Making two bandsaw stands and a stand for the pantorouter, woodgears.ca/to... I have been using this same design for most cabinets that I built since inventing the screw advance box joint jig.
Yeah where does that come from? I am also making that error over and over again. Why do I always want to save the good stuff so I am basically always using crappy quality? Took me years to overcome that problem at least partially. With tools you have the advantage that they do not decay but with clothing is really awful. Let the good things rest in the cabinet for some years and they will be crappy by the time you finally wore down the crappy stuff, argl.
There are situations where it is warranted, and situations where it is not, you just need to learn better judgement. Tools decay too. They rust, the rubber and plastic gets old and brittle, and they are made obsolete by new technology (or by you finding better ones). I really don't want to use the pliers my father bought, with the uncomfortable metal handles, for example. My rule is to use the old crappy tools only when the risk of damage or loss is high. Use the worst materials for temporary stuff, or where it really doesn't make no difference. But if you get a better outcome or more enjoyment from using the best you got, go for it. Life is too short and I have too much stuff already that I once "saved" and know I will never use. But I find it hard too, to put that habit aside. Maybe we should start a club, frugal people anonymous or something. At every meeting we have to do something completely wasteful. ;-)
You are correct for professional use but as a hobbyist I really think good tools will live 300 years while I won't :) They don't rust, they don't break, they don't bend, they fit properly and move easily... I mean that is the definition of a good tool, isn't it? :) Of course the good drill bits also get dull, but the bad ones are dull to begin with, so nothing to lose there. And still... I want to use up those bad ones to finally start the better life with the good ones... Maybe it is because we all feel bad that we bought the bad ones and cannot accept throwing something away without ever really using it.
i like that my frugal is blacksmithing i was rejected as an apprentice farrier 24 years ago and still love metal work so im sure it would be good to find others like me
Nice to finally hear Matthias say "Whatever" ! Now I'm sure he's actually human; in all his videos, his skills make me think he's some sort of alien between us :)
I really appreciate how you speed up the video, rather than relying on jump cuts, in editing. It is one of the main reasons I look up to your channel. Cheers.
I think your work is great Matias, I do not understand your language but with just seeing your work is understood and learned, congratulations from Argentina!
Great stuff. Thanks Matthias. Some things I really appreciate about your videos: no crappy, annoying intro, no inane pointless chatter, and plenty of useful info.
This whole thing brought a tear of comfort to my eye. I consider him a woodworking genius, and to see him make that many tiny mistakes made me feel a lot better about the things I screw up.
Ive heard the "dont glue large panels" rule before. As i understand it, in a large enough solid panel, the wood will expand or contract in one axis. I think the logical fallacy you are pointing out is that plywood is made of alternating grain sheet so it shouldnt expand or contract at all. Am i correct?
ShopTalk it looks like the large side panels are MDF. I couldn't say for sure. I didn't see a grain pattern, but my eyes are old, and past their warranty. lol
Even if the panel doesn't contract or expand much if at all wont the surrounding frame do it since that is made of a solid piece wood? If the plywood doesn't change shape but the frame does wont that lead to the same warping as if it was the other way around?
_"Ive heard the "dont glue large panels" rule before."_ Thank goodness for your well-informed commenters who can answer a question that we novices did not know.
I absolutley love your sturdy frames! I build very similar ones for my table saw and the space underneath is a bucket for cut offs. One of the most useful things In my shop!
Ty for showing us the REAL side of woodwork . And showing us that yes shit happens, everyone makes mistakes or forgets things . Ty for NOT editing those REAL parts out.
Watched this for fun after I built my mobile carts, and out of nowhere you show this rabbet jig. That saved me $$$ and a week of waiting for a rabbet bit to finish my flooring, it's like a handheld router table :)
I'm not sure what I like more about these videos.. that fact that he's local?, makes his own jigs/tools?, or that old school joinery which is a beautiful sight to see!. Great build!.
A great solution by a neat nick who pays attention to details. I will have to work harder on physical therapy so I can walk. I look forward to attempting this. In my opinion, well done for sure.
Best editing on UA-cam! And I always like that you show some of the little goofs like accidently throwing sawdust around the shop. Makes me feel at home.
