New to the channel, liked and subscribed. I love this idea the overall size almost matches industrial planer sizes and it wouldn't be too difficult to change it to do that. My real suggestion for your machine would be to build legs on it and build a sheet steel hopper underneath that leads to a garbage can. If you need it to push the shavings into the garbage can install a rumble motor on the hopper that activates when the router hits certain points of the process. Then you end up with pure clean large shavings useful for mulch or smoker.
Hey Marius, file for a Trademark for this phrase, immediately! If it is available, you will have a Classic, memorable identifying "mark"/label/identity/"brand". I'm afraid you will be tempted to enter into the income channel of "merch" - merchandise: T-shirts, safety goggles, objects barely related to design/engineering - key-chains, hats, visors, low-quality screw-drivers/nut-drivers which can all be imprinted and sold by your growing number of fans! 8-D
Not sure if it would work with this setup since the router slide would probably just start lifting instead of showing big power variations. Maybe measuring the vibrations on slide using a piezo sensor?
It´s just jaw dropping how much allround skill you have with designing, engeneering and programming... and filming. And editing! Such a cool video. Must have been a ton of work. Thanks for sharing!
@@MariusHornbergervery entertaining! Well done on everything, the machine is awesome, the tables look beautiful, and the video was a fun watch! Sub'd! 👏👏👏
I am astonished at how comprehensive this work is - right up to testing the air quality with reverse sticky tape. This is next level "thinking outside of the box" stuff. Speed of editing/presentation means there's nothing boring, and the humour is spot-on too. Honestly one of my favourite channels.
Sticky tape isn't going to show you the most harmful micro particulates that are actually the most dangerous for your lungs and nasal passages. He should purchase an actual air quality testing meter.
First time I’ve seen somebody talk through the lathe operations with callouts to the mechanical drawing- what a wonderful value-add to those unfamiliar with the process (like myself)!
@@MariusHornberger Here's a software upgrade you can try: 1. For each run, have the router ping-pong back and forth a few times--while the main motor is off--so the Arduino knows how long it takes for the router to travel to the end stop and back. 2. Based on the width of the milling head and the calculated time, the speed of the main motor can be set so that it continuously moves the carriage along such that each time the router hits the home end stop, it has advanced (almost) the width of the milling head for the initial passes and (almost) 1/2 the width for the final ones. This slanting path will not only result in smoother movement of the carriage, but, for the last passes, each part of the board will be passed over twice, at two different angles, which should make for an even smoother surface. Does that sound reasonable?
@@KeithOlson Regarding the slant: The Fusion 360 "Pocket" tool path can do this already which doesn't really result in a smoother surface, however, depending on the material, it may help hide tool marks better.
@@MegaDada1995 "... it may help hide tool marks better." That's what I was mainly thinking. (...and a drum-sander head to get everything shiny-smooth would also be pretty cool.)
You are a true polymath...I am not sure if people can grasp the amount of knowledge you have, the ability to combine them in just a single project, and last but not least the amount of time invested to acquire it at such a young age. Your parents must be really proud.
There's not really anything such as a false polymath. A polymath is simply defined as a person who has mastered more than one field of work. What you may be referring to, are multipotentialites, who are also the only people who have any chance at ever becoming polymaths, since one must first develop multiple potentials before being able to master multiple fields.
@@ArterexiusI didn't learn anything particularly useful in your comment. Most seasoned readers understand the term polymath and the history behind its origins.

Hi Marius, I just have to write to tell you how fascinated I am in your ingenuity. The problems you solve, seemingly on the fly?, is just so impressive. You might investigate using optics for your encoders but wholly cow is this just an awesome video mixing wood working, robotics, electronics & automation in a project that solves real problem. I honestly believe if you ever started your own tool (or whatever) company, you'd be a force to be reckon with. Your name & videos, for me, are associated with extreme high quality & engineering. Prost von einem Bewunderer in den USA.
Just a small fyi: if you have trouble removing stickers (especially from surfaces which are sensible to paint thinner/rubbing alcohol) add a small amount of oil (normal sunflower seed oil, olive oil or whatever you have at hand) and rub the sticker until the oil starts to seep into the sticker. Depending on the glue used either wipe it off or give it 5 to 10 minutes to soak, then wipe it off. The sticker and glue should come off cleanly. Afterwards just use soapy water to clean off the rest.
