Matthias, as an engineer, I love watching you build these tools. Your problem solving skills are unmatched. Great work as always!
Matthias thank you for making entertaining and informative videos week after week. You're a rock star!
I'm building either of your sander designs.. haven't made up my mind which though.
+Paulo De Oliveira You need BOTH lol.
I used to watch a show when I was a child. It was titled "Watch Mr. Wizard" the host's name was Don Herbert and it aired from 1951 until 1965. His show got me interested in science and engineering. His show never failed to entertain and inform. I'm retired now but that show prompted me into my career. I never would have imagined that. LOLMatthias, you are a modern day Mr. Wizard and I sincerely mean that and appreciate your work. Thank you so much! Best regards...
I know nothing about woodworking besides a shop class I took in college a few years ago, but I can watch you work all day long. It's so soothing.
I love someone that HAS A BRAIN and uses it. My hats off to you.
I have managed to get a whole section of cycle inner tube over a similarly sized piece of wood. The secret is to roll it on. Didn't use any kind of helper like talcum powder or water. Just rolled it in to a rough toroid and then stretched it over the wheel.
I've also seen a guy here on YT do a similar thing but with an old idler (metal, so harder). He made a cone piece that went on one end of the idler and then once again rolled it over. That's where i got my idea.
That is a cool idea!
Essentially an open ended condom roll?
Not sure this kind of ribbing will be for her pleasure tho
You are a shining example of someone who has experience doing stuff. Whenever I try to woodwork, it takes me hours and hours to think about everything that I'm doing and what each step will consist of. I can't wait until I have the experience to just know these things.
I believe that witnessing your ability to create and problem solve can indeed have therapeutic effects.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever laid my eyes on.
@@Bob.Jenkins exactly
To get the innertube on the pulley you can use the trick they use for cricket bat handles. Just put a plastic shopping bag inside the rubber then pull the bag over the pulley. It will drag the rubber over the wood. When it is in position you can roll back the rubber and slice through the plastic with a razor blade. Maybe look for a video on how to put a cricket bat handle on and that will explain it.

My Father started teaching me woodworking when I was 3 years old. I'm 30 now, and woodworking (and engineering) have been important parts of my life.
I learned so much watching your video, I am absolutely in awe. Thank you so much, not just for a brilliant documentation of an excellent project, but to opening my eyes as to how much there is in the woodworking world that I still have to open my eyes to.
I look forward to putting the lessons I learned from your video into practice very soon!

I can't get enough of this guy's videos, amazing fabricator. When tracking is right it usually goes bad when the wood is pressed to the paper but this seemed to keep tracking well.
haven't started watching it yet, but I know already it's going to be good.
You know I really think that the tools you make are works of art. I think you should consider opening an exhibit.
I Vote for a dedicated 'Wandel' Channel that broadcasts all the time! Great build Mattias
I just finished making mine! Awesome build. I loved every minute of it. The plans are excellent, highly recommended.
That silicone idea was excellent! Good thinking!
I'm even more impressed he didn't get any on him.
john heisz did it first on his sawmill build
where i come from he'd be burnt as a witch !
wow peter Brown

Another awesome homemade machine, with a few fine tunenings it should work really well!
Mathias, you are nothing short of Amazing. I could watch 24hours of you and David Suzuki docs, and never get tired. Thanks for inspiring me to do better on my projects.
why are people dis liking he is just sharing his ideas with TH-cam deserve positive feed back
If you find a throwaway treadmill, the surface underneat the running belt is supper slipperz and would make an ideal underlay for the sanding belt.
Great project, very nice execution.
Hadn't thought of that. Just saw one on the curb yesterday and didn't pike it up (the motors in them are useless)
+Matthias Wandel can you make a GIANT sander from a treadmill?
Thats what me and my dad are building, a big belt sander from treadmill parts, its even going to be variable speed
A lot of people convert benchtop and small metal lathes and milling machines to use treadmill motors. They keep all the variable speed electronics and they reportedly work quite well.
i think John Heisz's disc sander uses a treadmill motor
this is really cool, I was wondering if plastic dip spray could work for the rubber part.

