Matthias I found your channel the other day and now I'm hooked!! Thank you! I especially enjoy your videos of some of your dads old work, his hindges are beautiful works of functional art. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing new videos when they come up.
Matthias, from Peru I send my sincere congratulations for your work and your teaching, you are an example and motivation to make things better with free time and curiosity and wood tools. A big hug to the distance and to continue your support for all of us who like the wood work even without being experts.
@@hoold01 He told you his dad use to make these hinges, that tells you right there that his dad made them without a pantorouter. Because he also told you, he for himself is who invented the pantorouter, he was only just an itch in his dads pants when his dad made those hinge, the pantorouter came years later.
@@hoold01 But if you would have said something like " because nobody made the pandorouter into a automatic unit yet", because if that pantorouter was automatic controlled to do all the cuts and align itself to your measurements, then maybe they could produce those wooden hinges at reasonable price, and therefore mass produce them. Also, you have to want them, if not, they won't be mass produced, and that means not just you wanting them, you and the rest of the people would need to want them to, else they won't mass produce them. The real answer is "because steel took the show!" Stronger, lighter, and slimmer for its strength to weigh/volume ratio than wood.
I love this, might do decorative hinges for the cabinets in my house this way. I like it because you can have any amount of inset, overlay... Just so awesome!!!
Diction apologize for my writing, I do not even speak English, I write the following message by google translator. Matthias: Very good and simple, your project.I try, always, to do something like what you samples; but often I do not go as well, but I insist. A hug
Matthias, it's always such a pleasure to watch your videos. You make it all look so simple and easy to do! Obviously there's always a lot more work and problems involved (at least for beginners like me) that never make it into the video. It's inspiring to see what's possible with proper measurements and the patience to think through a task completely to solve it the best way possible. Keep up the great work! :)
Hello Matthias, As as keen amateur wood worker/turner I have always been intrigued by wooden hinges but never got round to trying to make some. Hopefully this video will give me the final push so many thanks. Alan.
I really like handmade wooden hinges. Your method looks simpler than others that I've seen and very robust too. I may do something like that for a new bathroom vanity cabinet, but make them more ornate with some carving details. The nice thing is if I screw it up, the loss is minimal (just a few small pieces of wood) and can try again. Thumbs up!
Matt whatever you feature in your shows... were all a great eye opener, you never cease to amaze me every time... your my idol... yoh The Man... keep it up you are the Best..!!!
Lovely hinges Matt, too good for the Garage! I think I might had just fit a sliding panel in this situation. In Spain we had this type of metal hinge on everything, makes life so much easier, but I can only find large ones here, so may have to resort to making them - Thanks
Hello again Matthias, In my last comment I forgot to mention your use of candle wax. I have a 70 years old friend who is a master cabinet maker. He has done his best to try and make a wood worker out of me and one of the things he is never without is a piece of candle. He uses it to wax screws even though you can buy silicon coated ones. It was only quite recently that I got him to use an electric screwdriver!! If a drawer is jamming slightly, or a door sticking out comes his piece of candle. When using a handsaw he rubs the blade with the candle and it pulls back and forth like silk. An old- fashioned remedy but unbeatable. Alan.
alan that was how we protected the tables of all our machines... rub on a bit of candle then polish with a cloth. protects from rust and helps pieces slide more easily.
Fantastic! Instead of trying to hide the hinges show the beauty and functionality. Your's are really nice, but your dad's are beautiful! Wish I could have met him.
I've been looking to do a shop cabinet upgrade, with a theme of not using any manufactured door or drawer hardware, but instead using shop-made. I had been thinking of 1/4"-thick cabinet doors sliding in wooden grooves that I cut into tracks, but these excellent hinges now give me pause.
Heck, how can one not like this video? About cordless drills... When they first came out and were shown to be handy, every woodworker wanted one. With increasing battery life and falling prices, it turned out that every woodworker had to have TWO! One for drilling the holes, one for driving the screws. Clearly, Matthias has at least two. For years, I only had one, but I bought a second one on Friday.
***** The drill I bought on Friday was a Ryobi cordless. It came with two batteries and a charger. My cost was $79, which I thought was a good deal. How many kilowatt hours it takes to charge a battery, I'm not sure.
***** Ditto. That and the fact that nothing is more frustrating than running out of charge in the middle of working. Sure, I could carry around 3+ spare batteries, but at a cost of 50-70% of the original price. Pfft. Me gusta cords.
in the interests of pedanticism ;) the first cordless drill looks like an "impacter" if it is, its a much more effective tool for driving screws, bolts, nuts etc... upgrading to one (if you have a need for it) is totally justified.
I have a nice little (corded) impact driver. Best thing I'd ever bought. Makes driving screws easy, though I prefer to use either star or square drive.
***** If you get one where they actually puy enough work into the charger, the charger should keep tabs on the battery charge, then fully discharge it before charging it. A relatively easy and cheap thing to do, which makes it that much weirder that only the most expensive chargers do so. That said, if you are running a lithium battery, that would not at all want to be discharge, rather the opposite. Be nice to your batteries, and they will last :)
I looked for but didn't find a video about making more stable hinges using your box joint cutting jig. Obviously those wouldn't have worked for this project, but it might make a worthwhile project video in the future.
The ones your pop made are pretty. I have safe door hinges that are also the same, It allows the door to be removed for lock maintenance without having to move the whole safe. You could insert a shim washer on the pin to reduce friction and squeak, nylon, soda bottle, that sort of thing.
Simply a thumbs up ! ! ! Simple elegance is far superior to 'fancy store bought ' COOKIE CUTTER hardware ! Do it yourself, and you can make your own replacements ! ( Corporations are for HIDING MONEY, ) ! ;) Cheers !
TE AGRADEZCO DE GRAN MANERA, Matthias, por este buen trabajo. El asunto es que necesito adquirir una herramienta eléctrica como la del vídeo. BENDICIONES.
Yes sir I watched them probably last month probably right before you started the table saw build. I might have missed one or two of the marble run videos, but I seriously watched (pretty much) all of your videos and Mr. Ramsey's. I recently got a table saw and then found out I have a "Woodcraft" store here in Tulsa and went on a woodworking video binge.
>bothers to make nice hinges >sticks it on an OSB box FFS. Although I kinda agree on the drilling with impact. Inexplicably, it seems like cordless drills have crap max RPM and the drivers will typically sit around 3000.
perhaps it would have been a better idea to have the dowel on the door half of the hinge. Now when the door is off, the dowel is exposed and might be damaged while trying to put something in the cabinet. It seems to me that it would have been easier to replace a broken part on the door, than to try and get that mortised joint apart to replace the lower portion of the hinge.
Saw that you also used a wooden hinge like technique for making a parallelogram stair gate, did you use wax on that too? Figured it would reduce the noise quite a bit :)
Thanks Matthias, you really make it look soooo easy. Love your vids!! How much does that mortise and tenon contraption cost any way? Thanks again and Happy Holidays to you and yours!!
I like the brief video format.
Nothing here but useful information and design insight.
Wow, your dad's hinges are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
I've admired your dad's hinges when you showed them in previous videos. Thanks for showing us how to make them!