Alter Schwede, Marius - du bist noch so jung und hast schon soviel auf dem Kasten, meinen allergrößten Respekt. Ich denke mal da wird wohl auch mind. ein Maschinenbau Studium im Skill-Tree sein. Dank so pfiffigen jungen Leuten wie dir glaube ich, dass die Jugend noch nicht ganz verloren ist. Klasse 👏
Dude, you gone long way. From "the child with a saw" to one of best DIY channels on TH-cam! Awesome! And - can't wait collaboration with Blacktail Studio :D
Marius, I am 69 years old and you are teaching me so many important facts on electronics and kinetics. More importantly, you are an impressive and diligent young person that is indeed a positive role model for many. Jack
Putting the diagram onscreen while you turn on the lathe is something I haven't seen before. What a great idea; it really helps to visualize the process. Bravo!
I've been watching you for years, I'm so happy for your ongoing success. You are a very inspirational speaker and exceptionally clever in your designs.
Suggestion for a new feature: Add a toggle button to switch between X-axis and Y-axis mode. Might be a little more efficient on long boards since it doesn't have to move X every few centimeter :D
Tbh with good encoders and probably more reduction on the y axis, x-y is also probably doable (i.e. move the y axis during the cut in a Z pattern, but the bottleneck is probably still mostly the speed at which you can cut with a gantry that's held together by gravity and hopes and dreams.
Marius, regarding the Arduino falsely registering electrical noise as button presses I suspect that either you didn't add a pull-down or pull-up resistor, or the values were too small. Try a 1K ohm resistor for this purpose, it should greatly remove any noise that you might encounter in your projects.
arduinos are super sensitive so you absolutely need a pullup or pulldown resistor. I usually use 10k but I agree that with that much possible interference 1k might work better
@@aaakkk112 Yeah, but to my knowledge they only have an internal pull up. I suspect that Marius wired the limit switches between VCC and the input pin, in which case a pull down resistor is needed. Also, as @PapaLurts put it, the lower values work better for noisy environments like this case, the internal values are close to 20kΩ and 50kΩ ohms which is a bit high for this case. Note: Personally I use external pull up resistors even when I enable the internal ones, does anyone agree with this? Because using external ones you can adjust the value to your specific need.
@@aaakkk112 Exactly, also reminds me of when I started using Arduinos and microcontrollers in general. I exclusively tie the push buttons to GND now, but when I started tinkering with them, I used both positive and ground signals for this. I suspect that if Marius also used GND signal, there wouldn't be a noticeable interference. Additionally, there might be a issue with bouncing but I also suspect that he might use `delay()` to deal with that.
@@aaakkk112 Internal pull-ups are generally much weaker. For the ATMEGA 328P (Arduino Uno), it's around 34k. An external pull-up with a value of a few k ohms would greatly reduce the noise.
I enjoyed how I started to get "WOW, he did this!" from the first minutes and just felt a numb face by the end of the video because all you improvements did not want to stop.
Did not know about you before. Just stumbled over this today. I am flashed away with everything. Such a detailed documentary on such a complex process. I think my beginners brain could only catch 15 % of all, but what it caught is burnt in. Thank you for showing this amazing project and journey
Sticker removal: Acetone works much better than paint thinner, but a heat gun, cricket lighter, or blowtorch will quickly soften the glue on any sticker. Hallo Marius wunderbär!
I really appreciate your design and build process and how clearly you communicate it. It makes for very informative but still interesting videos. Thanks for all the work you put in and for sharing it. It’s very much appreciated.
Love your camera work, especially around 27:00 where you are ripping and showing how the wood reacts to the release of internal tension. Just a great video. Thank you.
Unglaublich stark, Marius! Du vereinst wirklich viele Fähigkeiten in einem Projekt! Will nicht wissen, was du mit einer größeren Werkstatt zaubern würdest, aber ich bin mir sicher, dass wir das auch noch sehen werden! LG aus Hessen
Scroll Grad durch die Kommentare um zu schauen, ob es noch jemanden aufregt dass die Schutzfolie auf dem kleinen Display noch drauf war😅 Hab die Ganze Zeit drauf gewartet dass er die abmacht
For anyone who runs into the problem with unshielded wires and EMI: You don’t actually need a shielded wire for that. All you need is some small capacitor on the input side (100n - 1uf is fine) mounted between your ( in this case arduino ) input pin and ground. EMI spikes can induce big voltage spikes in the wiring, and sometimes even fry your microcontrollers, but they don’t usually carry a lot of power, so a simple capacitor can dampen them. Sorry for my english, and good luck with ur projects.
It's really cool to see the progression from a simple jig to a more complex automated tool. There is even a clear upgrade path to a full CNC router. Have you considered building a separate sled to automate the sanding part? Or would that not work? Great video as always!
This is literally, the highest quality youtube video I have ever seen. It earns a sub like and comment for that reason alone. Nevermind the fact that it is such a cool machine you built. Well done sir, well done. I wrote this comment at around 18 minutes into the video. Im editing this now that I have watched all of it. I enjoyed the last part as much as the first. crazy good.
