@@innominatum9906 Hey I'm glad you learned and had fun. You at least didn't try to sell the idea that it was cheap and easy. Far too many channels like yours will say "build your own clamps for 20 bucks!" then proceed as you did with 10's of thousands of dollars of equipment and engineering not included in the price. It gets annoying when you have an idea of the true cost of some of these projects. I'm also jealous you have time for it :P
LOL!!! ....and like a German, first instinct (his spring making) was to way over complicate the procedure. (T.I.B.S = Tool Induced Blindness Syndrome) ! LOL!😂😬
“Yes, I have tested the thread beyond any load it will realistically take and it survived. I’m still going to reinforce it more though.” 😅 Who doesn’t love a bit of German over-engineering?
$300,000 in tools, $75,000 in labour and $7,000 in consultancy VERY WELL SPENT! Plus, you got to save 1.5k Euros. Totally worth it, in my opinion, what an awesome fabrication project.

I love it for it's strict material constraints..and I really wanted to know if no glue or reinforcements would somehow be stronger because trees are meant to bend with the wind.
I loved this collab. Two wonderful engineers going far beyond the normal. They each also considered stressing the parts and finding their limits. Often, that is not done. Congrats to each of you.
I think the only reason that the commercial clamps were able to exert more force, was that they had more rubber surface area. But like you said, it's plenty for gluing wood together. Nice build!
Thats the great thing bout woodworking. You dont want anything with excessive force as itll ruin the wood itsef hell look at a lot of tge old school clamps... they themselves are wooden.
@@curry3734 While most material pairing have a relatively constant cof, pairings of which at least one element is rubber have a cof that sinks with rising contact pressure. Going by this most basic theory means spreading the load over a larger surface will give you a higher cof and therefore more grip for the same clamping force. The wet hill is not the right example in this case, since youre now comparing a dry polymer to solid body contact to a wet contact between a solid body (tire) and matter of undefined shape (dirt+grass). Contact mechanics are a very complicated field field of engineering and even with all our modern technology it is not possible to reliably predict cof, even when you know the materials, surface shapes, roughness, roughness shape, load and relative velocity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics
@curry3734 in general the frictional force does not depend on the contact area. Spreading the same force over a larger area does not reduce the applied force. It only reduces the pressure (i.e. the force per unit area). If you consider a very small portion of the contact area, then the force applied to that area is smaller when the total contact area increased. And thus that portion's contribution to the total frictional force is smaller. However, there are more small portions and so when you add up the effects of all the small portions you get the same total frictional force. Now this model of friction isn't always correct, but it is fairly widely applicable.
What a great breakdown of an interesting engineering challenge. I love that you you mention that they don't outperform the bought clamps, but *do* perform just fine for the intended job!
I lived in Germany for 2 years, 1995-96, while working with steel construction engineers. This experience taught me why German engineering is the best. It's the way they approach a problem and the mind set. Marius is the epitome of this. Well done, again.
Es ist einfach Wahnsinn, wie du an die verschiedenen Probleme ran gehst und Lösungen dafür findest. Wenn man dir zuschaut denkt man, man befindet sich in der Produktentwicklung. Meinen größten Respekt
I don't do any work with wood or any other material [I don't have a space to do it] but I'm addicted to videos of makers. You are, without a doubt, the most incredible. In addition to excellent engineering and design, you are a fantastic presenter. Hug from Lisbon, Portugal.
I live in the center of Lisbon, in an 18th century building, on the 5th floor without elevator, in an area with almost no parking and not a single garage. My house is 48m2 [a living room, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and an elementary kitchen. As you can see, there's not much space to find, but thanks for the encouraging suggestion :)@@woodbeard9861
The dumbest solution to a problem I've seen in a very long time. I solved it in less than three minutes using rubber bands around the entire finished product. To calibrate the pressure, add more rubber bands. If the finished product is too large to stretch the rubber band around it, use two clamps and two boards with nails in them to hold the rubber. It would also help when using his solution to know strength grows by x when added at the width and x^2 when added at the height. When making your own tools you need to think simpler to turn a streaming profit. He will never turn a profit with his brain, but he was able to show off a lot of unnecessary tools - at least for this task.
@@mojave7604 did your thought on the matter need to be expressed? Maybe I think it’s cool that socially awkward people can become wealthy, successful, respected, and appreciated even though they stay true to their awkward ways. It’s beautiful really.
This is the kind of workshop project I am way too familiar with. Spending tonnes of time on tools/jigs/fixtures to do what I'm really supposed to do more perfect/"cheap"/simple. Absolutely premium content!
What a great collaboration between two sensational youTube Makers! I love the story behind the design and all the failed attempts showing how much work goes into making anything worth building. Keep up the great work!
