As a fan of How It's made, this is an episode I've wanted from Wyrmwood for the longest time. Awesome look at the process.
and we finally get to see all the new equipment we watched them buy on wyrmlife
Seeing the custom made table leg driller getting used, and the twice damned m&t machine having finished its training arc in this "How it's made" video really shows how long and hard the road has been to get here!
This was way more PBS-style than I was expecting from Wyrmwood, but I loved watching it! If only Mr. Roger’s could have narrated this
Or Reading Rainbow style LeVar Burton.
At least this one is possible sigh
I think this is matt doing the VO? fuck ima feel like a dick if im wrong
THAT’S the description I was searching for. Yes.
I was thinking Norm McDonald from New Yankee Workshop & This Old House!
Damn, this is by a wide margin the most professional-looking video Wyrmwood's done.
it's because it's a promotional video made for the MGT updates
Great video on How It's Made. Super high production quality and very information.
Two issues:
- Never showed the inset gaming area section being made for the table. Perhaps we need a Part 2?
- Should the finish sprayers being wearing respirators?
Should the finish sprayers be wearing respirators? Yes. And actual goggles, not just impact=resistant safety glasses. Some of the finishers were complaining that these glasses didn't block the spray from hitting their eyes... These are some of the many violations pointed out in the comments of the Wyrmlife videos where Doug talked about hating safety regulations.
@@TaikoNoTetsujin I have found that OSHA regulations are strict in many cases and surprisingly loose in others (it does not always make sense). I don’t know what the specific rules in this case would be… I am just speaking in broad terms from my experience with warehouse and factory work.
It would be wise to require respirators though, even if it is not a specific rule, to prevent potential lawsuits in the future.
All that said, we may have been getting a staged performance that did not require anything (to which it would have been wise to say so).
They have a very well ventilated room they use for spraying and I think that gives them a false sense of security. Masking saves lungs.
As a woodworker myself, and someone very interested in processes and systems, I found this video incredibly fascinating.
Nice summary of the streamlined build process. It's been a journey watching it all unfold on Wyrm Lyfe. Congrats on finally being able to fully leverage these economies of scale you have invested in. Here's to MGT 2.0!
Anyone remember the TV show "How It's Made"? This felt EXACTLY like that and was very satisfying to watch :D
I enjoyed getting to see this different style of Wyrmlyfe video. Awesome to see the whole process through, and how much it has evolved from the early stages.
It's not a wyrmlife video. It's promotional material for the Kickstarter.
@@HonestAuntyElle exactly, wyrmlyfe is this video talking to the people doing it and about 100x longer. we saw them pick up the custom leg machine, we laughed at the terrible setup by the m&t setup person, we went to the manufacturing con to do homework on the timesaver, we fixed the conveyor with dale from the rip saw
@@HonestAuntyElle that's just semantics. This is Wyrmwood's YT channel, where they make bi-weekly videos (usually). During which, they regularly show promotional material, just in shorter formats. This even officially released on their normal Friday Wyrmlyfe timeslot. If calling it "not Wyrmlyfe" makes you feel better, then roll with it. I'll not changing my phrasing.
As a gamer and woodworker - I am staggered by the volume of tables made, and the automation to do it.
That is some serious investment of machinery.
thanks for sharing the video.
Loved this! I found myself going "Its the thing!" whenever I recognized a machine from a wyrmlife ep.
I always imagined people building these by hand. What an eye opener!
theyd be fulfilling the first kickstarter for a decade lol
the price would be significantly higher.
In a world where the customer might need a replacement part or want an upgrade, this method is far better.
Programmable machining SHOULD limit a lot of the variables that would be inevitable in a “by hand” production model (the quality of the machines will matter of course). Limiting those variables makes it a lot easier to get correct-fitting new accessories or replacement parts years after the initial purchase.
That said, there is still a decent amount of “by hand” processes in the video, so it probably makes for a nice balance in the process.
Best episode of “How It’s Made” I have seen in a long time.
The company sure has come a long way. Great work on the shop and the video!
Awesome to see your mass production system for the MGT in action. Gives me a lot of confidence that my table will actually arrive on schedule next year. =)
Wow! So much work goes into making a table. It makes me appreciate my table that much more. I love my table, so much I wish I had room for another one.
Damn fine video. Loved the coverage of the whole process.
Love this style of video; How It's Made is one of my favorite shows so this feels nostalgic to watch!
