Matthias, you have a truly, truly unique gift. My life is enriched by the way you share your insights and projects with us. Your family's lives are clearly blessed also. My favorite part of the whole video is the look on your sister-in-law's face when you were over there test fitting it. She looks like she is just blown away by your project. Money couldn't have bought them such a perfect gate. One day, you'll be on the cover of Time Magazine.
You are just an unbelievable wood genius. I have watched several of your videos and seriously on every occassion I have been blown away with your amazing gift and ease of getting it done with the most of simplest wood working tools. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
I am from Egypt and I have no idea about woodworking and yet I love to watch your work and videos and how you solve problems like these! great job Matthias!
That's pretty ingenious and yet still so simple. I'm almost surprised that something like this isn't on the consumer market. Though, it's so much more satisfying when you make something yourself. I wish I had the room for a wood shop like that.
That is a superb solution to the problem. You really should consider selling that design, I bet one of the baby product manufacturers would love a design like that.
I really like that solution. It shows the benefits of a custom made solution. Love the way you minimised the fixings, Baby gates are temporary. Buy a blasted countersink, you know it makes sense.
I've been getting into wood working lately and gotta say. Your videos are really inspiring and motivating for me. Sometimes a little too complicating and technical. But still something to strive for. Thanks
Matthias, it's one thing to be a Master wood working marvel, but its quite another to also be an Engineer and be able to design. Your Great dude.!!! Thanks
+Ryan Taylor I think it is too obscure for a company to jump on. Also, the tolerances would be somewhat prohibitive. The parallelogram style leaves no room for error. Cool idea though.
+Bob Hannah So many projects ARE custom fit, so why should this be any different? I'm in need of two baby gates, not on stairs, but in areas where there aren't any available right now that would even come close to fitting, even with some rigging, so any ideas are worth it to me.
Exactly what I was thinking. What kind of jerk / idiot dislikes a video like this? I can understand if you're not into wood working or kids not wanting to watch his video but really you dislike a video like this? Come on!!!
My 2 year old daughter has inherited my love of adventure, and thus is hard to keep at the bottom of the stairs. I think I've just figured out my weekend plans. Brilliant concept!
PERFECT!!!!! I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, my son JUST started climbing stairs and we have gate at the top but not at the bottom. This solution is FANTASTIC! cute kid! :)
Excellent hun. I once made the same, for the door, in my motorhome, to stop my blind dog getting out, and fresh air in. The space was very limited, so it worked idea.
Great Reply Matthias, They also say a sure fired way to become a millionaire in the housing market is to start out as a billionaire. Great job on the baby gate as always, definitely a great way to protect the youngsters. You Sir are an inspiration to all woodworkers. Thanks for the video's.
BACK TO YOUR BEST MATT! Awesome when you build with your brain. Clever man, mean to babies, but clever. Although... I did expect a custom spring mechanism that opens it automatically and swings it up on the stair angle at the same time - lol. Gr8 video thanks. Good to have you back.
Great. This is nearly exactly what I need for my 10 month old son who's also geeting more and more mobile. Additionally I need a whole in the gate for our cat. But that should be easy to do with one or two shorter spindles and a short extra horizontal rail in the gate.
Your videos and projects are amazing. I keep watching them. You make/do so many clever things. I hope I'll be able to make one percent of it during the next twenty years. By the way, nice to see your wife on the video for a split second.
Looks like it will stay, but just because I love them, I would use 2 small neodymium magnets to hold it against the wall. One in the wood and one on the wall. Maybe held with a dab of hot glue so it could be heated and removed without much or any damage to the wall. Very awesome Matthias!!
Butchers wax. I've just incorporated it into my work truck (finish carpentry) and I'm amazed of all the weird little uses its had so far. Love the vid cute kid!
Beautiful gate! Did you eventually have to put in an additional locking mechanism? My kids would have figured that out after a few weeks of trial and error.
Matthias Wandel hi I have shown your channel to my grandad and you enspire us both with your great ideas My grandad is very jealous of your workshop so am I but the best thing is you enspire us all. I hope you enjoy reading this comment you should be proud of yourself mate :D Keep up the good work to.
Actually this is much simpler than i thought it would be, but it's only the practical side. If i had to come up with the idea, i probably wouldn't be able. It's just so genius, how you solve things.
да, конечно мы следим за Вашим творчеством. Ждем новых видеороликов, спасибо! когда ребенок подрастет то научится приподнимать эту дверь, нужен надежный фиксатор.
Standard railing and stair building code here in San Francisco, states that a 4" sphere cannot pass anywhere thru the guard rail. (That pretty much covers kids too!)