Wish I would have seen this a couple weeks ago. Building my own sander right now and reinventing the wheel. Now I can copy your ideas and not have to think so hard! Thanks for building this, taking such great videos, and posting it.
Genius. I would have never created such a great design in a million years! Love your channel!
Bravo complimenti sei un bravo Artigiano : - )
Matthias, love your channel and love your projects. I'm curious why you tackle the big challenge of making your own power tools. Is it because you enjoy the engineering challenge? Are you hoping to get better performance out of your home made tools? Or is it to save money?
You're a big inspiration and I always love to see what you come up with. Cheers!
You forgot one option: for youtube views.
i rather watch a woodworker build his own powertools than a boring cupboard
Well i am currently building his bandsaw, and it is much cheaper then buying one.
It has a resaw capacity of almost 30 cm and i will use a 1,5 kw motor.
A machine with those specs will cost around 1300-1500 € here in germany, but the wooden design is around 300 €.
I take TH-cam views as a given. Anybody who puts any project up on TH-cam would like people to watch it.
Marked One
Sounds like a nice project.
Matthias ,you are crazy! I´ve seen so many videos of yours and I just love every project you improve!!! Thanks for sharing .
Matthias I am glad to see you again. You always have such great ideas. Keep up your good work.
noooooo! it's not enough for this week :(
Mmmm sketchup. I love it on french fries.
In Australia, we call sketchup skomato sauce.
ew, everyone knows it's all about the bleu preeze.
also nice on pasta like skapetti with vegeskables, skroomies and parmeskan cheeze.
You are a bit of a mechanical genius. I have been a woodworker for many decades and am impressed at your ingenuity. I can't see how anyone would have given this video a thumbs down. They must be very jealous. Thanks for your contributions. Very professionally done.
Dominic
you sound like a very kind and gentle man. hope every thing goes well for you!
There is a difference between a shaft and an axle. An axle only has a vertical load , a shaft has torque forces on it (it's driven).
you may be a shaft :)
+The Flying Woodsman are you giving people the shaft again?
"a shaft has torque forces on it (it's driven)"
So what do you call an idler shaft?
Also, wouldn't your definitions mean that my rear wheel drive car doesn't have a rear axle, but rather a rear shaft?
In the interest of pedantry....
"...my rear wheel drive car doesn't have a rear axle, but rather a rear shaft?"
Correct, although they're more commonly known as a pair of half shafts...
KarlBunker
an idler shaft is a limp dick
At 0:59 If only you had a belt sander...
Wow! I was looking for a belt sander and never thought about building one! You got some good skills and techniques there!!
great stuff Matthias. Thank you for being such a creative inventor!
Am i the only one that re-watches these videos as ASMR at 3am
The Best
The table saw method at 1:38 was brilliant! Never seen that technique before. Thanks for the video and the tip!
you are a Master Maker and I reserve that title for very very few.
Personally i would go for liquid rubber. I dont trust silicone for that kind of application. Maybe now, 9 months later you can tell us if the silicone is still working ?
No issues with it.
intresting.
@@matthiaswandel what about now?
How much time went into the design and build of this one?
I think it's about 13 minutes and 29 seconds
I think he comes up with the plans etc pretty quick somehow..his brain isnt wired like the rest of us...seems to come naturally to him...i wish :(
+AsianLovePotato thats the video length.... the true build time has to more. not to forget that he also aked about design which isnt in this video.... you troll
+Anas Malas I do aware of all that. I Apologized for having a little bit humour. I guess not everyone can understand sarcasm.
AsianLovePotato oh.. I do normally detect humor without fault.. But well... It had been 17 hours without food or drink when I wrote that reply (fasting) :P
Awesome build! I learned a lot. Loved the cooking spit idea over the table saw blade! Someone used their drill press as a kind of wood milling machine by locking the drill chuck in the lowered position. I can see how that could be dangerous but you always have to use your brain around power tools of any type. I'm a big fan of using a tool for any purpose to get the job done as long as it's a controlled situation and won't hurt yourself. Thank you very much!
If we had such stuff in the wood work I'd be forever thankful
With the belt sander on the floor like that, I thought you were gonna do a flying leap strength test :D
Belt runner.
It's 'ass'erta

