Nice to see you here. I’ve watched all your daily videos. Well almost, I’m sure one day I’ll need to learn sketch up or whatever that is. Keep on keeping on :)
TBO, he didn't do the jump test from the front, with his weight on the center. I only say this because that's what my kids would do...lean on or put their weight on the FRONT, where it is weakest. That being said. Excellent build, and something I would struggle to make, let alone design.
My sister is building a house in the future. Showed this to her, and she loves the design. So I guess I'm ordering the plans soon... lol. I won't be able to resist making it my own, though. Thanks for showing this. I always love what I've dubbed your "Clean European" design. Light woods and clean lines.
I wasn't sure about the raised trim around the top then I remembered how often I manage to knock my my glasses into the crack between the bed and night stand.
I knock almost anything on the nightstand, so it is a cool feature. And if you spill water or something it can be better contained, my wife is a specialist spilling water on hers.
it made me wonder if there was a better way of setting them in case you wanted to remove the drawer. maybe if one pair of dowels were set in a way that they could, with some force, slide up and down.
I think you could screw little blocks of wood in there instead of one pair of dowels. That way you can unscrew them easily to remove the drawer. Or am I missing something? Never built a drawer myself.
I recently moved in with my girlfriend, and I really felt you when you said "now Rachel wants me to make two of them." I love being able to make things for my girlfriend and our house! It's funny how the list of things to build grows faster than I can check them off, though
Excellent job thanks for posting. You are the best IMO on TH-cam .I really enjoy you explaining everything. I will be buying your plans and make my wife happy too.
"Shoulda used the pantorouter for this one." I'm glad you didn't! It's refreshing to see a video that doesn't include the screw-advance box-joint jig or the pantorouter.
Phenomenal as always! I was expecting to see the box joint jig make an appearance initially, but then thought ‘ahh pantarouter jointery’ ... You have all the tools in your joint bag!!
I like that you showed that while a Pantorouter would've been easier, it's quite possible to make strong and accurate enough joints with a much simpler (to build accurately) tenon jig, and a strip sander for radius forming.
Great project! My favorite trick you used was cutting the drawer sides when you put the second side against the first to square the end without hitting your stop block. Great way to maximize efficiency.
Very nice build! Makes me want to more than ever get my wood shop set up. I was going to French cleat but your video on custom holders has be sold on making those! Thank you for all your videos 🙂
Hey Matthias, I haven't seen you use the tapering jig you use at 1:09 before, is that something you built? Looks really simple yet flexible compared to other designs i've seen (including the one I've built).
Bilal Saleem: Microjig sent him these clamps unsolicited hoping for a free plug. Mathias mentioned them once, but kind of dissed them as not well designed. Then he actually builds the jig for the clamps they sent him, uses the jig quite successfully to accomplish the cuts in this video, but doesn’t retract his earlier downplay of the clamps. Sigh! But I still love him....
@@RobertABradley he didn't diss the clamps, he dissed the push blocks made by the same company. he did say that the clamps were a little pricey, but other than that he liked them.
I've been watching your channel since I was 13 and really enjoying your friendly nature and skilful creations. Have you ever thought of making a telescope? It is a bit more than just woodwork, but I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle!
Wendell, I am also a Brazilian and a carpenter, seeing his old website and reading his history and his projects, I saw the tribute he did to his father, I was thrilled and happy to pay this tribute. strong hug and happiness ..
As a woodworker my most difficult customer is my wife. Even when I make mockups and use Sketch up, requirements are vague and often contradictory. I trust Rachael likes her new nightstands. It's nice to use your talents to bring happiness to your loved ones. Finally - how often have we seen Matthias wear a shop apron?
Mathias jump test, no doubt they look great and are sturdy. I want to see the drawer jam packed like my wife does and then fully extended all the way out. Will it tip over, we need a test Mathias...lol

