Matthais, you don't need to apologise for charging for plans. I'd gladly pay for the plans for this when I have time to build it. Your plans for the tilting router were well worth the money - easy to read and full instructions at a very reasonable price. I'm also happy to see you're follow up video. I learnt a couple of new things tonight. I'd never thought of making a box joint with a thin kerf blade. That small box was very nice indeed.
Besides, for something like this and only charging $12 is VERY cheap, the amount of work required to develop these plans... It should be more expensive IMO
My main video about my screw advance box joint jig wasn't up to my standards anymore, so shot a new one. Sorry, no new project this week, I'm on vacation :)
you are a great inventor !!! machines make your work much easier !! one question ... if I buy the plans to perform some come with Spanish translation !? Greetings from Argentina !!
Gustavo Adrian Ferreyra Gustavo no sé de dónde sos, pero yo estoy por animarme en cualquier momento a comprarle este plano a Mathias para hacerlo, aunque mi experiencia como carpintero es más bien amateur/medio, si no te parece atrevido de mi parte, te propongo que si no estamos muy alejados tratemos de hacerlo juntos, necesito que alguien me ayude! Por supuesto que hacemos un o para cada uno de nosotros!
Matthias, you are welcome to charge for anything you want. I don't recall ever seeing a commercial on your videos, they always entertain or educate me. Thank you so much for your time and effort.
Matthias, Please don't apologize for charging for your hard work or ideas. You provide oodles of free content. Those who truly want to utilize the part of your genius and designs that you want compensation for will gladly pay for the privilege...enough said. Cheers, John
Please don't be sorry. Your plans are well worth the price and I've learned so much from you that I owe you more than just the price of your affordable plans.
Mathais don't apologies I have purchased these plans from you and built this jig. It is an excellent piece of kit and a very clear set of plans that is worth every penny of the small fee you charge. There is a huge amount of work gone into it and you put a hell of a lot of free content out there. Thanks again for all you inspiration!
I just purchased the plans. JESUS! 12 USD is absolutely nothing for all the effort you put into making all that detailed material. The problem is that internet has spoiled mankind. People don't want to pay for nothing nowadays. If it was for like 20 years ago you could easily charge 30 or even 50 bucks. Gonna try to build it. Might be a little difficult to find all the stuff here in Sweden but I'll try anyway. Thank you!
No need to apologise for charging for the plans, your videos are very informative and give good idea. There is enough detail in every video to build each of your jigs if someone wants. The plans are a good short cut for someone to avoid having to redesign and small donation to your efforts is fine.
These plans are well worth the price as they are very detailed. Detailed build videos are added bonus so it is hard to go wrong. I recently bought someone else's box joint plans for same price that had no build videos and they were awful. It made me appreciate the value of MW's plans even more. Thank you for keeping your plans so reasonably priced.
Matthias, I purchased your plans for this box joint jig, the pantorouter, and the router lift/tilt. I have made the first two. I believe both were above my skill level at the time. However, thanks to you I now can build and have built multiple box joints and I just completed my sofa table using, for the first time for me, mortise and tenon joints. Thank you Thank you Thank you for sharing these inventions and charging so very little money. Thank you for the detailed pictures and video you took the time to make. It got me through both projects. I always look forward to your new videos as well as reviewing past ones. You have changed the way I build for the better and I am grateful!
Wow...just wow!!! Very impressive. I know I’m about 3 years late to the party here but you should NOT apologize for charging for plans. Especially for a device like this.
I just got started in woodworking- building my own cabinets for a bar, building a trunk, etc, and am learning more and more as I go. I came on your videos. You are a genious! You screw advance box joint jig is incredible. I am going to enjoy watching all your videos in the next few months and hopefully can learn a few things. Thank you for sharing.
This jig does 2 things most box joint jigs can't. It cuts all 4 boards at the same time. That saves a huge amount of time! The 2nd thing is it cuts a large variety of pin widths. This is the best you can get for a home shop.
