- Using the layout that I previously generated with my BigPrint program, I now use my tilting router lift to make some curved molding to match the existing molding.

I am fascinated by arches and hard-to-make or duplicate moldings and I got to tell you that you NAILED it perfectly!!
I've been watching Matthias for years but I still manage to find videos I haven't seen before. They are always really well explained even though I'm an amateur woodworker and don't know all the terminology.
Kevin Liang and a bit
Matthias is a rare person. The organization that is required to complete these tasks (and make a video no less), is usually not found in highly intuitive individuals. Most people have one gift or the other. He's amazing.
His engineering background is very evident. It's also evident that he was a very good engineer, based on his willingness to research novel solutions to problems, his emphasis on quality (except when a temporary hack is needed), his elegant ideas, and his sheer dogged persistence.
Never said it was. The causality arrow points in the other direction.
***** I think he meant that Matthias's tendency to find novel solutions, and his overall smarts are what made him go towards engineering, not necessarily the other way around. Not sure though, just what I understood from his comment.
Cheers!

Face it.. What he did is not hard. Don't portray him as some Asperger genius or something, he's not. He's been doing woodworking and math / comp science since the 80's.. That's why. This is actually a trivial solution to a simple problem IMO. I would know.. I did the same thing several times in the last weeks, except for the the curved part, because everything was rectilinear.
this guy is a true carpenter, a real genius. when I first seen one of his videos I thought to myself, "this guy can't be serious ". seems more like a computer guy than someone who uses his hands. but as I seen his videos I realized this guy is gifted, I mean I don't EVER comment on videos so for me to go out of my way to leave a comment says a lot to me. "and that's all I have to say about that" *in my Forrest Gump voice.
This is impressive! Going from just a picture, all the way to final product being installed without issues.
Matthias, your brilliant! I couldn't wait to click on this video. Please never stop sharing your videos, I get so inspired from them. My shop has a brand new layer of cherry wood dust covering it daily and my wife and I have some great new pieces of furniture to boot. But don't worry, I do clean up the dust in the shop regularly.
You are incredibly talented Matthais.
Thanks for the video!
Man, you are incredibly talented. That looked almost exactly like the original! Well done, well done
I watch your channel all the time and find it extremely interesting and informative. I do wood turning and wood working as a hobby making gifts for family and friends. It's very rewarding. Best of all I get a lot of tips from watching your videos. Thank you. Best regards, Richard...
By planing after joining the pieces, any imperfections in the joint get smoothed out. It's like sanding, but with a planer!
That's pretty amazing how you matched the molding like you did.
You must be the most ingenious woodworker I have seen in some time.
Luke must be a good friend, and you are a talented dude
Nice work you are real old school I like your method of making all the cutters earn their keep . We'll done with the tilting router idea .
Makes me appreciate the CNC router I work on...haha. Arched frames, doors, moulds and beads are my specialty, although not that special when made on a CNC. :P
Well done mate. It's always interesting to watch people's ideas made a reality.
Incredible standard of work. Brilliant video and talk through. Thank you.
I have a curved window in my house that hasn't had the trim on it for 9 years! Now I know how to make a piece for it!
Very nice job well done you thought this out!
Looking forward to hearing from you God bless Ken
The tool you used to hold the router the trim looked homemade. If so I was impressed. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.
You, sir, have the patience of a saint!
An excellent piece of work!
Man your works are so impressive! Got so much time and patience, specially intelligence! Keep it up mr. M!
You are truly the "King of Clamps!"
Matt I really appreciate all your videos, you are a master thanks
THANKS A LOT upload this for teaching all of us 'sunday carpenters'.
Radius moldings are challenging even with a shaper and the desired profile already ground onto a blade blank. You did a great job. Makes me want to build a tilting router rig. Great proof of your "Big Print" method. In some future video I hope you try steaming wood and bending it on forms to make parts for building some furniture...I bet you would have a lot of fun with that.
What I really like about Mathew is how easy he makes it all look, it ain't guys it just ain't... ;)
Having a Matthias as a friend would certainly make those "will finish it someday" DIY jobs around the house a lot easier ;)
Damn, I think I've seen this before and was totally blown away!!!
Same thing this time!
Hi Alexei. Sharpening router bits is fairly easy. I've been doing it for years. But you need a diamond impregnated grinding wheel and a rigid steady on your grinder. then you just retouch the flat part of the bit and voila! it cuts like new.
Your version is better than the original.
Way above the norn. Mattias. Love your videos!
Matt you are UA-cam's most genius man.
Wow..... I solute you for you fine skills. Well done!
Great video Matthias nice joints and profiling. Thanks for sharing.
sometimes life is more fun to make it yourself. once I was asked to repair a piece of hardware that belonged to a drum kit. the piece was made out of really junky pot metal, and I wasn't able to braze it back together with alumaweld. the drum kit was old and you couldn't get parts for it any more. I ended up making the pieces out of wood, and I dare say they worked better than the original. they aren't as pretty as the original, but I loved the challenge.
This is a great vid, I am going to have to make that tilting table, trying to copy a bunch of Victorian moldings and this looks like the way to go. I wonder if the 17 people that gave you a thumbs down have ever cut a board in their lives? Nice vid, thanks!
the moment when the copy looks better than the original :)