For someone who already has skills in metal turning, woodworking, mechanical adjustments and arduino builds, this is a marvelous addition to the workshop. In fact, with a little arduino programming, it might even compete with 5 figure CNC rigs
You need an emergency stop. Or "estop". In industry they usually wire control power through a pushbutton that stays pushed in (maintained) when you smack it. This pushbutton has a normally closed contact that opens when you smack it. This shuts everything down almost instantly ( for an emergency situation). If you make a mistake or someone else who doesn't know the machine as well as the designer gets jammed up in a machine someone can estop the machine. Just a thought.
Ever since I discovered your channel, I've been catching up on all your previous videos and looking forward to your next. There are two words that, for me, define your work, inspiring and intimidating. Your ability to go from idea to design to creating with an occasional bit of correcting is truly a work of art Plus your patience and calm in the face of obstacles is nothing short of amazing. Which brings me to the second word, intimidating. You make it seem so easy as you go through the processes that many times I ask myself, could I do likewise and sadly I must answer no. While I can make small simple things, your ability is almost out of this world though your humour at the oops moments does bring it back to earth. Thank you for continuing to share.
The flatting rig is awesome, but also, you go above and beyond. The dust collection was also amazing. The well thought out controls are great too. e.g. limiting range of motion, manual control etc. very well thought out.
Here is a tip for removing sticky paper labels. Use coking oil to saturate the label, then dish soap to dissolve the oil. The glue in the label will stick on the oil and the oil will be removed by the dish soap. Works like a charm, every time.
Did some mechatronics with my workbench at home. Aluminium and wood is a good combo for strength & weight - for threads Aluminium rivets pressed into wood worked well. Nice project & informative presentation. Cheers.
You are a genius, your projects are always outstanding, the beauty in your work is that you also show your mistakes which indicates your constant improvements. Well done it’s a pleasure to watch your videos. I am very impressed, please continue.
For a first Arduino project that is advanced. Mechatronics, precision movements, electrical noise cancellation, manual mode input system, audio feedback and step down voltage conversion. Great job.
Großartig, ich hab zwar nix mit holzwerken zu tun aber deine videos sind immer eine freude zu schauen und entspannen auch, von der Großartigen ingenieursleistung ganz zu schweigen, mach weiter so👍😁
This is unbelievable! Thanks for this awesome video, I had a grin on my face many times watching! I really appreciate all the effort that goes into these videos and Im really happy you stay true to your style!
Yes that! I hate label glue, It's even worse reusing some kinds of glass drink bottles. Perrier bottle labels fall off completely in water. Colorless bottles with clear colorless labels means you need a solvent.
Easiest way to get stickers off is to heat the sticker with a hair dryer or a heat gun. It only takes a few seconds of heat to loosen the adhesive, making the sticker easy to peel off. You may need to use alcohol or mineral spirits to clean any residual adhesive off, but it’s easier than the way you did it with the sticker still attached. Hope this helps! Thanks for the video!
It is so beautiful to see projects coming together like this. Your machine will probably make you a lot of money if you keep on making nice tables and it will give you more time to do whatever you want.
Marius absolutely BRILLIANT!!! What most people say about threaded piece on the router sled, I see you are using birch plywood, well standard cheap plywood, what most people said about it being a bad design is very true, standard cheap plywood sucks it is filled with voids and the adhesion between the plys are weak. Its very very expensive to get good quality birch plywood in the US. If I was to make that sled it would have to made from some good quality birch ply that is typicall from Russia, since they have the most birch trees here in the state we are so stupid we burn in in our fireplaces.

I exclusively tie the push buttons to GND now, but when I started tinkering with them, I used both positive and ground signals for this. I suspect that if Marius also used GND signal, there wouldn't be a noticeable interference. Additionally, there might be a issue with bouncing but I also suspect that he might use `delay()` to deal with that.
Wow, fun for the fans.
👍🏻
@@aaakkk112 Internal pull-ups are generally much weaker. For the ATMEGA 328P (Arduino Uno), it's around 34k. An external pull-up with a value of a few k ohms would greatly reduce the noise.
I enjoyed how I started to get "WOW, he did this!" from the first minutes and just felt a numb face by the end of the video because all you improvements did not want to stop.
Did not know about you before. Just stumbled over this today. I am flashed away with everything. Such a detailed documentary on such a complex process. I think my beginners brain could only catch 15 % of all, but what it caught is burnt in. Thank you for showing this amazing project and journey
Sticker removal: Acetone works much better than paint thinner, but a heat gun, cricket lighter, or blowtorch will quickly soften the glue on any sticker.
