Woodworking vs. engineering. Had an argument with a friend of mine about that. His point was it had nothing to do with engineering. I said "Ever heard of Matthias Wandel?" and gave him a link to the channels. He apologized and became a fellow subscriber. :D Thanks for the content. Especially while holding up against tendonitis. You're still getting me up to try out new stuff in the workshop.
Matthias, only for you do I immediately have to stop what I'm working in the shop whenever there is a notification for a new video from your channel... Another great DIY shop machine build video. If you should ever want to make your way south to Denver, just know that you have quite a few really big fans within the Colorado Woodworkers Guild. Now back to making some sawdust of my own...
@@UMBerto-wj7ch unfortunately I don't like watching people doing hand tools work, I listened to the first series of clickspring with great interest but not the antikitera, tally ho I don't know what it is but I will be looking at his channel pretty soon
I would say the design of the parts is considerably advanced. The assembly gives the impression of watching an almost industrially optimized process. That's interesting and makes it worth watching the video even when one has already seen you doing many seemingly similar things.
If you ever wanna make one that's more metal, old pallet jacks make excellent starting points for them. Got one for next to nothing and i used pretty much everything. The two cast iron wheels at the front were perfect candidates for crowned wheels and the one rubber at the back was converted into a contact wheel. Metal from the frame, cut and welded into a frame that i based unto your first sander.
I have built the screw advance box joint jig and the 20" band saw. The plans are very very good, but the big band saw took a lot of time to build. It was very gratifying though.
@@hermit3400 Hey Jerry - I am 90% the way through mine (I already use it). Just a more permanent motor mount, lower enclosure and stand to go. How long did you spend on yours?
I love how conscientious you are in recycling parts and materials. Also glad you left the mistakes in… We learn from our mistakes, but I’d much rather learn from yours! :-)
I was gathering materials to build the smaller one, but looks like I'll be building this XL model. I want a 2' strip sander though. Good to see you at it again Matthias. I hope the tendonitis is treating you ok. I have plantar fasciitis from when I was a cop - it sucks. Tendon inflammation is no joke.
I like watching how you work - very methodical and yet always willing to modify on the fly. Just enough narration to keep me informed about what you're doing. Thank you.
I was just looking at some of your plans for the sanders. They look amazing, you must put a lot of time into making just the plans, let alone the actual sander. Great work, very inspirational.
thanks for the great build video! and thanks to whatever thoughtful fan brought you that nice birch plywood! It feels like such an expensive option, but a luxury to use!
@@paullamb30 No, he doesn't. After cutting them with the bandsaw, the only time he worked on those parts was to make the hole for the motor. The rest of the video was about making the wheels and assembling it all.
Hell Yeah, this Content is what i came here for, about 8 Years ago...I watch and like your other Stuff as well but this makes my inner Kid spark some Joy :D
I have a 42” sander but the belts are hard to find so I have been making my own . A hole saw works good for making the wheels, gives you a good center. I have some 2” course belts that I want to make a large grinder. Have a commercial meat grinder motor, good power and good speed. 👍
We should start a pool to see who can guess the daily average number of suggestions that Matthias build a CNC. I bet the number is fairly high. Don't get me wrong. I'd watch a video of Matthias opening a can of beans. I just love the way his mind works and his problem solving and engineering abilities. So I would definitely be clicking the play button just as soon as I got the notification if he ever decided to do one. Plus I would love to see all the ways he would come up to build something no one's even thought of. CNC-PantoRouter anyone? Eh, am I right? LOL
too cool , last night me and a friend were looking at my 30 x 1 i had made, and were discussing , making each a larger version , using the same belts, because , it hard finding suitable sanding belts locally in the length and widths we wanted, , then i see this today , lol , too cool , love the belt cutter idea tks
Used to be able to buy Baltic birch here up until a year or so ago, shortly before you move to the area. Everyone is dealing with Canwel now. No more imports :(
I think its time for me to build one of this things. Thanks for the Video! I like the idea of grinding the pulleys at the table saw! But it feels more safe to do this on the lathe :D
I have an old delta 9 inch bandsaw that threw off a tire and the blade guides are rusted and a couple screws are busted off (bought it at a rummage sale). but it has a very nice belt drive and motor. I'm thinking about coupling the upper and lower wheel together for 2 inches of width and making a smaller wooden wheel for the top to make a strip sander. everything looks like it should work, but I worry about the belt speed being slow and the motor having enough strength. maybe I could downsize my idea and go with a 1 inch belt in that case and built up the bottom wheel to increase speed..... but then I wonder if I should just start from scratch then.... decisions decisions...
Hi Matthias been watching a few of you build items planer sanders etc keep them coming as they are great for all of us take care your family are all ok is your wife going to make anything else 😀😀
Ok honesty i would like to buy two from you and also looking for another to cut the pieces before building and putting all the parts together like you did in this video.
There is something to help with nesting, it’s called the nesting tool. It’s very helpful and it saves time as it takes a few seconds for it to complete the programme
This is a good build, the sander looks not so hard to make, and really useful ! I'm wondering if it could be used as a backstand for grinding metal and knife 🤔
I was just watching the original strip sander build video again, so it's very cool to see that you gave it a big brother. Was the inspiration for this build to get more life out of those big sanding belts?
Nice build ironically i thought the Dishwasher motor would be underpowered but then i thought maybe Canadian versions used a higher Voltage ? Making them stronger than the United States versions ?
Another excellent little tool - I am never ceasing to be amazed even though I realize that these are not the most complex machines - very useful however.
yay a new machine! Do you ever have problems with wood movement over time on these things or is it something that gets sorted with the typical adjustments for said machine?
Seems You have some trouble getting belt lengths correct - didn't You make the same mistake on the 1''x48''? But it looks like a very handy machine to have indeed, kinda wonder why they aren't more common in stores?
equally efficient in design and video editing, thanks for the teachings
Thanks for the compliments from an engineer and artist!
ah yes! back to the bread and butter of the channel! Wood machines... Build more wooden machines!!!!
Pretend CNC FTW!

