      There are maybe a couple of hundred pantorouters in the world and maybe a million people who are aware of the hinges. The disparity is clear. ;-)

    • @CosmasBauer

      I think it is quite obvious that you do not really need a pantorouter to make wooden hinges...

      @@hoold01 He told you his dad use to make these hinges, that tells you right there that his dad made them without a pantorouter. Because he also told you, he for himself is who invented the pantorouter, he was only just an itch in his dads pants when his dad made those hinge, the pantorouter came years later.

    • @TheRebelmanone
      @TheRebelmanone 4 роки тому +1

      @@hoold01 But if you would have said something like " because nobody made the pandorouter into a automatic unit yet", because if that pantorouter was automatic controlled to do all the cuts and align itself to your measurements, then maybe they could produce those wooden hinges at reasonable price, and therefore mass produce them. Also, you have to want them, if not, they won't be mass produced, and that means not just you wanting them, you and the rest of the people would need to want them to, else they won't mass produce them.
      The real answer is "because steel took the show!" Stronger, lighter, and slimmer for its strength to weigh/volume ratio than wood.

    Matthias, it's always such a pleasure to watch your videos. You make it all look so simple and easy to do! Obviously there's always a lot more work and problems involved (at least for beginners like me) that never make it into the video. It's inspiring to see what's possible with proper measurements and the patience to think through a task completely to solve it the best way possible. Keep up the great work! :)

  • @lexboegen
    @lexboegen 11 років тому +1

    I really like handmade wooden hinges. Your method looks simpler than others that I've seen and very robust too. I may do something like that for a new bathroom vanity cabinet, but make them more ornate with some carving details. The nice thing is if I screw it up, the loss is minimal (just a few small pieces of wood) and can try again. Thumbs up!

    Heck, how can one not like this video? About cordless drills... When they first came out and were shown to be handy, every woodworker wanted one. With increasing battery life and falling prices, it turned out that every woodworker had to have TWO! One for drilling the holes, one for driving the screws. Clearly, Matthias has at least two. For years, I only had one, but I bought a second one on Friday.

    • @NOLAMarathon2010
      @NOLAMarathon2010 11 років тому

      ***** The drill I bought on Friday was a Ryobi cordless. It came with two batteries and a charger. My cost was $79, which I thought was a good deal. How many kilowatt hours it takes to charge a battery, I'm not sure.

    • @EverydayKindaGuy
      @EverydayKindaGuy 11 років тому

      ***** Ditto. That and the fact that nothing is more frustrating than running out of charge in the middle of working. Sure, I could carry around 3+ spare batteries, but at a cost of 50-70% of the original price. Pfft.
      Me gusta cords.

    • @frackcha
      @frackcha 11 років тому

      in the interests of pedanticism ;) the first cordless drill looks like an "impacter" if it is, its a much more effective tool for driving screws, bolts, nuts etc... upgrading to one (if you have a need for it) is totally justified.

    • @EverydayKindaGuy
      @EverydayKindaGuy 11 років тому +1

      I have a nice little (corded) impact driver. Best thing I'd ever bought. Makes driving screws easy, though I prefer to use either star or square drive.

    • @dumle29
      @dumle29 11 років тому

      ***** If you get one where they actually puy enough work into the charger, the charger should keep tabs on the battery charge, then fully discharge it before charging it. A relatively easy and cheap thing to do, which makes it that much weirder that only the most expensive chargers do so.
      That said, if you are running a lithium battery, that would not at all want to be discharge, rather the opposite. Be nice to your batteries, and they will last :)

    Hello again Matthias,
    In my last comment I forgot to mention your use of candle wax. I have a 70 years old friend who is a master cabinet maker. He has done his best to try and make a wood worker out of me and one of the things he is never without is a piece of candle.
    He uses it to wax screws even though you can buy silicon coated ones. It was only quite recently that I got him to use an electric screwdriver!! If a drawer is jamming slightly, or a door sticking out comes his piece of candle. When using a handsaw he rubs the blade with the candle and it pulls back and forth like silk.
    An old- fashioned remedy but unbeatable.
    Alan.

    • @TaylerMade
      @TaylerMade 11 років тому

      Yes sir I watched them probably last month probably right before you started the table saw build. I might have missed one or two of the marble run videos, but I seriously watched (pretty much) all of your videos and Mr. Ramsey's. I recently got a table saw and then found out I have a "Woodcraft" store here in Tulsa and went on a woodworking video binge.

    I've been looking to do a shop cabinet upgrade, with a theme of not using any manufactured door or drawer hardware, but instead using shop-made. I had been thinking of 1/4"-thick cabinet doors sliding in wooden grooves that I cut into tracks, but these excellent hinges now give me pause.

    The ones your pop made are pretty. I have safe door hinges that are also the same, It allows the door to be removed for lock maintenance without having to move the whole safe. You could insert a shim washer on the pin to reduce friction and squeak, nylon, soda bottle, that sort of thing.

    perhaps it would have been a better idea to have the dowel on the door half of the hinge. Now when the door is off, the dowel is exposed and might be damaged while trying to put something in the cabinet.
    It seems to me that it would have been easier to replace a broken part on the door, than to try and get that mortised joint apart to replace the lower portion of the hinge.
