Ive been subbed to you sense I was like 13, Im about to be 26, Ive learned so much from you and have gotten so much entertainment from your content over all the years, thank you Matthias!
I'm 64 and your words speak truly for me as well. Matthias is an inspiration for all ages. And a born entertainer as well. So many unremarked little incidents (clamp hits on head) that other UA-camrs would exploit, but Matthias doesn't need to. I am amazed at the wonderful joinery that goes into this workbench.
Always keep up with fulfilling the wishes of children that want to participate in your workshop! Wenn you delay these demands for too long, they might focus on something else.
Yes, for one diversion there still seem to be no pets on that property (besides squirrels and other rodents) so unless our esteemed parents need healthy walks with leashed companions in rain and sleet and knee high snow, get those kids focused on wooden objects not puppies and kitty cats (vet bills exceed lumber yard prices).
Absolutely true - I have been interested in all kinds of crafts from an early age on and neither my dad nor my grandfather (both crafty people) were interested in nourishing those interests. Now I share my dream workshop with my girlfriend and the men that neglected my interests are no longer part of my life. 🤭
I thought you had made a mistake with mounting the hardwood blocks for screwing the leg assemblies, putting one on the outside of its leg top, the other on the inside, but then when you mounted it to the bench top, I saw how this cleverly puts both mounting blocks out of sight on the back sides of the legs. Never should have doubted you, Matthias! You are the man!
Your kids are going to have happy memories of the things they make with you at their workbenches for the rest of their lives. Nice work and it's great to see a Dad participate in his children's lives!
And even while still small, but also well trained to be handy with tools, they are good for under sink and vanity plumbing work (maybe if carefully suited up also in the lower reaches of the attic).
Matthias, I believe I’ve been subscribed to channel for 13 maybe 14 years now I grew up to be a woodworker because of you and other channels like John Hienz woodworking for mere mortals. The teen woodworker. , vary glad to see you still make videos and inspiration us older and new subscribers, hope you and you family the absolute best , from Vancouver island Canada ,sincerely Austin Brown
I love how "you didn't set out to make it that nice" but it is still solidly built to last for years, not just something thrown together bc it's for kids
I trink i can write in german, my I? I think a view years ago I heard you talking… es ist toll zu sehen, wie unsere „Probleme“ die selben bleiben. Ich verfolge deinen Kanal seit Anfang an. Viele Dinge hat du mir gezeigt und ich habe sie nachgemacht. Meine Söhne sind heute die meiste Zeit mit mir in der Werkstatt und auch ich habe vor einem Jahr eine Werkbank gebaut ;) so schnell geht das mit dem Leben! Viele Grüße von hier und mach bitte immer weiter, es ist so schön zu sehen! Danke!
Good job ! Great dad . Thanks for letting watch you assemble the Bench . My kids could disassemble my old lawn mowers . We would spend the afternoon with grease ,tools while somebody went on a shopping spree ! She always came home with kids clothes but that’s what moms do .
Dude. Your still amazing in your thought process. Even though I believe your highly degreed, you help people kinda learn how to think. That’s what education should be instead of memorizing stuff. No shade to teachers here. Tough job. At least a decade ago, some were still taught to teach how to learn things and no just remember things short term.
I'd be interested in seeing a video about kids in the workshop Maybe it's not as fun to watch kids work - but, I'd be interested in hearing things like, what are their favorite tools, favorite things to make, capabilities, risk tolerance, how it changes as they age, how your childhood compares/contrasts to theirs, etc.
I love seeing you helping your kids get into woodworking! But I have to ask, when filling in the corners of the headboard, wouldn't it have been easier just to make your 2 cuts into the headboard at a 90 degree angle? That would not have wasted very much more wood than you used, and it would have made fitting those filler pieces pretty trivial.
I don't know how many Matthias Wandel videos I've watched before today realizing that the slot mortiser is to Matthias as the Festool Domino is to so many other woodworkers. This is probably obvious to everyone else, but it did sort of feel like a huge revelation to my feeble mind.
Totally unrelated to this awesome work bench for the kiddo. Any chance you can build a simple thickness sander, (drum sander). It would be a good way to use up one of your many motors as well. I dont own a planer, nor do i have the ability to. I live in an apartment... but i could build a thickness sander. I just want to see your take on how to build one...
how old are the kids that they are allowed to use the scroll-saw? I didn't think my 6 year old was nearly older enough for that, she usually just sticks to gluing, clamping and painting.
When I was a wee lad, I was allowed to use a jig saw at like 6 or 8. Supervision was required, but I never felt like it was dangerous. I was much more afraid of my grandfather's belt sander. So I think I had good instincts.
My grandfather took me aside when I was 5 and showed me the drill (pre-battery days). He got a rag out and drilled it, explaining that this could be my clothes if I wasn't very careful. Since then, I've held a high respect for all tools. Kids can be grown up. And I can still smell his shed.
@@matthiaswandel yeah but it teach patience control and the action, once you're on a bandsaw or table saw you're now better at bushing stock bluidly whiteout prying at the blade, once they're 8 and older they can get on the bandsaw
For ablative surfaces that are gonna be banged up anyway, you could nail a plywood sheet on top of the table, and in a couple of years, swap it out for a new one, though I don't think there is much point to that here, maybe just wood glue + sawdust to fill in the holes that appear over time would be just as good Not a woodworker, just a random internet dude
Wow, as a 7yo I feel like I used that exact metallic blue handled hacksaw. I still have it, because I basically stole it from my Dad! Hi Dad! Short story shorter, prepare to lose that hacksaw some day.
Hey Matthias, I've been wondering for a while, why do you and just about all the north american woodworking youtubers use that simple style of table saw instead of a panel saw?
There are two sorts of people: Those who use tools, and those who do not. Wise men encourage their children to grow up to be tool users who tend to be more self sufficient.