Just finished my SABJJ and made a few test joints and LOVE IT! I'm in the process of building a small workshop in my garage but I still need to make the drawers. I built he SABJJ for just that purpose and I'm so glad I did! It was also fun to build for a new woodworker. I'm still wrapping my head around the math but I figure with use it'll get easier. Mahalo Matthias!
physicsguybrian да ноя предпочитаю у нас произвести упор на правляющию для пилы потомучто незнаю сколько вазьмут ребята SUOMI и наше производство должнобыть жошсе
I LOVE YOU MATTHIAS! You're an amazing woodworker and the engineering that goes into your work is just absolutely amazing, if I had the tools and resources to build that jig I'd have no problem paying for that! Well done!
never apologize for charging.....you EARN it with that very smart brain of yours....and I really was wowed by the tiny box joint you made with such fine fingers........Thanks for sharing !
Lieber Matthias! Ich möchte mich an dieser Stelle mal ganz herzlich für Deine großartigen Videos bedanken. Durch sie hab ich viel gelernt. Ich wünsch Dir einen schönen Urlaub! Schöne Grüße aus Österreich!
This jig is incredibly well designed and thought out. I will add my comment to all the others that it is well worth the price. Note that you don't HAVE to do lots of complicated math. So far, I use a 1/4" dado blade for all my box joints, and therefore only have one gear and one jig setup... But it is nice to have the capability backing me up for when I ever want to do more! Thanks for designing this Matthias!
wordsnwood I have the incra i-box jig and while it works very well and is fairly simple to use it also is more limited. It will only cut boards up to 1" thick and is limited to 1/8 to 3/4 inch pin widths. You also can't cut both matching pieces at the same time. I am eventually going to get these plans and build this jig.
Brilliant and very clever jig. Don't apologize for charging for plans. The only ones whining about that would be the ones who have no clue what kind of effort those joints are by hand, let alone making a jig to automate it.
Just bought the plans and your big print program. I'm grateful you released both and plan on picking up future plans. You're an interesting person with some much deserved praise. Thank you.
how can people complain that you have to pay for it. look at this beast! I love your boxjoint videos. Only reason I haven't bought the plans yet is because I need a bandsaw to make the sprockets, bidding on one and hopefully pick it up this weekend!
I purchased your plans and built the jig. I love it! Just finished today. Now I’m trying to figure out how to use it. I’m studying your other video on how to set it up. Thanks!
Nice concise video! Although I have seen this jig in operation before, this video help clarify some things. Having seen the great care and detail you put into your plans, I am certain whatever you charge for the plans is a bargain!
Wow. Just clicked on the link for his plans. Absolutely phenomenal. If anyone out there is on the fence as to whether this guy is a genius or not, look at the plans he's put up for this box joint invention of his. Holy smokes. Now, I'm not saying he's perfect. After all, he puts *vegetable oil* on his cutting boards. ~groan~ But he's about as impressive a woodworker as you're ever likely to meet--or watch on UA-cam.
I like this box joint jig. It is on my list of things to make some day. I have struggled getting a box joint to come out correctly and tried to make my own table saw jig prior to having seen this one. It sort of worked but not anywhere as good as the Wandel Wonder one.
Sir, don't apologize for charging a fee for the plans. All the time and trouble of making it, cut list, putting it on paper and then on the computer. I'm sure I'm missing some other things that you had to do to get this ready for people to purchase. Thanks for the video and take care, David
The great thing about this jig is that the threaded rod prevents cumulative error. The other "notch type" jigs, can stretch or shrink the spacing, after doing many fingers. With Matthias's jig, the fingers are registered to the threaded rod, no matter how wide the joint is. The wider your board = the more fingers, the greater potential for cumulative error.