Yours is undoubtedly precision work to the milimeter. BOX JOINT JIGS as you propose, gave the stands far greater strength, challenging mortise and tenon joinery. Congratulations!
i made a coffee table for a high school woodshop project. i glued 2x4s together the long way for the table top and used a belt sander to flatten the whole thing. took forever
Matthias bought lumber? I love Matthias as he is the only woodworking UA-camr who I'm pretty sure I have more money in tools and machines...and he can still work circles around me. I did finally make a box joint jig like his HOLY CRAP it's amazing!
I found making box joints with a Matthias designed jig is oddly satisfying, and the finished joint is so impressive looking (and strong). I now try to include a box joint on ever project where it makes sense.
in my humble opinion, your videos and those of Jimmy Diresta are the best out there! Both very different,both excellent! i always learn and am inspired. much respect : )
Dude elephants could breakdance on top of those carts! Your quickie rolling carts make the ones in my workshop look like burning man art. Cheers man nice work. You also gave me lots of ideas for casters thank you
When I saw your stand at the beginning of the video my first reaction was that there was no back to brace it, after seeing your joinery I think it will be just fine.
Hello, dear Matthias, I really like your homemade machines, thank you for what you shoot such interesting videos. But I request to you please try to make a homemade thickness planer. Thanks in advance.
Hello Wandel, Thank you very much for the constructive videos you share. I want to ask, if possible to do a series on the construction of ships. Because it's very important. Best regards!
Very clean,very nice. I need something to use in place of a bottom tool box, car mechanic, I think I'll try making a slightly simpler version of your cart . Thank's
I added two toggle clamps with rubber pads that have the handles joined by a long board that I operate with my foot. This elevates the casters under the table just slightly so it won't move. Honestly, I only use this if I'm resawing large timber.
Маттхиас! Ты молодчина! Великолепно! Мне очень понравилось. Ты решил свою задачу не примитивным (как многие) соединением досок на саморезах, а соединениями шипах.
Homedepot gets extremely cheap 2x4's. I was afraid he was going to split them when he screwed the casters in without predrilling near the edge. I'm sure they're plenty strong, but with those wheels on them I wouldn't be jumping on them. Lowes for what ever reason carries higher quality 2x4's though. Homedepots vary greatly in weight and grain. Some you can only see 5 rings.
Agreed. I will usually buy 2x6 or 2x10's and keep them in the rafters until they dry and then rip them myself. Much better material. Pro tip: Home Depot usually has a section of lumber that's 70 percent off. Stuff is usually warped badly but a lot of it is just an odd length. 1.20 for a 2x8x10!
The cull cart can get you good lumber for cheap. Sometimes the cashiers don't care and will give you the lumber just because there's no sticker on the piece you got.
honestly, I'd make a jig and use a regular router before buying a domino.. or pretty much anything festool, but that's mostly because I looked at their prices in a catalog once.
I'm 95% certain that you could route out those same mortises with a standard routing table. It just wouldn't be anywhere near as fast. So if you're building a bajillion mortises (which is Matthias' favorite joint, possibly tied for finger joints), build a machine that does it quickly and repeatably.
I think its funny whenever I see people bashing Festool, forgetting that the brand is aimed at the "professional" Carpenter, Finish Carpenter, Painter, Wall Finisher, etc. Not the average guy messing around in his Garage, and their price points show it. I decided in the last year to up my game after a bunch of years of using consumer grade tools. I love my Domino, I can make tenons in a fraction of the time it used to take me allowing me to get more work done. $500+ is a lot to ask to spend for a small hand tool but when your time is worth more it makes you think what can you do about it. Plus their dust collection is second to none which cuts down on the allergies. Just my 2 cents, Cheers
"It's only a tool stand, whatever". USA equivalent is "Close enough for government work" Who didn't say "Wow that's soo cool" to their computer at the router rabbet jig for the router?
When are you going to get your own show on HGTV? The first season could just be you building things for a new workshop. Subsequent seasons could be you visiting other content providers and working together to build something. Each episode could highlight a different theme (workshop jigs, working with reclaimed materials, custom woodworking projects, etc). There are so many content providers out there, and that community has some really interesting personalities. There would be countless show themes. Look how long Norm has been going!
I love how Matthias reacts to mistakes. Reflection, correction, and moving on. Sign of a good craftsman.

