On the page where the plans for this is available, you have a link to the "improved version of my screw advance box joint jig" but I don't see a link to buy those plans as opposed to the original. Are the "improved version" plans included with the purchase of the original plans??
For the soft wood parts, any soft wood will do, quality is more important than species. For the hard wood parts, I use birch or maple primarily, though most hardwoods could be used. Some "softwoods" can also be quite hard, so could be suitable for those parts as well.
Hi Matthias maybe this will be overkill but still an interesting idea. To add an Arduino microcontroller to the jig that controls a stepper motor to rotate the wheel. This way you avoid all those other gears you have to build and you could potentially enter very complicated patterns of cuts to be perform. Same suggestion for the tenon jig.
Next please! ;) It's like watching a series on TV, except when I can't wait for next weeks I can usually hop on the internet and download the rest... but this is the internet! (in NZ so get US/UK programs later)
Matthias - Do not apologize for the costs of your plans. The R&D required and the time required designing the plans represents time and money you have expended, and that is worth the price of your plans.
To Gabriel101, he's reinforcing the corners with splines to stop the box going off square! The rabbit joints or as we call them in Scotland (housing joints) aren't very strong on their own :-)
Great, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Your channel is sort of like watching "New Yankee Workshop" except that, instead of making tables, you make gadgets for making tables. LOL
Perhaps if using a hand-held powered jigsaw, and if the blade is correct and is very sharp and very square right when when you pick it up. But if you mean a table type jig saw, this is as fast or faster, since you are already at the drill press. And as he mentioned, the finish on this slot doesn't need to be precise, because it's just bolt clearance.

It looks like the logo on the Dial indicator says Power Fist - Princess Auto brand. If you are in the Kitchener, Ontario area - see Sowa Tools on Manitou Drive. They are an industrial supplier to the metalworking industries. Better tools and good prices on the import stuff.
Hello, Matthias: You put Canadian English CC in there, but it seems you deactivated them. Is it possible for you to activate it please? Thank you very much for sharing.
its sketchup. google sold it to trimble. its free version is good enough for most but the pro version has a layout app that makes really nice blueprints. i havent heard matthias say anything about using sketchup pro but i'm sure thats what it is
hey, i appreciate your work with all the patience icluded. one thing thats kinda funny you do your blueprints in metric but you talk in inches. doesnt that confuse you? i would also like to say that technical drawings are done in "mm" since it makes it sort of confusing to look at in when u want mm and u write cm. in SE imp scale is still used with piping and that can confuse one if its not known. it bugs the .... out me. regads
Depending on your skill level, it could be a 1 to 10. You are in a much better position to judge. I show you all that's involved, and I know nothing about your skill level.
Putting the material on the drawing and transferring the measurements? Really? Not good practice. If you did that in my shop you'd get a slap in the head.
+John Schruben I was taught that doing so increases the chance for error. I am a tool and die maker. When you're working on stamping dies worth 100s of thousands of dollars, there isn't room for error. If the dimensions are already on the drawing there's no need to measure from them; just go straight to the material. It's the kind of mistake I've seen apprentices and co-op students make. I'm not saying that Mr. Wandel is an apprentice; not by a long shot. He's extremely capable. I was just trying to point out a bad practice and that demonstrating it in a youtube video will only perpetuate it. People just learning skilled trades or woodworking may think it's OK. From my perspective it is not.
+MrToolmaker23 ~I respect where you are coming from with your tool and die work. I think ultimately he is teaching to be exacting where it matters, and to not be where it doesn't, and learning to discern between the two. Which all at once, I agree may be too advanced for many beginners.
matthias has a great eye for woodwork,superb.

This is way better than those Expert Village videos!
Man, you have talent.
What makes you think that the "far side" is lower?
Because I used a simple drill press for the mortise. Less setting up. Plus, that way, you don't need a router to build it.
I have no intentions of building any of these, but your video's are just so interesting!

Don't remember the make of the gauge - doesn't really matter much.
Get a jointer before you get a thickness planer. It's more versatile.

