Solutions to mechanical problems which would have me scratching my head for days seem to come to you quite easily. I admire your problem solving ability.
Had to pause for a while after the 3.05-second mark and go and change my Jocks, take a heart pill and calm down a bit,........by videos end my heart was still racing. Thank you for leaving in the 'warts and all' parts, that alone is a good example of thinking safety first. I still put a circuit breaker and a lamp in series with all my first-time running of prototypes, especially for old motors. Top Job, cheers from Michael Australia,
You have a real talent of knowing what footage is boring or interesting to us. Not a lot of people on this site have that talent. It keeps me and many others entertained even after having watched you for a couple of years now. Just wanted to tell you that. Keep it up Matt!!
I live on UTC−10:00 so I am a handful of hours before you. So these Friday videos are perfect for my early morning coffee. Great start to my Friday. Thanks as always. Excellent video and amazing problem-solving process!
Hi Matthias, thanks for these videos. I really enjoyed watching you work through the problems to arrive at the final build. It makes the whole idea of building this a lot more approachable.
This is you at your best: figuring out how to build something, one step at a time, by using a combination of natural talent and good judgment borne of long experience. And the project ended with your trademark green paint, which is always satisfying.
Hi Matthias! I have an old GDR made belt grinder attachment for drilling machines I wanted to convert. Watching your video has shown me what to worry about and what not. Thank you very much for showing your knowledge on that toppic! Keep up your great work! A great woodworker has no need for fancy tools. Regards, Etna.
Your adjustable height mechanism gave me a eureka moment for a belt grinder im gonna make as well! (But with very limited access to material) Thank you! Jeez i kept watching your bandsaw build and didnt expect to find this helpful gem to solve a problem ive had for months
Matthaias.. muy buenos los videos...sos muy claro y didactico al comentarlos... yo aperndo mucho de ellos . Te pido disculpes por no contestar en ingles soy muy duro para escribir en INGLES ... Gracias por tu aporte a mi ignorancia en un tema tan placentero como trabajar con madera. Lucho.
3:14 made me smile: the excited look on your face. Not at all scared by the recent mishap. Only a bit more cautious and nevertheless courious whether it might sparkle or smoke again.
Мэтт, у тебя с деревом столько работ, что папа Карло просто ничто в сравнении с тобой. Восхищаясь твоими работами, ты один из лучших мастеров- инженеров.
Very nice piece of work all the way. I love the way that you have over come adjustment's and so on. Nothing to complicated The whole completed job looks good. You know the saying if it looks right then it probably will be good. Look forward to more of your projects. All the best from across the pond UK Chris Gray.
My son used my bench grinder to shape wood once. We had a nice, smoky smolder going on inside the grinding stone cover the next time I used it on steel. Keep your eyes peeled for smoke and keep an extinguisher where you can get to it easily. It might be a good idea to open the dust collection chamber to inspect for problems after you use it on steel. Just a word to the wise.
Your mind is so advanced, I'm surprised you are content to invent wonderful, yet simple, tools such as this sander! The thought process that gave birth to this project, is exactly the same that could do so much more! These tools you have made are incredible, because you make them out of reclaimed parts and pieces using other materials any one can obtain. Thank you so much for sharing. You provide a visual way for your viewers to make these tools for ourselves. I know I will! Thankz
iliketoUSEmybrain017 Sorry hit the wrong button. What I was asking...what in Mathias's past reveals his mindset for his inventions and why he isn't doing more challenging projects? The tools and such he designs and biuilds seem to be a walk in the park for him! I love him for what he does! Thankz
It's 2am and I have absolutely no interest in woodwork whatsoever. However, this is also the best video I've watched for a while, so I will leave my like here and go to bed
Lo mejor del vídeo la cara q pones en el minuto 3,5 menudo cortocircuito lo siento pero se me escapó la risa del susto, como te quedó el dedo negro. Y lo de no cortarlo para q veamos q hay q tener mucha precaución siempre. ,👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
These are my favourite kind of videos of yours, as I enjoy following your thought process along with your projects. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together!
Another great project. Enjoy the homemade machines very much. If I had a choice between a machine from a box store, or the same one built by Mathias, it's always the Mathias Wandel !!
Dude? Um,... a lot of work done off camera. The reason we like your videos so much is because of what you do ON camera. I still love your vids. Great job on the sander. Beautiful work.
remember it was a washer machine motor its know to have the shakes, it's like watching John channel sitting on the washer machine by them I am ready to watch you and able to fall asleep after awesome videos you both build some time in the summer you both to build something together and have a Canadian touch to it
Great work! I loved it for the fact that you built from scratch. Please be careful when dealing with electrical though 110volt can kill faster than 220 volt.
6/4/2019 USA Grandpa Bill: Oh man! did you hear that? He was talking to the Martians at 5:28--5:29. THAT'S!! where he has been getting his superior knowledge, insight, and inspiration. Whew, a freak accident let us in on it. Well, at least he is charmingly human. My wife, Grandma Pat, thinks Matthias is just plain cute when he looks into the camera and says; "Oops!" (another video). He's captured her heart as much as he has captured my respect.
Awesome build. The washing machine motor looks like a universal motor (it will happily run on DC as well as AC). I can see the field winding, but couldn't see if it has brushes. If it does, to reverse the direction, you need to change the relative polarity of rotor and field. In other words, see how it's connected, usually in series, if you change polarity of one or the other (but not both), you'll have the motor spinning in the opposite direction.
I love this project and your ability to build your own machines. I wonder if that sanded screw being throw into the wood is an homage to Jimmy Diresta since he ends many of his videos by throwing a knife or sharp object into a piece of wood.
Some kind of grinder or metal-working sander is one of the most useful tools in the shop. With it you can make, shape and sharpen other woodworking tools.
You never cease to amaze me. Your innovation is unparalleled. We've been waiting for this video eagerly after catching all the fun on your Instagram feed. Mehdi at ElectroBOOM would be proud :)
I highly recommend using a variac for these sort of experiments. Especially with Motors, which have a rather high surge-current its best to dial the voltage up slow and safely.
Cameron Knowles A stroke sander uses a horizontal belt above a moveable table. The belt is pressed onto the work piece with a handheld pad. You can see one in Matthias' "Touring Dad's Workshop" video.

