wow, thank you for documenting every step and editing this so well! The sppedups and jumpcuts make your videos stand out by far from others. Greatly appreciate the tremendous effort from building down to editing!
I watched all three videos till the end. Although I am not going to make this cause this is way beyond my capabilities i was really inspiring to watch this video. I admired how you kept improvising the whole thing and even when you finished it, you improvised your design further. That's one valuable thing I learnt today
i love the trial and error creation of this sander. it shows the original concept and it gets revised over and over again depending on what you need. This is what i like to see ;)
this has been a fun project to watch, I do love how you work with old reused wood, and how you get past various obstacles in your path to completion. keep going.
I watched the entire series and was amazed, Matthias you are my hero, I think at this point you could build a table saw out of a cardboard box and some glue. Keep up the good work.
It has to be immensely satisfying to create a machine that suits your needs and can be modified to do multiple functions and orientations. I know that there will be some jerks who would poopoo the whole idea of taking the time and effort to do this when crap in Harbor Freight can be had for a song. But I would prefer this a million times over anything that I could buy ready made. It is having the skill, the equipment and time and ambition to do this that sets guys like you, Matthias, head and shoulders above the rest! Your family must be very proud of you!
How can anyone leave a thumbsdown for such a sublime, inoffensive work of genius. Matthius is surely the Stanley Kubrick of You Tube carpentry videoists .
Some people think about building his projects in a way of money vs time and think they aren't worth it. But this is a terrible way to think about it considering the way he makes them with all the things you would wish that another machine would have. Also his dust collection ideas often work better than any store bought machine would have. Another amazing build.
Nice work Matthias. I always wonder about these home built tools, how they wear over time, what you learn about using them regularly, what works, what doesn't. That would make an interesting video.
Well if you build it yourself, you're never going to have to throw it out because some part goes kaput. If you made all the parts yourself, you can remake them yourself. Can probably fix the cause of failure too.
@@puddingpimp Very good point, even if it wasn't cheaper to build one yourself, it would be worth spending more than the cost of an 'off the shelf' version as you can keep it running for ever. Its a tool for life!
Witam w trzeciej czesci!!Ulepszenia szlifierki bardzo przydatne i wskazane pomoga w dalszej pracy!!Duza wiedza i dyzy pomysl!!Tak trzymac!!Dobry material filmowy!!
Hola Matthias soy de Buenos Aires Argentina . Soy jubilado y me dedico a la carpinteria, ya e hecho varias maquinas tuyas siguiendo los planos que e adquirido y por suerte todas las maquinas funcionan a la perfeccion. Mis felicitaciones por la dedicacion en todo lo que haces
Matthias - I love this, I would probably make it like the original ( add metal plates to prevent wear and tear should the belt get off track ) and then make a second one on its side. Nothing wrong with your adjustments, they are great, I just find that I like to move from a vertical belt to a horizontal belt and back, and I don't want to take the time to adjust the sander every time. Your method is great for people who lack the space for two sanders, and your design is very nice. Keep up the great work!
It needs a sliding mitre fence that can be locked otherwise it will grab the wood and shoot it across the room, and give your hand a jolt at best. I was thinking of making just this for my belt sander. Great video.
Matthias! I love the pace of your content release this week! I can look forward to an amazing video every day! :) In all seriousness, thank you for sharing your journey with these builds. It's super fun to watch you work and truly inspirational.
You know a project is done when it gets a few coats of varnish or when he busts out the green paint. Pretty interesting watching this evolve. Great work.
Very nice sander Matthias! I am always amazed by your creativity and your ability to 'think outside the box' and just come up with very novel ways of solving problems. That, and of course, I find your videos very entertaining and relaxing to watch. :)