There is two other as worth watching: project binky and this old Tony, with Matthias they are the 3 channel I drop everything to watch

It's always a good day when I get to watch Matthias build something in his shop... 👍👍
I appreciate the crisp video editing to condense the project to its essentials. A few WW TH-camrs could take the hint.
And there’s no music. Another lesson.

Good to have you back building machines . . .
I like these builds, never completed one, but like watching them.
Same here. One of these days...
I built his screw advance box joint jig. Works great, and not too difficult to build. This one will be on my list for the future.

Ahhhhh YES!!!! This is the kind of build that got me watching all of your videos so long ago... Great to see!!!!!
Beautiful. This, and your other videos, inspire me to “stay the course” and continue building my skills, and my shop. Thank you.
These too builds are the best. It's been too long since the last one. Thanks!
I love how conscientious you are in recycling parts and materials. Also glad you left the mistakes in… We learn from our mistakes, but I’d much rather learn from yours! :-)

I wonder how many watchers realize Matthias is one of the OG original TH-camrs? and always good. He's got vids 12 years old !!
I like watching how you work - very methodical and yet always willing to modify on the fly. Just enough narration to keep me informed about what you're doing. Thank you.
"Pretend CNC" lol. You're a wizard on the bandsaw!
That "Pretend CNC" is pretty fast indeed
So wonderful you're doing these kind of projects again. They show your skill and we can relate to the final project. Hope they continue.
It’s those little tricks like at 6:00 that I love seeing.
As with watching Jimmy DiResta, you also offer a seemingly endless number of clever tips. Amazing.
Back to the big build videos. Great job Matthias !!!
I was just looking at some of your plans for the sanders. They look amazing, you must put a lot of time into making just the plans, let alone the actual sander. Great work, very inspirational.

THANK WHAT EVER GODS MAY BE!!! you are back doing very interesting vids ........Soooooo, glad to see you creating again.
Nice to see you making things again
More like an old-school video from Matthias, liked it!
Awesome to see you building machines again.
I missed those builds! Simply amazing
You are a master. It is a pleasure to follow your experience. Thank you

Looks similar to mine!
Then he spends the rest of the video finishing the parts.
That said for prototypes the band saw is the right tool.
@@paullamb30 No, he doesn't. After cutting them with the bandsaw, the only time he worked on those parts was to make the hole for the motor. The rest of the video was about making the wheels and assembling it all.