Thats a cool baby gate i could use something like that to stop my dog getting up the stairs as he sometimes tries to get into our loft space. A parallelogram gate would be ideal for me as the bottom of my stair well is just a small 3 feet by 3 feet space before you have to turn to get into the hallway of the house so there is no space for the baby gate :D
Nice, I like it. Them baby gates that expand across with a bottom rail, how many times have I tripped and almost fallen up and down the stairs with them, GRRR.
As a father of six. I gotta say this is a sweet idea! Awesome Job!
genius, sir you have serious skills, a wood master
Oh, as they say, you could make a small fortune with woodworking. But you have to start with a large fortune.
Matthias, you have a truly, truly unique gift. My life is enriched by the way you share your insights and projects with us. Your family's lives are clearly blessed also.

You know Gavin, I agree.
Oh man, lol. Of course my toddler would comment on the video about baby gates. Guess I better put a password on my phone
I am from Egypt and I have no idea about woodworking and yet I love to watch your work and videos and how you solve problems like these! great job Matthias!

Matthias you are nothing short of a Genius ! Excellent job, and to see it serving its purpose was priceless !
I really like that solution. It shows the benefits of a custom made solution. Love the way you minimised the fixings, Baby gates are temporary. Buy a blasted countersink, you know it makes sense.
i just love this guy. he has some really amazing ideas!! god bless him!
I've been getting into wood working lately and gotta say. Your videos are really inspiring and motivating for me. Sometimes a little too complicating and technical. But still something to strive for. Thanks
Matthias, it's one thing to be a Master wood working marvel, but its quite another to also be an Engineer and be able to design. Your Great dude.!!! Thanks
If you haven't already, you should get a provisional patent and sell this idea.
+Ryan Taylor I think it is too obscure for a company to jump on. Also, the tolerances would be somewhat prohibitive. The parallelogram style leaves no room for error. Cool idea though.
+Bob Hannah So many projects ARE custom fit, so why should this be any different? I'm in need of two baby gates, not on stairs, but in areas where there aren't any available right now that would even come close to fitting, even with some rigging, so any ideas are worth it to me.
This idea has existed for decades.
There are identical products you can buy everywhere. Pretty sure they had this more than half a century ago.
Patents are cancer.
If you have such an amazing idea, execute it better than another would.
Copycats won't outsell you if your product is superior.
perhaps you could have waxed the pivots to make them not creek
Yes, I would see the problem of having a creek at the bottom of the stairs, it would cause water damage and possibly flood the house.
+RC Central you're such an ass and I really admire it :) that's exactly what I would say
Dear Ass King,
I try my best to be the assiest ass possible, Thankyou.
Corassinally yours,
RC Central.
powder or chalk is better. or as the wax buffs in, itll creak more
Dillon DeSalvo i havent laughed that hard for awhile. thanks!
Easy. Put concrete in bucket, use wooden stick to stir it. Done!
A beautiful child has a mechanical genius for an uncle who shares his giftedness on TH-cam, and eight stupid people don't like this video.
Exactly what I was thinking. What kind of jerk / idiot dislikes a video like this? I can understand if you're not into wood working or kids not wanting to watch his video but really you dislike a video like this? Come on!!!
they probably hav an ugly baby and can't do wood stuff
True
My 2 year old daughter has inherited my love of adventure, and thus is hard to keep at the bottom of the stairs. I think I've just figured out my weekend plans. Brilliant concept!
Great work Matthias. Clever as usual! I'm sure the parents are pleased with the product.
PERFECT!!!!! I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, my son JUST started climbing stairs and we have gate at the top but not at the bottom. This solution is FANTASTIC! cute kid! :)
awesome, totally awesome ! you, Ron Walters and Chris Hadfield are 3 awesome Canadians..This has been a great week.
This is fantastic, when the baby outgrows it, its makes a really neat clothes dryer for the laundry room.
Bravo. That's a lucky boy with such an inventive uncle as yourself. Top marks. 😊
excelente idea, como siempre un reconocimiento a su trabajo
This is such an elegant and beautiful solution!
I made one of these when my baby started attempting the stairs. Great idea! Thanks
Matthias, Great project, your brother is very lucky to have you.
Another necessity being the Mother of Invention project well done!!
Very creative and practical! Nice job!!
Excellent hun. I once made the same, for the door, in my motorhome, to stop my blind dog getting out, and fresh air in. The space was very limited, so it worked idea.
So happy to see somebody using a "manual" screwdriver.
Great Reply Matthias, They also say a sure fired way to become a millionaire in the housing market is to start out as a billionaire. Great job on the baby gate as always, definitely a great way to protect the youngsters. You Sir are an inspiration to all woodworkers. Thanks for the video's.
It is amazing what you can build with proper tools!
I loved his baby. Congratulations! I appreciate your Good job with woods. Thanks.
You have a gift, Matthias, for simple, elegant solutions... Chuck
Wow agian. that Nephew is very lucky I can,t wait to see all the cool toys you will make for him.