That's great how you made them yourself AND you talk to Mathias as he seems to be the master. I watch many of his videos as well as yours. Thanks for sharing but I don't need the clamps. Hopefully you give them to someone that will have a good use for them. You rock bro.
The amount of effort you put in those beauties is insane in the best way possible. They look amazing and so useful. The manufacturer can take some hints from you. These are plenty strong and just imagine some people use just tape…
I love the agile yet minimalistic mix of materials and methods! And those jigs and templates, I hope I can find out more about your setups 🤩 Next do a project requiring custom electronic circuits, preferably foregoing PCBs and utilizing the existing materials to interface with components 😏
Thank you for posting your process. Very informative. You have patience, perseverance, discipline, an iterative design process, value quality, and good tools. Perfect, and rare, combination.
I am so glad Matthias' video introduced me to your channel, this is great stuff! And I also watch CNC Kitchen! I'm gonna go binge the rest of your videos now
Great video, really spectacular project! Ngl the amount of effort was just nuts. I was happy to just be the viewer. I know it is not the main aspect but you definitely payed that 1.5k with your time. Been there, done that - it's part of the fun. Truly educational content and I honestly enjoyed every minute of it. You are a great craftsman and the clamps turned out to be awesome - well mainly due to your thorough approach.
Excellent project! Just a small tip: you should add a springy material on the 3D printed part. The rubber you already have would be good enough for it. This spring will ensure that the loss of tension that will happen over time (because... well... it's a screw, it will loosen), will be compensated by relaxation of the rubber. With this addition, the tension will no longer fall off over time like it does now. Just a tip, do with it what you will.
The bought clamps also have a much bigger grip area compared to yours so would have given an extra grip advantage to them, if they had smaller pads or if you made some with wider pads then the test would probably be closer. Awesome work 👌
Amazing work, your clamping pad is definitely better than the commercial version as well. Watching you assemble these was very satisfying, accuracy in every detail pays off in assembly. I'm sure everyone would want a set of these, had no idea such a clamp existed!
Great video Marius and also great clamp! It is very interesting to be guided through production process; it puts things in perspective and to some degree explains the prices of the tools (and other products) we use.
After all the amazing work and problem solving that you put into this, I hate to say that for me, the blue metallic paint was the showstopper! That stuff looks incredible, even moreso considering it just comes out of the paint gun and looks like that. Definitely looking into that! Great video and project, they look awesome. 👍
Very cool design Marius, I really like the double collaboration with both Mattias and Stefan as well, and a very nice result indeed, especially the paint job, they look like metal clamps because of it
I always enjoy your videos. You really have an amazing set of skills and a lot of ingenuity. I also love how you included other makers in your video (some of my favorites). Keep up the amazing work!
this is wwhat pioneers are built upon! inventing the cheapest, simplest way of using a great invention,, I hope more people notice! I'm not as much of a woodworker, as I am mostly a graphic designer and an artist, but maybe on a future proyect I'll consider building one like these, or ordering a clamp from you if you ever make comissions for it! it has soooo many applications!
Loved watching the production process and testing. Would be fun to know the cost comparison based on the material costs for your homemade version (disregarding the tons of hours of time that went into producing them).
Matthias is in Canada, Marius in Germany - shipping that box was already the price of one 'brand' clamp 😉 And he used 'old' wood - but all other stuff (CNC etc.) needs to be added. Obviously his hours - impossible to calculate - maybe chalk it as 'education'. Plus, monetized here on YT.
I would bet the amount of time alone would make all this way more expensive, but way more fun and interesting. Most likely learned a lot on the journey also.
A free resource you may wish to use is street sweeper bristles from the machines that clean city streets each week. They are spring steel, and they are brittle enough to break off cleanly. You can find one on average about every 2 city blocks by keeping an eye on the gutters as you walk around any city that has the machines that use them. It does take some trial and error to learn how much they can bend and how to get them to stay where you want them, but this video shows that you are very capable of doing that kind of thing.

Late to the party but I wanted to also submit that I really enjoyed the wholesome collaboration with other excellent creators! Thank you for this content!
Of course, I appreciate the amount of learning you get and the entertainment value of the video. But, I'm not so sure that ultimately if you consider the tooling, design time, prototyping and final production, these clamps cost any less than the Bessey ones. 🙂
@@hattibugatti You know the price is going to be different for everyone yea? I have all the materials lying around. So for me it comes down to time. Feasibly I could make 30 clamps in a few days. But I can't earn a spare 1500 euros in a few days lol. So I'm seeing value.
Matthias is such a g I can't believe he went out of his way to provide additional testing in the form of reinforcements to aid in your findings. What a fucking legend.
