Your videos are the only videos that I really don't mind watching all 12 minutes of Most other videos I go to view, I'll either skip to the good part or it's a song and I listen to all 4 minutes. I watched this and only realized it was 12 minutes after it was done
thank you Sir, I feel lucky to have found your vids, great start to my day! I've been a carpenter for 23 years, now trying to grow into a finish cabinet maker/furniture maker/joiner etc. I am much appreciative of you sharing your know-how. Great tips on the arbor by the way, I now suspect this is the problem with my 12" Rigid radial/compound/chop-saw. Cheers.
my god... you're a wood god! i wouldn't be shocked if you told me that you built this entire workshop(and your house) with just a hammer, several thousand nails, and time.
I love how you have mostly, as you said "Not very good" stuff but are still able to produce very good work with it. Guess its true a bad workman blames his tools...
I have to say I really enjoy your videos. I find you to be very informative and easy to listen to. When I first saw your vid on how to make gears I was hooked. Keep up the good work you have a fan here sir.
As the Germans would say "Ordnung muss sein!" And in your workshop the "Ordnung" is unbelievable! I envy you this workshop. Lots of machinery, lots of space. Very professionall. Like it!
You are a slightly strange,yet very interesting fellow. Your tool design's are amazing,I wish I was half as smart as you. Your video's are always interesting to watch.
Well done. Originally viewed your awesome computer controlled box joint jig video and tenon jig of course it is accurate to a tolerance NASA would envy so I like it too. Nice tour.
I wish I were you. I can never make anything because I'm 14 and my dad doesn't have any saws or sanders. Just a drill. You have everything in that workshop. -sigh-
good lookin shop Matt. nice vid too. and caught alot of your other vids also. many nice projects. Alot of great looking homemade tools too along with all those jigs and other contraptions you made. keep up the good work and be safe doing it :) gl and God Bless.
@ironlionkalo Actually I think it's literally reflecting the wooden ceiling color. He has better photos of the jointer on his website, and it's pretty well polished.
Nice video! I enjoyed it. Thank you for the presentation. You do very well for the space you have available! It must be very difficult to film in a woodworking shop.
Much less than that. My most expensive machines were the table saw and the jointer, at under $800 each. The only other machines I bought new were the 14" bandsaw and the drill press.
Such a large invesment for what seems a hobby to you, with so many "homegrown projects." You look to be about 30 yrs. Where do you see yourself and your obvious talent in ten, twenty or more years? I haven't seen all your videos yet. Perhaps the answer is there. Just wondering. Seems to me you could make an awfully good living in boatbuilding. Just a thought. Not all boatbuilding is fibreglass or steel or aluminum. There is a need for new talent with people who are very good with working with wood. Even the aforementioned mediums for construction require very talented and precise woodworkers for finishing brightwork, cabinets, decks, interiors,etc. Just a thought. I wish you well Matthias in you future endeavors and I look forward to seeing your genious in upcoming videos. A new fan in Canada.
+Kevin Parker If you have been watching this channel for a year now, you must have realized that most of the equipment is home made so there is not a huge investment in tools. The video is 5 years old. I am sure you also realize that Mr. Wandel is retired from RIM (Blackberry) and no longer works as an Engineer inventing and patenting new technologies for telecommunications purposes. He has however invented the Pantorouter which is being manufactured in Japan.
Great to see where you make some of your videos really like the idea of a basement work shop like you ive got many pieces of machinery which are seldom used, I keep small pieces of wood you never know when you might need them,have you done a more up to date workshop video? really like your videos will keep on watching thanks
Nice shop, thanks for the tour! I wonder how long you spent cleaning the shop before the shoot :). It is great that you have shared so much with everyone, very generous indeed I know that this kind of knowledge can be hard earned.
Thanks for the tour. I appreciate that you explained what tools you use the most and the least, and that you mentioned how satisfied you are w/ each. Those are important things to know. I didn't see a woodworking vise or a traditional style woodworking bench. What's your opinion on the usefulness of those items?
As always a really interesting and informative video. I enjoy listening to you talking about why you do something and your reasoning. Do you have a family too and if so how do they cope with your workshop adventures? Thanks Matt.
considering you work so much with wood, have you looked at building some kind of dust/air separation filter like a baffle or cyclonic filter? your workshop always looks super clean (at least when compared to what i'm familiar with) and i was wondering if it was due to preparation or just really good dust removal.
Very clean… I notice your shop is in your basement, how do you manage fine dust? My shop is in my garage and at least once every other week I have to use a leaf blower to blow the fine dust off my equipment and shelves.