Love the charred finger at 03:05

I really liked watching and hearing your "problems solving" moments where you defined your problem and then set about solving it.
I live on UTC−10:00 so I am a handful of hours before you. So these Friday videos are perfect for my early morning coffee. Great start to my Friday. Thanks as always. Excellent video and amazing problem-solving process!
Your resourcefulness never ceases to amaze me, Matthias.
While I never cared for your penchant for green paint, you are genius pure and simple. Your videos never cease to amaze me.
Hi Matthias, thanks for these videos. I really enjoyed watching you work through the problems to arrive at the final build. It makes the whole idea of building this a lot more approachable.
As always, I appreciate and admire your imagination, design skill, debugging ability, and your construction skills. Plans anytime soon?
Your videos are always a delight. I also learned that making a screw disappear on a sander is fantastic to watch
This is you at your best: figuring out how to build something, one step at a time, by using a combination of natural talent and good judgment borne of long experience. And the project ended with your trademark green paint, which is always satisfying.
the best design for a belt grinder on the internet! its so universal, love it
One of the finest woodworkers, and an even finer video editor... way to make that nail stick!
The burn mark on your finger was absolutely classic. Great video as always
Hi Matthias!
I have an old GDR made belt grinder attachment for drilling machines I wanted to convert. Watching your video has shown me what to worry about and what not. Thank you very much for showing your knowledge on that toppic!
Keep up your great work! A great woodworker has no need for fancy tools.