These hinges are actually really beautiful! Wonder why they are not very common.
There are maybe a couple of hundred pantorouters in the world and maybe a million people who are aware of the hinges. The disparity is clear. ;-)
I think it is quite obvious that you do not really need a pantorouter to make wooden hinges...
Because it can't be mass produced at a reasonable price. period
@@hoold01 He told you his dad use to make these hinges, that tells you right there that his dad made them without a pantorouter. Because he also told you, he for himself is who invented the pantorouter, he was only just an itch in his dads pants when his dad made those hinge, the pantorouter came years later.

Alan.
Great video on wooden hinges. I have many upcoming projects that wooden hinges seem like a great option.
Matthias, those are some awesome looking hinges. Gives me a few new ideas. I never thought about wooden hinges before, thanks for posting this video.
Great video! Cool to see you using the new pantourouter. What a nice machine.
Cute rustic hinges.
I think I liked the spooky squeak!
Thanks for this tutorial! Trying to figure out how to do a concealed wooden hinges but seeing this has helped me.
absolutely amazing beautifully designed hinges been watching your videos and they have given me some great ideas as a beginner
Thanks for being you matthias! I'm so glad I found your channel.

Thanks for making a video on this. I would love to see some of the fancier designs your dad made being made, too.
i am so impressed. You are a guru Matthias. I love your channel.
I always wondered if you would replicate your dad's design, I like your minimalist take on the idea.
Nice video and great looking hinges. The ones your dad made are really nice! Nice looking Pantorouter
Fantastic! Instead of trying to hide the hinges show the beauty and functionality. Your's are really nice, but your dad's are beautiful! Wish I could have met him.

The oldest ideas still are the most clever... great video!
I love the hinges. Very cool.
your videos are some of my favorite on youtube!