That's amazing. End result looks like a machine you'd pay two thousand dollars for. It astounds me how you are always able to make great things out of, more or less, nothing.
2:01 oh god. you only zoom in like that when something bad is about to happen (like the bit breaks and flies in your face. or maybe you ruin the workpeice)... but then nothing happened :P
Nice job. I need a belt sander like that, but i would like to add a oscillating drum sander that can be changed to different sizes. You need a hinge on the bottom.
The best thing with this design is that if you set the leaving belt end of the table a just a bit higher than the incoming end , the natural momentum of the belt will press your workpiece more firmly against the sanding table. It doesn't need to be that much of an angle, just a couple of degrees.
Oh God... I am so thankful I already have a sander like that. For some reason, this build gave me a tight feeling across the chest. Yeah, I'm a wimp. Maybe it's the sight of all that repetitive going to and from the various other tools.
Reverse engineering is disassembling something that's already built and designing plans based off of how it was constructed and put together. Matthias made his own plan and added revisions along the way. Some would say it's definitely not reverse engineering.
When you're confident in your ability to come up with something, or simply have an idea in mind and have the time do work around it, it's simpler to just build the thing, then come up with plans. Even when you don't experimentation and trial and error are adamant before the drafting area is even reached.
You clever bastard! xD Everything you make is technically genius! There are so many interestring tricks to be learned on this channel, keep up all the good stuff.
Fantástico seu trabalho, realmente admirável!! Assim que eu sair desta crise em que me encontro quero tentar fazer uma destas. Não entendo inglês mas assisto sempre seus videos e suas grandes idéias. Parabéns e obrigado.
Hey Matthias, I realy like your work and all your diy machines! and this belt sander is amazing too! Just a little note: I think you hold your chisels the wrong way up.. you should try to hold it with the champfer facing down so the chisel works better and is made for that. I am from germany so don´t mind my grammatics :D looking forward to see new videos from you :)
nice sander. Kind of wish you did a combination machine sort of sander, with 12" disc and perhaps even a 6" linisher on the side so that I don't need to go through the hard work of designing one myself (lazy).
Fabulous build with great explanations of what's going on. It seems to meet the challenge of "all timber" also. The lignun vitae bearing blocks the only questionable area? Good work & Thanks
It seems noone here in Austria throws induction motors out on the street. All I can find are washing machine motors, which are noisy and annoying to control.
If you can find a universal type washing machine motor with brushes, these generally are not insanely loud. Also, the option of a brushless DC motor, from perhaps a hobby electronics store online could work for a belt sander. The BLDC motor offers greater control over speed as well as power, but usually is a bit more electronics oriented. You could also use the motor from an old AC powered drill or some other high RPM high torque appliance.
I love how you use your projects to finish the project
Well done. I think it's awesome that you just kept improvising as the project went on and didnt give up
I don't do any woodworking myself, but I really enjoy your videos because of the great production value.
wow, thank you for documenting every step and editing this so well! The sppedups and jumpcuts make your videos stand out by far from others. Greatly appreciate the tremendous effort from building down to editing!
The best thing about this project is that you used the belt sander to make the same belt sander :) Your sence of detail is amazing... cool project.
I watched all three videos till the end. Although I am not going to make this cause this is way beyond my capabilities i was really inspiring to watch this video. I admired how you kept improvising the whole thing and even when you finished it, you improvised your design further. That's one valuable thing I learnt today
To build all that is an impressive achievement and lots of fun. Thank you for showing, sharing and even deliver the design.