Not enough green paint.
That's a really nice belt sander, Matthias. The views showed the construction very well, too.
I called Ripley's Believe It Or Not and told them somebody in Canada put silicone from a tube on a wooden cylinder and didn't get any on his hands. They said they don't believe it has ever happened.
Love all the adjustments and workarounds when things dont work as first planned....
Excellent video as usual...
Those shoes at the very end
I have some of those, very comfy.
Those be moccasins.
I'm wearing mine right now
One of the great things about being your own boss. Foot freedom! (especially the toes)
He's a very practical person.
he sure does like shims
I just love the silicone idea. That seemed to work extremely well
Fascinating to watch you build these. You make it look so easy.
He says the word here 137 times in the vid
rigth heeeeere
Goatse has ruined me.
I thought I might have been the only one that noticed..
Amazing, as usual. And I couldn't help but notice the Izzy-type method of creating a wood cylinder with a table saw or circular saw.
wow the over table saw thing is so cool! I want to try that now! thanks so much for sharing.
you're absolutely insane, i can't believe the projects you can tackle and with so much success. very nice once again.
Great project and you make it look so easy even though we all know it’s not. I like how you explain each parts function as you go.
It was a pleasure to watch it. Thank you, Mat!
New machine building video on my birthday! Thanks Matthias!
I can not find the words to express the perfection of all projects....
thank you very much
this is awesome ive been meaning to build a belt sander for a while i guess it'll just have to go at the bottom of the list. thanks for the video i always enjoy them
Dude. Normally I dont comment to much. But your awsome. Especially with wood.
Good job
I dont know why, but at first I didn't sub to your channel, and wasnt fond of your videos. but know I really love them because your do everything you say your going to do, and go about the task in a very thoughtful manner!
Matthias, this is amazing! I really admire your talent and appreciate all the time and hard work you invest here to produce these awesome machines and videos.
Just as a side note, I did not have much luck with silicone as it tends to peel away very quickly from wood, especially if there is a lot of dust involved. I'd be interested to see how it holds up for you in a few months.
Wishing you all the best! Greetings from Hungary!
I'm glad you make these videos. Recent I got an antique Lull forklift running for a fellow and he paid me with cases or the whole back of my work van full of 3M sandpaper. About 3cases are a funky old size belt. My oldest son suggest building a sander as you have and use these belts up. Years ago I had a hand held sander that ran this odd size but it's been gone forever ago. You take time to make a great and fun to follow video build and it helps a lot of us visual workers. Some things you do that works I'll think of another way to do it. But when I build my own projects without any plans I always find better ways to have made something. But I personally learn a lot from your videos. Keep on Keeping on
You never cease to amaze me Matthias!
Developing a TH-cam channel with nearly a million subscribers? *Countless hours of labor.* Earning the right to work at home in your Minnetonka moccasins? *Priceless.*
It is a real pleasure to see you at work bringing intelligent solutions for DIY problems. You are a genius.
I've been watching your videos and you are a diy hero. You are crazy enough to try anything and smart enough to build anything.
Table saw turning - I love it!
Genius as always! I'm totally impressed!
I love all of the things you just build from scratch.
You are way too clever!!! Total enjoyment to watch your work. I particularly like to see when you make a mistake and then show the correction. Super cool!
I can see you put alot of thought into this. Great build!
Matthias Wandel, I've watched several of your videos, haven't seen them all. Trying to when I get time.Your a smart fellow. Lead on!!!
I never have any idea what your doing in your videos but i always find them really interesting
You are a nice knowledgeable teacher who taught me woodworking ❤️!
Million thanks from India ❤️❤️
You are a genius as usual, Matthias! I have a Mastercraft 4" x 36" belt sand. Not much of a complaint but 6" wide could be so much better. Thanks for sharing.
Great build as always, Matthias!
Nice build and video (it goes together so fast after you edit in post) I've always wanted 3 of these with varying sandpaper grits. Tada you've made it economical.
Hello Matthias, I am following every one of your videos, You do a great and important job, I am very grateful, greetings and hugs from Bogota-Colombia
Another bit of great inspiration from the mad scientist engineer of TH-cam woodworking ! Thanks for reminding the rest of us how lame and lazy we actually are lol. Have a great weekend - weather gonna be spectacular here and also in your neck of the woods so head outside !
OMG man I see you do this stuff and I'm still amazed. good job
Matthias Beautiful work ... congratulations! and thanks for sharing.
Mathias - GREAT - Just what I needed today here in Namibia, where so very little stuff (& expensive machines are available from afar) - thanks. You've' made my hobby-day on leisure so MUCH better! Continue like this & somebody should give you n awesome prize - soon!
That was crazy. I might make one myself, I need a belt sander!
What do you do, man. I swear you are an artist and you deserve the Nobel Prize terrible
Witam i pozdrawiam!!Bardzo pomyslowo wykonana szlifierka tasmowa domowym sposobem,duzo pracy i cierpliwosci trzeba wlozyc zeby narzedzie chodzilo,duza wiedza,ciekawy pomysl!!Majstersztyk!!Prima!!Tak Trzymac!!Dobry materral filmowy!!
thats beautifull. your videos are better than most "on line courses" out there
Congrats,very careful and beautiful work you did.Good aftermatch!
This video inspired me to learn how to work with wood.
love your videos Matthias! they are a great inspiration to me
Very nice video with the 1 to 1 scale drawing.
Excellent! It beats me how you keep incredibly clean and your workshop so tidy. Please do not even think about the state of mine (or me) after a session...
I envy you your engineering ability. That drawing you made is way beyond my knowledge. You need to do a video on how you made just the drawing. Thanks for putting this video together.
Your work is very neat and accurate. I like! You showed a new use of a rubber camera from a motorcycle. Thanks for sharing this video!
Very cleaver as always! I am constantly amazed and entertained with your ingenuity!
Great job once again Matthias.
Awesome work as usual Mr. Wander. You make incredible innovation almost routine.