At this point I'd be happy to buy like a DVD or something box of all videos to keep in permanent storage.

The durability testing has segued into parkour...I'm all for it!

"Reduced level of imperfections" Story of my life 😃
That’s the goal.

What a great dad ❤

8:49 🤣💕 in slippers to boot! 🐸jump to ur tabletop too 😆💕👍
What a caring father! A great way to nurture creativity in your children as well. Thank you for sharing.

Tricky glueup with kids running around in the background, Matthias has balls of steel!
They know not to behave badly in the workshop. The workshop is daddy's space!
Good job ! Great dad . Thanks for letting watch you assemble the Bench . My kids could disassemble my old lawn mowers . We would spend the afternoon with grease ,tools while somebody went on a shopping spree ! She always came home with kids clothes but that’s what moms do .
being a dad of three kids that have workbenches as well, this is so good as inspiration
Seeing your homemade jigs is awesome!
Makes me realize I can do more woodworking without having to break the bank.
Thank you for the inspiration 🌞
You get a workbench; You get a workbench and You get a workbench. Everybody gets a workbench.

No shade to teachers here. Tough job. At least a decade ago, some were still taught to teach how to learn things and no just remember things short term.
It's nice to hear that your children are interested in doing things with their hands.
this way nicer than most I could buy online! great job !!
Good looking workbench, Matthias!
This makes me want kids. Someone to teach how to fix and make things. Such valuable knowledge.
Always nice to get a Matthias video
Great stuff! Kids are learning to make stuff for themselves, and also picking up some choice exclamations to deploy during those fraught glue-ups 😁
Also thought about getting a scroll saw for my 6yo. Now I might give it a try. Bet she will love it!
Your little optical location Doweling Jig is a great idea. As a mostly plastic product, with steel guides, it might become popular.
5:57 I love that sound ❤
Very nice worktable. Almost indestructble by the kids (i’m sure they could if they wanted to). Sharing is definetly a concern..haha!
That’s a very nice table, I really like the areas that had to be filled in. And there’s the option to increase the height in the future.
Some upcycling, some nice ideas
A perfect project !
I love Sat just to watch your wonderful builds and end testing agility 😂⭐❤
I'd be interested in seeing a video about kids in the workshop

Rad vertical leap there. In moccasins too.
Nice! And scroll saws are so good or kids as it's nearly impossible to hurt yourself.
Looked challenging. Bravo
Great idea. Now you need a plan to make it growing with your kids
I'll attach little blocks to the ends of the legs, when more extension is needed, I'll cut a finger joint in the leg ends and add another piece
Nice jump!
Like Bill Gates hopping the chair
Now *that* is a thoroughly tested table!
Lovely! Now i wanna be your kid!
They are going to be seriously crafty kids!
That is absolutely awesome. Best dad.
I love seeing you helping your kids get into woodworking!
But I have to ask, when filling in the corners of the headboard, wouldn't it have been easier just to make your 2 cuts into the headboard at a 90 degree angle? That would not have wasted very much more wood than you used, and it would have made fitting those filler pieces pretty trivial.
yes, that would have been easier. But my original thought was to cut the curve and match it, actually.
6:28 You said it yourself, (kids) woodworking involves a great deal of hammering.
Ahhh beat me to it
Such a nice project!
Kann es kaum erwarten, dass deine Kinder ihren eigenen UA-cam-Channel eröffnen
Brilliant!
I don't know how many Matthias Wandel videos I've watched before today realizing that the slot mortiser is to Matthias as the Festool Domino is to so many other woodworkers. This is probably obvious to everyone else, but it did sort of feel like a huge revelation to my feeble mind.
Two lucky kids
Very very nice
Es macht Freude, zuzuschauen.
Nice garage parkour😊😊

