the translator, but I hope that the common sense of my message is not distorted.
Matthias! I have nothing but respect for you sir! What you make is outstanding and I am awestruck your contructions. Please continue the good work. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you.
Sitting here in England looking at the rain out of the window (well it is an English summer!). Just thinking to myself, this man can make anything. As usual - brilliant.
Man you are smart. It was neat watching how you put this together. Now I will go to the hardware store and buy a tool I will use once but I will not complete the project.
i am saving my pennies to build a few of your tools.. i work in a woodshop and your website keeps me enthusiastic about woodworking after a week of work. can't wait to tinker in my own shop. you're a great inspiration (:
I really like that infeed table elevating mechanism. I'm currently working on a thickness planing machine that uses a hand-held planer, held in a frame on runners a fixed height above the wood. I've seen several described on you tube but they all have a guide track that has separate lifts at each corner, and are only for small boards. I want to build one six or so feet long and it would be a real pain to set it level. With a raiser like this one it could be done with one crank. I'd probably make the levers out of metal, but the concept is a very good one.
So glad to have found this channel. If interested you sire would make an excellent tool maker. Not these kinds of tools but rather strike and prgressive die making and design. You are a natural problem solver and shop owners pay big $$$$s to a person such as yourself.
Matt, you amaze me. From home made jointer to home made air gun to...whatever may come to mind. It would be nice to have a 12 inch jointer, but I never would have thought of making one like that. Good luck with it, but as usual you seem to make your own luck. Larry
This was an impressive design. I especially like the parallelogram feature. I am currently building a jointer and was hung up on how I wanted to make the in feed, but after seeing this I think I’m gonna steal your design! Well done my friend!
This is freakin’ brilliant!!!! I have tons of maple lumber I milled with a homemade chainsaw mill but no jointer big enuf to handle it. Just might build one of these myself! Thanks again!
I am very impressed with not only your woodworking, but mechanical assets as well. I hope you have started using push pads when especially planing the face. A friend of mine lost 2 fingers when the board was shot out and his hand went down on the blades. But that surely was some good work there. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but you can buy those T nuts with barbs on them so you hammer them into place, and then tighten from the other side....they won't budge on you (but you may have discovered these already, Lee Valley, Richelieu and others carry them)
I'm not sure of the overall longevity of this but as far as workmanship goes, WOW! On another note I've been loving watching your videos and love them especially the ones you did on sharpening a plane blade and the anti nielsen plane choices. I'm just starting out in wood working and it's fantastic to have another perspective.
Excellent engineering on the parallelogram design, much easier to make with simple tools than dovetailed ways. I'd be inclined to use an induction motor, but then again, you've already got the motor off the planer.
Matthias, You remind me of when I was a young kid, and I won a blue ribbon at the local fair for a crude and simple toolbox I made. They sent me to the State Fair to exhibit and be judged. As I was walking in with my little toolbox there was another young kid rolling in his handcarved grandfather's clock!! I've been scarred all my live because of that. Wait a minute, YOU were that kid... weren't you!!?
Great job! Though please, if just for the sake of viewers attempting this, use push pads when jointing on the flat. A kickback could send that board flying back, leaving your hands to fall right into that cutterhead.
Using your ideas for a table, my old planer and some modifications, I think I can make a 18 inch thickness sander which would be much more useful to me. Thanks for the great videos / ideas!
Bonsoir superbe vidéo avec beaucoup de recherches et beaucoup de talent franchement vous êtes un géni il faut y penser moi il y a un petit moment que je voulais m'en fabriquer une le à passé depuis il faut que je prenne le temps esque vous avez des plans de fabrication et des cotes vraiment je vous ête un géni je vous souhaite une excellente soirée et à bientôt Bernard 👍👍👍
I love all your videos, but there's something special about this build...maybe its the box, maybe the parallelogram, or the cover over the belt, the sheet metal...I don't care I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THIS...once it's all together you really got a real machine & even the green looks cool to me, but then again I've always had a different taste altogether...That green works...I don't care who says otherwise. Considering FORM vs/ FUNCTION obviously function is far more important, but design is nice too! {Environmental engineering}
