I LOVE all the screw-ups!!! I thought I was the only when I build things from scratch! Thank you for showing all that. And, like me, you make little pieces and tweaks on the fly instead of redoing the whole piece anew! THAT'S what tinkerers do. I Do, however, hope the plans have all the corrections already made to them.
I made the small strip sander from the plans and it performs really well, despite having nothing but a cheap miniature bandsaw to cut everything. I highly recommend getting those plans if you need a strip sander.
So I built a DIY belt sander last year. It took a few days and was a lot of fun. At the end, the starter winding burned on the first test run. Everything was based on that motor. The pulleys, the geometry and the dust colllection housing. The motor was also part of the stand since it was so big and heavy. It wasn´t really salvageable, so I threw it all away and bought an industrial machine instead. Happy with that one haha.
When you were explaining your oversights for the adjustable running wheel and then turned them into to an opportunity to improve your design, I got Bob Ross "happy accident" vibes.
Damn, I wish I had a tenth of the knowledge this guy has. The way he moves through things and plans is just brilliant. Well done Matthias, I'll be waiting for the next project.
Great build... love the way you built the cover "in-situ" I would use an old HDPE cutting board from the kitchen for the triangular shaft adjustment piece. The auto shut-off switch is a must with a sander... love it.
Hello Matthias sorry to hear about your day care schools have closed over schools have closed from Friday.To all who it might effect stay safe wherever you are.On a plus note very nice work on your extra large sander had to laugh when you said have to paint it out came the green 😂😀😀
Awesome! I just love how good you're at pre-planning these things while still leaving yourself enough wiggle room to adapt to anything that arises along the way. Doesn't hurt that you can now switch quickly between two separate grits.
Thank you for the video! It is good to see ya back to working in the shop... This might be something I will buy as I have been wanting one but just don't want to buy one... I have all the stuff and if the weather was better the time is there with this 19 thing going around... Weather is 40's but still to wet for my 66 year old bones... LOL LLAP
Obviously rounding off most the corners and sharp edges as well as sanding the inside of the dusty zone to a baby bottom finish will help a lot in preventing dust collecting in particular areas of said zone...
What gets me is how these projects always end up looking like a store bought item instead of my shop made monstrosities, what is the magic in your green paint?
Have you ever considered adding a sort of brush on the inside near the dust port to dislodge dust from the belt? Just curious, because you said the dust climbs up to the top a bit.
Yes it's finished! Great build, thanks for sharing. You mentioned that when you do plans for this, you may include them in the 1x42" sander plans. Will there be an option for those that have already bought the 1x42" plans to pay an "upgrade fee" for the new sander plans without having to buy everything again?
Hi Matthias, thank you so much for your videos and your thoughts. All very interesting and instructive. I'm ready to try to build this strip sander but I have many doubts about the motor. It's absolutely not my field. Do you have some tips to give to people like me who do not know what to buy (maybe on Amazon) given the many differences between the different motors? Thanks a lot:-)
@@matthiaswandel i figured that would be the case. I'm curious how long something like a rough nylon brush, like the kind you can use to texture paint on ceilings, would last in that situation. Little bandsaws have those kind of brushes on the drive wheels and they seem to last
I could download the plans and do everything exactly to your Spec and it would still turn out like wobbly crap. I dunno how you make such solid machines with just wood.
What is your Solution if those wooden Threads wear out Matthias? P.S. I´m not looking for a "i never broke one" answer but a real one, because some other person might screw one up.
@@antraxxslingshots wood holds threads well. If it doesn't then some isocyanate glue makes wood harder. But really we use screws in wood all the time and it holds fine.
Love how this guy goes to the point...the video starts with no intro or anything, just where he left it a week ago
That's how they all should be ;-D
Ah. The old Matthias is back.
I was just going to say that!
So was i!
👍
Not so old. ;)

You have that kind of mind. Like watching your videos and your ingenious ways of problem solving.
Really nice to see you getting back to make stuff again and sharing it. The creative problem solving is great. Very inspirational.
Thank you for keep posting videos in this hard time. Here in France, we are all confined at home without the right to go outside freely. Be safe

Just watch all his videos. Maybe by then you'll have a tenth.

Enjoy watching you build your prototype. Adjusting, problem solving as you go! Great lesson.
It's so awesome how you're able to build this. Its so satisfying, also love the fact that you're shop is fill with machines you built yourself.
Matthias is back to doing what he does best!
Oh Matthias, you are so amazing! So very interesting to watch!
hi.. Wandel I love your works, you inspire me to work, with wood.
Have a family wooders´s
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
I do enjoy seeing you build these wooden tools.
Metal machines are nicer though. But wood is cheap, works fast and is often good enough.
I love that Matthias Wandel green.
Classic Matthias - love these projects!
Nice work as always. Always nice to see one of your creations being built
You are very skilful and very hardworking
I confirm this is the Mathias' video we really like. Great
Thanks for the video!
Stay safe, Matthias!
Superb little belt grinder!clever chap you are sir,well done,think I'll make one too😁
The best youtube channel
Awesome!