I’m fascinated by all your custom devices. You’re a woodworking Genius!
Nice to finally hear Matthias say "Whatever" !
Now I'm sure he's actually human;
in all his videos, his skills make me think he's some sort of alien between us :)
I do understand you kind sir
I like how you work around the problems. Not chasing perfection and making it functional and strong
Geez. I bet you can build a jig that can fix my life.
Sean Davis haha!
🤣🤣🤣
LOL seriously
I'm so happy to see someone still using real wood joint techniques rather than screws.
Did Matthias say he BOUGHT 2x4s??
yeah i wonder what he did before
Recycled
Jayden Isemonger i mean what he was doing night before that he made the desicion to BuY wood 😅😂
Some things just don't end up in the trash, and large 2x4s fall into that category.
Just came here to write:
You *_WHAT_* 2X4's? You did _WHAT?_
Unsubscribed! :)
I really appreciate how you speed up the video, rather than relying on jump cuts, in editing. It is one of the main reasons I look up to your channel. Cheers.
I'm soooo glad I'm not the only one that messes up and forgets things. Thanks for keeping that in the video. Makes me feel a bit better.
I think your work is great Matias, I do not understand your language but with just seeing your work is understood and learned, congratulations from Argentina!
ElCoRoGoJi coronel You can turn on translations on a lot of videos.
Traducilos o pedí ayuda en alguna parte, seguro te indicaran categorica e indiscutiblemente oh vato argento
Great stuff. Thanks Matthias. Some things I really appreciate about your videos: no crappy, annoying intro, no inane pointless chatter, and plenty of useful info.
A lot of respect for showing the problem and your fix with the box joint finger width.
A lot of people would've just hidden that.
This whole thing brought a tear of comfort to my eye. I consider him a woodworking genius, and to see him make that many tiny mistakes made me feel a lot better about the things I screw up.
"It's only a tool stand" is not important. Matthias is always teaching me something, thanks for your fine videos Maestro !
I'm not a woodworker, don't have a shop but I'm always excited to see a new Matthias Wandel video.
MilkCap Unexceptabbblllee!
@@MaxMakerChannel ive got no tools
@@dkzlslx7690 it was a joke about his user image. the lemon
It is completely mesmerizing to watch you work and see the quality level you achieve…

_"Ive heard the "dont glue large panels" rule before."_
Thank goodness for your well-informed commenters who can answer a question that we novices did not know.
It's nice to know that even the best woodworkers still occasionally have hiccups in the shop. Another great video, thanks!
I absolutley love your sturdy frames! I build very similar ones for my table saw and the space underneath is a bucket for cut offs. One of the most useful things In my shop!
That clamp you used with the router makes a very satisfying sound.
This just shows how you can do something for many years but it doesn't mean you're gonna be perfect every time.
really enjoy your videos, especially when you include a mistake you've made AND what you've done to overcome the issue. Cheers from PEI, Bryan
Ty for showing us the REAL side of woodwork . And showing us that yes shit happens, everyone makes mistakes or forgets things . Ty for NOT editing those REAL parts out.
watch more of my videos then. Not just this one.
Matthias Wandel not just this video ? Who said I don't watch all of them. Up till this remark? Explain
Watched this for fun after I built my mobile carts, and out of nowhere you show this rabbet jig. That saved me $$$ and a week of waiting for a rabbet bit to finish my flooring, it's like a handheld router table :)
You are kind of a genius when it comes to simple solutions.
I watched this while sitting in my truck at the grocery store. That's how good your videos are :)
"Unsightly gaps" LOL you wouldn't want to see my shop tables
Yeah, my woodworking projects are made emtirely of gaps -- which I then fill in with sawdust and glue!
So you are basically a manual particle board 3D printer? ;)
so many tidbits of great tips in this one Matthias. Thanks for showing your rabbeting jig for your router, floating tenon technique, etc.
BOUGHT?? Nice recovery on the box joints. Like that idea for the rabbiting bit too. Thanks!
I'm not sure what I like more about these videos.. that fact that he's local?, makes his own jigs/tools?, or that old school joinery which is a beautiful sight to see!. Great build!.
I have to say you have the MOST impressive self-made tools! Way cooler than commercial stuff :)
A great solution by a neat nick who pays attention to details. I will have to work harder on physical therapy so I can walk. I look forward to attempting this. In my opinion, well done for sure.