I learn so much every time I watch these videos. The things an engineer who's also a lifelong woodworker can teach you, lol.
Nice job making the sander.
Its always the little things that get you. Great build and video!! Thanks for sharing.
You are quite possibly a wizard. Great stuff!!
the smooth camera at the end was a really nice touch
This is great!
Nice job on the strip sander Matthias! Thanks for sharing the video with us👌👍😎JP

A CNC machine that is programmable entirely via a stack of wooden cams that can be individually cut on the bandsaw.
Like the pantorouter
He already has such a machine. It's a computerized box joint jig.
Yes! Finally back to building machines! More please! 👍🙏🙏👍

Wonderful design Matthias. It would be great if one could purchase a kit of all the wooden bits.
I think its time for me to build one of this things. Thanks for the Video! I like the idea of grinding the pulleys at the table saw! But it feels more safe to do this on the lathe :D
I really like your CNC router!
Hey! I have a pretend concert machine too but only just realised it! I feel like I have just got a new tool! Love it.
You are one ingenious dude.
great to see you build another machine.
Always good to see your videos
*the drive wheel wasnt locked on*
Ahhh yes, of course, of course. i knew that.. . . .
Aaron D was wondering when he was gonna notice that lol
Thanks for the video. I really enjoy the tool builds.
Can't wait for the next installment. Here's hoping for plans!

Back to the old Wandel I know and love
Impressive engineering and build👌👍
Based on seeing how you started the motor, I'll be really curious to see what type of starter switch you'll use.
That will be the subject of an upcoming video.
Matthias, Du bist einfach genial. Grüß aus Deutschland
You are so innovative...pretty awesome!
Very nice indeed. Thank you.
Have you ever thought of making a sander attachment for one of your bandsaws? Sort of a space saver idea for those who have smaller shop spaces.
Thought about it. And that is why I'm not doing it!
your wood lathe didnt freak me out at all! :) Nice sander.
Great project and video. Thanks for sharing. Your an inspiration.
Made me smile. Thanks.
Nice! Turned out pretty slick, as usual.
You could use the fan on the business end of the motor to make an integral dust collector, you just need a housing around the front of the motor.
I learned so much from you i cant thank enuf..
That sure is a fancy CNC machine you got there
Aww yeah back to the old style Matthias videos!
Hi Matthias been watching a few of you build items planer sanders etc keep them coming as they are great for all of us take care your family are all ok is your wife going to make anything else 😀😀
Aahh...Matthias build video.. feels nice :)
Ok honesty i would like to buy two from you and also looking for another to cut the pieces before building and putting all the parts together like you did in this video.
after i watched this there is no way for me to spend money on strip sander, i'm gonna make my own :) thanks Matthias 👍🏽
There is something to help with nesting, it’s called the nesting tool. It’s very helpful and it saves time as it takes a few seconds for it to complete the programme

Did it really track perfectly without adjustment? I know you put a barrel on one pulley, but that is still amazing.
Nice build ironically i thought the Dishwasher motor would be underpowered but then i thought maybe Canadian versions used a higher Voltage ? Making them stronger than the United States versions ?
Another excellent little tool - I am never ceasing to be amazed even though I realize that these are not the most complex machines - very useful however.
Nice, short, quality content!
yay a new machine! Do you ever have problems with wood movement over time on these things or is it something that gets sorted with the typical adjustments for said machine?
Nice log jig for the tablesaw......
I wish I had a pretend CNC with that kind of precision and accuracy.
Yes!! This is what I want to see!!
A 2x72" build would be great!
Very Accurate Work, like it. 👍🤗
Como você está Mathias, gosto muito dos seus projetos, trabalhos muitos bons parabéns. 👍
Great build

Seems You have some trouble getting belt lengths correct - didn't You make the same mistake on the 1''x48''? But it looks like a very handy machine to have indeed, kinda wonder why they aren't more common in stores?
Bill me to, I could be driving & I would stop to watch Matthias doing his magic! 😂
great job
Great job!!!
Fantastic!
Thanks for sharing that, well done

then uses his home made tools to build better homemade tools
