Building a bookcase with Rachel
Вставка

- Rachel wanted to build a bookcase, so we built one together. Nice to have help.
Filming with help doesn't quite go as planned as filming alone.
The design of this one is very similar to one I built two years earlier:
• Big box joined bookcase
She did great, especially working with Wandel branded tools.
😂
😂
Made by Matthias for Matthias
Does one realizes they are lucky without them reading comments about it?
Rachel is such a gem. It was good to see you two work together on a project again.
She's a natural. good job Rachel.
That's an understatement, she is very good and can actually follow and execute something when someone tells her something and knows how to touch and handle equipment, that's rare these days.. We have 1 chick at work and she starts crying when you tell her something because "she doesn't know how" when its basically common sense. Give a random chick a power drill most won't even know that you can can change the direction of rotation and most are too afraid too try because they might look stupid.
@@FireGodSpeed you need to replace those chicks with humans. chicks always poop on the work anyway.
@@FireGodSpeed most women I know handle powerdrills just fine.
Would you comment on a video where the subject is male in the same way?
Creepy
@@Solid_Jackson ok weird-o!
Imagine being in shop class with Matthias as your teacher. Plus you're being filmed filmed for 1.7M people to watch. Well done Rachel.
It’s been quite some time since she’s been in a wood working video! Welcome back Rachel 🎉
Two thumbs up for Rachel. This was a good reminder to all of us that we need to be patient and understanding with new wood workers so that their initial experiences will be positive ones.. Thanks for including her in this video.
Lucky you who still has two thumbs to put up.
Next video, Matthias cooks dinner under Rachel's supervision.
I'd watch that!
Yes. Good idea.
This needs to happen!
You *assume* that Rachel does that better, at the outset?
Next vid : "How ai lost my first finger while cooking chicken fingers."
She looked so proud of her bookcase, it feels so good to create something from raw material. It came out great!
I'm glad you two could work together on camera. Congrats. The bookshelf looks fantastic. Great job Rachel
Imagine how intimidating that would be working with Matthias
My thoughts exactly. Nice job Rachel!!!
Imagine how intimidating it is to teach your wife an often frustrating job that is also dangerous.
I think it would be incredibly frustrating. He is an amazing woodworker and very smart but that does not necessarily mean you make for a good instructor. That is just my perspective though.
Sorry, I think that you meant to say exhilarating.
Thankfully she has been by his side for over a decade. Lowers the intimidation factor by a fair amount. Two kids together I think.
Well done, Rachel.
As someone with, at best, marginally more experience than Rachel when it comes to woodworking, this reminded me how hard the craft really is for amateurs like us. Little things you don't even think about Matthias will elude our intuition. It ends up becoming a cycle where I don't do woodworking very often because I don't have the knack, but I also don't get the knack because I don't do it very often.
Just start working on small projects! I've been a woodworker for years but I do it in my spare time. All you need is time and patience. It took me years to be able to plan out stuff well, and to take my time at the rough stage (where you cut a lot). It saves so much time in the long run. And by going slow you also get way better at everything.
You guys are so lucky to have each other to do awesome woodworking together. Rachel you are one lucky woman to have him helping you learn the way wood works. And Matthias you are lucky to have such a smart and talented Rachel to teach. What a great team. Thank you both for showing people how woodworking partners can really shine together. That router trick for the back panel rebate is pretty handy.
Love seeing you two work together. And your right, seeing things from a novice's perspective is very instructional in ways an expert couldn't anticipate
Great job, Rachel. I see no one has explained to you that traditionally projects aren't finished until the maker leaps on top of the finished piece. Now there really is a challenge for you!
Nicely done. I'm amazed that the kids weren't popping in to see what Mom and Dad were doing. Thanks for sharing.
We used a time they were out of the house to film setting up. Logistics much easier that way
I do enjoy Rachel's video builds and especially the way she took control early on, sorting the wood for sides etc :) My wife will only come to the workshop to bring me a cup of coffee or tell me it is time I cooked the tea :)
Great job Rachel! 💕👏👍
PS- haha loved seeing you (Matthias) go into "glue" and "varnish" mode 🤣👍
Excellent presentation skills (ballet steps + TADA!) Nicely done, Rachel.
The real accomplishment here is staying married after a project together, where one is hugely more knowledgeable about the craft
Love when you do projects with Rachel. She is so charming! Great work Rachel!
That was exhausting to watch as someone who has no idea how much goes into making furniture. But the final piece was gorgeous!