Great !!! Your videos are always great Matt ! Is that your permanent house now ? What are the dimensions of the the /basement shop ? And how cumbersome is to have to haul built stuff and materials in and out of that basement turned shop ?
If I wanted to set up a nice little workshop with a shoelace budget over several years, how should I proceed? What tools do you recon I should get first to do the basics and also help me build new tools and stuff you need at the shop? I'm thinking a drill press and a bandsaw would go a long way.
I failed to see it if you did post it, but just how big is your shop, in m2 or sq.feet? And what I did with the extension table was to put my router extension there instead, extending the runners from the table saw into the router table.
Hi Matthias, I've watched all your vids, great vids BTW, very helpful. Thought I'd ask if you might be able to give me some advice for a wood working issue Im having. Im have LOTS of 7/16" X 7/8" red oak stock to dowel the ends of, Having a heck of a time setting up my drill so that it wont move & go off center, bit wobble etc. I have 8' lengths but need 10'-16' lengths, small stock to just mitre & glue. Any advice from that creative mind of yours would be much appreciated. Thanks a bunch
@originalquene your concerned about the sustainability of a tiny amount of lumber in a woodworkers home workshop? who uses it al economically to creat great useful items of handcrafted furniture and things? this man is not even nearly a problem.
Do you have any sound proofing of any kind ? or sound absorption? And is there an echo to the room? it does sort of sound like it in the video but that might just be the camera.
Your videos are the only videos that I really don't mind watching all 12 minutes of

Thank you for taking the time to produce your videos. They help more people than you probably realize.
my god... you're a wood god!
i wouldn't be shocked if you told me that you built this entire workshop(and your house) with just a hammer, several thousand nails, and time.
I just realized you must be insanely high 100% of the time to be this clear headed. It's the only way that this'd work.
Nice to see where are your creations are born!
I love how you have mostly, as you said "Not very good" stuff but are still able to produce very good work with it. Guess its true a bad workman blames his tools...
that's the most awsome set-up for a workshop i've seen outside of television programs.
Awsome video!
I have to say I really enjoy your videos. I find you to be very informative and easy to listen to. When I first saw your vid on how to make gears I was hooked. Keep up the good work you have a fan here sir.
As the Germans would say "Ordnung muss sein!" And in your workshop the "Ordnung" is unbelievable! I envy you this workshop. Lots of machinery, lots of space. Very professionall. Like it!
I love how cozy your workshop looks
That's a pretty neat workshop. Nice, cozy, innovative, and neat place. Nice job!
I don't do much sanding. Planers produce a pretty good surface already.
You are a slightly strange,yet very interesting fellow. Your tool design's are amazing,I wish I was half as smart as you.
Your video's are always interesting to watch.
+ldg332004 You said exactly what I've always thought!
You should put a cross slide vice on one of the drill presses and turn it into a milling machine.
Yes, but mostly in terms of bumping my head against lights. For the actual work, hasn't been much of a problem.
Man that is a beautiful workshop! I wish i had one like this! absolutely sweet! best part are your homemade machines!
Well done. Originally viewed your awesome computer controlled box joint jig video and tenon jig of course it is accurate to a tolerance NASA would envy so I like it too. Nice tour.
I wish I were you. I can never make anything because I'm 14 and my dad doesn't have any saws or sanders. Just a drill. You have everything in that workshop. -sigh-
Nice shop you have there. I almost envy you.
Btw. Compressed air can be dangerous if blown to skin. You can get air bubbles in your vains.
Thanks for the tour of your shop! I like your thoughts on how you set up your work area. Thanks.
good lookin shop Matt. nice vid too. and caught alot of your other vids also. many nice projects. Alot of great looking homemade tools too along with all those jigs and other contraptions you made. keep up the good work and be safe doing it :) gl and God Bless.
@ironlionkalo Actually I think it's literally reflecting the wooden ceiling color. He has better photos of the jointer on his website, and it's pretty well polished.
A very nice workshop which I can only dream of having one similar to. Great video mate
Nice video! I enjoyed it. Thank you for the presentation.
You do very well for the space you have available!
It must be very difficult to film in a woodworking shop.
@chili231 It is true. There have been cases where air has got in blood system. We were always warned not to do that in school.
Much less than that. My most expensive machines were the table saw and the jointer, at under $800 each. The only other machines I bought new were the 14" bandsaw and the drill press.
All depends. without seeing what you are trying to do, can't give you meaningful advice. But some amount of drill wandering always happens.
Nice shop video, not bad at all for a basement shop!
God bless your talent, you're truly gifted.