This is a video I've always wanted to exist, I've been very curious as to how these amazing tables get made. Thank you for this video!!
Sounded like Matt (think it was him) has a new career as a V/O artist. Lol. This was fun.
Remember a few years ago when they did the video where Doug et. al. were complaining about safety regulations? And the guy at the finishing booth was complaining that the safety goggles weren't stopping the spray from hitting his eyes? And so many commenters pointed out that he wasn't wearing safety goggles, he was wearing impact-resistant glasses which do absolutely nothing in regard to spray? I see not much has changed. (He wasn't wearing any kind of respirator either.)
In an industrial spray booth, respirators or not required or recommended. OSHA requires that the booth fan(s) move at least 100cfm of air per square foot of the filter plenum. They instantly remove any overspray and fumes from the booth. These booths suck out so much air, they actually need specialized HVAC called air make up units to pump fresh air back into the plant. Otherwise the negative pressure would be so great you couldn't open the doors.
Dangerous move wyrmwood. We now expect this for your entire catelogue, and every project moving forward!
That was amazing to watch, thank you for making it!
That's a lot of machinery.. no wonder one machine going down can stop production. Love the video style!
I knew most of this just from watching Wyrmwood since before MGT 1.0. And yet this was so much fun to watch (and so satisfying!).
Living in Australia, and no intentional shipping, I'm one photo of an apron and leg with a ruler away from making my own clone table. This video went a long way towards making my knockoff a reality. Even if I don't have all the fancy machines
@@HonestAuntyElle a little bit of time in sketchup to figure out dimensions and you can easily make this at home with a table saw, trim router, drill and hardware. fancy machines just give you accuracy, repeatability, and speed. YOU CAN MAKE THIS TABLE and i think doug/ian/triscuit man would love to see it happen.
@@HonestAuntyElle If you don’t have any machines, you would probably be better served by hiring a local furniture maker to make your knockoff.
If you just want something that is physically functional and visually acceptable, you might be able to buy or rent some cheap equipment and pull it off (depending on your knowledge of woodworking)… but if you want something approaching the quality of a Wyrmwood product, you will probably want to get a furniture maker involved.
Either way, good luck… and I hope they can work out a viable means of shipping to you someday.
@@Eyrrll I have access to a makerspace locally it's the tenons that look the hardest
@@HonestAuntyElle Mortise and tenons can be pulled off with a table or miter saw with adjustable height, a drill press, and some wood chisels. They can be surprisingly labor intensive and getting a good fit requires some patience.
If you don’t mind gluing your table frame together permanently, there are a few easier options that are not quite as strong, but should be strong enough.
Pocket holes are relatively cheap, fast, and easy, but I would not use them if you are putting a lot of heavy stuff on your table (like tons of Dwaven Forge products). For general gameplay, they should be fine. Pocket holes require a pocket hole jig, specialized drill bits (that should come with your jig kit), and special screws.
Dowels are a bit cheaper but require a bit more work to align than pocket holes (not terribly so)… they use glue and function very similar to a tenon joint, so they are stronger. Dowels will require a jig, dowels, and a normal drill bit.
And actually, you can even use a combination of both pocket holes and dowels if you want to.
I worked at a company making high grade decorative hardwood plywood. Seeing the wide belt Time Saver sander took me back. I worked on a machine exactly like that for years.
Thank you for this video! It's so cool to see the scope of your business and the many steps that go into it. One day I hope to get one of these dope tables to be home centerpiece 💜
This was so good after following the journey of all these machines
It's so cool to see all the machines that ya'll have picked up over the years on showcase
Dude! This was awesome. Sooooo cool to watch. Amazing quality and editing. My kids watched with me and loved it. Thanks!
How the hell do they go from an initial design of a table to this whole process? Figuring out the tooling, the order the machines are run, etc? Seems insanely complex to have to plan this whole thing out. Can't just build a prototype and just say "build it!" Impressive as hell
Well in the beginning, most of these things were done by hand and jigs.
