Man youuuuuu are awesome dude!!!!! I have not seen anyone as creative as you - I'm so proud of you because you set a great example of not being afraid to try something that seems impossible. In the Bible Proverbs 22:29 fits you perfectly. Thanks so much for sharing.
I recently finished my own homemade wood scaffolding thanks to Matthias' great video...(It works great too!!) THX FOR SHARING THIS...(IT IS A LIFE & MONEY SAVOR FOR SURE.)
Nice job on the scaffold. If you ever get a pinch when ripping down a 2x 4 etc, try putting a shim or wedge near the end it helps to keep the tension from pinching the blade. I use this trick when using a circular saw. Roland
I'm looking forward to how this looks finished. I think the Pantorouter needs to go on my to-do list after seeing how easily you made all of those joints.
Good so far and happy to see that I am not the only one who has mishaps in the shop from time to time... Glad you weren't hurt and I guess nothing was extremely damaged.
Heck I got to 13 seconds and started counting your fingers. Pushing the waste with your left hand like that is a lottery. Table saw has large percentage of amputation accidents, and of those most are from ripping. But in a world of metal scaffolding great to see your good approach :)
since i have been learning all the stuff about woodworking its great to see vids of this. a few days ago i had the same kinda kickback with the lumber i was cutting. and i was wondering why it was doing so. thx for teaching me :D
That shop is almost big enough for an entire second floor!!! Hmm, I see a bike and a fridge in the background, the space is filling up fast. I still can't quite visualize how this project is going to look, so I'll just wait for Part#2. One thing is for sure, with this shop you now have a place for all those extra tools you're building or acquiring: two pantorouters, two quick-set tenon jigs, three table saws, and I've lost count of all your bandsaws. If nothing else, this will give you a place to move stuff to clear space in your main basement workshop. :-) To the persons scoffing at a wooden scaffold... what does wood have to do with it? What is your house made of? If you engineer it right, I have ever confidence that a wooden scaffold would be just as rigid as metal.
Hello, I watched your video on your mortise machine and really liked it, so much I knew I wanted to make one. I was building my first timber frame building and thought I could make my machine big enough to make everything I needed to get my building going faster than using big slickers and lots of hammering. Well, I made it and it worked so well a friend of mine is letting me build him a barn in his back yard. Some of my beams are 12x12 and the machine made quick work of them. Thanks and keep making your videos.
VERY cool project - and just in time for a new To-Do -- something (rat, opossum, skunk?) has moved into the ceiling space in an old house owned by a friend. We don't have a ladder that will reach up there and I'm not willing to pile short ladders on top of an old table - maybe scaffolds are just the ticket! Interesting project, for sure. Thanks for sharing.
When you were pounding in the second "ladder," I died laughing. Because of the speed you increased it to, it looked like an old silent movie slapstick routine, like "Three Stooges" or something
Ok, I'm convinced. A pantarouter is an absolute necessity. I will be building one. Question on the mortises: what do you think about doing a stub mortise in this application? The only real gain I see from it would be that it'd be less mess (particularly glue dripped on the floor), but I'd like to hear your thoughts on why you would choose one over the other in this application.
What happened at 3:44, other than the (I think:) 2x4 falling off? *edit: Would the scaffold be strong enough without adding cross-braces? I assume so, but I don't know how strong mortice+tenon joints are in that direction. Lastly, would reversing the board help with the internal tension, and the board pinching on the blade like that?
Speaking of internal stresses, I had a similar experience with a straight, 8-foot long piece of 4/4 black walnut. After ripping it in half, it popped apart, snapped my splitter off my homemade zero-tolerance throat plate and kicked back. When I picked up the piece, it was now a beautiful... curve. The other half was still straight. "The best laid plans of mice and men..."