Yes, it cost loads and loads. Almost half as much as an economy car.
i really enjoy watching you workshop video...in my country everything
is so expensive ...i cannot effort all those machine

+peggyt1243 whoa! I only knew he is an engineer. Thanks for the info.
Here's some history of the pantorouter and how it came into production... hybridpantorouter.com/about/
Do any of your other videos detail that ceiling? It looks like you can remove small planks to access the space between the joists. Very clever.
you should go and make a video of what is left of the asam brothers steam sawmill.
Todo muy limpio, muy bonito.
buen provecho.-
Thats an amazing workshop!
And you keep it really clean.
Wow
Great video. The flying spaghetti monster bless you.
Great to see where you make some of your videos really like the idea of a basement work shop like you ive got many pieces of machinery which are seldom used, I keep small pieces of wood you never know when you might need them,have you done a more up to date workshop video? really like your videos will keep on watching thanks

I just realize ive never gave likes to your videos. Sorry for that.
I love your channel.
Your workshop is cool. I want to have one too when I finish university. :)
Now you need a CNC mill, man :), nice workshop.
Nice work shop for a smaller space.
you are an amazing person, with great character and a kick ass workshop!! :D Keep up the great work!!
This is awesome. I can imagine the smell of wood in your workshop :D
I hope you think about that with the fuel whenever you travel. Trees grow back, fossil fuels don't.
Thats one clean shop
Reminds me of a cooler version of The New Yankee Workshop. Matthias FTW!
considering you work so much with wood, have you looked at building some kind of dust/air separation filter like a baffle or cyclonic filter?
your workshop always looks super clean (at least when compared to what i'm familiar with) and i was wondering if it was due to preparation or just really good dust removal.
Excellent workshop sir. We are motivated.
Nice space.
wow, what a great workshop! , btw, all your videos are awesome!
Very clean… I notice your shop is in your basement, how do you manage fine dust?
My shop is in my garage and at least once every other week I have to use a leaf blower to blow the fine dust off my equipment and shelves.
shoot with all those lights i bet it gets hot enough lol
im so jealous of your shop and skills!
what a monster of a shop !!!!!!!
Your thickness planer seems to be staged very low--is that on purpose for some reason?
@ 3:19 / 3:50 drawer on rollerblade wheels... brilliant! Anywhere on your site (great BTW) that shows that in more detail.?
keep up the good work!
it's very beautifull, perfect!!!
wonderful workshop
Wow really awesome shop!
awesome workshop!
Then you should watch my messy workshop video
Really clean workshop :)
I love this dunno why its like Sony wonder lab for me
See my article on beginning woodworking - woodgears.ca / beginner
Very nice, love your videos.
Great !!! Your videos are always great Matt !
Is that your permanent house now ? What are the dimensions of the the /basement shop ? And how cumbersome is to have to haul built stuff and materials in and out of that basement turned shop ?
man u are really creative
Its a nice workshop with some interesting ideas
que hermoso tu taller te felicito muy bueno
If I had built an awesome workshop up like that, I would be so paranoid about fire hazards :s
very nice video tour , thnks for the post
If I wanted to set up a nice little workshop with a shoelace budget over several years, how should I proceed? What tools do you recon I should get first to do the basics and also help me build new tools and stuff you need at the shop? I'm thinking a drill press and a bandsaw would go a long way.
I have a question.
Who do you go for sound advice for your projects?
Who are your wood working mentors?
Do you even use any of them?
very cool shop.
As always, an interesting video.
I failed to see it if you did post it, but just how big is your shop, in m2 or sq.feet?
And what I did with the extension table was to put my router extension there instead, extending the runners from the table saw into the router table.

HOW IS THIS GUY NOT PARTNER YET!!!!
Ok, well, then don't watch my videos either (I just blocked you)
great shop!
@originalquene your concerned about the sustainability of a tiny amount of lumber in a woodworkers home workshop? who uses it al economically to creat great useful items of handcrafted furniture and things? this man is not even nearly a problem.
this is why i wish i had a basement.
That was very interesting!
Do you have any sound proofing of any kind ? or sound absorption?
And is there an echo to the room? it does sort of sound like it in the video but that might just be the camera.
Can u please update your shop tour😀
I WANT YOUR DAD'S WORKSHOP
Very nice workshop :D
How did you attach the extensions on your table saw? Looks like you drilled into the table edges, then threaded it or put bolts through?
Updated workshop tour? :D
There have been a couple since this one! :-)
Thanks for posting this
Makes you wonder if that Sean Keys can read. Just a thought.
Interesting tour. Thanks.
just... wow!
matthias do you have any idea to make a CNC machine.
THIS GUY. IS. SO. COOL!
Thank you for this video!
Nice shop! How large is it?
