I’m sure that I am speaking for a lot of people when I say Thank you for your videos. Especially during this very terrible situation we are in. It’s very exciting when I get a notification that you have gave us another one of your videos. Keep up the good work and stay safe 👍🏻
I think what I like most about your videos is you show your process of figuring things out. I've been a subscriber for many years now, and still enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing and teaching, please keep it up the good work!
I've always really enjoyed how thrifty you are when it comes to having a woodshop without investing a ton of cash. But you know what is honestly impressive? Your bandsaw skill "Oh let me just chop down this giant circular item free hand"
I've done that exact same thing when making a quick and dirty table for a party we were having a while back and I didn't come anywhere near that level of quality.
Matthias, Please know you inspired me to make this. I am starting on it slowly, I finally tweaked my normal craftsman band saw to be able to cut but its really little. I never understood how the blade guide worked ever just did not make sense. Then I was watching a video , then all the sudden you showed a angle that made sense. I went to sleep that night thinking, wow if this works ill finally be able to cut thicker wood, and the blade wont wiggle. I went down stairs the next morning, tweaked it just like your home made one, first cut a flawless radius of 3' through 5/8' plywood, was pleased. Took that to some .5' maple did the same thing. So I was like hmm , if I fixed this, then is it possible I may be able to fix my radial arm saw? Well guess what that thing cuts true now. Its all from you matthias you have inspired me in so many ways so thank you so much. I am working on making a 2 door folding cabinet for all my tools to sit in. Then off to making this new band saw, then im using the band saw to help me make the 12" planner you made. :) If it all turns out ill make a video for you, showing my failure lol.
Genius man, thank you for sharing your skills. Bearing mount tip, freeze them to shrink them prior to fit up. You won’t have to compress the wood fibres getting the bearing in place and you will get a tighter fit as a result. Edit: Subscribed
Bloody hell! That was just in time, Matthias, thank you! I've got exactly the same task - building a 26" bandsaw wheel to replace the original on a huge "industrial grade" bandsaw. -I don't know what they were thinking about, but they made the top wheel out of a solid chunk of casting! It doesn't only weigh about 50 kg but actually rips apart thin blades while stopping because only the lower wheel has a brake!
I subscribed to your channel many years ago. Can't remember how many years past. I'm still amazed how creative you are, and how much work you willing to put in your ideas. Thanks for motivation :)
I’m always flabbergasted and inspired by the build challenges you take on. I would have enjoyed having you as a professor in college for the calculated yet straightforward approach you take to finding a way to tackle any challenge. Great work!
Seeing you build your own tool like it's nothing is always amazing to me, I know that you're making plans and everything but your experience at building stuff is enviable
The lessons learned from the previous bandsaws show through in this build, Matthias. Looking forward to seeing more innovations on the remainder of the build!
The thing that I like (besides the pro-ject!) is that you are actually using those "Deep clamps that you made! and they are not hanging on the wall collecting dust!. you said there was a need for them and you are proving it! Well done!.
Que tipo increíble este wandel!!!!!! Compre los planos de el torno, la sierra de cinta y lijadora de banda SON INCREIBLES (la sierra de banda es mucho mejor que varias "industriales" que use)! Aunque debo decir que fui infiel, ya que compre los planos de una sierra de mesa de HECTOR ACEVEDO, veremos que sale. Que lleguen los aplausos y saludos desde Córdoba, Argentina. Mi viejo (papá) y yo somos fieles seguidores.
That was wonderful. I am glad you are back building. I wonder if you could have made a bandsaw with three wheels easier? I know it would be three wheel instead of two but they could be smaller. You could even use the ones from your smaller saws. With proper placement they would not even have to be the same size. I would imagine this as an equilateral triangle set up with the drive being furthest away from the blade. Unlimited in size if you have a long enough blade and can build a frame strong enough.
He made a previous video a while back called three wheeled bandsaws suck which covers why he sticks with two wheels. I seem to recall the main issue being aligning three wheels being considerably harder than two.
You've just invented the "AIR Bandsaw" something the "safety police" would have a field day when _anybody_ uses it... LOL Good job, I like your inventiveness and techniques.
Next we go smaller. MicroBandsaws! I'm pulling the trigger on the 20" plans net week. Good enough for my shop. Thanks! I still plan to watch and learn though. You always improve on everything!