I love it when machines build parts of themselves :)
It's like reverse cannibalism.
One of the biggest lessons from watching Matthias Wandel's videos is to pre-drill every single hole no matter how small.
hen working with hardwood, yes.

One of my favorite of your tool builds. Great job. Thanks for passing on the knowledge.
Matthias you are so talented. A true wood workers wood worker! Keep up the cool projects and studies. Absolutely love them!
I love watching you build your tools, especially when you use them in their incomplete state to make parts for the final tool.
Great job as always, Matthias! I really like how quiet and smooth it runs.
How can anyone leave a thumbsdown for such a sublime, inoffensive work of genius. Matthius is surely the Stanley Kubrick of You Tube carpentry videoists .
You are so great, how can you have so many ideas and made all that, i watch over and over all the time.keep going...may God bless.👍👍👍
Another really nice homemade machine! That green color is your definitely your branding. Thanks for sharing

My God. My young friend you are a Genius! My hat is off and I am bowing at the waist ! I wish I had your skills .
Well done Mathias. Green paint is fine with me. Your machine, your paint, why not? Apart fro that the approach you have is refreshing!
Matthias I really like your videos, they always brighten my day. Thank you for making them
"I wasnt able to clamp them" i couldnt believe my ears. Neither my eyes.
pocket holes
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
a square piece with an inverted triangular cut in which the tip of the pieces would have fit into
Hery brad nails

Matthais, great series and the sander turned out great! I always enjoy your cleaver ways of building projects. Keep them coming .
I have seen all 3 of these videos from making this Belt Sander. Like I said in the comments on the first video, your a smart fellow.Lead on!!!
Went to Lowe's and asked the paint department for some "Matthias Green". They just stared blankly at me.
Hola Matthias soy de Buenos Aires Argentina . Soy jubilado y me dedico a la carpinteria, ya e hecho varias maquinas tuyas siguiendo los planos que e adquirido y por suerte todas las maquinas funcionan a la perfeccion. Mis felicitaciones por la dedicacion en todo lo que haces
Usted puede construirlo: woodgears.ca/belt_sander/plans
Aw yeah another project finished. Great series of videos Matthias, you do great work. Can't wait for the next project.

that is beyond awesome! my favorite tool you've built

Matthias! I love the pace of your content release this week! I can look forward to an amazing video every day! :)
In all seriousness, thank you for sharing your journey with these builds. It's super fun to watch you work and truly inspirational.
I love it when he uses the machine he's building to build upgrades to that very same machine!
A fine, versatile tool Matthias!
Your videos make me happy for some reason.
Matthias, you're one smart dude. I always learn some trick or something from you. Keep on keeping on.
You know a project is done when it gets a few coats of varnish or when he busts out the green paint. Pretty interesting watching this evolve. Great work.
I love that you use the device you are making in the process of making it! :D
You're insanely good at woodworking
Very nice sander Matthias! I am always amazed by your creativity and your ability to 'think outside the box' and just come up with very novel ways of solving problems. That, and of course, I find your videos very entertaining and relaxing to watch. :)
Finally finished! This project really took my attention from all other channels I'm subscribed.
I wanted to see you paint it green!
He said in one of his videos "it's kind of boring to record the painting"
Yes, have we ever got to see that part?
he says that for varnishing projects also. When its manual its boring I guess :)
Well he did show the paint part when he was making the table saw
Yes he did but because the table saw was is easy to paint
Came together nicely, Matthias!
Watch your stuff ,I like the approach and execution ,taking much for myself ,thank you !
I love it! I have always enjoyed watching you build your homemade power tools.
That's amazing. End result looks like a machine you'd pay two thousand dollars for. It astounds me how you are always able to make great things out of, more or less, nothing.
2:01 oh god. you only zoom in like that when something bad is about to happen (like the bit breaks and flies in your face. or maybe you ruin the workpeice)... but then nothing happened :P
This is exactly what I thought too. Just like when Jimmy DiResta does slow-motion.
That's just a zoom.
In moments of real peril you bring the camera in and zoom out at the same time. That screws with peoples' brains.
I'm just talking about what matthias usually does.
:-D I was expecting the same.
You nails it right on the head, I was surprised when nothing happened after the "doom zoom"!
Great job Matthias you make all wood working simple and perfect learned alot from you thanx
I love how you use the machine to improve it!
I'm thinking this is more useful than a Disc Sander being as you can do concave radii as well.
Thanks for sharing your builds and inspiring 1,000s !
Nice job. I need a belt sander like that, but i would like to add a oscillating drum sander that can be changed to different sizes.
You need a hinge on the bottom.