My grandfather was a carpenter and i spent years working with him at the shop. making your own tools was a very common task but a much easier one since we didn't stop to film everything and setup the next shot.
Fun fact: most medium soft silicone cruiser skateboard wheels are the exact same silicone compound that big manufacturers use for gripping or traction, and this silicone can be easily molded into whatever shape you like :) oh and it’s super cheap
And now that I left the clamps comment, man, awesome work, it's amazing seeng you work and test everything. I loved the spring-making part, I learnt a lot.
The CNC Kitchen channel rules. Stefan is a rock star in the 3d printing world. It appears these clamps are good for 40KG of clamping force. That is a lot of force. Even 10Kg would be good for any glue up I would ever do. These clamps are great.
Don’t need the clamps, wouldn’t use them as they deserve since I’m in automotive but this was a great video, super interesting and fun to watch, including the addition of the other TH-camrs who added valuable information. Keep up the great work and enjoy the tools you made with hard work and great effort.
Awesome work and research brother liked and subscribed for this video as it's always good to see a engineer that clearly shows their learning process for others to learn from
I couldnt contain my giggling when I first saw Mr Matthias, not because hes funny looking or anything but just because he looks like the dad from "honey I shrunk the kids" so it was quite funny watching him test your design!
daaaamn you are still making videos! Congratz man.. I was watching you when you averaged around 500 views each video and doing it for a long time. Kudos for sticking too it! i thought you stepped away when the videos became further apart and felt more forced. Always a blast seeing those who gets through on the other side!
And this is why, while I am 99% a woodworker, I have capability to saw and weld metal. Those frames would be so easy to weld up. I learned this from the great acoustic guitar maker, Bob Taylor. He did a column for Guitarmaker magazine (?) over some years, and most of his solutions were metalworking. You can't beat it. His current manufacturing is totally sophisticated, but his articles were about how to make steps early on in your process, and he went directly to how factories do stuff. It is fun figuring out how to make things work in wood, though.
I want the clamps!! My 12 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You are so good at explaining things and making it interesting and fun to watch! Thank you! Do you like Star Wars?
Love the project, design, and the video. Almost as much as I love your shop, lol. As an "Old Timer", I need to mention how we owe something to those learning--we need to set the example of wearing safety glasses! Otherwise, very well done!

Matthias is in Canada, Marius in Germany - shipping that box was already the price of one 'brand' clamp 😉 And he used 'old' wood - but all other stuff (CNC etc.) needs to be added. Obviously his hours - impossible to calculate - maybe chalk it as 'education'. Plus, monetized here on YT.
I would bet the amount of time alone would make all this way more expensive, but way more fun and interesting. Most likely learned a lot on the journey also.
You are a very skilled maker and videographer.
Awesome project.
A free resource you may wish to use is street sweeper bristles from the machines that clean city streets each week.
They are spring steel, and they are brittle enough to break off cleanly. You can find one on average about every 2 city blocks by keeping an eye on the gutters as you walk around any city that has the machines that use them.
It does take some trial and error to learn how much they can bend and how to get them to stay where you want them, but this video shows that you are very capable of doing that kind of thing.
I want the clamps
I'm thinking £1500 is the better option after all the jigs and trial and days of labor.
Absolutely. It’s € btw, so £1.260.
Benefit: you get to publish a TH-cam video that gets 1.9 million views ;)
Plus loads of experience and skills gained
Nah, the hard way is better when it is also the fun way.
@@adorp this is a lesson that is so hard to teach and so rewarding to learn.
@@cardguys first world problems.
You don't live in a nation that floods every year, then gets destroyed in cyclone every year, or sees a military coup every year.
By your logic, India is Russia's vassal state.
All the efforts you put in this is unbelievable, but very educational and entertaining. Liked and subscribed!!!
Late to the party but I wanted to also submit that I really enjoyed the wholesome collaboration with other excellent creators! Thank you for this content!
Of course, I appreciate the amount of learning you get and the entertainment value of the video. But, I'm not so sure that ultimately if you consider the tooling, design time, prototyping and final production, these clamps cost any less than the Bessey ones. 🙂
Absolutely true. It would only amortize when I make hundreds of them
This is what I still want to know: Price comparison! How much does your clamp cost?
Well he also gets a video out of it 😉 (though most of us can't use the same argument to justify 😅)
@@hattibugatti You know the price is going to be different for everyone yea? I have all the materials lying around. So for me it comes down to time. Feasibly I could make 30 clamps in a few days. But I can't earn a spare 1500 euros in a few days lol. So I'm seeing value.
I'll never understand why these dudes don't just learn to weld and start working with steel. This project would have taken one day
❤ welding and laser
great work, great video. Thanks to all of you.