Wait... bucket with a board is supposed to be temporary ?
I've drilled a hole through mine so I can also use the bucket as a basket for trash.
turn the bucket upside down and you don't even need a board
Is 15 years temporary?
@@PhilepZ Or run a power cord through it to plug a phone/alarm/whatever
Lift the top off and you have a bed pan
That's gorgeous!
Hey, this is Sir Matthias, not a mere mortal, man.
Nice to see you here. I’ve watched all your daily videos. Well almost, I’m sure one day I’ll need to learn sketch up or whatever that is. Keep on keeping on :)
He should’ve painted them green!
Matthias, did you skip over the part where pocket holes are used everywhere?
Wow I was not expecting a stacked jump test. They're pretty sturdy!
Yeah, I was thinking he'd show that you can stack these but then he jumped! Oh man, very impressive!
This man trusts his own workmanship and isnt even afraid to show it on camera.
Would have been funny though if they collapsed.
Jumps for Canada.

You've inspired me to make a bedside table which is also a dust collector.
Can also be used as a mouse trap, in a pinch!
They remind me of the old school desk that I sat in every classroom I was in during grade school. Very cool.

your sister wants to live in a side table?
@@vladtepes97
Why not. Just scale it up and you're good to go
@@vladtepes97 if she felt she could get away with it, probably. It's certainly a lot cheaper.
LoooooL "Clean Canookistani"

I knock almost anything on the nightstand, so it is a cool feature. And if you spill water or something it can be better contained, my wife is a specialist spilling water on hers.
And the occasional spill of liquid...
just move your night stand closer to your bed so there is no crack. Problem solved.
@@R168Y it's impossible to get the nightstand any closer to the mattress, there is a headboard and wooden rail in the way.
I've always enjoyed your ideas and work. May God continue to bless you.
thats a nice clean design. well done.
"relatively elegant" you sir, have a very humble definition of elegance.
I like that the trim forms raised fiddles around the top edge. Stops glasses, phones and stuff from falling.
The pins to stop the drawer is quite a neat idea. Haven't seen that before.
it made me wonder if there was a better way of setting them in case you wanted to remove the drawer. maybe if one pair of dowels were set in a way that they could, with some force, slide up and down.

Me: Whats wrong with butt joints on a nightstand drawer? How strong does it need to be?
Wandel: Time for the jump test
Me: Oh damn.
His a brave man with full trust in his skills. Difficult not to love this guy.
my luck i would land half on it fall too the floor then the night stands land on my head .. he likes his jump test ..
Really like watching you build original design furniture...can see just a bit of your dad's influence in your designs.
Your channel is pure gold. Thanks for the posts!
Definitely one of the coolest looking projects you've had and obviously quite sturdy
Wow! A cantilever is beautiful and practical for nightstands !
I like the design. The seem really ergonomic!
Excellent job thanks for posting. You are the best IMO on TH-cam .I really enjoy you explaining everything. I will be buying your plans and make my wife happy too.
"Shoulda used the pantorouter for this one."
I'm glad you didn't! It's refreshing to see a video that doesn't include the screw-advance box-joint jig or the pantorouter.
Nice design. I could immediately tell how it fits with other furniture you have previously made for your house. Well done!
Beautiful side tables, love the design 🌿🌿🌿
You are such a bright young men, glad you are being recognized by a lot TH-cam followers !
Phenomenal as always! I was expecting to see the box joint jig make an appearance initially, but then thought ‘ahh pantarouter jointery’ ... You have all the tools in your joint bag!!
Oak is such a pretty wood. I can't think of a better wood for furniture.
This is unbelievably satisfying
I like that you showed that while a Pantorouter would've been easier, it's quite possible to make strong and accurate enough joints with a much simpler (to build accurately) tenon jig, and a strip sander for radius forming.
I love your engineering. This piece reminds me of my elementary school desk. Very nice design.
what a great design and even better video showing how to make- thanks I truly enjoy watching you make stuff
"So i setup this bucket with a board on top." Full stop = funniest woodworking video ever!
Matthias is the only guy who can make nightstand building interesting and entertaining
10q! Love watching you make creative designs that are practical, sturdy, & beautiful!
Nice to see you making plans again.
Great project! My favorite trick you used was cutting the drawer sides when you put the second side against the first to square the end without hitting your stop block. Great way to maximize efficiency.
Stunning work - lovely.
I love this leg design you use a lot.
That metal drawer slide makes that one nightstand the most deluxe I have ever seen.
Very nice build! Makes me want to more than ever get my wood shop set up. I was going to French cleat but your video on custom holders has be sold on making those! Thank you for all your videos 🙂
Beautiful as always!
I'm watching this video for relaxation, to cool down my head after work.
"Shoulda used a pantarouter for this"
Were you subconsciously trying to remind yourself why you made that machine in the first place? :P
Nice work, bringing in a little more decorative design without losing your normal utilitarian quality.
Great video.. nice sharing,, I like woodworking too..💕
This was great. Love your work and designs.
Another high quality video.
I really like the lip around the top. Has a sort of maritime feel to it. Plus it prevents your phone and other misc pocket junk from falling off.
HI Matthias Great design! Love the top design so items do not fall off. Another project for me! Cheers from Nova Scotia
Hey Matthias, I haven't seen you use the tapering jig you use at 1:09 before, is that something you built? Looks really simple yet flexible compared to other designs i've seen (including the one I've built).
I was about to ask the same thing! Looks very useful

