+apinakapinastorba worked for me when, when i wouldn't go to sleep they would put me in one of those baby carry things and put me on top of the huge speakers we had then play AC/DC and i would go straight top sleep
My first child, a daughter, was born around the same time as your baby! So I am absolutely LOVING baby woodworking related videos! Thank you so much! My wife enjoyed it as well, as we do all of your videos!
+Stragemque I sleep like a baby when i have a noisy fan turned on in my room. A constant noise can be quite relaxing, that's why some people find the sound of rain or white noise soothing. But fans are better, they at least blow wind at you which makes you never want to leave your bed again. #Kappa
9 ปีที่แล้ว +8
+LordDragox412 Me too. I find the noise of a moderately noisy fan to be very relaxing. I rest much better if it runs while I sleep.
+Krešimir Cindrić There are lots of long run videos on YT. I like; rain, wind, ocean sounds, train sounds, and rural night sounds such as frogs, and crickets.
+Stragemque it's actually good if you can get your baby to sleep through something like an active gathering of people like a diner. people who walk on eggshells around sleeping babies are just setting themselves for more of the same.
The sound of the motor will help keep the baby calm as well. She just came from an environment that was noisy. Heart beating, blood pumping, digestive sounds. The sound as well as the motion, which she is used to as well, will really help her transition to her new world. Great job. I am often amazed at your ingenuity.
+Maurizio Malavolta Earthquakes can be quite relaxing. I mean, why else would people sit on those "massaging" chairs that shake all over the place? #Kappa
+Chris Hall Wouldn't the legal system be willing to make an exception for me. I'm male. I guess that is a sensible argument to get what I want. If not I'm going to make even more drama.
Matthias, I don't know what it is about your videos but I love them. I don't work with wood, or anything of that nature so I'm not really sure why I watch them. I guess I just like watching you build stuff and I appreciate your videos.
Well Mathias now your skills are really going to be put to the test with the new bubs as she grows and goes thru the many stages of her and your life. I wish you all the best and Rachel too cheers
You make me feel bad that I am a grandfather and can't nail 2 sticks together. You have exceptional talent and brains to match. You are a pleasure to watch performing your passion.
First, congratulations on your first child! I'm excited to see how you are using your know-how to solve your new challenges as a father. As always, Lord bless you and yours.
Seriously amazing. Matthias's brain knows no bounds. Following this channel is so good because you never know what Matthias will come up with next but you can guarantee it will be great, made of wood and with NO POCKET HOLES!!! Well done mate.Mrs Swagman says beautiful baby, a goddess in training and I'm sure we all agree.
Mathias you would make an EXCELLENT machinist. Have you ever thought about getting into metal working? The initial investment is quite large (A few thousand dollars for a milling machine, lathe and tooling), but I think you would be capable of making some pretty incredible things! (Not that you don't already make incredible things!)
+Matthias Wandel depending on the material youre cutting and the cutters youre using. most can cut through softer aluminums like butter. and you can always use a cnc machine then you dont have to do any of the work!
There's a specific rhythm that babies need to get them to go off to sleep. And you totally nailed it! You're awesome! I wish I had this for each of my three kids at that age!
McGuyver has NOTHING on you! Genius... and I really appreciate the editing so the video doesn't needlessly drag on... Icing on the cake is that you didn't beg for likes or subs... so of course I gave you both, well done :)
I found that infants are soothed by a humming or droning sound, and at surprising volume - much louder than your current fab, so if you have to rebuild any of it, be assured that it doesn't have to be whisper-quiet. Also was amazed to realize that a rhythmic clack (about once a revolution in your slow setting), and an associated bump helped to lull them during particularly difficult times, such as teething. (Sadly, didn't seem to help much during bouts of colic.) Thanks for sharing; best wishes to the family.