Etna.
The way you coupled the motor to the wheel is brilliant.
I like how you used the finger with the fresh black electric burn mark on it to point out the electrical mistake. Nice touch.
Your adjustable height mechanism gave me a eureka moment for a belt grinder im gonna make as well! (But with very limited access to material) Thank you! Jeez i kept watching your bandsaw build and didnt expect to find this helpful gem to solve a problem ive had for months
How cool would it be to have Matthias as a neighobr/friend. The ingenuity is strong with this one. Great video.
Right before you showed the outtakes I was wondering how many times it took to stick it! Awesome build and video as usual! Thanks!
Matthaias.. muy buenos los videos...sos muy claro y didactico al comentarlos...
yo aperndo mucho de ellos .
Te pido disculpes por no contestar en ingles soy muy duro para escribir en INGLES ...

final result as expected... A nice green machine. Congrats once again dear Wandel
Mathias the mad scientist of woodworking.

You know the saying if it looks right then it probably will be good. Look forward to more of your projects. All the best from across the pond UK Chris Gray.
2:59 electroboom! but without the swearing. Sure you could have used a multimeter to test it, but this is way more exciting!
Love the shot of his burned finger right after
At least it was just soot and not a serious burn! That can always be a pucker moment, whenever anything electrical goes wrong.
I didn't even notice that. =D
Haha, just commented the same!
IT's only 110v in Canada, no biggie ;)
You are certainly gifted with design on the fly skills!
a very well made belt sander,and the adjustment for belt tightening is spot on,well worth my thumbs up
I love how you build all your own tools
My son used my bench grinder to shape wood once. We had a nice, smoky smolder going on inside the grinding stone cover the next time I used it on steel. Keep your eyes peeled for smoke and keep an extinguisher where you can get to it easily. It might be a good idea to open the dust collection chamber to inspect for problems after you use it on steel. Just a word to the wise.
Not planning on using it with dust collection with steel. Too much fire risk.
This is why no wood is allowed in the belt sander at my school.
Good plan. I'd check for dust build-up by the drive pulley before working steel too.
Use a wet/dry vac with a half inch of water in the bottom.
By the way, I didn't know he used it on wood until after I saw the smoke and extinguished the embers.
Wow, that was just fantastic. For me, your ability to decipher solutions to the build is amazing. Thanks for sharing that.
It's so good to see build videos from you once again, Matthias! Really enjoyed this one. MORE, MORE!! ;)

Perhaps looking into Matthias' past would quell your surprise.
iliketoUSEmybrain017 Thank you for your reply. It begs the question, what is Mathis
iliketoUSEmybrain017 Sorry hit the wrong button. What I was asking...what in Mathias's past reveals his mindset for his inventions and why he isn't doing more challenging projects? The tools and such he designs and biuilds seem to be a walk in the park for him! I love him for what he does! Thankz
Your woodworking projects never cease to amaze
Good work!
RIP drywall screw. Great job, Matthias! Love it!
Your videos are so amazing. I always feel sad when I realize they are about to finish while I am watching them.
It's 2am and I have absolutely no interest in woodwork whatsoever. However, this is also the best video I've watched for a while, so I will leave my like here and go to bed