Then they expanded after the Kickstarter to buying these machines to fulfill the orders faster.
testing, process engineering, more testing, adjust process, test again...repeat as necessary
if you watch all of wrymlife (as far back as it goes) you can see a lot of their processes including how they went from figuring out "here's what we want to make" to "here's what we need to buy/do to make it"
Industrial engineering my dude! Usually you start with listing out the processes used to make the prototype, and assign an estimate of how long each process takes and what things can be done in what order. Then, by making a Gantt chart, you visually see where your time sinks are and can start making decisions on what processes can be improved with different machines, and if it makes sense for the volume of work. A lot of the machine decisions are based on your design and could end up changing that very design to accommodate machine limitations, but lots of iterations and planning. And money.... Lots of money lol
Love it! Speaking as a woodworker, and manufacturing engineer for a large office furniture company, this v was captivating.
This was a fantastic video! It was like watching a How It’s Made episode, hight production value. I liked the added animations to help explain some parts. And I defiantly learned more about woodworking ❤
How It’s Made; Wyrmwood Edition! ❤
Honestly I have been waiting for this video for years. I like the vlog style stuff, but I want more pure woodworking videos.
Been watching Wyrmlife for years now, it is incredible to see what we have all created. So many steps and processes all coming together! Incredible to see.
I feel like this could easily get sold to discovery Channel for the how it's made series. Although they would probably need to re dub with crappier music and vo
That was excellent - something I can show kids at school in both Design and Industrial classes. I’d love you to do some sort of interview around the design of certain items as well so we can have kid safe versions of it too.
Fun to watch after receiving my order! Been a bit of a wait but excited to unbox and build it tomorrow!
Also gotta say I like how some say that this table is overpriced and not "hand crafted". Takes talented people at all points of the process to make sure the job is done right, sanded and finished by hand. This is American owned and made, with a bow on top for a price no one else does for furniture. I'll edit my post after mine is put together :D.
That was fantastic. Simply incredible!
The video I have been wanting for so long! Fantastic episode
This was AWESOME!!!! You’ve fully convinced me to just buy it and not try build it myself.
How It's Made was that show you could sit back and watch for hours!
Love that style of production in this video. Great work ppl!
I feel like the voiceover needs some cred - you have the perfect knack for a chill how it's made video 👍🏼
"how it's made" wyrmwood edition.
I love it! This is great.
oh that was awesome. finally, a structured, start to finish .... thing. thanks!
I've been watching these videos for a few years now so I've seen all of this before but never all together in one video...makes it seem daunting! So many steps!
I'm surprised I didn't see anyone wearing a mask while sanding or during seal coating... any idea why? Seems like that'd be important to employee health.
Uncomfortable and choose not to? Removed them for shooting? Any number of reasons
Very cool video. It gives an insight into the manufacturing process that is well detailed and informative. Nice job.
This was a good video and you successfully made something that appeals to a more mass market.
This does not have the normal wyrmlife energy.
Can you make a video like this for every product you make? I like it a lot
Who the heck is the narrator?! Great job!
The anti-masker in the spray booth. [eye roll]
That was so fun to watch! And really well done too.
That was a really nice and new type of video. I really appreciate it.
Now THIS is why a woodworking company should have a media department. Love seeing the incredibly high quality professional content.
this is such a cool video it gives me mayor how its made vibes
It's hilarious to me that the waste produced from the ripper, are all pieces I'd be hoovering up like a kid in a candy store. On the downside, the drive to mass from bc is a little over 3000miles.
cost more for them to repurpose than the material is worth lol
@@mcdotterson4103 from a mass production standpoint, 100%. From a hobbyist woodshop out of my garage - those cutoffs from the ripper are perfect for laminating and using for small projects.
Such oldschool Discovery Channel vibes. My happy place!
Always loved How it's Made. This was great!
Loving the new direction of the channel! Lots of glossing over of things here, can't imagine why. Can't seem to find the last video you posted though...
i had to scroll so far to find this or any mention of it, i thought i was going crazy. i saw mention of it a few days ago elsewhere online but only just now got around to watching some youtube and i guess i missed it :/
While I know not all of your products are so detailed in their creation, I would love to see more videos like this about your other products, pens, desks, accessories, dog beds ;)
Wow, look at the production value. This isnt typical. :P
that's a badass ripsaw machine!!!
Hell of a video! Wow. Well done. I miss the shenanigans, but this was really well done.
Awesome video! Certainly a different style, but that doesn't make it any less great!
This is beautiful
It's like those videos that resume an entire movie saga or tv show
That was fantastic! thanks guys!