Did you make or buy that gadget that's attached to your router? Did or can you make a video on how to make or where you can buy something like that and how to install and use it to make those joints.
cringing at 5:40, though you undoubtedly know what you're doing more so that I ever would haha, kickbacks didnt bother me till I saw one in slow motion, where it shows how little control you have over how close your hands get to the blade. Then one time my shop teacher had a kickback where a ≈5 cm splinter put a hole through his thick flannel shirt - it punctured it and just stayed there. The shirt was unbuttoned so it was only into a piece of fabric that was hanging, but still was amazing nevertheless.
Hi, i just have seen more than ten videos in a raw because i think all are awesome. By the way, can you tell me if you have made a large table saw to rip a 1/4 plywood sheet with no help, i made one long time ago but i know you can do it better with many more improvements. What can you tell me?
I want to build the pantorouter, but will it be precise enough? I want my work to be good to at least 50 micron and I am also worried about "squareness" and alignment between the template, router mount and table. I just don't see it being precise enough using ply or any other wood for that matter. I prefer all parts be milled out of cast iron or at least aluminium to eliminate slop and provide a really flat and stable working surface. Really wish I had a vertical turret CNC milling machine right about now.
Lots of comments here about "storing the scaffold" when the job's done. I imagine it will be jigs, shop furniture and Adirondacks within hours of the project being complete. Once again, you confirmed yourself as TH-cam woodworker nonpareil. Thanks.
How much stronger do you think a steal scaffold would be compared to your all wood one? Also are you worried about it becoming top heavy when you use it? Or are you going to throw some heavy junk on the bottom.
I would like to see you make one much smaller -- 8 feet high -- 2feet wide -- where you can change the height of the working area -- this is a great idea -- thanks for the video
Nice scaffold so far. I would have cut a cross notch in the tenons and wedged it along with the glue and go for the belt and suspenders route. After all that going to be quite a fall if it comes part.
Good effort. Timber must be very cheap in ca as it would not be worth buying wood for a project like that in the uk. Over here you'd better off getting hold of some second hand scaffolding.
Y'a pas de doute ,tu travailles bien en tabernacle ,moin efrenter aussi ,plaisant de voire le mondes Sur You tube faire du progres pas juste dans leurs ouvrage mais aussi sur la maniere de ce presenter :)
protect your hearing buddy--i enjoy all your videos--your amasing craftman--a valuable assett in this world---i always use wood scaffolds in my job--more versatile and much less risk of theft from job sites.. but your scary to watch when u built this scaffold--
I have a barn that I'm working on. peak is at least 24 feet above the ground. No scaffold suppliers around. wooden version doesn't seem right for that height.
Connect at the apex for a really big step ladder.
Matthias is an excellent woodworker who shows the viewer all the steps in the process including the often unseen challenges. Great work!!
Wow impressive. Not just the huge scaffold you built, but all of the homemade equipment you used to make the mortise and tenons. Pretty cool.
I really enjoyed both the hammering on the second ladder and your expression at the end of ripping that 2x4. Thanks for the great video.
I always enjoy seeing these things come together. Apart from being tiring, it must be very satisfying to complete these projects.
Man youuuuuu are awesome dude!!!!! I have not seen anyone as creative as you - I'm so proud of you because you set a great example of not being afraid to try something that seems impossible. In the Bible Proverbs 22:29 fits you perfectly. Thanks so much for sharing.
That last bit of hammering really made me giggle! Great video, what a terrific craftsman.
I recently finished my own homemade wood scaffolding thanks to Matthias' great video...(It works great too!!) THX FOR SHARING THIS...(IT IS A LIFE & MONEY SAVOR FOR SURE.)
An engineers approach to woodworking, or Jeremy Clarkson's? Haha, cool video!
Or is it a woodworkers approach to engineering? LOL
Tobias Redepenning I agree woodworkers approach to engineering - Matthias is a woodworker first then an engineer
M Geez Matthias is an engineer and his website is called an engineer's approach to woodworking...
Nice job on the scaffold. If you ever get a pinch when ripping down a 2x 4 etc, try putting a shim or wedge near the end it helps to keep the tension from pinching the blade. I use this trick when using a circular saw.
Roland
I had another with a lot of tension, and I started with a plunge cut near the end. That also solved the problem.
