Matthias Wandel I guess you created all your masterpieces during high school. The rest are just slight modifications to the devices you built in that era.
Matthias Wandel it was so beautiful i had to watch it twice. =) i would way rather own an awesome wooden tripod than a store bought one. Thanks, Matthias!
It amazes me how much ingenuity you have. Not to mention your wild range of skills. When I first started watching you I admit I was a little jealous. I thought to myself well I'm probably far better with Electrical than you. Then you post videos proving you can hold your own in the trade as well. I love the videos and I don't reply much but I just want to thank you for all your time and effort you put in even with the short videos. Keep it up.
***** it's funny how the first example on that page is for slotted transmission by pausing transmission, with another one for pausing reception. That's how wifi has worked since the 802.11a days.
***** Thank you for the information. Now I back to jealous lol. It amazes me how gifted some people are. Im pretty gifted myself but obviously no where near as much as Matt.
You make me laugh so hard. My dad is a physicist. I was raised with engineers. I think and act like one. Your approach to explaining things is downright EXACTLY the way I want people to talk to me. Your inventions are amazing (everything from the home-designed pantorouter to these tripods to your bandsaw to... LOTS). The "really clever" trick you use for the end-stop is also used by most cylinder locks and some semi-automatic pistols (not that you'd have the latter in Canada). I'm excited you're doing videos again, and whenever a new one shows up (laser etched combination lock) it always leads me down a one to two hour rabbit hole of watching more videos.

Makes me smile to see the simplicity and clever solutions you have for projects. Am sure your dad was the root of your obvious talents. My dad was the instigator of my own thirst for such things.
...um excelente trabalho Mattias...o que é mais notável nos seus trabalhos são os pequenos detalhes que tornam seu trabalho, sua criatividade,sua perfeição muito bons...
I like your videos. Your videos are correctly detailed and understandable. Also, you are also a long time photographer. I learned photography from a from a High School Printing and Photography class. My first 35mm was a Minolta SR101 in the 1970s. Amateur photography has changed to where people don't have a clue what f-stops and depth of field is. Furthermore they don't want to know. I believe they are missing a different viewpoint that enhances photographic skills in still and video photography. Your woodworking skills are awsome too! So many RUclips videos are
Thanks Matthias, Those attention to little details and motivation explanation, made you really unique content provider. Watching how you "think it out" is much interesting compared to just "How it is done".
Nice bit of work there. It should be noted however that camera mounting threads are always placed in the centre of the image sensor (be it analog or digital), so when you rotate the camera around on the mount it rotates about the centre of the sensor, and doesn't affect things by introducing parallax errors.
You are awesome. First comment ever on RUclips. You make me wish I could go back to school and keep learning. They should pay you to teach how they pay athletes to play. The fact you share your gifts with the world is incredible. Please keep it up!!! I am mesmerized and in awe of things I never knew I cared about. I just took up the hobby of building, you definitely make it look easier than it is, but it is certainly something to strive towards!
Amei o projeto. Me parece forte e confiável. O detalhe do "bloqueador" e das articulações o torna inspirador para mim. Grata por compartilhar. Gosto muito do canal.
Saying you may make a video that you already made and uploaded made me feel like I entered a time travel episode of the Twilight Zone. Nice tripods, how are they weight wise compared to similarly sized aluminium/plastic tripods?
Built in highschool. Jeez. I might as well just burn my workshop down. I've always assumed your awesome skills came from decades of practice and so someday maybe I might begin to approach a skill level comparable if I really worked at it. Clearly, though, you were born with a superpower and the quest is hopeless. ;)
I have an Equatorial mount for my telescope with a base that has been in need of repair for some time. Between this video and catching a bit of the Delta Aquariid shower last night... something is telling me its time to fix it. Thanks Matthias!
Hi sir i'd like to say your works are great.. And i am a fan of yours here in the Philippines. I'd like to ask for an idea for a selfie stick since you have shown your tripod stick work.. Thank you sir and more power!
Matthias wandel, quiero felicitar por todos sus vídeos, y sus proyectos de construcción de maquinas de trabajo, ami me gusta la carpintera y me a servido mucho
Matthias Wandel I meant photographs taken with that vintage camera, not photographs of the woodworking project! I am just curious to see how that camera shoots!
Scrap wood City And I was referring to a link from inside the linked article, not the linked article itself. Here's the link from inside the article: www.sentex.net/~mwandel/blueprint/blueprint.html
Scrap wood City I had no idea that blueprint paper is actually photo sensitive. The exposure time and the ISO are also really impressive! Very interesting!
Sidenote, offsetting the thread for attaching the camera is not the best idea, as the mounting nut is always directly below the sensor, meaning pans look a little nicer. Other than this, i am very impressed with how thin you managed to make the legs!
Hello Mathias, I am just sugesting. Stop using aluminium on plates, screws, or any other metalic componets on a wooden projects. Try to use bronce, and you will see that they will look much more antiquestic.
hahahaha I im in highschool and i did the same thing except I used a broken snare drum stand and pvc and hose clamps. I wish my dad had tools so I could do stuff like this :(
I have a question for you Mathias, where did you go to college. It is interesting because you seem very smart and based of what you did in high school and your career (From what I picked up watching your videos) you must be really educated.
Could you make some kind of tripod legs for someone who doesn't have a table saw and a router? I only got scrollsaw, jigsaw, circular saw, and some sanders. Also, a cordless drill.
Carlos Eduardo Screw your circular saw down to a piece of plywood, plunge the blade through, flip the whole thing over. Now you have a makeshift table saw!
I think you posted out of order. At the end of this video you say you might do a video on the 30 degree dovetail on the table saw. But I watch that yesterday. Am I in a time warp.
@Matthias Wandel i have been watching your channel for a while now big fan. i have built my own camera, and i have been wanting to build my own tripod for it, do you have any tips? the tricky part is that it is a large format camera, but not like you have ever seen hahaha. its a 15x15 camera so it is pretty heavy, also it is in 3 different segments. so it needs a platform first i do collodion wet plates with it.
Pretty neat! I love the design of those three section legs. Do you think they could work as full extension draw slides? Also, I don't understand how those pins keep the legs tighter, or what limits the outward angle of the legs? I don't remember seeing a side handle on typical tripods, that practicle genious, I think, is most of the fun of your videos. Thanks!
House of Hacks I suppose that's good to know. I bought a polaroid camera like that for my sister-in-law and the only rolls I could find were ridiculously expensive.
jesusnthedaisychain Yeah, you can usually find decent prices for film on Amazon. Sometimes retail camera stores may charge more for specialty film like this. Although, some Polaroid cameras had film in packs with built in batteries. Those I think aren't manufactured any more and can get really pricy because you're buy old stock. However, there are ways to open them up and put regular (cheaper) Polaroid film in. If that's your sister's case, a bit of web searching should pull up descriptions of how to do that.
About the wooden tripods I built back when I was a poor highschool student.