Another well thought out, and brilliantly executed project Matthias. All credit to you.
Nice Mathius now that the move is over it seems we have YOU back as well best tube from you for a while very good indeed
You're so innovative...always enjoy your videos. Thanks Matthias.
My friend, you are a genius.....great project...
Absolutely phenominal the amount of amazing footage of fascinating information you produce in a quarter of an hour video!
You are a genius Matthias. Amazing build!
very well done, man. a true craftsman...if you don't have one, build one.
Great craftsman!
Congrats! From Trinidad, caribbean!
I love watching you troubleshoot while making machines!
@3:07 scorch mark on finger. When I'm wiring up a homebrew, I plug it into a plug strip with an off switch and its own breaker.
3:04 - ElectroBOOM would be proud!! lol. As always Matthias, awesome video!!
My thoughts as well!
And the black finger!
The green paint finish makes it look professional. Plus it is a kind of trade mark for Matthias.
You must really like avocado. Because to the color you choose for your tools...😂😂😂😂
Congratulation from Brazil!
And the Jolly Green Giant strikes again! Nice Job. Love your work and your informative explanations. Keep it up.
These are my favourite kind of videos of yours, as I enjoy following your thought process along with your projects. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together!
I have a 2x48 sander and i use it all the time. You will be surprised how useful it is for all kinds of stuff.
Love to see your project, thank you for sharing your amazing video
My girlfriend who could only hear your voice now thinks your favorite word is "here"
Great that you build a new machine!
These type of videos are my favorites from you. Nice work! Inspires me to make my own machines, but i'm terrible at that. Maybe I just need practice.
Enjoyed witnessing the design evolution.
Matthias, you're a mad, crazy, beautiful genius.
A simple very Kool belt grinder. The design is genius! !
Another great build. This and your strip sander build are inspiring me to build something similar. Time to buy some more MW plans.
Another great project. Enjoy the homemade machines very much. If I had a choice between a machine from a box store, or the same one built by Mathias, it's always the Mathias Wandel !!
As always genius. We could all aspire to work like you do.
GRACIAS POR TUS EXCELENTES TRABAJOS MATTHIAS
love the nail dart!! and the disappearing drywall screw too
Just a wonderful piece of work, Matthias. Love it!
Outstanding job, man. You never cease to impress!
it's official, I can now start my day after watching one of Matthias's videos!! Great work..... :)
Dude? Um,... a lot of work done off camera. The reason we like your videos so much is because of what you do ON camera. I still love your vids. Great job on the sander. Beautiful work.
I love the flashed finger pointing out the mis-wiring.
Matthias!!! Felicitaciones!!! Muy bueno!!!,
I love to watch your mind work. There are no rules.
Thank you for sharing your thought process. It is like a Vulcan mind meld.
remember it was a washer machine motor its know to have the shakes, it's like watching John channel sitting on the washer
machine by them I am ready to watch you and able to fall asleep after
awesome videos you both build some time in the summer you both to build something together and have a Canadian touch to it
Aw the green paint
I had an idea that you might change the yoke into one of your dust collection fans to suck out the dust.
Great sander !
Hi Matthias, love the entire building and the great result. ONLY one suggestion, put some rubber pieces on the bottom, to reduce vibration and noise.
Master of "Frankensteining", love your stuff!
Amazing the difference a coat of paint makes - sort of goes from a bit "rough and ready" to pretty slick!
Nice one mate, good to see you back as your old "Mad Professor" self, making shit up as you go along. Top bloke :-)
You are a genius! That is so cool. I wish I could create something like that.
Great work! I loved it for the fact that you built from scratch. Please be careful when dealing with electrical though 110volt can kill faster than 220 volt.
never built anything in my life…just here to be entertained…and wasn't disappointed…his best so far….
I had to laugh at your blackened finger after the earth shattering "Kaboom". I really enjoy your projects. Thanks for posting.
That paint is quite lurid! Nice machine
Well done as always Matthias!

Nevermind, seems like a squirrel-cage motor. More work in reversing it, doing it mechanically is way easier :)
I love this project and your ability to build your own machines. I wonder if that sanded screw being throw into the wood is an homage to Jimmy Diresta since he ends many of his videos by throwing a knife or sharp object into a piece of wood.

so sick, looks amazing, love how you found solutions as you went.
Great job..well worth the wait..that machine kicks ass!!
I highly recommend using a variac for these sort of experiments. Especially with Motors, which have a rather high surge-current its best to dial the voltage up slow and safely.
Awesome! You could put it face down to make a stroke sander.
Hand Tool Rescue what’s a stroke sander I haven’t heard of it before
Cameron Knowles A stroke sander uses a horizontal belt above a moveable table. The belt is pressed onto the work piece with a handheld pad. You can see one in Matthias' "Touring Dad's Workshop" video.