This is excellent content.
There is nothing better for teaching newbies than videos of a master teaching a newbie.
👍👍
J'adore l'idée : la transmission se fait là, sous nos yeux ! Bravo à Rachel de s'intéresser à cet art subtil de la menuiserie, avec le plus brillant des professeurs 😉... Merci à vous deux
Good job Rachel. You learned several good safety lessons, some equipment lessons and some new skills. And believe me when I say, it's not easy having the resident expert watching over your shoulder.....along with tens of thousands others, some of whom can be the most critical people on the planet. The shelf unit turned out very nice. Ya done good.
Well Done Rachel!!!!
In one 23 minute video we have now seen Rachel at lest 100% more than all the other videos combined.
As others have mentioned. I am waiting on Matthias' appearance on Rachel's cooking channel.
Good luck Matthias.
The look on Rachel's face after the first table saw cut was great. Cute video.
Rachel ,you did a great job! Don't be worried about cutting off too little on a shelf , remember you can always cut more off, hard to add more back on! Mathias, be great to see how you made that last long drilling jig, especially getting the holes perfectly even all the way along! Keep these coming ! :)
Because it is long, the holes don't have to be even. As long as you keep the orientation of the strip of holes the same, each level will match without the spacing having to be exactly on.
You can create a jig to create that jig: drill two holes in a piece of scrap, drill the first hole in the long jig, position the helper jig with a dowel in the first hole, drill the second hole, repeat.
Great project! Mission accomplished with almost no "marital strife". 😁 Two small suggestions from your distant cousin. 1. Put a spacer the same thickness as your table saw sled base so you don't have to reach around the saw blade to support your piece. 2. Feather boards on the fence of your router table will hold down your work without your fingers near the router bit. Also stops kickback. I love y'all and want you to keep your fingers attached.
Riving knife on the tablesaw would also be a good idea.
Great job Rachel, do more videos. Looks like you got a new piano.
It’s always fun to see you two together.
Very nice job Rachael, Matthias is a great teacher.
Well done Rachel, turned out looking fantastic!
Pure enjoyment to see the two of you working together. Of course, as we have learned to expect from you, the result was perfect.
Awesome vid! And I love Rachel's smile....it's very contagious 😀
Bravo! Nice team work...
Very generous also of you guys sharing this expérience!
I'm not a seasoned woodworker so I appreciated the details, methods you explained in more details. You always share your success and failure with such humility that it makes your videos so enriching and fun to watch makes me feel good!
I keep learning each time and trying to apply these learnings to my projects.
Again thanks to you and Rachel !!!
We need more of this newbie thing trying on woodworking. So much we can learn just from the tiny little advise over the length of the video.
Great bookshelf project.
Nicely done Rachel!
Good for you Mrs. Wandel! When I've had my wife in the shop with me, I have to keep telling her to watch the workpiece and not me because she has a tendency to keep looking over at me to see if I'm nodding approval at what she's doing.
It's nice to see a Rachel project again! Keep up the good work, both of you!
She’s a fast learner! Fun to see you working on a project together!
Congratulations Rachel! It’s a good sign if you can do a project like that together - well done!
I had a big smile on my face watching you two work together. I kept thinking of how my wife and I would fare on such an adventure. I really enjoyed the video. The bookcase looks terrific.
Now we want Rachel in more videos. You did great Rachel.
There is no joy for me like working on a project with my wife. Great to see the two of you working together.
I'll second that, Rachel, didi an awesome job, she will be an excellent wood worker soon
Bravo, Rachel! I loved this video! You two make a great team! :)
lovely! Lovely couple and beautiful life. And you are a genius, Matthias. I've been an admirer of your work for years.
I love this video! Husband and wife working a project together, so adorable!
Rachel’s cool and obviously super smart. Looked like a fun time.
Enjoy watching you guys work together, great video,may God bless you and your family and keep you safe.
Well done, you two brought nice memories of my missus and me in workshop.
Rachel is very impressive. Wonderful job!
Fantastic. Welcome to the club, Rachel.
Rachel seemed to be a pretty competent woodworker, and you avoided divorce. Congratulations!
Matthias & Rachel, well done. You don’t kill each other.
I enjoyed that video, thank you to the both of you. Please may we have more?
I remember another video you did where you had an inexperienced person working with you in your shop. These are easily 2 of my top 20 favorite videos you made, may the algorithm smile on you.