What a lovely daughter Mathias, could not help but to mention You covered that flat belt pully on the band saw build but that was several years ago.lol, do another thou,always love a Your vids,congrats again on the Baby Girl
lmao....the things people do to get a good night sleep. I could have used this idea 7-8 yrs ago. When you come up with a device to get kids to do their chores please post that as well. Congratulation on the baby and love your work Matthias :-)
I can see a whole new line of plans since you two had a baby. Baby feeder, baby changer, self cleaning wooden diapers, wooden toys. I am sure a crib has already been made from recycled furniture. I can't wait for the next video.
wow great job. I was thinking of trying to remote control my baby's stroller while I walked him around my house for hours and hours but time flies by and now hes 4 :)
This is just marvelous in all aspects. The choice of the materials, the different motors, the thinking about it and ... .don't forget the rocking bed. (Sorry - English is not my native language)
Congratulations M,I haven't checked your vids for a while, still looking great as ever. Nice project, years ago my babies were both severe colics, so rocking was in order, I could have used one of these!
I used two lego mindstorm motors to push the trolley back and forth. However, my wife never allowed me to use it as it was too loud :-) I love your setup. Just the rockers itself are ingenious and I should have thought of it myself back at the time.
Mathias, I have found you can quiet almost anything down if you isolate every point where two hard surfaces touch. I used old mouse pads and tool drawer rubber liner, which seems to work well enough for my purposes. Great idea though. repurposing the drill gear box.
+donald laisure (73SuperGlide62) I think Matthias and Rachel put it together themselves. Not sure if scratch-built or kit-bashed, but definitely a collaborative project.
Haha, nice project! Actually, my aunt's husband made a similar solution to my cousins bed. But later when my cousin and sister slept in a bunk bed togheter, he slept upstairs and she below. She woke up, she was really seasick because he was rocking from side to side all night. So be careful with using it to much. Thanks for a great channel btw, always fun projects :)
Thanks for the video! A thought for future revisions / projects: What you have done here is create the mechanism contained in an auto windshield wiper motor. You can buy one from an auto junkyard for about $10.
Nothing like a baby swaddled in a cardboard box. The all new "programmable" auto-rocker with 24-piece cam set and 2-speed transmission. A design that parents and engineers alike can both appreciate.
Dear Matthias, thank you so much for your videos. They are such an inspiration and full of ingenuity and theoretical concepts made practical. You are very clever. I am referencing your videos to my university engineering students as an excellent way to give presentations for their projects. Many Thanks, please continue doing more of the same.
I really enjoy your videos Mathias, but was surprised to see you use drywall screws in everything as I've not been a fan of them except for drywall, then I watched your video on screws last week and I will be starting to use them a lot from now on, so thanks for that. Greetings from Scotland.
I look forward to your videos coming out as they usually are informative and interesting. This one is no exception. I loved the cardboard box, my daughter slept in one for a few weeks as a newborn, she is well, not a newborn anymore, nor are her kids! Keep up the good stuff coming to us, eh?
Wow. finally some useful staff. :) I bet it's not going to get as many views as marble shooter or slinky escalator. Lucky girl! She will have tons of very cool and very custom toys and things built for her. Please, create some more videos of these things!
+Craig Hartel (Nuclear Moose) I wonder if his daughter would one day share that sentiment. If you're 15 and looking for attention (we've all went through that phase), and you can't stand any of the boys you know 'cuz none of em can make a warhead-carrying rocket using a paper clip and janitorial supplies, you just might get slightly upset.
"For a while, we kept her in a cardboard box in the bassinet, which made it easier to move her around without waking her. But she soon came to hate that box so we stopped using it."
What is the baby's name? It's a joy to see your talent put to use in such a touching way. You've taught me a lot and given me a great deal of enjoyment. Thank you for sharing your gifts and family with all your fans.
Matthias, I'm really happy for you and Rachel, Harriet's a beautiful baby. I had a sudden thought though; you know how some kids have to wear hand-me-downs? For Harriet though, she'd probably have lots of recycled wood stuff :P I wouldn't consider that a bad thing though. Best wishes to you all.
if Canada is like Finland, then the hospital either gives you a box filled with essentials or some money worth the stuff in the box. it's common for parents to have the babies sleep in the box for a while.
Hush little baby, don't you fret. Papa's gonna mechanize your bassinet.
+Peter Collin And don't you cause any noisy commotion / you'll be soothed by its reciprocating motion
bravo
And if those cries and whimpers they hear, Papa's gonna throw it in second gear!
