Seriously Matthias, you're the biggest inspiration I have for being creative. Thank you for another great video!
Your build projects are a never ending surprise package for me
What's up Wayne?
I have really enjoyed your lathe build videos. Good job Matthias.
Uii>Imu
Mantaaaap
Nice job sir ! 👍😉... Said from an old mechanic.
And I did appreciate your way to save plywood !
Have enjoyed this entire build. Looking forward to more.
I love how he always looks like he just woke up. Makes me feel better about my day.
Cool design Matt.
Until I see what he does, maybe we should all look like we just woke up. I do tons of stuff but I see this guy do projects and feel like a complete novice.
Matthias you truly have a magical mind, it must never rest
Mechanical. Not magical. When he can teleport his physical body we can go further
mathias sos un genio la verdad no se me ocurre nada que no puedas hacer no tenes límites con la madera..estoy totalmente agradecido por todo lo que enseñas en tu canal..muchísimas gracias
Typical Matthias, pure genius as usual! Figure things out as you proceed & change gears in order to make it work. Gotta love it.............Steve
This has been a great engineering series. It's amazing to me what you've made.
Here in Atibaia cudade interiorana of the State of São Paulo in Brazil, I do not lose a video of you. You're the best of them all. This one I copied and mounted my wood lathe, Thanks for sharing your videos, A hug.
Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze :D
You make it look so easy.
Awesome! That's a beautiful chuck, can't wait to watch it in action on that bowl!

i like its good
awesome
Matthias super urađena majstorija ,svaka čast bez komentara bravo.
I'm not at all surprised that it worked.
Nicely done!
I've never been jealous of someone's ability to make things from scratch until I found your channel. I wish I had the intelligence (and patience) you do! I love you videos! Keep them up!
This guy is the Bob Ross of woodworking. I have no idea how the guy does it but it looks hella tight

The minimalist in me loves how you build just what's needed and nothing more.
Very nice. my father watched this as well and I'm planning on doing this have lots of plywood scraps. thanks for the great work you do
I love it! Way to think outside of the box. You amaze me often. I just watched all four lathe videos and am all set to make my own. In fact, I need the lathe to make the parts for the marble machine that I just purchased. Your videos now are much better than they were a couple of years ago. Good job!
I've been keeping up with your channel for a couple of months, watched every video. I'm into wood turning myself so when I saw you were making a "series" on a wooden lathe I was so excited. I've always wondered if it was possible to make a jaw chuck out of wood, now you've proven it. Now, you have to show me you can make a drill press.
Reminds me of a Gingery lathe. Nice work!
I wont do those things you do ever, but it is a work of art to see you work on your artistic skills.
I love watching your videos on Friday mornings. Thanks!
I like and appreciate all of your videos. I am mainly a woodturner, and so this latest series on the lathe is particularly awesome! Great work.
I am really enjoying this series of videos. You make this seem so much less intimidating than I thought it would be. Thank you so much
Awesome, tnx for sharing Mr. Wandel.
You always know how to blow my mind! Never once thought about making my own 4 jaw chuck!
That is a nice chuck but the simplicity is Guinness. The way you made the face plate and chuck on the same shaft is neat. This lathe has a different vibe than your other shop tools though. Nothing bad about it but its built in a different fashion than we have seen in your other builds. Thank you for passing along your tallents.
Does your mind ever rest? I am always amazed at what the human brain can do! ...and you sir are amazing!
sei un inventore bravissimo
Matthias!, fantastic you proyect ,greeting from Valdivia city Chile...
As always Mathias, a passioned genius.
*Man I tell you this guy got SOME SKILLZ*
Loving these lathe videos, Matthias!
Awesome! I like how you make incremental improvements. Solid engineering approach.
Wow!! Great video..Thanks so much for sharing..These videos are awesome!! I have no idea what your making most of the time but honestly, who cares. Lol. It's so much fun watching you make all this really cool stuff. I think my favorite part of all your videos is watching you make your own little tools to get the job done. Amazing!! I really do enjoy that most.. Thanks again for sharing & keep the videos coming.. :))
awesome one Matt
Exelent idea Mathias !!
somebody give this man a medal. Your wood working skills is A+
Actually in Canada the grade system is in percent so 100%
you know what I mean! :)

+Saient do you kiss your mom and wife with that mouth?
Vergel Velasquez Yes.
matthias you are a genius
Really in joy your videos.
You are a great teacher,sir.
Love your tidy workshop layout, it has given me ideas on how to set out mine.
Mr. Wandel: I went from binge-watching garbage on Netflix to binge-watching your videos. I am so impressed with your work. It's so refreshing to actually watch something from which I can learn practical lessons -- and not just about woodworking, but about problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking. Keep up the excellent work; I look forward to many more hours of enlightenment! Cheers from Michigan!
Ah the teaser at the end. Great job on the build.