Hallo Marius wunderbär!
I really appreciate your design and build process and how clearly you communicate it. It makes for very informative but still interesting videos. Thanks for all the work you put in and for sharing it. It’s very much appreciated.
Love your camera work, especially around 27:00 where you are ripping and showing how the wood reacts to the release of internal tension. Just a great video. Thank you.
Unglaublich stark, Marius! Du vereinst wirklich viele Fähigkeiten in einem Projekt! Will nicht wissen, was du mit einer größeren Werkstatt zaubern würdest, aber ich bin mir sicher, dass wir das auch noch sehen werden! LG aus Hessen
Scroll Grad durch die Kommentare um zu schauen, ob es noch jemanden aufregt dass die Schutzfolie auf dem kleinen Display noch drauf war😅
Hab die Ganze Zeit drauf gewartet dass er die abmacht
For anyone who runs into the problem with unshielded wires and EMI:
You don’t actually need a shielded wire for that.
All you need is some small capacitor on the input side (100n - 1uf is fine) mounted between your ( in this case arduino ) input pin and ground.
EMI spikes can induce big voltage spikes in the wiring, and sometimes even fry your microcontrollers, but they don’t usually carry a lot of power, so a simple capacitor can dampen them.
Sorry for my english, and good luck with ur projects.
It's really cool to see the progression from a simple jig to a more complex automated tool. There is even a clear upgrade path to a full CNC router. Have you considered building a separate sled to automate the sanding part? Or would that not work? Great video as always!
"Eventually you run out of ways to do it wrong." The words of an optimist. Extremely nice design and build.
It must feel very good to get the respect of your father.
This is literally, the highest quality youtube video I have ever seen. It earns a sub like and comment for that reason alone. Nevermind the fact that it is such a cool machine you built. Well done sir, well done. I wrote this comment at around 18 minutes into the video. Im editing this now that I have watched all of it. I enjoyed the last part as much as the first. crazy good.
I love the problem solving in this project. Mixing wooden, metal, and 3d printed parts in the best way is not easy. Good job.
For someone who already has skills in metal turning, woodworking, mechanical adjustments and arduino builds, this is a marvelous addition to the workshop. In fact, with a little arduino programming, it might even compete with 5 figure CNC rigs
I love to follow along and se how competent this young gentleman becomes over time. when i started to follow Marius he was just a kid :)
Marius the "Genius" I love it! You're videos are so entertaining and informative! Thank you young man!
Dziękujemy.
Marius, legendäres Video! Ich muss echt sagen, du bringst mich immer wieder zum Staunen! Du bist definitiv ein Vorbild für mich.
Brilliant design and video Thanks for the quality content and inspiration!
Wow!!! This not only works, but looks so good! Those gears are fly!
You need an emergency stop. Or "estop". In industry they usually wire control power through a pushbutton that stays pushed in (maintained) when you smack it. This pushbutton has a normally closed contact that opens when you smack it. This shuts everything down almost instantly ( for an emergency situation). If you make a mistake or someone else who doesn't know the machine as well as the designer gets jammed up in a machine someone can estop the machine. Just a thought.
Ever since I discovered your channel, I've been catching up on all your previous videos and looking forward to your next. There are two words that, for me, define your work, inspiring and intimidating. Your ability to go from idea to design to creating with an occasional bit of correcting is truly a work of art Plus your patience and calm in the face of obstacles is nothing short of amazing. Which brings me to the second word, intimidating. You make it seem so easy as you go through the processes that many times I ask myself, could I do likewise and sadly I must answer no. While I can make small simple things, your ability is almost out of this world though your humour at the oops moments does bring it back to earth. Thank you for continuing to share.
Marius. You are the best example of mankind evolution. Like Leonardo da Vinci in his time...absolut great!
Really great video. I have an engineering background as well but then to see you use these skills like this is refreshing.
The flatting rig is awesome, but also, you go above and beyond. The dust collection was also amazing. The well thought out controls are great too. e.g. limiting range of motion, manual control etc. very well thought out.
That was a captivating video.
You're quite the talent and I liked how you included the parts where things didn't go as planned.
A+
Outstanding project.... I learned lots of things watching this!
Congratulations! Your perseverance has really paid off. Great job 👏
I swear man, your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. This is freakin awesome!
Well done, Marius. Yours is the gold standard for DIY flattening jigs! "Eventually you run out of ways to do it wrong."
Love the machine and the slick and professional editing. The tables look fabulous.
You manage to put so many different? Skills together here - shows how much is possible.
I think your sanding/drinking the water demo is actually a testament to the effectiveness of your dust collection.