A good project. Thought youd put a sacraficial top on it so replaceable later on.
how old are the kids that they are allowed to use the scroll-saw? I didn't think my 6 year old was nearly older enough for that, she usually just sticks to gluing, clamping and painting.
It's Mattias's kids, they probably made the scroll saw
When I was a wee lad, I was allowed to use a jig saw at like 6 or 8. Supervision was required, but I never felt like it was dangerous. I was much more afraid of my grandfather's belt sander. So I think I had good instincts.
I think his eldest is like 9 or 10. That said, I'm 42 and my scroll saw still scares me from time to time. 😅 I probably should have started younger!
My grandfather took me aside when I was 5 and showed me the drill (pre-battery days). He got a rag out and drilled it, explaining that this could be my clothes if I wasn't very careful. Since then, I've held a high respect for all tools. Kids can be grown up. And I can still smell his shed.
@@Mutius82 how can you be scared of just scroll saw??
Both thumbs up. Thank You
Matthias, now time to begin building from your kids ideas the Halloween scary front door terrors (only wood now).
After success of The Honey do projects let me introduce you to The dad do project.
Very nice.
I too used a scrollsaw as my first stationary saw as a kid
Mixed feelings about that. The bandsaw is much easier to use, but also more effective at injuring. Scrollsaws can be tempramental
@@matthiaswandel yeah but it teach patience control and the action, once you're on a bandsaw or table saw you're now better at bushing stock bluidly whiteout prying at the blade, once they're 8 and older they can get on the bandsaw
Best than 90% of wood workers tables 😂
1:59 lol i say this 80 times while working on projects
Great build as usual. I wonder how long did it take you to make it from start to finish?
3 days
My how they grow up fast. Soon they'll be making their own bandsaws and pantographs.
Mathias: Hey guys. I got you a new PlayStation. Cool.
Kids: No! No! No! We want a new jointer!
Kids: we want a band saw.
Matthias: ok let me build one.
I’m very curious how you teach your kids about woodworking. How much do you let them do unsupervised ? I’m sure they are eager to learn
I don't really teach them. Lessons learned thru mistakes stick much better.
👍great video
You even build your kids' work benches so that they last forever.
Super lucky kids
And in 20 years or ao, the kids might enjoy restoring and repurposing the workbenches their old man made for them .
Great!
"here is his workbench in its natural state" just like me fr fr
For ablative surfaces that are gonna be banged up anyway, you could nail a plywood sheet on top of the table, and in a couple of years, swap it out for a new one, though I don't think there is much point to that here, maybe just wood glue + sawdust to fill in the holes that appear over time would be just as good
Not a woodworker, just a random internet dude
Yes, thought about that too. But so far, Kurt prefers to do his nailing on the concrete floor. Works better there and doesn't make as much noise.
I can't wait to see Matthias' face when the kids come to him with a functioning CNC router made out of Legos.
Is that an earthquake-proof foundation for a skyscaper? No, its the top of a workbench!
6th! I hope your kids enjoy the video!
Hi Love this video. I collect headboards too for projects >
I got a Pantorouter ad!
do you have plans for the slot mortiser?
it's been a long time since i saw a jump test :-)
May the skills be passed down.
Wow, as a 7yo I feel like I used that exact metallic blue handled hacksaw. I still have it, because I basically stole it from my Dad! Hi Dad!
Short story shorter, prepare to lose that hacksaw some day.
Rất là chi tiết xin chúc mừng bạn 🎉🎉🎉
So particle board in big sheets need reinforcing ? Did you test the strength of tenon-mortoise or dowel peg joints on your test rig ?
If I had just layered two pieces of that particle board that were big enough, it would have been adequate as a workbench top.
How do you not have a 3d printer yet?!?!
Hey Matthias, I've been wondering for a while, why do you and just about all the north american woodworking youtubers use that simple style of table saw instead of a panel saw?
😁👍
Now my kids have seen this. And i have to make on 😅 (or two)
Are you sure it's strong enough? ;-)
I would reinforce the reinforcements, just to be sure.
The legs are offset inwards. Is that intentional?
yes
There are two sorts of people: Those who use tools, and those who do not. Wise men encourage their children to grow up to be tool users who tend to be more self sufficient.
⭐🙂👍
How did you know it was shellac?
Cause it came off so easily
You should 3D print that headboard.
Yeah, and spend three days waiting for that. 3D printing is garbage.
Supreme cute
His kids have a sturdier workbench than I do.
I don;t know how many kids workbenches I've seen you build....
One
@@matthiaswandel you know what I mean :)
I have a 9 and 7 YO.... Sharing starts to leave their vocabulary right around 5yo ...
Sharing? What's that? 😆
🖖