Hello Matthias, I started by looking for videos on how to use a router and stumbled upon one of your videos. I just wanted to say that you sir are awesome, keep up the great work!!! I will more than likely be buying some of your plans once i move into my new house sometime next:)
Matthias: I've been watching a lot of your videos lately, and find them fascinating! I applaud your ingenuity and resourcefulness. It is inspiring to witness. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience, and best of luck in all of your endeavors!
No apologies needed about charging the small amounts that you do! Your stuff in ingenious and fun. If folks just want freebie material all the time then they should go elsewhere! Thanks
I'm very impressed with your jig and the ingenuity of its design. Since it lends itself to quickly and easily cutting finger joints I was wondering if you have ever tried cutting finger joints for the bottom of a box all the way around (in addition to the corners). It would be a neat look I think.
Do not apologise for anything. For what the banks have done to us and it's a lot more than $12 you sir should get the highest prize in the land for what you are showing on the internet Thank you for a great video
Hi Matthias, I really like your channel and the costs for the plans are totally reasonable. Your ideas are inspired. Keep up the great work. I look forward to all you vids and you haven't disappointed yet.
He says, "I'm sorry, they do cost money. I do charge for some things." However, it's twelve bucks. He WAY under values himself. This guys is incredible!
Hi Matthias, Have you ever tried using a stepper motor in place of the wood gears? I like the wood gears, but I also like how you explained how the induction motor works. It would be really neat to be able to type in two numbers in a display (one for the cut and one for the space) and then just push a button to advance the box jig.
No need to apologize for charging money for plans. It's excellent work, and you must have put a lot of effort into it. There's enough info in the videos for people to figure it all out without paying a dime if they want to put in their own effort. If they want a shortcut the cost is trivial.
Para Gustavo Adrian Ferreyra: ¿Serías tan amable de decirme cual es ese modo de traducir? Desde ya gracias por la molestia que te tomes, acabo de subscribirme a tu canal
Apologizing for spending your time, (a lot of it) to design, a product and then sell the plans? Dont. If people dont want to pay then thats their loss. You are providing a service.
AND IT WAS SOME OF THE BEST MONEY I HAVE EVER SPENT ...AND ONE OF THE COOLEST BUILDS AND TOOL I HAVE EVER MADE ...WELL WORTH EVERY CENT... THANKS MATTHIAS
Hi Matthias I just got the plans and I'm assembling the components - it's going to be a nice project to work on and mega useful! Thanks so much for putting together a wonderful set of plans ans instructions. Just wondering... any reason why have you got the gears on the left not the right? Are you left handed? Would it be safe to reverse the design? Thanks! David.
Hello Matthias, I just found your channel tonight. I found your videos while looking for an easy way to make variable box joints. The initial thought was to build some bee-hives during this winter to start bee-keeping next year. Than I found you and got really motivated to work with wood. For now I mostly worked with metal (did my training as a mechatronics technician and work now as a service monteur on wind turbines). I did some woodworking at school years ago and am now about to start again with that. While looking for a new tablesaw (my father owns a ATIKA HT 315, which is pretty crap, only good enough for firewood), I thought of going for this Delta saw you use, but I saw, Delta works only on the american market. Maybe you can give me the exact type of the saw? I want to check out the features of the saw on the website. As I live in Germany, I am not able to import one of this saws (different power supply). So I'm looking for a similar european saw. Can U tell me, if the FESTOOL Precisio CS70 would work with the box joint jig? Of course I'd need a little table extension. Or do you know a good table saw from METABO, FESTOOL or mafell, that would work for precise wood-working? I don't really need a large format saw, 'cause I can use an old machine at my brother-in-laws workshop for very large plates. I am also thinking about converting that idea into metrical measures because here in Germany almost everyone is working with meters and inch just converted to mm would give some very crooked measures. I would like to make some of them like a little serial production, what do you think of that? Of course you would get a premium or so, details could be discussed on a more private conversation, not here in open chat. Sorry for this wall of text, am looking forward for an answer from your side. Yours, Alfred Petker
Have you ever coincided using a stepper motor on the shaft, and a simple interface where you just set the with of the joins? It wouldn't cost much and you wouldn't need the gears anymore.