I know right? 100 videos on woodworking and then he pulls out a 20 year old power supply. It's fucked.
These are gorgeous. In 1982 I had just learned to tie my shoes.

"It's clever.........It's almost a bit too clever". What a great line.
Well done!

Nice Pentax Spotmatic!! Can't beat those old K-mount for simplicity. I have a K-1000 that I still love to use.
sandnessmj Mine is actually pre-k-mount. It's a screwmount
Really like the hidden positive stop. Elegantly simple design of that provides important function.
Makes me smile to see the simplicity and clever solutions you have for projects. Am sure your dad was the root of your obvious talents. My dad was the instigator of my own thirst for such things.

You're one of the most original people out there. Love your videos.
Thanks Matthias,
Those attention to little details and motivation explanation, made you really unique content provider. Watching how you "think it out" is much interesting compared to just "How it is done".
As ahi Pentax Spotmatic! I had two of those; my first ever a cameras with meters. Nice job on tripod!
Those are really impressive Matthias, especially since you made them when you were so young! Thanks for sharing!
They have a fantastic antique look, you certainly possess an artistic flare that you lend to your projects.
Ryan
You are always awesome.
Thumbs up for your hard work .
So much more beautiful than a store bought tripod and just as functional. This is so cool Matthias
You never cease to amaze me! Love your channel!
That's really fascinating! I want to build a tripod of my own now
Nice bit of work there. It should be noted however that camera mounting threads are always placed in the centre of the image sensor (be it analog or digital), so when you rotate the camera around on the mount it rotates about the centre of the sensor, and doesn't affect things by introducing parallax errors.

Really nice tripods. You can photograph directly onto positive paper btw, if you want to still use your land camera.

@ 3:04 that is very clever indeed. Thank you for posting this video! I can't wait for the next one!
Saying you may make a video that you already made and uploaded made me feel like I entered a time travel episode of the Twilight Zone.
Nice tripods, how are they weight wise compared to similarly sized aluminium/plastic tripods?
These are super cool man thanks for sharing them. Fantastic craftsmanship and enginuity
Ingenious and very beautiful. Really amazing work, as usual.

Very Cool !!!! Wow, Very big camera ! Great Job !!
The positive stop is just genius.
Amazing tripods and cameras :D
Love it. Gonna make ine for the family reunion.
I am so impressed with you. Is there anything you can't well?
I just watch about 20 of your videos and everyone was excellent.
You are one unique man.
This is incredible.
No doubt, you are a genius, Matthias!
These are great! Thanks for sharing!
Great video, Matthias!!
Thanks.
Cheers.
Mauro
Just an amazing design
That's cool Matthias. I like your cameras. Douglas
very good work
outstanding, you're a major inspiration to us all
Hi sir i'd like to say your works are great.. And i am a fan of yours here in the Philippines. I'd like to ask for an idea for a selfie stick since you have shown your tripod stick work.. Thank you sir and more power!
Man those tripods are awesome ! .. you never cease to amaze me :)

That 95A is one of the few Polaroids I am missing in my collection.
very smart design like everytime
Awesome, Really cool.!
Awesome, it would be nice to show us some photos taken with that huge brown camera of yours!
Scrap wood City There's a link from inside the linked article. As always.