Normally the in feed table is moved on a slope. Matthias`s mechanism eliminates the friction though and I believe this is the right way to do it in wood. Maybe he has printed a scale the table and the side. The table moves toward the blade when it rises. At least thats how it is on my HC260.
Recommend that the shutter blades do not over one piece of plywood, and a set of rods connected by a thin rope between Saboya, Mercator passes through reyki.Pri planing the workpiece, protective shutter to move over to the side and slide to the bottom without disturbing the motion near the machine.
Actually it's called a jointer because this is exactly what it does. It was first used to reshape multiple stock boards into flat, uniform thicknesses so they could be joined in parallel, side-by-side in order to create wider boards.
At first I thought this guy is crazy... That is a high rpm blade, you gotta be crazy building that by hand! Then I ate crow, about thirty seconds in..... Lol this guy is a genius. I wish I could plan stuff like this in my head
Die Idee ist - wie immer - Sehr gut! But here comes the downside - way to big! a version where i could use a small handjointer adding some woodenplanks and transforming it into something like a table-jointer would be handy.
Рекомендую шторку над ножами сделать не из цельного куска фанеры ,а из набора реек соединёнными между сабой тонким тросом ,каторый проходит сквозь рейки.При строгании заготовки, защитная шторка должна отодвигаться в сторону и сползать в низ не мешая движению возле станка.
I really like this. I'll keep my open for a cheap thicknesser with a view to replicating your design. Thanks for posting the video. btw, I think you did a great job narrating the video and showing everything that needed to be shown. :)
You should do a video on a homemade lathe, cnc router, cnc lathe, router lift and table, cnc drill press, but start with a homemade lathe that is easy but not for wood...one sturdy enough for metal cutting kinda like the harbor freight one but a tad bigger and better.
Hi mate. That looks like a lot of fun to make. I think that the next project should be a pinball machine. I reckon that it would be a nice challenge. Even better if you could put some solenoids in there.
Cool, man! This'll save me some serious scratch. I was going to buy an 8" jointer, but now I can just build a 12" one! If my buddy still has the extra planer; there's no way I'm hacking up my brand new 13.5".
a better and cheaper alternative to the cold rolled steel plate would have been float glass. almost perfectly flat and shiny, more rigid too. and way cheaper ;) awesome machine by the way
@Matthiaswandel I guess your desire to get a 12" cut for your slabs would justify the build as I just saw in another of your videos that you already have what looks like a 6 or 8" jointer. First class woodworking there.
How hard is this to make? I am very limited on tools. I just invested thousands but I am a long way away from a good wood working shop. Something like this can really save me some cash. And more importantly give me a tool I need desperately
The video was well-made and edited and the design of the jointer seems fairly decent (except for maybe using wood as the material). I am more worried about your safety, though. My grandpa was a shop teacher for 30 years and taught me a few things: always use a push stick or pad on the flat side (planer/jointer/tablesaw, etc.), always wear closed shoes in the shop (boots with good traction, preferably), wear safety glasses when doing anything other than sanding by hand, and always de-energize the machine when working on it. I noticed in a couple of the scenes, the motor was unplugged, but I think you should take a more conscious approach about safety, especially if you are making instructional videos. I really like the idea of using a planer to make your own planer/jointer, though. Stay safe!
Great job, only thing I'd change is the guard from a pork chop to euro style. And I am stealing that fence adjusting design, much better than my clumsy and overly complicated implementation.
Mad skills!!! The jointer, that's great; explaining it in less than 10 minutes - even better!!! I love how you just get to the point.
Has anybody ever accused you of being a genius?
The stuff you make with wood simply amazes me.
Great video of how you made your jointer. The adjustment mechanism on the in-feed table is genius.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - Mattias, you're a genius, what a way to make a junker into something really really functional.
This man is a genius. Finally RUclips lives up to its potential! Keep tinkering, Matthias.
Hey Matthias,
This is incredible!
Thanks!!
I really enjoy that you added a site on all of your projects so we can see how you did them. Great job and thank you for sharing with us
Oh, don't worry. I will. I watch all of your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. You do great work!
Outstanding job. You've a knack for precision machine work. This was great to watch. Thanks.