Now this is the stuff I want to see and subscribed for, thanks M. !
The famous Wandel green !
Very nicely done Sir!
It ain't finished until it's green! Great build!
Beautiful build Matthias. Glad you are able to work with your tendinitis. Captions would be helpful when you have a moment. 👍
Thanks for continuing to upload great content like this amid the coronavirus crisis.
Ficou top D+ a lixadeira. Parabéns.
Αwesome artist, amazing video always!
Very good sander !
great looking sanders! thanks for the video!

Great work
Again! Very well build Sir!
I can’t believe I waited this long to join Instagram :) love seeing little snippets on there now before the video shows up here.
Nice! Always look forward to your new creations Matthias.. :)
Nice!
Thanks for the video.
Parabéns vc é um mega profissional adoro ver os seus trabalhos, é uma pena que aqui no Brasil não dão valor a esta profissão.
amazing. good work.

Make sure edges are smooth and slightly rounded, wood edges straight, careful paint, and a clear coat on top
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Don't be shy about asking more for your plans - they're definitely worth it.
Looks great. Where can I see you building that switch?
in an upcoming video
@@matthiaswandel sweet! I've been watching for years and I think it's time I subscribe, your content is amazing!
@@ObesityandLag Only now? I think I watched two or three of Matthias' videos (about 5 years ago or so) and I straight subscribed.
Never regretted it.
@@hansdegroot8549 I know i know. None the less i still have watched all his videos.
Why not clamp the rod for the front pulley in between those vertical elements? Would save you from having to shave down the triangle?
I thought of that, but that would interfere wit hthe table mount when the table is tilted
@@matthiaswandel Ah ok. Well then this was the only option :)
that tracking mechanism works so beautifully
Have you ever considered adding a sort of brush on the inside near the dust port to dislodge dust from the belt? Just curious, because you said the dust climbs up to the top a bit.
Nice project! What is the screw type in 3:46, with a large head?
That's kool.
What about making plans for a big one they use for sword making?
I would definitely buy plans for that!
this one isn't designed for metal. I built a belt grinder two years ago though.
Great video as usual! 👍 👍
Thanks for sharing that, well done!
eres bueno en lo tuyo, te envidio sanamente, saludos

Have you built your own cnc? If not, any interest in it?
Muito boa a lixada irá gostei vou tentar fazer uma 🙋👍
thanks for this video , I enjoy learning from your experience . what was that web site that I can buy your plans from your projects ?
You are awesome!
08:43 Maker-you was deceiving himself. However, Editor-you spotted the deception. Viewer-me says: well done you -- and you.
Cognitive dustonance.
6:52 nice
good video
Why are we using indefinitely all the time instead of temporary for the closures???
Indefinite is when you don't know when it ends.
@@matthiaswandel I'm of the opinion, that indefinite is more of a doom related word, whereas temporary is not. That's why I rather hear temporary.
isto é uma beleza adorei.
I couldn’t find the video about the NVR switch-is it on your other channel?
Robert Rowlett was just looking for the same thing
Would there be any benefit to adding brush bristles inside the sander, before it comes out the top? Essentially brushing the sandpaper before it exits
That brush would get worn down to the point that it doesn't touch the sandpaper in a matter of minutes
@@matthiaswandel i figured that would be the case. I'm curious how long something like a rough nylon brush, like the kind you can use to texture paint on ceilings, would last in that situation. Little bandsaws have those kind of brushes on the drive wheels and they seem to last
what about sanding and other dust getting into the open motor?
Nice Job!
If you use your strip sanders too much and they overheat and catch on fire, are they then known as Burny Sanders?
Would you sale the prints or Stencils for the larger belt sander by chance ?
once I have the plans ready, yes. But it takes time.
I wonder if the inside of the dust cover was smoother whether less dust would build up on the sides?
proving once again that diy wood power tools are perfectly doable.
"Daycare is closed indefinitely, we all know why."
Yes. Yes we do. I hope your family is doing okay.
what would it take to make it convertible to a tiny bandsaw?
A lot of stupidity
@@matthiaswandel Still punchline master ;)
I could download the plans and do everything exactly to your Spec and it would still turn out like wobbly crap. I dunno how you make such solid machines with just wood.
Is it possible that you can make a scroll saw?
P.S.

P.S. I´m not looking for a "i never broke one" answer but a real one, because some other person might screw one up.
Drill another hole? :)
@@Yonatan24 and then what? Get bigger each time until you end up with M20 in each hole? I guess not :D
@@antraxxslingshots wood holds threads well. If it doesn't then some isocyanate glue makes wood harder. But really we use screws in wood all the time and it holds fine.
Threaded inserts!
@@vmitchinson Unnecessary. Wood holds threads well. In fact you can make wooden threads. Both of the inside and outside varieties.
Amazing..🇲🇨✌️
If I already bought the strip sander plan and built it, do I get a Discount?
Why not make belt sander xl?
Quick question what program do you use to make the 2D cad design templates?
Please add a link to the switch build.
nice done i will copy this design
why was this not in my inbox!?
Neat.
Guess who's back ? Back again ...
Wandel's back, tell a friend
The best engineer

Where did the motor come from? Apologies if you mentioned it in your video.
jon Q ,hi in the last video he said that it was from a dish washer.