You're tingling my woodworking senses ...
Love the detail of your videos. The process is very interesting to watch. Great work!
So clever thinking of that finger tab to open the clamps for thicker stock...... Patent..!! (And yes......totally worth it!!)
Wow. Not merely stunningly good looking, but also an excellent presenter. Thanks. Signed in.
I want the clamps!!!
Danke Marius!
Marius, I love the stackability of your version. Very beautiful design!
I want the clamps!
How cool. I rarely see another Marius! Especially another woodworker / maker Marius. ;) Great video!
..What a journey! Thanks for sharing & a job WELL done. Respect.
really well done!
thank you for sharing.
Matthias is such a g I can't believe he went out of his way to provide additional testing in the form of reinforcements to aid in your findings. What a fucking legend.
Nice clamps, Marius, and hard work to get the job done🙂
My grandfather was a carpenter and i spent years working with him at the shop. making your own tools was a very common task but a much easier one since we didn't stop to film everything and setup the next shot.
Fun fact: most medium soft silicone cruiser skateboard wheels are the exact same silicone compound that big manufacturers use for gripping or traction, and this silicone can be easily molded into whatever shape you like :) oh and it’s super cheap
I want the clamps!
Great video. Thanks for showing your process!
Enjoy watching the thought process and the build. Got some good nuggets for my future projects. Thanks
мастерство на высоте. очень аккуратная работа на каждом этапе и внимание к деталям - супер круто
And now that I left the clamps comment, man, awesome work, it's amazing seeng you work and test everything. I loved the spring-making part, I learnt a lot.
I want the clamps. This was a fantastic journey to watch
The CNC Kitchen channel rules. Stefan is a rock star in the 3d printing world. It appears these clamps are good for 40KG of clamping force. That is a lot of force. Even 10Kg would be good for any glue up I would ever do. These clamps are great.
That was a wonderfull journey to watch! Thanks for the inspiration!
I hadn't seen your channel until now but I'm glad I found it. Great work
Moin Marius ich bin voll begeistert, obwohl ich nur wenig englisch verstehe, die Zwingen sind Großartig geworden
Don’t need the clamps, wouldn’t use them as they deserve since I’m in automotive but this was a great video, super interesting and fun to watch, including the addition of the other TH-camrs who added valuable information. Keep up the great work and enjoy the tools you made with hard work and great effort.
A collab with Matthias Wandel? instant like
I can’t get over that router! Wow❤❤❤
I want the clamps! Amazing work.
Lol. He watches "this old Tony" too! Love that guy!
I want the clamps! Well done!!!
I want the clamps. Great project execution!
Awesome work and research brother liked and subscribed for this video as it's always good to see a engineer that clearly shows their learning process for others to learn from
this is an incredible video, thanks for taking us along for the ride
I couldnt contain my giggling when I first saw Mr Matthias, not because hes funny looking or anything but just because he looks like the dad from "honey I shrunk the kids" so it was quite funny watching him test your design!
I want the clamps!😀
Congrats! Nice project!
Absolutely fantastic videos. Interesting, fun and highly entertaining. Thank you Marius.
daaaamn you are still making videos! Congratz man.. I was watching you when you averaged around 500 views each video and doing it for a long time.
Kudos for sticking too it! i thought you stepped away when the videos became further apart and felt more forced.
Always a blast seeing those who gets through on the other side!
Thanks. I'm still going strong. Huge project coming soon
And this is why, while I am 99% a woodworker, I have capability to saw and weld metal. Those frames would be so easy to weld up. I learned this from the great acoustic guitar maker, Bob Taylor. He did a column for Guitarmaker magazine (?) over some years, and most of his solutions were metalworking. You can't beat it. His current manufacturing is totally sophisticated, but his articles were about how to make steps early on in your process, and he went directly to how factories do stuff. It is fun figuring out how to make things work in wood, though.
The amount of work is impressive!
I want the clamps!! My 12 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You are so good at explaining things and making it interesting and fun to watch! Thank you! Do you like Star Wars?
I want the clamps! These are great btw and thanks for all of the details in your design and build process.
I want the clamps. As usual you did a superb project and video!
A lot of work to make a clamp, but you did a great job, and yes I would like a clamp, even though I am a little late.
Any DIY project where the end result is twice as expensive and half as effective, I consider it a win!
that router is cool af. This project is really impressive. Nice work.
Love the project, design, and the video. Almost as much as I love your shop, lol. As an "Old Timer", I need to mention how we owe something to those learning--we need to set the example of wearing safety glasses! Otherwise, very well done!
This is awesome 👏🏻 you have great talent and thanks for the awesome content. Greetings from America 🇺🇸
Thank you so much for being such an inspiration