In my plans, the top is 2 cm higher, but that in no way causes it to be at an angle.
"Not that hard to build." Matthias, I would LOVE to see something that you would consider "hard to build!" :)
true
*facepalm*
It’s not that hard to build. I built one and it works great.
I second that. A challenge build with a valuable wood might be pretty entertaining.
Matthias - Do not apologize for the costs of your plans. The R&D required and the time required designing the plans represents time and money you have expended, and that is worth the price of your plans.
why is the far side of the box a bit lower than the other sides? is it important for correct function?
man, you're good at this stuff!
Another great video! Keep em coming!
To Gabriel101, he's reinforcing the corners with splines to stop the box going off square! The rabbit joints or as we call them in Scotland (housing joints) aren't very strong on their own :-)
HES A WIZARD!, did you see how efficiently he smashed that together! amazing!
Great job Matthias!
Tomorrow.
See my video on building a wooden box.
do you have a really large printer or is there a trick to glue the blueprint sheets seamlessly like that?
Hi from Argentina, many thanks for yours videos, great ideas, i'm starting using your plans XD
Never said it is angled. I was asking if it is needed or necessary.
Excellent stuff. Thank you for posting this.
Great, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Your channel is sort of like watching "New Yankee Workshop" except that, instead of making tables, you make gadgets for making tables. LOL
if you had a TV show I would have to start watching TV again!!!
I usually check shortly after uploading to delete the "first" comments.
4:25 Why not a drill press on both ends and then a jig saw to connect them?
Perhaps if using a hand-held powered jigsaw, and if the blade is correct and is very sharp and very square right when when you pick it up.
But if you mean a table type jig saw, this is as fast or faster, since you are already at the drill press. And as he mentioned, the finish on this slot doesn't need to be precise, because it's just bolt clearance.

Hey Matthias... what did you have for lunch?
looking fwd to part 2 :)
It looks like the logo on the Dial indicator says Power Fist - Princess Auto brand.
If you are in the Kitchener, Ontario area - see Sowa Tools on Manitou Drive.
They are an industrial supplier to the metalworking industries.
Better tools and good prices on the import stuff.
Can you recommend any tutorials on using Google Sketchup?
Especially printing and scaling the image to print properly ?
Hi Matthias, how long do we have to wait for the next installment? Ive watched all the rest.... Need input :-)
i am reffering to the side that is against the handle and parallel to it. on the plans its about 2 cm lower then all the other woods of the box.
I'm going to build a joint jig one day.
como faço para conseguir um projeto desta caixa ?
Hello, Matthias: You put Canadian English CC in there, but it seems you deactivated them. Is it possible for you to activate it please? Thank you very much for sharing.
I wish I had the time and free space to do the stuff you do. Well one day I hope I have.
man i really want to build one of these, need new blades on my jointer and planer though :(
May I ask what a tau is? t is referenced at 6:35
what kind of varnish do you use?
i like how you were like.. meh... whatever let me just mark this without measuring.. and still be able to build some good stuff.. :D
buenas sr, wandel que problema hay en cuanto el idioma para sus videos yo no hablo ingles
buenas sr,wandel por que sus planos no tienen el costo y el modo de pago me interesa la cierra cinta
I don't know if you've said before, but what program do you use to design those plans? They're quite beautiful.
its sketchup. google sold it to trimble. its free version is good enough for most but the pro version has a layout app that makes really nice blueprints. i havent heard matthias say anything about using sketchup pro but i'm sure thats what it is
Just build a box joint jig to build a box joint jig with box joints.

Do you have plans for this?
hey, i appreciate your work with all the patience icluded. one thing thats kinda funny you do your blueprints in metric but you talk in inches. doesnt that confuse you? i would also like to say that technical drawings are done in "mm" since it makes it sort of confusing to look at in when u want mm and u write cm. in SE imp scale is still used with piping and that can confuse one if its not known. it bugs the .... out me. regads
Easy project, great tool.
This video was awsome.
Thou. Thousand'ths of an inch.
i just order the plan
thank you
Mathias ,From what site you downloaded this plan?
He did not download it, but we may download what he uploaded, using the handy link in the video description.
Why don't you use a splitter on your table saw?
Construction grade wood and short cuts generally don’t need a splitter.
hi matthias im daniel from chile
what glue you used?
best regards
That is wood glue.
Those spline cuts looked pretty scary . . .
Gostaria de comprar, mas meus cartões mastercard e visa não são aceitos, porque?
you are amazing !!!!
hola amigo muy buenas enseñanza lastima que no entiendo el ingle
Depending on your skill level, it could be a 1 to 10. You are in a much better position to judge. I show you all that's involved, and I know nothing about your skill level.
thanks
bought the plans,, woodworking part isnt hard, the measurements are the hardest part..
you are my hero
super, ....
i would like to become your student
This comment is much better than the stupid "First!" comments.
"Rabbet" (North America) or "rebate" (UK) joints. Not rabbit :-)
Oh, not that famous in Europe I guess. Thank you
Ib9rt cheers that's what I meant ;-)
Lol first time i watched a video with still 0 views
1:21 omg i cringed so much
gostaria de fazer uma mas precisaria do projeto se conseguir me envie por e-mail
tomaz.pctomaz@gmail ok!