Best editing on UA-cam! And I always like that you show some of the little goofs like accidently throwing sawdust around the shop. Makes me feel at home.
You are a very talented precise woodworker. What you make will last for many years.
Yours is undoubtedly precision work to the milimeter. BOX JOINT JIGS as you propose, gave the stands far greater strength, challenging mortise and tenon joinery. Congratulations!
this is the guy that makes the strongest wood joints in the world
i made a coffee table for a high school woodshop project. i glued 2x4s together the long way for the table top and used a belt sander to flatten the whole thing. took forever
daft nord Planer, mate. At least plane each group of two before gluing it to the next.
I’ve got 2 chances of making boxes to this standard. Bob hope & no hope. Just brill craftsmanship. George UK
Oh my gosh!! Mobile tool stands are the only way to go!! I love mine.
I refresh my feed on Friday mornings waiting for this. It's my crack. I need a fix.
love the router rabbet jig. never seen that one before. Awesome!
Matthias bought lumber?
I love Matthias as he is the only woodworking UA-camr who I'm pretty sure I have more money in tools and machines...and he can still work circles around me. I did finally make a box joint jig like his HOLY CRAP it's amazing!
Your bloopers in the beginning made me feel human again. :) Those describe every project for me still!
Hi Matthias, spinning the caster flange on the tap to check for axial runout is a great trick. I will remember that one! Thanks, Craig
You amaze me every time I watch one of your videos. Very nice job on the tool stands.
I have a serious case of shop envy. Love all the jigs you used in this vid.
Your detail to contruction is fantastic.
I like that you openly admit issue that come up
I found making box joints with a Matthias designed jig is oddly satisfying, and the finished joint is so impressive looking (and strong). I now try to include a box joint on ever project where it makes sense.
Love the videos and your thought process on the builds.
in my humble opinion, your videos and those of Jimmy Diresta are the best out there! Both very different,both excellent! i always learn and am inspired. much respect : )
That looks great. A stabil and nice way to build the cabinet. Wish you and your family a nice weekend
i love your box joint jig, definitely need to make one for myself
As always super,everything is simple ,clear,accessible,and beautifully made.
You are beyond human. A true genius to say
Dude elephants could breakdance on top of those carts! Your quickie rolling carts make the ones in my workshop look like burning man art. Cheers man nice work. You also gave me lots of ideas for casters thank you
I love the shot across the bow at wood taps hahaha
When I saw your stand at the beginning of the video my first reaction was that there was no back to brace it, after seeing your joinery I think it will be just fine.
A mere 56,240 until that golden play button. Congratulations!
Looks like you are pain free in the shop again. Hope the tendinitis that was talked about in past is in the past.
Hello, dear Matthias, I really like your homemade machines, thank you for what you shoot such interesting videos. But I request to you please try to make a homemade thickness planer. Thanks in advance.
Hello Wandel,
Thank you very much for the constructive videos you share.
I want to ask, if possible to do a series on the construction of ships. Because it's very important.
Best regards!
LOL... should be titled... Massively overbuilt tool stands! Love it!
Magnets are such amazingly good problem solvers.
I can sit and watch you and Wranglerstar all morning.
Matthias you are blessed master carpenter keep up the great work.
I think I know exactly why you mentioned the "regular metal taps" and it's a shame that you had to do that. I have the same opinion about that.
Hi Marius.
I love how one brilliant youtuber (Marius) is commenting on another brilliant youtuber 's channel (Matthias)!
Very clean,very nice. I need something to use in place of a bottom tool box, car mechanic, I think I'll try making a slightly simpler version of your cart . Thank's
OK Matthias, I think it's official.
I have a man-crush on you and your brain!
Excellent work as always!!!
I appreciate your videos and ideas. Great videos while working in my wood shop
That's overbuilt. Your insane. I'm subscribing.
great craftsmanship from the lowly 2x4.
I've been wondering for a while now: how do you keep the bandsaw from rolling away from you when you're using it?
I added two toggle clamps with rubber pads that have the handles joined by a long board that I operate with my foot. This elevates the casters under the table just slightly so it won't move. Honestly, I only use this if I'm resawing large timber.
Excellent work. You have a very sturdy system. Thank you for sharing.