+PKMartin +1/like
+Peter Collin
Don't worry if the bassinet has big rolls
Be thankful it doesn't have any pocket holes.
Hey congratulations on the growing family! Excellent build also
I bet a stereo set and an AC/DC album would do for baby rockin'.
+apinakapinastorba That is for baby makin!
+Jonathan Mutchler lol
That too.
+apinakapinastorba worked for me when, when i wouldn't go to sleep they would put me in one of those baby carry things and put me on top of the huge speakers we had then play AC/DC and i would go straight top sleep
+apinakapinastorba Ronnie James Dio would do a lot better.
i love it how she was sort of crying a bit and then you turned on the machine and POOF GONE
+xZYTECx Unfortunately, it doesn't always work this well!
+Matthias Wandel Babies are so variable that engineering them is a challenge.
+Matthias Wandel
who is little man? This mini Matt? Congrat dear! Awesome
+Alex Tango It's Harriet. He introduces her to us in the recent Q&A video.
My first child, a daughter, was born around the same time as your baby! So I am absolutely LOVING baby woodworking related videos! Thank you so much! My wife enjoyed it as well, as we do all of your videos!
the baby will sleep to the quiet humming of a motor

What a sweet baby. I can only imagine what wonderful toys and gadgets their life will be filled with. So lucky to have a Dad like you. Congrats.
The sound of the motor will help keep the baby calm as well. She just came from an environment that was noisy. Heart beating, blood pumping, digestive sounds. The sound as well as the motion, which she is used to as well, will really help her transition to her new world. Great job. I am often amazed at your ingenuity.
Electric bassinet with a 2 speed manual gear box , this baby is officially the coolest on the block . Congrats man.
hahaha! I love the emergency mode!
I assumed there would be a baby project soon since one small person changes everything in a home. Congratulations to you and Rachel.
Producing more complicated motion patterns is how you got the baby in the first place! :)
This is just fantastic and the last part is hilarious.
When a baby is in need for EXTREME SOOTHING!
+Maurizio Malavolta I think Matthias will build her own roller coaster when she's 6 or so. Of course with the least possible amount of metal.
+Maurizio Malavolta Earthquakes can be quite relaxing. I mean, why else would people sit on those "massaging" chairs that shake all over the place? #Kappa
+SE45CX Just be careful not to build a baby "walker" as that can actually land you in jail in Canada.
+Chris Hall Wouldn't the legal system be willing to make an exception for me. I'm male. I guess that is a sensible argument to get what I want. If not I'm going to make even more drama.
+SE45CX You should be able to get that ;-) in the comment above!
man that baby looks so much like you.
There is a lifetime of interesting projects to be built FOR and WITH that child.
I swear wood workers and machinists make the best parents, they never are out of ideas to help raise children and entertain them.
Matthias, I don't know what it is about your videos but I love them. I don't work with wood, or anything of that nature so I'm not really sure why I watch them. I guess I just like watching you build stuff and I appreciate your videos.
Congratulations on the new addition Matthias. Everyone here envies her opportunity to learn from you as she grows up.
I like the way you contain baby within a cardboard sub-bassinet to preclude nocturnal baby migration..
+Geoff Brown Wow, impressive english mister!
thanks, its my home language ;)
+Geoff Brown That is put in there so that they can mail the kid to relatives for the week end.
this is the first time I've heard you had a baby, congratulations Mathias!
Well Mathias now your skills are really going to be put to the test with the new bubs as she grows and goes thru the many stages of her and your life. I wish you all the best and Rachel too cheers

+MattsMotorz Metalwork is far too slow.
+Matthias Wandel Ever thought about 3d printing for really small objects?
+Matthias Wandel depending on the material youre cutting and the cutters youre using. most can cut through softer aluminums like butter. and you can always use a cnc machine then you dont have to do any of the work!
+KurtleTheTurtle But that makes it boring!
I would like to see him do some metal work
There's a specific rhythm that babies need to get them to go off to sleep. And you totally nailed it! You're awesome! I wish I had this for each of my three kids at that age!
you never seize to amaze.! not only is she just too adorable but lucky to have a father like you. and mom.