Recent change in video direction is very nice
Dang i dint realize your second facility was in Myerstown. That's like an hr away. Keep on being a rad bunch and making awesome products
We need more Matt how its made videos
this right here. this is why i fell in love with Wyrm Lyfe back in the day. this is a great video, the editing is flawless....but it's souless and corporate. this exact style, editing, and quality is exactly what i expect when i look at literally every professional company's youtube page. from guitar makers, to construction, to cars, and everything in the between. it's B. O. R. I. N. G. then came along Wyrm Lyfe. this absolutely weird and candid vlog that brakes all the conventions and does something interesting. i absolutely LOVE the weird tangent stories (the club drinking montage AND apology, the story of Doug taking the silverware to gift Ed, telling Crazy Ed to stress test the tables turning into him literally blowing up a Liliput, and the Frankenput build and reveal.....hell the fact that there has been close to 5yr old joke of making fun of the CEO of a professional woodworking company because his wallet is made out of duct tape...all of that stuff).
this is the video i expect from a professional woodworking company. Wyrmwood has built up a report through Wyrm Lyfe that i've grown to expect the ORIGINAL "how the MGT gets made, start to finish" video being a vlog style video of Ian walking through the workshop and the camera person practically tripping over stacks of parts in the process, having moments of bad audio. it's fun. it's exciting. it's different. it's weird.
this is a great video. i hope there are plenty of videos like this one that get uploaded to Wyrmwood in the future....just so long as Wyrm Lyfe doesn't get cut out.
It's just a Kicsktarter update video they posted here as well
@@dneko-chan3367 so was the original one with Ian.
Great video. I'm using it to try to convince my parents to get a table
Great Video, exactly what we needed to see. Next make this for Prophecy, then every other product you have...
Ah the infamous m&t machine. Has that finally found stability?
I still see somewhat regular reports of the mortise and tenon joints not lining up correctly for some people putting their tables together. That and topper bevel issues being another common problem.
6:56 of the video. Notice the complete fubar M&T in that finish stack dead center of the video 2nd from top. Cue the "one of these things does not look like the other..."
Woe is me, I'm a hex so 50% greater chance of getting a part like that!
@@darensommers3309 Given how obviously highlighted it was in the center, it was making me wonder if it was deliberate. Like one end was deliberately different for a different join.
But that really seems like an odd thing to need, so I suspect that could have been an error too, lol.
Edit: I saw it confirmed by people who have their own MGT's that it is definitely an error. So yep, that machine is still a regular issue! lol
@@darensommers3309 id bet operator error, doesn't look like it moved while it was making the tenon or when the hole was bored/drilled, both look like nice clean cuts. very odd to put that into the video and no one noticing it.
This reminds me of old school Wyrmlyfe where we saw Doug sharpen a chisel. Love your stuff.
Great video! I'm curious if the process is the same still. I'm very excited to get my table. I just wish I didn't have to wait 8 months to get it delivered...
Looks like maple wood, nice!
This was pleasing to my eyes!
this was awesome to watch!
Fascinating- nice work!
Congratulations, on of your best videos I've ever seen. Lots of production and polish. Definitely not your norm, and not something we need all the time, but very nice. Very very nice work. Kuddos to your video editor.
OH WOW!
This is AWESOME!
Still biggest regret of my life, not backing MGT in round 1 (from down here in Australia)
Here in Aus, a minimum set up of large (maybe it was even medium) table in maple with toppers, no accessories. Was looking like $2000 AUD, shipping included.
In hindsight, this table is 10000% worth it, even if I would still be waiting on delivery! Just guttered I didn’t realise it when I needed to
Fantastic video, and great marketing showing people that their money is so well spent
This is so well done!
Ayyy dats me at 3:07
And me at 9:14
I am looking forward to buying it in Japan!
Cool video.
I have to ask though, why are the seal and final coat sprayers not wearing some sort of respirator?
I love you guys but damn; now I am going to end up binge watching hours of How it’s Made. 😂
This was phenomenal
Loved this!
Would you show your man applying the seal coat some love and give him a mask, so doesn't inhale the aerosoles and get cancer or COPD!?
Otherwise, loved the video! :)
Damn I was high while watching this and it was absolutely riveting. I'm gonna go watch How Its Made.
Such a fun video
Totally awesome.
How come I don't see people wearing dust masks/respirators, particularly while sanding or spraying?
Now let's see one built with hand tools Jason
What a fun video thanks guys
Thank you for concisely putting all of the tools I want with their functions in a sexy format, now off to plead to my wife, this time with visuals!