Hey I've recently been thinking about the Monty Hall problem and although the theory that switching doors seems to make sense, I wondered if you could build a simple computer out of wood to test the hypothesis. It only needs a few inputs and randomization. You're well equipped to figure it out I should think and it would be really cool to try.
I know it would be complicated to implement the computer revealing the dummy door, which requires an input that would reveal the location of the prize door to the machine so it doesn't reveal the prize by accident, but again you seem to be very well equipped to figure it out. Furthermore it would be a great help to mathematics.
what id like to know is, Mathias, what do you do for a job? do you make furniture? design stuff? or are you well off and don't need to work and just like woodworking as a hobby? Ever think of getting into metal working?
Do you use a spiral bit? My standard one results in tear-out of the fingers however carefully I go about it with my basic jig - so I'm loathe to devote time to creating this sophisticated jig!
Hi Matthias! My father is just amazed with your work, he already bought and used lots of your plans! I wanted to ask you for a link to this spacing table that you're using on 1:03. I see it says that it can be found online, but I just can't find my way around. Thanks!
I don't see why everyone thinks this could be "Simplified" any... how hard it is to change a gear or to mark with a piece of tape where the next stop is? its just like anything else, set up. Once the job is set up you can just bang it out, no worries. the only other thing I can see doing differently is making a paper cut out you can glue to the main gear that has all the markings on it or that's just blank and you can just check off the position in pencil instead of using tape.
Haha only in Canada does somebody apologise for rightfully charging people for a copy of their intellectual property ;) Well maybe down here in NZ as well, it is said that we are the Canada of the southern hemisphere!
Kolby, glad to hear that about Kiwis. Was looking into a place to emigrate to in the southern hemisphere a little while ago, and NZ was my first thought; nuclear free zone and all. My impression that NZ represented a kind of integrity. Then, my reading on the web seemed to tell me that Americans are detested there, so why go where we are not wanted?
Great jig I have to say. It was fun building it. But I use my own simple method w/o any jig. That way I can carry the wood pieces with me to a friend and do not have to carry the whole jig.
Matthais, you don't need to apologise for charging for plans. I'd gladly pay for the plans for this when I have time to build it. Your plans for the tilting router were well worth the money - easy to read and full instructions at a very reasonable price.

I adore your standards.

I agree. If you cannot spend 12 dollars on the plans, how on earth did you get the machines. Or the wood?
IMHO, no need to apologize for the plans costing money, especially when it's such a high-quality jig. I hope you sell a ton of these! Kudos to you.
No need to apologise for charging for the plans, your videos are very informative and give good idea. There is enough detail in every video to build each of your jigs if someone wants. The plans are a good short cut for someone to avoid having to redesign and small donation to your efforts is fine.

Don't apologise for charging for your time, effort and knowledge. These are resources you've invested and you deserve a return on them.
Typical canadians.
Jack Lewis Is that supposed to be funny?

I absolutely agree with you. these things take time and should be able to sell the idea.
You're Amazing ! I'm not a woodworker but am absolutely enjoying your videos.You're a genius.
I LOVE YOU MATTHIAS! You're an amazing woodworker and the engineering that goes into your work is just absolutely amazing, if I had the tools and resources to build that jig I'd have no problem paying for that! Well done!

ps: Woodworkers rave about the Incra i-box jig, which costs around $150... This is far cheaper.
wordsnwood
I have the incra i-box jig and while it works very well and is fairly simple to use it also is more limited. It will only cut boards up to 1" thick and is limited to 1/8 to 3/4 inch pin widths. You also can't cut both matching pieces at the same time. I am eventually going to get these plans and build this jig.
I keep coming back to this video.