Wonderful video, as usual, Matthias. You make my day any time you upload a video!
?
+Eugeniusz Budzich A figure of speech; it means that my day is made better because I watched a top quality video.
huh! Very good idea for the chuck! simple but seems it would work rather well.
Brillo!! Thanks for the inspiration.Shev.
Very impressive....like ever.
Congratulations
Outstanding work!
hey matthias, I don't want to badger you about this but I think you can produce some really fine work while still using safe and proper equipment if you bought a couple of turning tools. Frankly, all you need in my opinion is a bowl gouge and a parting tool. You can buy these tools for stupid cheap from a lot of places (penn state industries, amazon, eBay)
Cool chuck! Im excited to see how it works on that bowl!
Take it easy,
Pete
As always informative, creative and entertaining. What more could we ask for? Looking forward to your next project.
Muito obrigado por tudo que você tem nos ensinado e inspirado.
Hi Matthias looking good, for the safety issue you could make a guard .G
Brilliant idea as far as design is concerned. Congratulations. I would suggest two thin gauge steel discs screwed on either side, shaped as required, plus a central steel bush with four threads to take the jaw adjusting screws and a hole for the locking pin would make this brilliant design much safer.
8:55........"and I'm actually surprised that it worked" I wasn't surprised. Nice job.
Matthias you are simply amazing! Wow you balled me over!
Matthias, what about a locknut, washer and a light-duty spring to keep the chuck jaws pressed to the center or outside of the chuck (depending on where you would mount the jaw itself in the assembly) ? would reduce risk of it not retaining the parts.
Always fun watching you figure out problem in a project. Great video. I would use a milk jug to make washers for the places wood is rubbing wood.
this whole series of videos is mesmerizing
Matthias, you tease. Nice write-up, as always.
Very good Matthias
You are number one man, amazing job
Wow! Best wood home made chuck I seen anybody make so far. Real good stuff man.
Wow! A homemade chuck! Thanks for the idea!
You are a genius
i salute u sir
Cool! That makes it necessary to mount dismountable wooden bearings
I am extremely impressed with your vids. I so wish I had the time to do half what you do.....thank you
Amazing indeed! That's just what I have been looking for for many years!
Matthias, trees must be proud their wood feeds such wonderful inventions!
Dude that's awesome
Even though I am clueless about arts & crafts I really enjoy your videos :)
Gotta admit I had my doubts on whether a DIY lathe chuck would be any good. Every design I toyed around with in my head had shrapnel potential.
I have an ancient Dunlap 9" lathe with a solid bar instead of a threaded axle. I've got a spur bit, but nobody sells a 3-jaw or 4-jaw chuck. I'll probably try your method. Thanks.
Awesome video gave me several ideas thanks
ohh boy. i'd definitely double bag with the face shield and goggles for that one. love it. have you considered making a self-centering chuck? could your gear program handle something crazy like that?
Fantastic work
Good woodwork dude. Pretty cool stuff.
This is simultaneously completely absurd, and 100% awesome. Love it.
I did a somewhat similar setup at one point using the stock face plate that came with my lathe and built wooden slides out of scrap red oak for the clamps (I figured the hard wood would be strong enough to hold up with less material, and it was), and used machine screws and washers to screw them down to the face plate. To keep it safe I simply used two nuts on each screw to lock it down. It worked for the piece I needed it to, which was a wand I made out of 1" square stock, but I find the diameter to be too small for bowls given that it is limited by the size of the smallest set of screw holes in the stock face plate.
I like this design in that it allows for more use of the available surface area. I think I might make one to use on my lathe, but since I have an existing set up I'll just drill holes to line up with my existing face plate and countersink them for longer machine screws, using the double nut technique again for safety. I'll probably again use either hard wood or possibly metal for my jaws just so I can get a strong piece with less material; I think if you cut a section of pipe to size with an angle grinder, that would give a consistent round to the jaws with about a sixth of the thickness to the material (and thus that much more diameter to work with).
I could of course buy a lathe chuck, but they're a bit pricey and my current lathe isn't exactly a high-end machine that I'll want to make that kind of investment on.
Nice work, You should use a large, heavy duty rubberband or inner tubing around the chuck to keep any loose bolt to flight across the room!
It's funny to hear you say that you were procrastinating on doing something - watching your videos for so long and it's never once seemed like a task was intimidating enough to make you procrastinate haha
Great chuck design. Easy enough
You might consider locktite to prevent the nuts 🔩 from coming loose. Really great 👍 vid!
You might want to use hex nylon insert lock nuts to help prevent parts from flying off. Also, a threaded insert for the bolt to screw into with permanent lock tight to hold it in place.
springs on the Jaws, or threaded, Thanks For sharing Matthias
I don't know why you had doubt, you made it right , nice
Matthias You could always add a lock ring around the threaded rods, bolts and jaws.
Cut a ring from 1/2" plywood that covers the bolts, cut dovetail pins on the inside of the ring. Then cut blind tails into the chuck, equidistant between the jaws . Slide the ring on from the back once the stock is locked in place, then secure with a couple of wood screws through the pins and blind part of the tail.
Fantastic. Use lock nuts with a plastic top or a spring washer to decrease the risk of them loosening while turning.
You could put the chuck on the Outside and turn Huge bowls on it
Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering if you were going to make one of these! Very interesting concept. You could also use lock nuts to help prevent those nuts from backing out while turning. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing the bowl video :-D
Why not use locknuts or double nut it? I think the nylon lock nuts would work very well here to ensure the fingers don't fly off. Thanks for the videos Matthias!
+David Bierdeman That would be safer, yes. Though more annoying to adjust.
+Matthias Wandel You do amaze me.I would be a little afraid of vibration working a nut loose.The nylock is going to work your glued bolts more though.....
+David Bierdeman Nylock nuts wear out and are a pain to put on and adjust. They're really only meant to be used once or twice.
I understand this.I also understand the pain of a face full of wood.I think the honest reason is that they would probably work the thread stock out of the chuck.This man amazes me but i think he is bat shit crazy trying this.lol

This was posted on my birthday, and this is going to be useful to me, so thank you for the birthday present.
Incredible. FYI Matthias you have some white foamy stuff outside your windows in the last frames.
I wished you lived close. I have an antique verticle Bridgeport milling machine that you could use to be able to get precisely in the middle of those holes. It would just be much easier to do the tight tolerances for drilling or milling keyways and that mind of work that you do when building the Kool shop tools that you show us. This antique is bigger than a table top model but not as big as a modern vertical Bridgeport. Tho you could probably buy a mill that is close to home cheaper than shipping this one.
You are, The Man! Matthias