Matthias: Nice example of process thinking. One suggestion, when aligning the second flange - screw small blocks at outside edge of flange after careful tapping, then when disassembled and glued - the register should be 'exact'. Good to see a MW video again.
@@matthiaswandel well yes,... not trying to be critical here, just an observation that may be useful. is that not what the videos are about? you know helping each other in addition to entertainment etc.
Really cool build. Can't help wishing for an open spoke version. I was surprised to see the clamping/gluing of the wheel only required axial clamping forces. No radial clamping of the internals?
PEOPLE BEWARE MATTHIAS IS BACK !!!! I am so happy with your videos lately, i was extremely disappointed when you slowed down your output of videos around the time you were moving from the country side. And with your injury I thought you might not make it back to your previous quality/ frequency of your videos. But by god here we are, great video man, I watch everything you put out and I would just like to say Thank you
This is super cool and I love your videos. I am not sure why you would want to make the wheels hollow to make them lighter however. I have an industrial size bandsaw and it has huge cast iron wheels. Super heavy. The large mass of the wheels makes it very aggressive when cutting through large stock. This thing cuts through a 4x4 and doesn't even flinch or slow down because of the inertia of the wheels. The only downside is it takes a long time to start up and slow down because of this. Slow-down is alleviated with a foot brake though. Fill those suckers with concrete!!!
Hi Matthias! Why you didn't make the wheel out of a solid peace of MDF o plywood and drill large holes to make it lighter??? Thanks for your videos, nice to see you back with big projects. You are a master!
I have an engineering history, though I wish I had 10% of your skills & knowledge, you are so adept at ingenious invention a problem solving. 08:00 I wish repairing punctures was as easy getting tyre & tube back on !!
Wouldn't a heavier wheel be beneficial as they act sort of as a flywheel for the bandsaw machine? I would imagine a heavier wheel would make it easier for the motor to go from not cutting wood to resawing a log.
I look at these guys building huge boats out doors or in glorified tents, and I realize... you don't need a temperature controlled anything. Just a lot of will and determination.
@@bradley3549 well, for å bandsaw that is going to last for the rest og my life, i would preffer a stable enviornment for the wood. Have you you worked with wood before, or just been watching?
@@jarlove Unfortunately I work with wood all the time, it's probably the absolute worst material in the world for anybody who values precision. Would it be ideal to be in a location with perfectly controlled temp and humidity? Of course. Matthias has been a basement dweller as long as I've followed him(10+ years), lives about the same latitude as I do, and if his basement is at all similar to mine - it's hardly what you'd call climate controlled. Yet you never see him making excuses about not being in the ideal environment. And that's kind of the point I was making - have you ever heard of the toolbox fallacy?
Awesome project. I wonder if the loss of inertia will affect hitting a knot in the wood? I appreciate your channel so much because you use tools I can afford. It has motivated me to start building things and using my own workshop instead of waiting or working extra to afford a flashy ones. Keep up the work. If your ideas seem mundane to yourself, they are probably interesting to someone like me!
Hellow from Russia, sorry for my english I thought that russian is famous for self-made complicated tools and devices, but i was wrong :) I didnt bevieve that it is possible to make bandsaw, that is really works!
It amazes me how you decide I built a bandsaw but need a much bigger one so start with 20inch wheels nicely done waiting for the next few videos showing you building it all take care 😀😀👍
No doubt you will end up with comments saying "you built a bandsaw using a bandsaw". To that I say "you use whatever tools you have to hand." Really looking forward to seeing your new bandsaw progress, and good luck.
The size of the router table you made sure did come in handy for those big wheels. It must have been nice to have not had to use the table saw to cut those grooves this time.
I thought you were gonna make hollow bandsaw wheels for one or all of you existing bandsaws. I was pleasantly surprised when I realised I was wrong. I'm really looking forward to your build video!
Is Matthias actually using new plywood?! Seriously though, watching the gradual evolution and engineering behind these saws is fascinating, thanks for putting it up here for us to see!
I'm contemplating a bandsaw in the style you're building them with 600mm wheels, and i was reluctant to just make them out of 2 thick layers of plywood. Your video arrives in a timely fashion, hollow wheels seem to solve all the problems you described with your wheel designs in the past.
Yes! Raising the Bar Once more! The Whole UA-cam community is yelling, Matthias is at it again with the Band Saws! Your thinking skills are marvelous and never dissapoint! Thanks for the video and I can't wait to see part 2! LLAP