Nice to see a job together with Rachel! 👍
Having her rip a board off that huge slab was ambitious. She did great. Seems to be fairly competent to begin with.
One hack my dad taught me to implement on my table saw is a hinged board hanging over the off switch, so you can turn off the saw with your knee while still holding the material and watching your hands. Especially for somebody new to the saw, seeing her duck below the workpiece while keeping her left hand up made me nervous.
You both showed great humility and patience for each other. A delightful example of a couple respecting each others different strengths and weakness. May I venture; Rachael's greater emotional literacy and Matthias's greater workshop skills. Possibly even on the nerd scale! A huge plus for gender equity in the home.
Truly having the manufacturing ability that meets your needs is a big differentiator. The two of them are a great duo, they were excellent to work with this shelf.
i’m grateful for the knowledge and entertainment you provide!
Excellent video, loved the approach here. Rachel did a fantastic job. The bookcase came out great.
That ending dance, flourish showing off the final bookcase was nice. Matthias, you could learn a thing or to about grace from Rachel. Have her help you with your plié.
Hahaha, the excitement about the clean desk! Nicely done!
I just recently started getting into some light diy woodworking, and I found this video to be very useful and timely. Thanks Matthias and Rachel!
These are the kind of videos that really help a beginner who's been doing on and off projects for a couple of years already. It really gives an explanation of why things are done and how to fix them. Thanks @maththias !
I think you may have been the first channel to which I subscribed. I’ve been watching for years. This might be my favorite so far. Love Rachel. Showing that teamwork necessary in a marriage. She did a fantastic job. I’m not sure I would let my wife run my tools. 😂
loving the check shirts, was expecting Norm to walk in any moment
A real and honest woodworking project... best kind of content on this channel
That was great to see little things that you don't think about after a while.
That's fantastic Matthias, it's great to see the two of you sharing one of your passions.
Less than 10 seconds in and we're already insulting the use of the Customary system, I love it
0:35 I think this is super useful. Similar to how you often leave your mistakes in the videos, it's great to remember that you've been doing this forever, and so many of the things that are just muscle memory for you by now are things us normies have to actually think about. 😅
21:20 Hey, incremental is how you avoid overshooting and having big gaps
Beautiful work, Matthias! You guys killed it! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great job building that bookcase Rachel! 👍👍
There is nothing like team building by making something with your spouse. It makes for such strong bonds. Well done. Now to see you do something with her!
Great work, Rachel. Wonderful to see you both on a project.
5:59 I didn't know Matthias was a safety troll! Just kidding. Great work to you both (guidance is harder than it looks)
To be fair, my heart skipped a few beats when she was balancing that oak on the tablesaw, and again with the jointer...😮
Now I like this channel even more! I love seeing family work together and this family is full of smarts! Will always watch this channel.
Really great to see you two in the shop. Kinda reminded me of the really old videos of your family working on the camp.
Excellent work...together. It wouldn't work in my household but nice to see it can.
this is the Joy of working together
This was great to watch! God bless you!
Watched the whole video with a smile on my face. Thanks guys just what I needed on a Sunday morning.
Love the final "TADA!" I'm sure I'm not alone in expecting more Matthias & Rachel projects now.
This makes me think of the Gaming For A Non-Gamer series. I've watched so many of your videos, but those little, practical things I would likely also need to learn by doing.
This is fun!
This was fun to watch. Very heartwarming.
Great content. Watched it all with a smile. More Rachel on the channel please :D
I think she did very well for her first project and she will love the bookcase even more because she built it. She looked a little frustrated when she had to cut the shelf multiple times but I think this is the right way to do it. So again great job Rachel.
Nice to see when couples work together in a good way.
Super work to both, the book shelf looks great.
The children were in the other room working on a rocket engine. Nice shelf!
It’s good to see Rachel doing woodworking. 👍🏼
It's nice to see the women of the house helping you build things for the family. Maybe I should say building it herself with a little help
Just loved this. Thanks guys for such an entertaining post.
Good level of detail, this reminds me of your older video style. Great job Rachel!
Outstanding!
I've been working around machines, that can hurt and/or kill us, for over 45 years, and still have a phobia of people getting hurt or killed using them. Which makes me feel like I need to do all of the work.
I should show this to my wife. Maybe she'll be able to break my phobia!
What an excellent duo!
Nice work Rachel. Great video Matthias thumbs up.
It was so nice watching you two work together! I could really see how much fun you both had 😊 I could definitely watch this more often.