You are a genius, sir. Hats off!
Let's hope that action is only operated by adults. The top bar is actually wide enough, you don't even touch the spindles.
this is seriously the best one... damn So Smart!
BACK TO YOUR BEST MATT! Awesome when you build with your brain. Clever man, mean to babies, but clever. Although... I did expect a custom spring mechanism that opens it automatically and swings it up on the stair angle at the same time - lol. Gr8 video thanks. Good to have you back.

By the way, nice to see your wife on the video for a split second.
Mathias, you sir are an ingenious woodworker!
Brilliant, as always, thanks for making the videos Matthias...
Looks like it will stay, but just because I love them, I would use 2 small neodymium magnets to hold it against the wall. One in the wood and one on the wall. Maybe held with a dab of hot glue so it could be heated and removed without much or any damage to the wall. Very awesome Matthias!!
Butchers wax. I've just incorporated it into my work truck (finish carpentry) and I'm amazed of all the weird little uses its had so far. Love the vid cute kid!
I love watching and learning from your video's.
Nice job.. I don't have time to see all your videos but when I do . I enjoy seeing them !
This guy does it like a BOSS!
Beautiful job, "grate" design and execution.
Creaky yet awesome as always!
Only lifting opens it up. Let's hope that by the time the kid is able to figure it out and do it, he'll also manage the stairs.
That was a pretty neat little solution you came up with. Kinda looked like your nephew was about to take a number there at the end.
Such a cute kid. Such a cool project. I love your videos.
what a great idea. well done matthias.
Ola Matthias , uau ,cadeia para bebês ! Brincadeira .
Muito bom , aliás como sempre . Parabéns
Ah , Ukulele também muito bom !
Slick solution and a pleasure to watch.
Never heard of it . What is it?
Excellent job....love your workshop!
Hey! What a cute child! Thanks for the idea!
Beautiful gate! Did you eventually have to put in an additional locking mechanism? My kids would have figured that out after a few weeks of trial and error.
Again, another nice piece of work!
ótimo projeto, parabéns!!!!
matthias i love ur work, u work real precisely keep it up
Matthias Wandel hi I have shown your channel to my grandad and you enspire us both with your great ideas
My grandad is very jealous of your workshop so am I but the best thing is you enspire us all.
I hope you enjoy reading this comment you should be proud of yourself mate :D
Keep up the good work to.

protect a baby was what occupied my last carpentry projects.
Man, I wish I had an uncle as cool as this!
You are awesome! As usual, great job. Thank you!
Such a cute baby!
Very Clever, and fine craftsmanship.
как всегда просто и гениально. У вас есть несколько подписчиков из России.
да, конечно мы следим за Вашим творчеством. Ждем новых видеороликов, спасибо!
когда ребенок подрастет то научится приподнимать эту дверь, нужен надежный фиксатор.
you are unbelievable!
congratulations, man....
Ha, that would have been soo cool. He now stands up with just one hand holding a bit, but to rub a cup against bars - that may take a while.
Fantastic project!
Fantastic design!
Nifty piece of work!
oh gosh the baby is so cute~ XD Thats an awesome innovation you've got there.
Not sure if it's necessary. By the time they figure out how to cicrument baby gates, they aren't that much of a risk on the stairs anymore either.
Matthias, another awesome idea!
Damn that's a cool design. Never seen something like that before.
everybody gangsta until the baby learns that squares can be parallelograms and opens the gate
What a cute baby!
I really enjoy your videos! Thanks
Ahhh, I wish I had seen this like three months ago when I realized it was time to put in baby gates on our steps!
I like what you did a LOT ! This is very clever. Whats your job ?
Cute baby... Nice gate... He will be able to lift it sooner than you think. I'm sure you will solve that when the time comes...
Love your work and thanks for sharing the high quality video :)
Standard railing and stair building code here in San Francisco, states that a 4" sphere cannot pass anywhere thru the guard rail. (That pretty much covers kids too!)
Such a great idea!!
Very clever. As all of your inventions. Keep them coming! :D
Great stuff - our son is in the same age!
Thats a cool baby gate i could use something like that to stop my dog getting up the stairs as he sometimes tries to get into our loft space. A parallelogram gate would be ideal for me as the bottom of my stair well is just a small 3 feet by 3 feet space before you have to turn to get into the hallway of the house so there is no space for the baby gate :D
I am so enjoying to whatch your videos, thank you
Markus (my brother) already made one.
Wow. This is so cool.
Beautiful home.
La haré para mi nieto Gracias!! Saludos.
Silvia Sánchez
very cool ideas you have man. keep up the great work
Nice, I like it. Them baby gates that expand across with a bottom rail, how many times have I tripped and almost fallen up and down the stairs with them, GRRR.
I love it Great idea. and nice work.