WOW! What a treat to be your kid. Between the motor unit and those clever rocker attachments what a wonderful way to grow up...
Puts a smile on my face seeing that the baby will grow up with the sound of self-build machines :)
I am a proud Dad of 3 and we used a thing called a rocking chair and actually held them. Some of the happiest days of my life.
I, for one, would pay good money to ride that bassinet in high speed....you both are wonderful parents! Much love.
Love seeing you projects come together and your wood craftsmanship is something I strive to attain!
Matthias congratulations on the recent addition to your family. I love all the wonderful ideas and videos. Keep up the good work.
Wow well done! Baby totally loved it. I think the little bit of background noise that it provides is probably soothing as well.
Years from now, you will show this video to your child, and she will realize how much she is loved.
McGuyver has NOTHING on you! Genius... and I really appreciate the editing so the video doesn't needlessly drag on... Icing on the cake is that you didn't beg for likes or subs... so of course I gave you both, well done :)
My wife said he must of been in charge of rocking 1 time. Nothing wrong with mechanical advantage. Great job, baby and rocking device.
Such a fun build! Bonus feature. The motor is like white noise for the baby! :)
Your limitless imagination and intuitive way of doing things never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the great work and great videos!
Congratulations on having a baby! She's beautiful!
When you say things like "from an old 8 track player" you remind me why I subscribed.
I found that infants are soothed by a humming or droning sound, and at surprising volume - much louder than your current fab, so if you have to rebuild any of it, be assured that it doesn't have to be whisper-quiet.
Also was amazed to realize that a rhythmic clack (about once a revolution in your slow setting), and an associated bump helped to lull them during particularly difficult times, such as teething. (Sadly, didn't seem to help much during bouts of colic.)
Thanks for sharing; best wishes to the family.
Impressive build Matthias. Now if you and Cremona get together.... you would produce inspiring products. Stuff for babies is a great place to start.
What a lovely daughter Mathias, could not help but to mention You covered that flat belt pully on the band saw build but that was several years ago.lol, do another thou,always love a Your vids,congrats again on the Baby Girl
fantastic matt , this is wood working at its peak , practical , and
you are a good dad ,
Great Dad! Thanks for taking time out to make a wonderful program.
I cannot tell you how much money i spent on batteries for our rocker when my twin girls were babies..so many sleepless nights..great idea!
Congratulations on becomng a father, Matthias! And as a new grandfather, I will definately be stealing this idea for my new grandbaby!
lmao....the things people do to get a good night sleep. I could have used this idea 7-8 yrs ago. When you come up with a device to get kids to do their chores please post that as well. Congratulation on the baby and love your work Matthias :-)
I'm not surprised to see the baby is in a box!
I can see a whole new line of plans since you two had a baby. Baby feeder, baby changer, self cleaning wooden diapers, wooden toys. I am sure a crib has already been made from recycled furniture. I can't wait for the next video.
The way you index the casters to the rockers is lovely. But is the baby enjoying the ride?
You made a life saver for every woodworker dad in the world
Hey, this project is viewed on Core77! congrats! having my third child on the way, I felt so related to this project :)
+krnxemb That's cool. They'd actually approached me about making videos just for them, but I don't have time to make even more videos.
wow great job. I was thinking of trying to remote control my baby's stroller while I walked him around my house for hours and hours but time flies by and now hes 4 :)
Awesome idea, now i just gotta convince my wife to let me attach a motor to the bassinet, keep up the good work Matthias
This is just marvelous in all aspects. The choice of the materials, the different motors, the thinking about it and ... .don't forget the rocking bed. (Sorry - English is not my native language)
Matthias I enjoy all your projects. You're pretty witty

were did u find the baby
+donald laisure (73SuperGlide62) He made that, too.
+donald laisure (73SuperGlide62) I think Matthias and Rachel put it together themselves. Not sure if scratch-built or kit-bashed, but definitely a collaborative project.
+donald laisure (73SuperGlide62) Found it at a yard sale perhaps.
Super glue garage sale
But pretty sure no CAD was used in this process.
I'll have to build something like this for my next baby. Congratulations on your new family member!