The lighting on this video is fantastic, video is in focus.
All youtube posters should see this as an example.
Brilliant and very clever jig. Don't apologize for charging for plans. The only ones whining about that would be the ones who have no clue what kind of effort those joints are by hand, let alone making a jig to automate it.
No need to apologize for charging money Matthias. Your providing a very valuable product. Thank You! Cheers!
Just bought the plans and your big print program. I'm grateful you released both and plan on picking up future plans. You're an interesting person with some much deserved praise. Thank you.
how can people complain that you have to pay for it. look at this beast! I love your boxjoint videos. Only reason I haven't bought the plans yet is because I need a bandsaw to make the sprockets, bidding on one and hopefully pick it up this weekend!
I purchased your plans and built the jig. I love it! Just finished today. Now I’m trying to figure out how to use it. I’m studying your other video on how to set it up. Thanks!
Nice concise video!
Although I have seen this jig in operation before, this video help clarify some things.
Having seen the great care and detail you put into your plans, I am certain whatever you charge for the plans is a bargain!
Wow. Just clicked on the link for his plans. Absolutely phenomenal. If anyone out there is on the fence as to whether this guy is a genius or not, look at the plans he's put up for this box joint invention of his. Holy smokes.
Now, I'm not saying he's perfect. After all, he puts *vegetable oil* on his cutting boards. ~groan~ But he's about as impressive a woodworker as you're ever likely to meet--or watch on UA-cam.
I put this on a playlist to watch later when i have my own home. really like this jig. Thanks for the good videos
Your videos are inspiring :-)
Never feel guilty about charging for an honestly good service
Enjoy your break Matthias. You've earned it!
I like this box joint jig. It is on my list of things to make some day. I have struggled getting a box joint to come out correctly and tried to make my own table saw jig prior to having seen this one. It sort of worked but not anywhere as good as the Wandel Wonder one.
Sir, don't apologize for charging a fee for the plans. All the time and trouble of making it, cut list, putting it on paper and then on the computer. I'm sure I'm missing some other things that you had to do to get this ready for people to purchase. Thanks for the video and take care, David
You are way to smart for me! I love watching your videos, I could never make the stuff you do but its fun trying.
The great thing about this jig is that the threaded rod prevents cumulative error.
The other "notch type" jigs, can stretch or shrink the spacing, after doing many fingers.
With Matthias's jig, the fingers are registered to the threaded rod, no matter how wide the joint is.
The wider your board = the more fingers, the greater potential for cumulative error.
dont apologize! you put A LOT of thought and effort into it.
Hello Matthias,
I started by looking for videos on how to use a router and stumbled upon one of your videos. I just wanted to say that you sir are awesome, keep up the great work!!! I will more than likely be buying some of your plans once i move into my new house sometime next:)
week.. haha
Looks like it was very warm down in your basement.
Nice box joint jig. Seems very practical once you got it.
Matthias: I've been watching a lot of your videos lately, and find them fascinating! I applaud your ingenuity and resourcefulness. It is inspiring to witness. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience, and best of luck in all of your endeavors!
No apologies needed about charging the small amounts that you do! Your stuff in ingenious and fun. If folks just want freebie material all the time then they should go elsewhere! Thanks
Matthias, I just posted a video using your screw advance box joint jig! worked Perfectly! just wanted to share! thank you !
I see absolutely no reason to apologize for charging for your hard work. I've always found this device fascinating.
I built a jig too, best couple of bucks I've ever spent, worth every penny Matthias
I'm very impressed with your jig and the ingenuity of its design. Since it lends itself to quickly and easily cutting finger joints I was wondering if you have ever tried cutting finger joints for the bottom of a box all the way around (in addition to the corners). It would be a neat look I think.
I have wanted this for awhile! The "Complicated" portion of it has had me in limbo for awhile. It appears to work great though!