ToT, hello there!
What does situ lathe mean?
@@cheeriosaltcream "In situ" means building it in the place where it is, rather than taking it to another machine (a proper lathe).
It’s so great to see my two favorite makers in the same place
Glad to see you back at the "big" projects. All is right with the world.
It's how we know 2020 is going away soon...
Makes me curious as to how his ailment is. Hopefully it has improved.
Yeah make it big an beautiful.
Projects like this always make me happy
I can't believe we're getting to see another band saw build, I'm extremely excited for this one!
He's gonna need a bigger shop if he goes any bigger.

When I first opened the video I thought you’d be making hollow wheels for one of the current bandsaws. It’s a new giant bandsaw! Yes!
This man has a beautiful mind. I'm glad he is posting again.

Mattias back in the bandsaw business, what a joy to see!

Wonderful to see you back in the workshop Mathias.
This is Matthias Wandel, back to his old antics. Love it!
Nothing prepared me for the satisfaction of seeing what those traced circles were eventually used for. Great job and excited to see the new build!
Seeing you build your own tool like it's nothing is always amazing to me, I know that you're making plans and everything but your experience at building stuff is enviable
So how heavy were these now compared to the old ones? ^^ Was waiting for that.

Super Excited for a new bandsaw build project. These are my favorite types of Matthias videos
Beautiful work, Matthias! Glad to have you back in the shop... you’ve been missed.
The lessons learned from the previous bandsaws show through in this build, Matthias. Looking forward to seeing more innovations on the remainder of the build!
I half expected you to start using it clamped to your bench like that to build the rest of it. Love the ingenuity on this thing.
Your previous bandsaw builds are my favorite. I built your 20" saw. Look forward to the rest!
Maaaaannnnn, you made that look way to easy. Would be amazing if things worked out like that every time.
Great video. Your experience and that you talk about, why do it this way and not the other makes it so precious. Very well done !!!
A bigger bandsaw!!!!! With new build ideas!!!! Doesn’t get much better!!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us!!!!w
The thing that I like (besides the pro-ject!) is that you are actually using those "Deep clamps that you made! and they are not hanging on the wall collecting dust!. you said there was a need for them and you are proving it! Well done!.
You sir are one talented, hard working, persistent fellow. Good on ya!
What a great way to start the week. This video just put a smile on my face!
The construction of the wheel is quite brilliant. Thanks!
Great to see you back in the workshop and here on the tube
Brilliant in its simplicity, beautifully executed.
So awesome! Love the bandsaw builds. I watch them over and over. Can't wait to see how this one improves from what you learned on the other builds.
Love to see how you bring woodwork to a next level
I think this is going to be the best one yet. These wheels are light years ahead of the others.
Feel like I've waited 2 years for this bandsaw! Looking good so far!

Many people would just say "my lathe isn't big enough" and go watch tv, thank you for showing the way.
yes I am almost done with Netflix, oh crap then there is Prime.
Look forward to seeing the rest of the band so when you get to it looks good so far.
Wow Sir.... wow! Also, glad you’re back to doing prOjects!! We here in locked down California, again, appreciate it!!

Hi Matthias! Why you didn't make the wheel out of a solid peace of MDF o plywood and drill large holes to make it lighter???
Thanks for your videos, nice to see you back with big projects.