This is amazing. Great work. Thank you for sharing.
@Matthiaswandel You were on UK TV this weekend just gone with your Jenga gun!
I wish everyone could take as much pride in their work as you do.
UA-cam should list the names of the negative votes, Maybe these dim individuals would think before aimlessly voting down such perfection on so many videos. Great video. Thanks again.
they don't bother me so much. Getting down votes is a sign of a video being interesting.
You are unbelievably talented, Thanks for the video
that's incredible, and a lot of patience !
Wow this looks incredible
I really like the way you think outside the box... Very nice.
No words to describe... Excellent Artistry... You also earned one more Subscriber.. Regars, Sushil.
WOW........great job and attention to details!
I know you probably get this a lot but u are amazingly talented ...
I particularly enjoyed the planer dance you were doing, just not sure who
was leading.
Very nice work. I've installed quite a few custom made curved moldings (made by actual molding manufacturers) and I don't think any of them matched up this well.
Find a different molding manufacturer. There's no reason they can't exactly duplicate moldings... assuming they're able to grind their own knives and you have the budget to pay for the unique tooling. Further, in this day and age of CNC machining, much of this molding is now being done on automated machinery. But there's still the need for attention to detail.
Great job, Matt!
It must be nice to have you as a friend!
Thanks for your vids, great work!
Beautiful work as usual!
I was worried about that too, but the test pieces I made earlier turned out ok. Worked fine with the pieces in the video too.
Wow!!! Very impressed.
Problem-solving genius. Any of these problems would have made me give up.
I agree with the others...Matthias YOU ARE TRULLY AMAZING!!!
Really enjoy watching your videos(and thank you)....rr
That luke is quite a lucky guy to have a friend like you!..great vid :-)
Great work and very good video. Thanks for sharing!
very informative ... very skillful.. am your fan
That is the coolest thing I've seen!
Woodworker's tool works will make you any router bit you want.
dude, you're like some kind of woodworking jedi!
Sure anyone can, the same can be said for anything. Anyone can play tennis too, but not everyone is going to be great at it. A natural ability for something goes a long way.
Gracias, no sabía como sacar provecho al router para hacer molduras, muy bueno.
First video I have seen of yours! Subscribed! Very cool man! I build picture frames and just started a channel.
like a boss! this is Way beyond my scope. you make I'll nail it.
I'm not sure if that's a pun...or you actually mean that XD
Micah Beers exceptional craftsmanship which is way beyond my comprehension. therefore, I will settle with you making the moulding and I will take the easy way out and just nail it in place👍
Фрезерный стол с наклонным фрезером - это здорово. Спасибо!!!
excellent work!
Hello Matthias! Can you make movie about a router bits and how to sharpen it. I think many of your subscribers interested in such movie. Thanks a lot for your materials!
este mister es un genio por que no lo traduce al español para entenderle mejor todo lo que hace es una genialidad soy un aficionado ala carpinteria y quisiera mas ideas de como usar el rauter
Wov, this is so cool.
mathias wandel. I am curious to know have you had any wood working schooling or are you self taught? You think of some amazing stuff.
+patrick258181 not sure about the schooling, but he has shown videos of his dad's wood working shop, so if not formally schooled he has the benefit of growing up with it
Oh, certainly happens. I do a lot of trial and error, and once I got it figure out, I make a video! :)
Nice work!!!!
Always inspiring! :D
Simplesmente formidável 👏👏👏👏
Please listen to what I say in the video. I'm NOT measuring the door casing with the tape measure. I'm using it as a scale reference. I think I now understand your previous comments better.
Very clever chap
smart man you are... thank you for your video!
Thank you for your video!
!!!!!!!!FANTASTICO TRABAJO¡¡¡¡
Gracias esta muy presiosa el trabajó felisidades
Thanks for this video. I had been looking for one to curve molding but I never thought to just cut a curve into some wood and then turn it into molding. Still WAY beyond my skill.
Magic! That or skill + editing.
Good work, thanks for video
Nastoyshi master ,krutoi mugik
terrific work! Where's the ear protection?
Can I ask what wood that is? I can't seem to get thick timber panels like that without it being ply and it really limits my projects.
Thanks
great work
Have you posted a video on how you made the tilting route?
does the featherboard keeps the piece in a perfect position against the arrow of your fence? i guess you have to be very carefull while you push the curved wood during the several passes. It looks tricky to maintain a perfect position that make thoses perfect parallel lines in the final result. can you explain that??? thanks
you sir, are a genius. we are not worthy!!
Profesional job
Ok, silly question, maybe. was there a reason that you didn't plane the pieces (or the whole length of stock before it was pieces) before they were joined into a big curve? Man-handling them through the planer would have made me really nervous. It obviously worked, just wondering. Love the videos, and l completely agree with stygn. a video saying that you paid a professional moulding shop to manufacture a piece for you would have been boring.
I know... this is why I agreed with youtubestinks comment. Thanks for your sharing your thoughts on it though.
Impressive, I'm jelous of your skills. Nice work!!!
Good technology. thanks.
So... Using a wooden template, you could form a fancy cutter insert on a metal lathe? Gotta ask Berbraer the same question.
is very simple!! thanks!!