Do not apologise for anything. For what the banks have done to us and it's a lot more than $12 you sir should get the highest prize in the land for what you are showing on the internet Thank you for a great video
Matthias's most impressive works to me are not the finished pieces he builds, but the tools he makes to create those pieces.
Why do you have to apologize? Things cost money. Your talent, time and effort developing stuff and putting videos online cost money too.
I like last part in which you say "I'm sorry but they do cost money, I do charge for some things". You are right!
Love your videos, you are a true engineer and an inspiration.
Project idea: wooden hot tub.
Hi Matthias, I really like your channel and the costs for the plans are totally reasonable. Your ideas are inspired. Keep up the great work. I look forward to all you vids and you haven't disappointed yet.
He says, "I'm sorry, they do cost money. I do charge for some things." However, it's twelve bucks. He WAY under values himself. This guys is incredible!
I have always liked this jig design of yours, very much worth the investment for the plans.
I've only recently come across your videos mate such an interesting channel, keep up the good work :D
Matthias Wandel don't apologize for charging mate - it's an awesome jig.
Hi Matthias,
Have you ever tried using a stepper motor in place of the wood gears? I like the wood gears, but I also like how you explained how the induction motor works. It would be really neat to be able to type in two numbers in a display (one for the cut and one for the space) and then just push a button to advance the box jig.
this is awesome. I hope to have a project that needs this one day
Gotta reward the engineering it took to do this so yeah, a small cost and an awesome jig :)
Just need to make a table saw now :P
I have been wanting to build one for a long time. Maybe this winter I'll find the time.
No need to apologize for charging money for plans. It's excellent work, and you must have put a lot of effort into it. There's enough info in the videos for people to figure it all out without paying a dime if they want to put in their own effort. If they want a shortcut the cost is trivial.
c'est normal de payer pour cette belle réalisation.
Bravo.
you are an ingenious fellow! I hope you are also a happy fellow?
do not compromise your talent! great videos as usual!
Thank you

AND IT WAS SOME OF THE BEST MONEY I HAVE EVER SPENT ...AND ONE OF THE COOLEST BUILDS AND TOOL I HAVE EVER MADE ...WELL WORTH EVERY CENT...
THANKS MATTHIAS
Matt don't worry about promoting your own product. I wish you good luck :) thumbs up.
I love the clock in the bakground at 3:55
Hi Matthias I just got the plans and I'm assembling the components - it's going to be a nice project to work on and mega useful! Thanks so much for putting together a wonderful set of plans ans instructions. Just wondering... any reason why have you got the gears on the left not the right? Are you left handed? Would it be safe to reverse the design? Thanks! David.
No particular reason. But I prefer to push the sled with my right hand, not my left hand. If you flip it, you have to push it with your left hand.
it's just fair that you charge money for the work you put into making the plans, don't worry too much about it
dude your solid going to watch how you make this jig and try it myself thank you very much for your insight
Hello Matthias, I just found your channel tonight.
I found your videos while looking for an easy way to make variable box joints. The initial thought was to build some bee-hives during this winter to start bee-keeping next year. Than I found you and got really motivated to work with wood. For now I mostly worked with metal (did my training as a mechatronics technician and work now as a service monteur on wind turbines).

So I'm looking for a similar european saw. Can U tell me, if the FESTOOL Precisio CS70 would work with the box joint jig?
Of course I'd need a little table extension. Or do you know a good table saw from METABO, FESTOOL or mafell, that would work for precise wood-working? I don't really need a large format saw, 'cause I can use an old machine at my brother-in-laws workshop for very large plates.
I am also thinking about converting that idea into metrical measures because here in Germany almost everyone is working with meters and inch just converted to mm would give some very crooked measures.
I would like to make some of them like a little serial production, what do you think of that? Of course you would get a premium or so, details could be discussed on a more private conversation, not here in open chat.
Sorry for this wall of text, am looking forward for an answer from your side.