You are very very professional carpenter. I haven't seen a carpenter like you.
Love the idea, I have never thought of doing this before.
because of the stay at home order, i didn't want to go the hardware store to buy hinges. this will work and look much better! thanks.
Awesome as always.. I would like to see what kind of pan and tilt camera jib you would come up with.. Everything you make is awesome!!
No se que me maravilla más, tu habilidad o le calidad de tus herramientas. Un abrazo. Good work.
Excellent idea! thanks!
Fantastic Matthyas!
I looked for but didn't find a video about making more stable hinges using your box joint cutting jig. Obviously those wouldn't have worked for this project, but it might make a worthwhile project video in the future.
Excellent master your work, your router is not difficult at all. I hope to make my hinges soon. Greetings and continues to bring great ideas.
That's pretty neat man!
A very nice job!
GENIAL TU TRABAJO, MUY BUENO Y BONITO. FELICIDADES UN SALUDO DESDE CHILE
Woow i love your wooden hinges. love love it.
My actual words while watching: "This is so cool."
make a great hinge for old looking furniture.
Thanks Matthias,
Roland
Nice video bro. I'm curious about that cool router mortise contraption. Never seen anything like it. I bet that's a real joy to use!
The ones your pop made are pretty. I have safe door hinges that are also the same, It allows the door to be removed for lock maintenance without having to move the whole safe. You could insert a shim washer on the pin to reduce friction and squeak, nylon, soda bottle, that sort of thing.
I'm glad to see you using your new pantorouter. That thing looks very cool. Have you noticed any limitations for the pantorouter?
Very interesting. I have seen hinges made out of veneer bended around dowel and a piece of plywood. I could take a picture of them if you want?
ed se lente tus trabajos mathias e aprendido mas y este arte hay que apreciarlo mucho gracias my friens
man!u are damn good at woodmaking!
Awesome!! I'd love your take on hingecrafter by incra style hinges
I'm sure I'm not the first to say this (can't be bothered to read the comments) but I loved that you used the metal pantorouter. It was cool.
Great stuff!
You are a genius!!!!
Im so glad I found your site. Thank You...
Simply a thumbs up ! ! ! Simple elegance is far superior to 'fancy store bought ' COOKIE CUTTER hardware ! Do it yourself, and you can make your own replacements ! ( Corporations are for HIDING MONEY, ) ! ;) Cheers !
Thanks ;)
Gotta give that one a go! Thanks.
Great job...as always...
La simplicité nous cache trop souvent les plus belles choses !
I use wax on nearly everything that slides now, my favorite is Johnson's Paste Wax, it makes it a lot easier to apply.
as always very good to watch thank you
perfect ,great idea .thanks
Awesome video mate! Keep them coming =)
Awesome work
Matthias you're so good at this stuff it's sickening
Awesome I'm gonna start making those
very good idea
Greatings from Brasil
Cool looking hinge
I use sawdust to clean up glue all the time works like a charm.
TE AGRADEZCO DE GRAN MANERA, Matthias, por este buen trabajo. El asunto es que necesito adquirir una herramienta eléctrica como la del vídeo. BENDICIONES.
Very nice!
I need more Matthias videos! I have watched every single one of your public videos. Yes even the gyroscopic effect one.
Really? It takes about 24 hours to watch 300+ of them.
Yes sir I watched them probably last month probably right before you started the table saw build. I might have missed one or two of the marble run videos, but I seriously watched (pretty much) all of your videos and Mr. Ramsey's. I recently got a table saw and then found out I have a "Woodcraft" store here in Tulsa and went on a woodworking video binge.
x9x9x9x9x9 You can actually just go to alcoholics anonymous and replace "alcoholic" with "woodworking aspirant" and it works quite well.
Matthias's videos are like clamps. You never have enough.
I don't have the tools or money yet :-(
excellent
O I love your tools .
Hmm never knew about those hinges, I think I need to test that if I find any old furniture around.
Nice, thanks for sharing!
Once again. Thank you .
>bothers to make nice hinges
>sticks it on an OSB box
FFS.
Although I kinda agree on the drilling with impact. Inexplicably, it seems like cordless drills have crap max RPM and the drivers will typically sit around 3000.
Mattias Wandel, the only person that uses a impact driver for drilling and a drill for driving screws, lol
I was thinking the exact same thing Haha!
You are awesome
Chris Millar Yup came down to the comments thinking just this
whenever i see ppl putting wood glue in unmarked containers i feel the need to swap it out for mayonnaise, sit back and watch it all unfold.
You must be fun at parties
good very very good thanks
دائما أنت رائع وأكثر من رائع . thank you
Hey man, you are so clever!!!!!
I like the squeaky hinges. There is a British comedy ( Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin)
where they market squeaky hinges as a anti burglar device.
Love it good work
That's beautiful
Praise the lord! Facebook brought this video back up on my feed again! I had forgot who I saw making these inches and wanted to find it again!
Looks like the new panta-router is working out just fine.
awesome stuff
perhaps it would have been a better idea to have the dowel on the door half of the hinge. Now when the door is off, the dowel is exposed and might be damaged while trying to put something in the cabinet.
It seems to me that it would have been easier to replace a broken part on the door, than to try and get that mortised joint apart to replace the lower portion of the hinge.
Excelente aporte. Saludos cordiales
HEY this is very cool, I haven't thought of making them, WELLDONE
great idea