Haha, nice project! Actually, my aunt's husband made a similar solution to my cousins bed. But later when my cousin and sister slept in a bunk bed togheter, he slept upstairs and she below. She woke up, she was really seasick because he was rocking from side to side all night. So be careful with using it to much. Thanks for a great channel btw, always fun projects :)
awesome modifications, Matthias. congrats on the baby btw!

You always build some of the neatest things. Congratulations on the baby..
If you had one, you could use an old windshield wiper motor which does the rocking motion itself and is super quite as well.
Nicely done Mattias. I took the easy way out and just wired a power supply to a battery operated swing.
Dear Matthias, thank you so much for your videos. They are such an inspiration and full of ingenuity and theoretical concepts made practical. You are very clever. I am referencing your videos to my university engineering students as an excellent way to give presentations for their projects. Many Thanks, please continue doing more of the same.
first and foremost.. congratulations on the newest wood artist on the block..
and that is a rocking idea....
Should have made that 8 years ago😳 Nice rocking Matthias👍 Wounder what rig Izzy is going to make😱
I really enjoy your videos Mathias, but was surprised to see you use drywall screws in everything as I've not been a fan of them except for drywall, then I watched your video on screws last week and I will be starting to use them a lot from now on, so thanks for that. Greetings from Scotland.
Omg, I laughed so hard at the end when you put the highest speed. You'r the boss Matthias
I'm very glad you added a fan to that motor.. I've had one of the old ones (before thermal fuses) just about catch fire!
Congrats on the new addition!!! Also another great project, Thanks!!
Are you going to do a build video of the baby?
Lolita's Garden I don't think that'd be quite suitable for TH-cam
Onlyfans didn't exist 6 years ago
You are a wood wizard! I always enjoy your presentations and wry sense of humor.
This is awesome.
Was nice to hear the thought process during the build.
I look forward to your videos coming out as they usually are informative and interesting. This one is no exception. I loved the cardboard box, my daughter slept in one for a few weeks as a newborn, she is well, not a newborn anymore, nor are her kids! Keep up the good stuff coming to us, eh?
Beautiful baby. A little bit afraid of the wires under the baby bed. Anyway, it works! You are a genius. Saludos desde Argentina.
Wow. finally some useful staff. :) I bet it's not going to get as many views as marble shooter or slinky escalator. Lucky girl! She will have tons of very cool and very custom toys and things built for her. Please, create some more videos of these things!
Super congrats on the baby ;) Safe to assume we'll be seeing a lot more baby inspired builds/projects.
Very cool Matthias!! You must have a huge box of motors to use!!
Happy Napping!! W.
I envy your baby, Mattias. She will be a full-blown Maker by the time she hits kindergarten!
+Craig Hartel (Nuclear Moose) I wonder if his daughter would one day share that sentiment.

You are so amazingly ingenius ! Can't wait for the series of wooden toys you are surely going to build for your child..
I'm think high mode may be a little to harsh! great video as always, very entertaining and informative.
Congrats on the new baby!
Pure greatness right there! I always enjoy when you share your thought process, and the troubleshooting.
-Steven
what's the cardboard box for? making the sleeping are a little smaller?
+Everfalling Answer in the linked article.
"For a while, we kept her in a cardboard box in the bassinet, which made it easier to move her around without waking her. But she soon came to hate that box so we stopped using it."
Fantastic! Congrats on being a father...best job in the world

I wouldn't consider that a bad thing though. Best wishes to you all.
Brilliant idea and execution as expected. Well done Matthias and thanks for all the great videos.
Its going to be fun watching this kid grow up. We need to start a pool on when the kid's first woodshop project video will appear.
Two speed bassinet, soothing and earthquake mode. lol.
You have the brain power to take over the world. You make the smartest videos online!
Awesome video and that baby is just too cute. Baby's going to be a genius just like mom and dad. Thanks for the great video!
Very good use of spare parts/time. Something that does the same thing goes for about $200.
did you have the baby in a cardboard box inside the bassinet????
+Scott Cable HAHAHAHA
if Canada is like Finland, then the hospital either gives you a box filled with essentials or some money worth the stuff in the box. it's common for parents to have the babies sleep in the box for a while.
+Scott Cable That was hilarious!