Easily one of the best channels in know! Great work 👍🏽
Here is a tip for removing sticky paper labels. Use coking oil to saturate the label, then dish soap to dissolve the oil. The glue in the label will stick on the oil and the oil will be removed by the dish soap. Works like a charm, every time.
Did some mechatronics with my workbench at home. Aluminium and wood is a good combo for strength & weight - for threads Aluminium rivets pressed into wood worked well. Nice project & informative presentation. Cheers.
Amazing design and workmanship, great video
Top drawer work! Lucky your daughter was able to help!
You are a genius, your projects are always outstanding, the beauty in your work is that you also show your mistakes which indicates your constant improvements. Well done it’s a pleasure to watch your videos. I am very impressed, please continue.
For a first Arduino project that is advanced. Mechatronics, precision movements, electrical noise cancellation, manual mode input system, audio feedback and step down voltage conversion. Great job.
Well, technically I made an LED blink first ;)
This is incredible. Kudos on the design, kudos on the craftsmanship, kudos on the engineering.
This as a kit would sell like crazy! Such a cool project and useful tool!
Man this was awesome to watch! Love the automation with the wood working. The promotion is well done as well, it didn't feel boring.
Totally agree about the sticky labels. Great video.
Großartig, ich hab zwar nix mit holzwerken zu tun aber deine videos sind immer eine freude zu schauen und entspannen auch, von der Großartigen ingenieursleistung ganz zu schweigen, mach weiter so👍😁
This is unbelievable! Thanks for this awesome video, I had a grin on my face many times watching! I really appreciate all the effort that goes into these videos and Im really happy you stay true to your style!
Your Video making is as good as your Carpentry skills, the Table Tops are just great & you have real passion for what you do 👍👍👍
Yes that! I hate label glue, It's even worse reusing some kinds of glass drink bottles. Perrier bottle labels fall off completely in water. Colorless bottles with clear colorless labels means you need a solvent.
You are multidisciplinary talented!
So glad you did the collaboration with Matthias Wandel, now I've got a whole other channel of brilliant woodworking and engineering!
Very clever, great build. Inspirational.
OMG thank you so much for showing the world how to use a limit switch, normally they just slam something into the switch you are the man
This was a great video. Your knowledge of electronics really helped you build a quality machine. Thank you so much for posting this video
Easiest way to get stickers off is to heat the sticker with a hair dryer or a heat gun. It only takes a few seconds of heat to loosen the adhesive, making the sticker easy to peel off. You may need to use alcohol or mineral spirits to clean any residual adhesive off, but it’s easier than the way you did it with the sticker still attached.
Hope this helps! Thanks for the video!
You must be an engineer as you are brilliant in creating this project. Thanks for sharing.
It is so beautiful to see projects coming together like this. Your machine will probably make you a lot of money if you keep on making nice tables and it will give you more time to do whatever you want.
Awesome design, I really like the quick disconnect for the router sled, very innovative.
Watching your videos is a lot of fun. I wish you all the best.
Marius absolutely BRILLIANT!!! What most people say about threaded piece on the router sled, I see you are using birch plywood, well standard cheap plywood, what most people said about it being a bad design is very true, standard cheap plywood sucks it is filled with voids and the adhesion between the plys are weak. Its very very expensive to get good quality birch plywood in the US. If I was to make that sled it would have to made from some good quality birch ply that is typicall from Russia, since they have the most birch trees here in the state we are so stupid we burn in in our fireplaces.
Hey Marius! You are quite the engineer, woodworker and videographer and editor!
The fact that they offer a 15 year warranty suggests that flexispot is actually a good company. Let's hope they're around in 15 years.
Really a joy to watch. And wonderful results! Congratulations.
Every time I watch one of your videos I am amazed by your very special set of skills. 👌
That jig is insane. 👍
Next: A sanding attachment for the jig. 😁
Sir, you are a superb engineer. The effort you put into your projects along with your video work is world class. You have a very bright future ahead of you. Well done my friend.
Perfekt, you are a real engineer!
Everything about this build is amazing. You earned my sub. ✌️
Fantastic story and video, informative as well as entertaining.
Great project!! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful project! Love this
Great project. I'm a furniture/cabinet maker with a side interest in engineering. I often have ideas or concepts but struggle with the design stage. I would love to know a little more about your approach here.
Keep up the amazing work, it is a great source of inspiration
Wow, macht das Spaß so ein Ingenieur in Aktion! Nun steht der Tischplattenabricht- Massenproduktion nix mehr in Wege.
10 Tischplatten pro Stunde kein Problem! Dank sister doing sister things natürlich