I'm looking forward to how this looks finished. I think the Pantorouter needs to go on my to-do list after seeing how easily you made all of those joints.
Good so far and happy to see that I am not the only one who has mishaps in the shop from time to time... Glad you weren't hurt and I guess nothing was extremely damaged.
Man you are a true craftsman! Thats a lot of trouble for what you are building but you are the man my friend!
I hope this video starts a trend, it's cool to see you scale up and see what you can do wit this awesome machine!
Great video. Thanks for sharing your scaffold adventure. You sold me on the pantorouter with this video. Good work!
Heck I got to 13 seconds and started counting your fingers. Pushing the waste with your left hand like that is a lottery. Table saw has large percentage of amputation accidents, and of those most are from ripping.
But in a world of metal scaffolding great to see your good approach :)
As always, funny, entertaining & crafty. Thanks for doing what you do!
Hammering those M&T joints looks like great therapy!
Bravo - I can't wait for the next part.
since i have been learning all the stuff about woodworking its great to see vids of this. a few days ago i had the same kinda kickback with the lumber i was cutting. and i was wondering why it was doing so. thx for teaching me :D
Matthias, I love watching your videos! Once again very nice work.
That was a good days work Matthias, I bet you had no trouble getting off to sleep that day, looking forward to the next instalment. Regards
¡Sos un CAPO, Matías!
This is *by far* the most violent Matthias Wandel I've ever seen on video!!! =)
4:40 LOL! Looks like fun getting rid of all your frustrations.
They should design those lamps like they did with chandeliers back in the days. You could lower the lamp with a pulley system. No more climbing.
That hammering looked very therapeutic!
That shop is almost big enough for an entire second floor!!! Hmm, I see a bike and a fridge in the background, the space is filling up fast.
I still can't quite visualize how this project is going to look, so I'll just wait for Part#2.

To the persons scoffing at a wooden scaffold... what does wood have to do with it? What is your house made of? If you engineer it right, I have ever confidence that a wooden scaffold would be just as rigid as metal.
Looks like it's going to be pretty big. Hope you have a plan for storing it somewhere...
Thanks for doing this. Really enjoyed watching it.
to watch you making all that hammering in fast speed was so so funny, I cant stop laughing. and as always ...great video
The amount of time the pantarouter saves is incredible.
It reminds me of putting together a banister with 20 posts... the need for beeing quick, precise and forceful at once is quite exciting.
If there's any wooden scaffolding I would trust, it's one made by you.. BTW, you look like you had fun hammering those side rails in!

Another positive comment. Your router jigs are awesome! Would like to see video of how you built them!!
then why not watch them?
@@matthiaswandel love to. Where are they?
When you were pounding in the second "ladder," I died laughing. Because of the speed you increased it to, it looked like an old silent movie slapstick routine, like "Three Stooges" or something
Sweet can't wait until your next video.
An action packed, hair-raising, nail biting video this one.
appropriate sarcasm Stephen
Its funny seeing comments from all these other youtubers im subscribed to. Good work Matthias
Great job and thanks for posting.....this saves a lot of money...
did you always do a job alone...? or did you get help from friends ? or do you have a friend...lolz
but wonderfull job sir..
You are the man, no question about it 👍
I like what you do, but it was serious hard work! Have you worked out how much have you saved?
More details in the linked article
There for a minute I thought you borrowed the squeaky sound from Frank, then realized yours was real. :-) Well done!
you are a patient and energetic guy. how's the weather up there these days. are you making the tennons unnecessarily small?
Lots of work but the end result will be a very well built scaffold.
That Pantarouter sure makes quick work of those mortices.
Great video. You maintained your composure very well. The only thing I would say is "git yer self a bigger hammer...."
That Tenon jig is great! Where can I find instructions for that?
That is a really cool project.
Ok, I'm convinced. A pantarouter is an absolute necessity. I will be building one.
