@@matthiaswandel Haha! You never know what stuff he's cooking up, I'm as fearful for his own safety as I am for anyone who crosses him! Nah, he's a super nice guy, ran into him at Maker Faire a few years ago 🙂
After I made my own tiny bandsaw now I am addicted to your bandsaw build videos, watched almost all of them :) lots of great information and some insane stuff!
For some reason I REALLY enjoy these enclosure builds. Maybe more than the main builds. Watching as you make all the little pieces to close off this small hole and then that one . . . very satisfying somehow. On one, I'll be very impressed with your ingenuity, and on the next I'm chuckling about the unforeseen complications of the last one. 😁
I'm a long-term subscriber, and I watch every thing you do with appreciation. Watching how you recover from your eff-ups is a joy to behold, and gives people like me the confidence and motivation to just go ahead with projects that are over my head. Your pragmatic design-as-you-go, cut-to-fit, and reiteratively modify and remediate tactics should be taught to EVERY aspiring maker. What is this, your 4th bandsaw? And each one better than the one before it. You are a Utoob treasure!
Matthias, I very much enjoy your honesty in your videos. If something doesn’t work you say so. Not sure you get that from some other TH-camrs. You have several signature pieces. Your pantorouter and your bandsaws are amazing. You’re a hell of a engineer. I also like that other Canadian guy , but won’t mention his name here. Keep up the great work.
"...to build from plans would be crazy" - Amen! Just such great advice from a channel - make excellent plans, but when you need to go off plan and work from what you have, DO IT. Thanks, as always, Matthias.
Matthew, I thoroughly enjoy your builds. I do woodworking as a hobby, and everything I have is store bought. But even so, your skills to create and design these pieces of equipment amaze me. Keep up the good work.
This is still one of my favorite channels and I love it when a new video is released. I've learned so many new and different ideas for hobby projects from you. Thanks for not editing out the mistakes, and for adding in your sense of humor. That just reminds us all that we're just human. We're all allowed to make a goof-up once in awhile. That keeps us humble. :-)
When your belt sander grabbed that piece and sent if zinging away it reminded me one of my favorite (not) things in the shop. That is going to use the disk sander on my combo disk/belt sander and only after I turn it on realizing that there was some junk on the belt part that goes flying across the room.
Reminded me of the time in high school shop class where I learned the hard way about only using one side of a spindle sander. Took a few weeks for the skin on my finger tips to grow back after that 😂
Love your videos. Build one of your bandsaws/sawmill and it’s absolutely awesome. Thanks! As it so happens I made a box joint that slid ever so slightly during drying and was out of the wanted 90 dg. when the glue was set. I soaked it for an hour in denatured alcohol and the glue got all rubbery and I was able to gently pry it apart. Perhaps in a future video you could go by the topic. How to take apart a glued joint?
Matthias, I have been watching Sampson Boat Co as he's torn down and completely reconstructed a turn of the (20th) century yacht. He was gifted or sold an incredible bandsaw he calls a "boat-saw" which is operated by two people and administers a "rolling bevel" on the timber he's using for the frames by means of the saw frame pivoting around the point where the blade exits the table. He has two portable versions of rolling bevel saws, one of which is a circular saw with a shop made adjuster and the other is a nightmarish Frankensaw that must be seen to be believed. He sourced the live-oak in South Georgia USA and that episode also contains an impressive Frankensaw. Thought you might enjoy the ingenuity.
Screw ups no! They are Just new learning events. I have three times the experience than most at making projects I have to do it over twice to get it right🤣🛫 Your videos are always a pleasure to watch and learn something new as well.
Wow, it looks very sturdy and pleasing to the eye too (noticed that on the upper wheel mount). With everything built just the way you like it, what more could you want
Welcome at Matthias Wandel's home... but what's the metal strip running from the roof down to the entrance?... "oh. It's my new 15 foot long bandsaw! Makes it a lot more easy to cut a tree upright" 😁 Greetings from Germany. Love your videos... could watch them the whole day!
I'm currently making a dust collection cart with a motor/blower from a clothes dryer- I was inspired by your dust collection videos, though all the fiddly fitting does take up a lot of time.
I worked a huge metal FAB shop,,and it had hundreds of different machine tools,,Mils,Lathes,presses,,,grinders,saws,,ect,,,and the most dangerous tool in the whole shop was the disc sander!!! More people got seriously hurt on that than any other thing. My station was right next to it,,,and I watched as one guy that tried to sand the edges down on a 1/4 thick piece of metal and he didnt adjust the sanding bench to fit tight against the rotating disc,,leaving a gap there ,,it caught the thin piece of metal and sucked it down ,bringing his finger with it. It took the end of his finger off to the first knuckle!!! The force ,of his finger,,stopped the sander. I had to help him find his way to the medical,,and then I found what was left of the end of his finger in the grinder/sander. It happened allot,,so much that we had to only allow certain people to use the sander!!!!
Hey Matthias, I've always wondered, is there a reason you use drywall screws instead of general construction screws in your wood projects or is it just because thats what you have a on hand?
Great build and I've got nothing but kudos for you. However, its curious (to me at least) that you used such a solid & secure method for attaching the upper dust cover with a threaded insert.
Am I the only one feeling some green paint is on it way? Fantastic as always Matthias & really important for us Mia mortals to see when things don’t go quite to plan, make use feel A little less insecure! 😉
I used to rewrite software that was full of fixes and patches and changes and shims and shit. Design it right and make it clean; there will never be a need for patches.
It's great all this carpentry work you learn a lot of things, techniques. Thank you for these beautiful videos. it would be even better and more understandable if we had the subtitles in French ...
Electroboom's desk often looks a lot like mine ;) His style serves both as a way to make electronics more accessible, while still communicating to be careful ;)
Lots of work went into this. It must be so much heavier than the previous builds. If you ever decide to make another even bigger bandsaw you might need to make a gantry crane like Frank Howarth has to handle the weight.
This happens often. Mostly not while filming though. I'm not as careful on the sander as I am on the table saw cause an accident just means scuffed finger tips.
I've thrown a snowboard with a belt sander before. In ski shops, one of the machines used for tuning skis and snowboards is essentially a 24" wet belt sander with a powered feed roller, if you don't have a good grip when first inserting the ski/board, it can go flying across the shop. Edit: pushed>used
@@cameronwebster6866 when I worked in a ski shop, I was happy to mount bindings and do wax all day long. I never wanted the responsibility of potentially destroying someone's skis on the tuning machines.
Matthias, are you going to add a brush to clear sawdust off the wheel? I just picked up an aquarium air pump that I want to make a blower out of. It has two ports so I was thinking one up top to blow sawdust away from the cut area and the other one underneath to blow sawdust off the lower wheel just before the blade contacts the wheel after it exists the lower guides.
Totally unrelated to this video, but I'm not sure where else to say it (then again, maybe I just should leave it unsaid? I don't know)... I just noticed your name, which I now recognize from this channel, in the man page for jhead. Hah! I've been using that for years... so, uhh, thanks for creating it and putting it out there. :)
i would suggest a hole at the bottom of the drawer front big enough for your shop vac hose. a cover for the hole that rotates up. then you simply vac out the drawer.
Maybe someone has already pointed this out. And I could be wrong, but I think the grabbing you experience from the blade could be slight deflection in the bandsaw frame under extreme loads.
I only have a couple of threaded inserts like that ( I have a lot of T-nuts that I want to use up first ) but I noticed that there is a 6mm hex key inset into them to make installing and removal a bit easier. I'm guessing that not all threaded inserts are the same?
I have some with the hex key too, but not this one. The problem with the hex key is though, that the thread has to start further into the insert to make room for the hex.
Not sure you want to make Electro-boom style woodworking... What would you call it? Wood-boom? Hard to fake kickback like being shocked... but the disappearing workpiece at the sander is a good start.
@@matthiaswandel I have seen some safety videos explaining how kickback happens by deliberately causing it... but those videos are more scary than entertaining! There's another YT guy that fakes injuries and there's gore that I'm not into that either... I think you have the best niche that works for you, which is your ingenious and inventive designs!
@Matthias Wandel Matthias, it seems like you work very hard at reusing materials and they sometimes seem sub-optimal. Would you mind noting occasionally what wood would be the best choice for a particular piece (or fiddly-bit) i.e. trunions and the like?
Are you hungry?
Crazy sound ad 8:21
screw chattering in the threads
@@matthiaswandel I thought it was a burp 😂
@@mikecostanzo35 That was totally a burp or something not related to thread chatter. Perhaps he didn't go to 8:22 which is when the sound occurred.
Sounded like a dog growl to me.
The sound is so like animal growling it triggered my fear as to what was happening to you off screen.
Ohhhh! Calling out Mehdi like that! Are we seeing a TH-cam feud in the making! 😄