Yours, Alfred Petker
Very nice jig worth building if you make a lot of box joints.
Have you ever coincided using a stepper motor on the shaft, and a simple interface where you just set the with of the joins?
It wouldn't cost much and you wouldn't need the gears anymore.
Hey I've recently been thinking about the Monty Hall problem and although the theory that switching doors seems to make sense, I wondered if you could build a simple computer out of wood to test the hypothesis. It only needs a few inputs and randomization. You're well equipped to figure it out I should think and it would be really cool to try.
Great Matthias !
Great videos !
Any money amount charged it's more then fair.
Big fan of your work !
I really apreciate your videos...very encouriging for my projects and work studies...thanx
How very Canadian to apologize for charging for something :) Great Video, Matthias!
I know it would be complicated to implement the computer revealing the dummy door, which requires an input that would reveal the location of the prize door to the machine so it doesn't reveal the prize by accident, but again you seem to be very well equipped to figure it out. Furthermore it would be a great help to mathematics.
Happy to pay for the plans. Do you have some woodworking skill for sale that I can buy to go along with the jig?
what id like to know is, Mathias, what do you do for a job? do you make furniture? design stuff? or are you well off and don't need to work and just like woodworking as a hobby? Ever think of getting into metal working?
Replace the gears with a stepper motor and an arduino + a few buttons, add some nerdy code stuff, and voila: super easy to set up and use.
Do you use a spiral bit? My standard one results in tear-out of the fingers however carefully I go about it with my basic jig - so I'm loathe to devote time to creating this sophisticated jig!
I enjoy all your videos. There Great!!
Hi Matthias! My father is just amazed with your work, he already bought and used lots of your plans! I wanted to ask you for a link to this spacing table that you're using on 1:03. I see it says that it can be found online, but I just can't find my way around. Thanks!
+Dušica Brankov-Žikić Included with the box joint jig plans.
+Matthias Wandel thanks!!!
Mathias is a goddamn wizard!
Don't apologize for charging for your work, let's see them make the jig without your plans!
I pooped my pants when you opened the drawer with all the pre-made gears!
I would love to build this jig. Are the measurements in your plans in metric? or is there a metric version?
I only have it in Metric
Thanks for answering, I just bought the set of plans for this nice jig by using the link in the description. Greetings from Hesse, Germany :)
I don't see why everyone thinks this could be "Simplified" any... how hard it is to change a gear or to mark with a piece of tape where the next stop is? its just like anything else, set up. Once the job is set up you can just bang it out, no worries. the only other thing I can see doing differently is making a paper cut out you can glue to the main gear that has all the markings on it or that's just blank and you can just check off the position in pencil instead of using tape.
Matthias, where were you to help the woodpecker install and setup his new shop?!! That Motorized Scaffold probably would have been greatly helpful. :)
Haha only in Canada does somebody apologise for rightfully charging people for a copy of their intellectual property ;)
Well maybe down here in NZ as well, it is said that we are the Canada of the southern hemisphere!
Whammy! And New Zealand is to Australia what Canada is to America: the nicer, polite cousin. :)
he's so innocoent
I dont think it's easy to copy his gear wood box.
Kolby, glad to hear that about Kiwis. Was looking into a place to emigrate to in the southern hemisphere a little while ago, and NZ was my first thought; nuclear free zone and all. My impression that NZ represented a kind of integrity. Then, my reading on the web seemed to tell me that Americans are detested there, so why go where we are not wanted?
Matthias... you're a wizard!
Wish I had the time to make this. Seems like a great tool. Have you thought about mass producing them and selling a finished product?
Great jig I have to say. It was fun building it. But I use my own simple method w/o any jig. That way I can carry the wood pieces with me to a friend and do not have to carry the whole jig.
Don't be sorry... good things in life are never for free :)
Keep up the good work.
I'm from Indonesia, I like your idea 👍👍👍
Really amazing jig!