The day you get a 3D printer you will fly to the moon Matthias! Keep up the great content!
It's definitely hard to find a channel like this with so many subs
There comes the Matthias green!!
When the Matthias Green paint comes out we know the project is done. Kind of wrapping it up in a nice little bow.
Green = GO! (hog wild)
I like the noise you make when you whack a bolt with a wooden mallet
Most reassuring
Excellent work as always Matthias.
It's great that you make me admire your projects
love the work you do, I look forward to your videos the most!
You are simply an awesome mind boggling man. Love to watch your projects.
That turned out great, gonna be interesting too see how the silicone roller holds uo
imagine what this guy could do if he got his hands on a real material like steel!! possibilities are endless
Serious sized machine! Finally autentically green!
Oh God... I am so thankful I already have a sander like that. For some reason, this build gave me a tight feeling across the chest. Yeah, I'm a wimp. Maybe it's the sight of all that repetitive going to and from the various other tools.
Hi, Matthias, good job and very inspirational video! Thanks!
Your machines are so awesome. Thanks for sharing with us.
oh man, you're so handy! Love it
I wanna workshop like that one day, fully equipped
Great addition to a useful tool. Built to last. Good job.
Impressive! I love the way you reverse engineer build then plans.
Sometimes the best way to do it I think.
I start with a design, but usually make revisions as I go along.
+Matthias Wandel Your process is amazing
Reverse engineering is disassembling something that's already built and designing plans based off of how it was constructed and put together. Matthias made his own plan and added revisions along the way. Some would say it's definitely not reverse engineering.

سيد ماثياس انت رجل جيد وانا دائما أتابع منشوراتك و لا أجيد اللغة العربية اريد ان تسدي إلي بعض النصائح في ما يخص العدد اليدوية والكهربائية

I learn lots of things from your videos; thanks
You inspired me so much Matthias
Hey Matthias,
I realy like your work and all your diy machines! and this belt sander is amazing too!
Just a little note: I think you hold your chisels the wrong way up.. you should try to hold it with the champfer facing down so the chisel works better and is made for that.
I am from germany so don´t mind my grammatics :D
looking forward to see new videos from you :)
Really nice work Matthias. I like your videos, Interesting and useful. Have a beautiful summer!
Unless he is currently in Australia where it's winter.
I'm pretty sure he is in Canada
+rude252 vacation?
Uninsulated Shrimp lol you never know
Brilliant Matthias. Well done.
you need to see if it's possible to get a patient on that color green.. Matthias green
Next project, a wooden hover board/personal transporter? it would be interesting!
nice build Matthias. Really enjoyable.
your edge/belt sander looks like a huge hand held belt sander. I would like to see you use it as a portable hand held sand....just for kicks.
Thank you Mr. Wandel, for your entertaining and informative videos. Subscribed, is the only way to go!
you've done it again Matthias
i thought you're gonna put some hinges on it
nice build!!
I have tons of motors around, I'll have to get to building some of your designs soon.
nice sander. Kind of wish you did a combination machine sort of sander, with 12" disc and perhaps even a 6" linisher on the side so that I don't need to go through the hard work of designing one myself (lazy).
I'm not a fan of disk sanders. they are handy for some things, but chainging the paper is just too much of a hassle.
true indeed
Fabulous build with great explanations of what's going on.
It seems to meet the challenge of "all timber" also.
The lignun vitae bearing blocks the only questionable area?
Good work & Thanks
This guy is amazing.
Love the attention to detail
A green-painted thing of beauty.
I'm surprised you don't use drill bits with the integrated countersink. Is there some reason?
Great series Matthias!
u r amazing I also enjoy watching you CANT WAIT TO SEE NEXT PROJECT
It seems noone here in Austria throws induction motors out on the street. All I can find are washing machine motors, which are noisy and annoying to control.
Go to the tip and ask or keep an eye out for pool pumps, they have powerful motors.
If you can find a universal type washing machine motor with brushes, these generally are not insanely loud. Also, the option of a brushless DC motor, from perhaps a hobby electronics store online could work for a belt sander. The BLDC motor offers greater control over speed as well as power, but usually is a bit more electronics oriented. You could also use the motor from an old AC powered drill or some other high RPM high torque appliance.
Great work . Wait for the plans