9:03 lol I see what you did there!
Michal Mocny needless to say he did not partake in the pre-orders
Michal Mocny I completely agree with him
I don't even use a tap. Just drill a hole close in size and then use a socket wrench for the lag bolt
yup! :D haha
I have to say though that those hex ends are very handy!
Beautiful workmanship on the most over engineered work tables ever made.
Jesus, these stands would survive an apocalypse :D
Dont use the name in vain; you may say jesse or bartolo instead
They will be around for a long time. Jesus, jesse, bartolo...
Never seen a clamp like that! Really cool
Маттхиас! Ты молодчина! Великолепно! Мне очень понравилось. Ты решил свою задачу не примитивным (как многие) соединением досок на саморезах, а соединениями шипах.
These shop cabinets are better constructed than most people's china cabinets.
SublimeSimplicity right? it seems he is the only person on UA-cam to bother properly joining everything. everyone else just uses glue and pins.
Obviously, this is a more dedicated work.
Myself I think he goes overboard!🤷♂️🤷♂️
You are my hero bro! Nice work!
Holy crap your jigs are amazing. I love the mortiser. So brilliant man
Very satisfying watching this video! Great work, taught me a lot!
I admire your accuracy
There is something so satisfying about hearing Mathias curse. I lol'd
I like the wood jigs you have of everymachine makes it a lot faster
Beautiful design and look strong, good for the eyes to look at. Thank you for sharing your amazing video
That is so great, you have like the bat cave of workshops.
yet again, even more over engineered woodwork..... and i can't get enough of it
Jump test?
I'm pretty sure you could park a car on top of those. :)
+Aaron Anderson no an army tank
Homedepot gets extremely cheap 2x4's.
I was afraid he was going to split them when he screwed the casters in without predrilling near the edge.
I'm sure they're plenty strong, but with those wheels on them I wouldn't be jumping on them.
Lowes for what ever reason carries higher quality 2x4's though.
Homedepots vary greatly in weight and grain. Some you can only see 5 rings.
Agreed. I will usually buy 2x6 or 2x10's and keep them in the rafters until they dry and then rip them myself. Much better material. Pro tip: Home Depot usually has a section of lumber that's 70 percent off. Stuff is usually warped badly but a lot of it is just an odd length. 1.20 for a 2x8x10!
The cull cart can get you good lumber for cheap.
Sometimes the cashiers don't care and will give you the lumber just because there's no sticker on the piece you got.
You are magician. Thank you for all videos. Hello to Türkiye
who needs a festool domino XL qhen you can build your own stuff?!?! ;)!
I have no space for a pantorouter or a slot mortiser. The Domino XL could just go on my shelf like the other tools.
Festool just means they inFESt your wallet and never leave.
honestly, I'd make a jig and use a regular router before buying a domino.. or pretty much anything festool, but that's mostly because I looked at their prices in a catalog once.
I'm 95% certain that you could route out those same mortises with a standard routing table. It just wouldn't be anywhere near as fast. So if you're building a bajillion mortises (which is Matthias' favorite joint, possibly tied for finger joints), build a machine that does it quickly and repeatably.
I think its funny whenever I see people bashing Festool, forgetting that the brand is aimed at the "professional" Carpenter, Finish Carpenter, Painter, Wall Finisher, etc. Not the average guy messing around in his Garage, and their price points show it. I decided in the last year to up my game after a bunch of years of using consumer grade tools. I love my Domino, I can make tenons in a fraction of the time it used to take me allowing me to get more work done. $500+ is a lot to ask to spend for a small hand tool but when your time is worth more it makes you think what can you do about it. Plus their dust collection is second to none which cuts down on the allergies. Just my 2 cents, Cheers
"Of course I always like to use the shittiest casters first." EPIC!
its funny seeing your mistakes as well as your triumphs . I like a lot of what your doing.. GOD BLESS
"It's only a tool stand, whatever". USA equivalent is "Close enough for government work"

6/15/2019 USA Grandpa Bill: I did: "Wow that's so cool; Man, he is sharp!"
Great for a small shop! Thanks Matthias.
Awesome!, I also like those machines you made! Thank you.

HGTV is so yesterday, and definitely not the place for in depth sort of stuff. TV is for idiots only.