Very well done Matthias
Looks like a mini version of one of your computer desks.
Funny you mention that because one of the next videos TH-cam recommended to me was his "Cantilevered work table" video.
@@antagonistictherapy and you can have a cantilevered chair.. such as George Nakashima's CONOID chair.
Nice work Matthias! The wife should be very happy :) Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP
Nice looking nightstands. Great video

Nicely done my fellow Canuck!
that top with the rim and the rounded corners looks nice
I'm personally not a fan of the design but that's just a personal thing. The way you put this together though was great to watch. Thank you!
My heart’s almost stopped when you jumped on the table.
Great build Matthias! Really liked that jig that you used to taper the legs. Pure genius.....👍😉
GOOD JOB WANDEL!
Beautiful result
Fantastic as always! 👏👏
Great video. Glad the elbow is better. Keep working it out.
I submit that hopping and flopping onto the furniture he just built is the best flex on the Internet 😂❤️
so thank you for this video to Rachel !
Hey Mathias I just got the upload notification. First time ever. Thanks man!
As usual, awesome in its simplicity!!
Very nice work!
Its great to have you back making build videos again i love your videos :)
Great project and video. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice looking project!
That sled is so Cool!
Cool! I just build some a few weeks ago. A little bit more elegant, but also more pocket holes : )
Ended beautiful!! .. good job Mathias 😉👍
Very nice. Love all your videos

Your mortise jig is awesome.
Nice design... good job.
Cool design, thanks for share God bless
1:44 Is your slot mortiser saying "run through, run through, run through?"
Herr Professor ! Ich beuge mich vor Respekt!! 😊
I really do like the minimalist design, but I can't help but see the two legged walkers from star wars.
....I hate you so much, now thats all I see!
Its good to see you work again :)
Great work boss.
Relatively elegant perfect describes it.
just seeing your video thumbnail sir,,, i thumbs up right away...idol!
Always good to have two night stands because one night stand is never enough 😏
Das Design erinnert mich an alte Schulbänke! Trotzdem hübsch und stabil!
I always wanted a one night stand
Well done, as always.
Very good work
love your videos, sir
These remind me of desks we had in elementary school.
Mathias jump test, no doubt they look great and are sturdy. I want to see the drawer jam packed like my wife does and then fully extended all the way out. Will it tip over, we need a test Mathias...lol
If it doesn't tip, obviously the drawer must be made longer and deeper ;-)
Just as I was thinking to myself, "there's no way he'll jump on top of these" he went and did it double-decker style.
You work is amazing brother i will chose this project for my wood channel as well😊, nice presentation 👍
Bad ass! Taking DIY to a whole nother lvl 👍