Thanks for including mistakes. It makes me feel less bad about mine
A woodworker's version of Electroboom could only shoot 10 episodes before running out of fingers.
good point there! That, or lots of ketchup used.
Mehdi has now those multiple personalities for extra fingers... so perhaps 20 episodes... if we are lucky....
That is just an excuse.
You still have stumps left to push things through the tablesaw :D
You could even drop heavy or pointy things on your toes ;)
fingers.can be reattached
@@arrangemonk no they can't.. I tried once.. bad idea :/

I just love it that you don't edit out all your mistakes.... :D
These are my favorite type of videos of yours. Just seeing you work things out as you build them.
I love it when respected wood workers leave in the mistakes and fixes. I think I learn more from those than a video with a "perfect" build.
Great job - love seeing your practical approach.

Mathias is the best entertainment anywhere!
Problem solving is one of the things I love the most about woodworking, especially when making custom shop furniture.
That wayward insert reminds me so much of working on cars. Solidarity with all those who must remove embedded, broken, and hard to remove parts!
You need a fiddlybit to help lower the bandsaw when you need to work on the topside.
I think I'll use a plywood box to raise myself instead! Love your channel.
A scissor jack lift drill driven? I'd love to see that.
@@matthiaswandel I've seen wood gantry cranes, but has anyone built a wood forklift yet?

That sound you made when you were lowering the whole thing down was pretty funny. Unfortunately I know that sound pretty well, too.
Beautiful ideas
I've been watching your videos for some time, and I loved the included "screw ups." You do great builds. Thanks!
this freaking saw is awesome
Great build and I've got nothing but kudos for you. However, its curious (to me at least) that you used such a solid & secure method for attaching the upper dust cover with a threaded insert.
I believe because that also holds the entire lower hinged door closed.
the fiddly bits that are made by measure from the item are always satisfying to slot in.

Great as always please make some great idea related to acoustic room for workshop or controlling individual device noise.
Have you ever added a sawdust brush to the bottom wheel of any of your bandsaws?
No. I just don't see a use for it. Plus, the brush wears out quickly and then does nothing.
oh my god i was so afraid when you tipped over the saw. also i'd be lucky if that sawdust drawer lasted me a half hour!
Electroboom's desk often looks a lot like mine ;) His style serves both as a way to make electronics more accessible, while still communicating to be careful ;)

Yes, and I have pointed out why that's not the case already in the video about the chattering.
Nope. You are the first one to mention it.