Clever indeed :)
That's neat! A PVC version for those who take water fowl pictures would be really useful....
Awesome,.........as usual!
please make a video on how to make one of these
Please make a painting easel
Hello Mathias, I am just sugesting. Stop using aluminium on plates, screws, or any other metalic componets on a wooden projects. Try to use bronce, and you will see that they will look much more antiquestic.
Too good.
Thanks. I’m gonna try to make one awesome.
Wonderfull. Nice. Inventive. Even for putting it im my living room, it 'll be nice. Thanks. I'd like to start making one for myself.
hahahaha I im in highschool and i did the same thing except I used a broken snare drum stand and pvc and hose clamps. I wish my dad had tools so I could do stuff like this :(
Pretty incredible ingenuity Matthias. Any plans for plans?
very good
They needed you on Gilligan's Island
Nice!
shiz, thanks for the information, wanted to make an easel with extend-able tripod legs for a while but i just didn’t know how and Now it clicked.
looking good. how much does it weight?
I have a question for you Mathias, where did you go to college. It is interesting because you seem very smart and based of what you did in high school and your career (From what I picked up watching your videos) you must be really educated.
excelente ideia. parabéns
can you make an instructional video?
Could you make some kind of tripod legs for someone who doesn't have a table saw and a router?
I only got scrollsaw, jigsaw, circular saw, and some sanders. Also, a cordless drill.
Carlos Eduardo Screw your circular saw down to a piece of plywood, plunge the blade through, flip the whole thing over. Now you have a makeshift table saw!
J DeWitt Yes, I done that before, but this contraption is a accident waiting to happen. No proper fence, no riving knife, and stuff
amazing!
I think you posted out of order. At the end of this video you say you might do a video on the 30 degree dovetail on the table saw. But I watch that yesterday. Am I in a time warp.
j'adore vos vidéos. Dommage quelles ne soit pas en français.
Cool!
This video sponsered by cameras. Cameras. It's like the camera on your phone, but that's all it does.
mizuluhta There is camera on phones now days? Didn't know. Still using the Sturdiest Nokia.
I have that exact Polaroid
wonder ful beauti ful very good and very nice
I have a telescope tripod that is a similar design.
me gustan mucho tus vídeos pero no sé inglés ¿porque no pones algún subtítulo? gracias. te felicitó y te ánimo para que edites muchos más.
Made a tripod..better some that are factory made. subscribed.
awesomee
@Matthias Wandel i have been watching your channel for a while now big fan.
i have built my own camera, and i have been wanting to build my own tripod for it, do you have any tips? the tricky part is that it is a large format camera, but not like you have ever seen hahaha. its a 15x15 camera so it is pretty heavy, also it is in 3 different segments. so it needs a platform first
i do collodion wet plates with it.
How are those on slippery surfaces? Are there rubber feet or ??
wordsnwood Rubber feet. On slippery floors, I have to not angle the legs too far.
Good work :)
How does the mass of these wooden tripods compare with your metal one? Great design!
Pretty neat! I love the design of those three section legs. Do you think they could work as full extension draw slides? Also, I don't understand how those pins keep the legs tighter, or what limits the outward angle of the legs? I don't remember seeing a side handle on typical tripods, that practicle genious, I think, is most of the fun of your videos. Thanks!
Darnley Bynoe The legs wouldn't be practical as drawer slides. Too hard to slide, and not strong enough.
How are you feeling about the heat right now in Ottawa Matthias? I hope your shop is cooled unlike mine. Thinking of making a tripod soon with steel.
Carry on
Are you produce them?
I don't think they even make film for those polaroid cameras anymore. You think it was expensive then? Try it now!
jesusnthedaisychain Fujifilm still manufactures the film. It's not terribly expensive. Around $1/image.
House of Hacks I suppose that's good to know. I bought a polaroid camera like that for my sister-in-law and the only rolls I could find were ridiculously expensive.
jesusnthedaisychain Yeah, you can usually find decent prices for film on Amazon. Sometimes retail camera stores may charge more for specialty film like this.

What happened to your channel?
Now you just need a new camera :D
Is it easy to get all three to the same length?
***** Yes, I just stand it up with the legs folded in and let them drop to the ground.
My sister kept getting her long hair caught in her Slinky.
could you make the legs lock at an angle?
Buddha Belly Too complicated. That's what the rubber feet are for.
paigjhsrgspogisrgs
Matthias Wandel
You could attach strings between the legs, so when they open the strings keep the legs at a set distance.
SuperDeinVadda Or I could just leave it as is. No strings, no mess, no tangle. And it works just fine. that's the best solution.
Today's episode is brought to you by: Wood!
what wood did you used for these tripods ?
U da man