Around here, I can buy a 12" planer for $200, but a 12" jointer would cost over $2500.
your use of wood put tears in my eyes.....
No matter why they did this, but the wonderful work, congratulations.
Awesome awesome. This machine you built is nicer than most all metal joiners. Nice job
I have watched You in the Past.
Thanks for sharing Your Master Hand crafts.

Your handy work is incredibly impressive and your videos are so inspiring. Please keep making and posting!!
brilliant. I admire people who are able to be as precise as such.
Very nice I hope that it lasts a good long time and gives you many years of reliable service.

Such precision in you work !
You are quite an inspiration for teaching others how to create their own to tools.
I wish I had the time to do all the great things you do. But, maybe when I retire? Keep up the fantastic work you do. Thanks for sharing
I am impressed with the good design and achievable results for others who like what you did.
I would imagine that building the thing, for you, gave as much enjoyment as having and using it in your shop.
I expected to see the Professor and Mary Ann step out from behind a palm tree with a plywood radio. - Great Job.
This is freakin’ brilliant!!!! I have tons of maple lumber I milled with a homemade chainsaw mill but no jointer big enuf to handle it. Just might build one of these myself! Thanks again!
I love your engineering sense. Well done!
Much quieter than the original planer/thicknesser !
Maybe they should all be built like this
same noise level.
I love how you make everything green.
I am very impressed with not only your woodworking, but mechanical assets as well. I hope you have started using push pads when especially planing the face. A friend of mine lost 2 fingers when the board was shot out and his hand went down on the blades. But that surely was some good work there. Thanks for sharing.
Hats off, gentlemen and ladies. He's a genius!

Well he's still using it 10+ years later
Excellent engineering on the parallelogram design, much easier to make with simple tools than dovetailed ways. I'd be inclined to use an induction motor, but then again, you've already got the motor off the planer.
You have a God given talent Mr. Wander
***** And spelling his name wrong.
This man's brain, my brain more than five times running. Congratulations Wandel
Matthias,
You remind me of when I was a young kid, and I won a blue ribbon at the local fair for a crude and simple toolbox I made.
They sent me to the State Fair to exhibit and be judged. As I was walking in with my little toolbox there was another young kid rolling in his handcarved grandfather's clock!!
I've been scarred all my live because of that. Wait a minute, YOU were that kid... weren't you!!?
Friend,you are a GENIUS !!!
Your videos inspire me.
Thank you.
Great job! Though please, if just for the sake of viewers attempting this, use push pads when jointing on the flat. A kickback could send that board flying back, leaving your hands to fall right into that cutterhead.
Using your ideas for a table, my old planer and some modifications, I think I can make a 18 inch thickness sander which would be much more useful to me.
Thanks for the great videos / ideas!
Now I know what I'm going to do with the 13" delta I have with a really rusty raise and lower system from being in storage. Thank you very much.
Just a 40 year old 1200 watt Variac.
Bonsoir superbe vidéo avec beaucoup de recherches et beaucoup de talent franchement vous êtes un géni il faut y penser moi il y a un petit moment que je voulais m'en fabriquer une le à passé depuis il faut que je prenne le temps esque vous avez des plans de fabrication et des cotes vraiment je vous ête un géni je vous souhaite une excellente soirée et à bientôt Bernard 👍👍👍
Well done a 12" jointer is a nice feature.
I planned on getting stuff done this afternoon, but I've just found that there's a heap of your videos I haven't watched yet!
Totally amazing Matthias. Your video's are truly inspiring.
Desde colombia gracias por los videos estoy enpezando en la carpinteria y tus inventos son lo mejor gracias
i started out thinking, why bother, just buy a cheap scheppach... but im so seriously impressed!
I love all your videos, but there's something special about this build...maybe its the box, maybe the parallelogram, or the cover over the belt, the sheet metal...I don't care I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THIS...once it's all together you really got a real machine & even the green looks cool to me, but then again I've always had a different taste altogether...That green works...I don't care who says otherwise.

Then see my video on the thickness sander.
That is just beautiful, now I have a new project, Loved it very well done!
You Are so genius and perfect man best regards from me and from port-said _ egypt
I always enjoy your innovative solutions.

Here we go, this looks excellent 👌👌👌
Love the rise and fall mechanism. Thanks.
Congratulations!!!!! great job!!!! a greeting from Uruguay!!!! Fede

Then I ate crow, about thirty seconds in..... Lol this guy is a genius. I wish I could plan stuff like this in my head
muito legal suas criaçoes de maquinas para facilitar o trabalho sem ser preciso gastar tanto
It's explained in the video.
you are my hero; what kind of engineer are you? I really like all your shop made tools
Congratulations Matthias;-) .. accurate, well-researched work.
SWEEEEET!! I've waited all my life for this video. Thanks soooo much!! Can't wait for the plans to be available!
Die Idee ist - wie immer - Sehr gut! But here comes the downside - way to big! a version where i could use a small handjointer adding some woodenplanks and transforming it into something like a table-jointer would be handy.
Mr. Wandel: I believe you could build a time machine out of wood!
your ideas are fantastic.thank all

Hello Matthias i want to give my congratulations, your projects are excellent
Oi Matthias quero dar meus parabéns, Seus projetos são ótimos.
How hard is this to make? I am very limited on tools. I just invested thousands but I am a long way away from a good wood working shop. Something like this can really save me some cash. And more importantly give me a tool I need desperately
Absolutely amazing! Now I have a reason to get rid of my Delta 12" planer...
one of my wishes is to do your projects, I have done 5 projects and I want to continue and do more projects.
Nice work. I like all your projects!!
Is there any thing you can't build! Thanks dude you are just awesome