Question on the mortises: what do you think about doing a stub mortise in this application? The only real gain I see from it would be that it'd be less mess (particularly glue dripped on the floor), but I'd like to hear your thoughts on why you would choose one over the other in this application.
new workshop matt? looks nice

The entire sequence at 4:20 is hilarious
4:20 blaze it

Go mid evil on that block of wood! :) Love the video, I hope that lumber falling over didn't mess anything up.

You've got this designed so you can knock it down flat and transport or store it right ?
Hi, i just have seen more than ten videos in a raw because i think all are awesome.
By the way, can you tell me if you have made a large table saw to rip a 1/4 plywood sheet with no help, i made one long time ago but i know you can do it better with many more improvements.
What can you tell me?
That tennon jig is very cool

Dr Frankenstein of woodworking. YOU SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED! ... I'll let myself out.
Nice job, I wish I had a quarter of this space!
Wow the zoomed in shot of the clamp falling was an exciting view
Gee you looked like you were venting some frustrations when hammering in those sides!
is that tension caused by not fully dried lumber?
Nice video. I look forward to see how it goes. The speed up reminds me of old silent films.
great vid! you work so fast ;-)
Great job man
drew attention to the bar code on the wooden bar, You have such timbers are sold in supermarkets?
Yes, Home Depot is kind of a "supermarket" for home improvement and builders/contractors.
Lots of comments here about "storing the scaffold" when the job's done. I imagine it will be jigs, shop furniture and Adirondacks within hours of the project being complete. Once again, you confirmed yourself as TH-cam woodworker nonpareil. Thanks.
How much stronger do you think a steal scaffold would be compared to your all wood one? Also are you worried about it becoming top heavy when you use it? Or are you going to throw some heavy junk on the bottom.
is there a joint i could make that would be strong but not require a pantorouter?
I would like to see you make one much smaller -- 8 feet high -- 2feet wide -- where you can change the height of the working area -- this is a great idea -- thanks for the video
Nice scaffold so far. I would have cut a cross notch in the tenons and wedged it along with the glue and go for the belt and suspenders route. After all that going to be quite a fall if it comes part.
Wedging a mortise joint doesn't actually make it stronger.
Fantastic Milwaukee will be looking for you
Is there any tutorial in Ur channel, how to make a machine that u r using at the edge of the Woods 0:30
There is a series of videos. The machine name is "pantorouter" and he has plans to build it for sale in his website.
Would 2x4 hanger brackets work in place of the joints you used?
Absolutely not
Good effort. Timber must be very cheap in ca as it would not be worth buying wood for a project like that in the uk. Over here you'd better off getting hold of some second hand scaffolding.
i love your videos
how tall is the scaffolding?
With that 2x4 I guess a riving knife would have come in handy. DIY project in metal?
Nice to have the right power tools.
Looks you like you get one hell of a work out doing "simple" wood working.
5:35 that does alot of damage to the saw. Why not just flat that side on the jointer first? That kickback was mostly because the 2x4 was curved.
such a great project to do alone...
Bravo come sempre!
Awesome video. Thanks.
great! you can see a little bit of brute force being aplied this time, different than in the smaller projects.
Y'a pas de doute ,tu travailles bien en tabernacle ,moin efrenter aussi ,plaisant de voire le mondes Sur You tube faire du progres pas juste dans leurs ouvrage mais aussi sur la maniere de ce presenter :)
Making scaffolds with furniture techniques. Making wooden mallets is popular right now and I think you need a big one.
Watching the FF is hilarious. Amazing you don't hammer your fingers when you're going that fast.
protect your hearing buddy--i enjoy all your videos--your amasing craftman--a valuable assett in this world---i always use wood scaffolds in my job--more versatile and much less risk of theft from job sites.. but your scary to watch when u built this scaffold--
I have a barn that I'm working on. peak is at least 24 feet above the ground. No scaffold suppliers around. wooden version doesn't seem right for that height.
But why would you need one? And why so perfectly straight corners?
Hi please tell me how to made that stand router for tenon joint
It worked very fast and easy I want that stand
I have videos on that
