Thanks for the interesting video. In Russia we were in school before lessons taught labor which do such things, and to use the tool, now unfortunately it does not remain. His children have to teach themselves or on such movies. Continue in the same spirit, Matthias.
This man and his hammer :D I just can't help it but like it when he brings out his hammer, when he tries to be precise everywhere. But a bit disappointed - I thought that we finally saw one of his mistakes, when he put countersinks on wrong side. Turned out I was wrong :D
Some say, “When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.” After this video we say, “When you are Matthias Wandel, you have all the tools, including unique tools you invented, plus imagination, tech-savvy and advanced problem-solving ability, and well... that’s what Matthias uses if he feels like it!” ;-) This was completely fun! The most over-engineered paper-towel holder in history! Guinness Record perhaps?
It might be too heavy, but perhaps you could try mounting that belt sander vertically, and make a strong table to support your work while sanding, just an idea for a future project =)
Have you seen or thought up a friction inducer? This type of holder makes it very difficult to tear off one towel, using only one hand, without making the roll spin like crazy and unwind itself.
I've discovered that a project that starts out as a "simple idea" ends up including some not so simple operations. You have to admit that it's pretty cool that over 5,000 people watched you make a paper towel holder. Take care.
Great video. I am new to woodworking , and im going to try this type of project. I don't even have a table saw yet, or even a router, but this video is giving me some ideas with my jig saw. Thanks for the video.
Your videos are very inspirational. Every time I watch one of your videos, I try building it (at least in my mind) but never have the time. I wish I had the time to build it all because your projects look so rewarding, especially your woodworking machines.
Really liked this video, Very much a "get the job done" with what you have to hand. You could have spent ages clearing the lathe or put the job off indefinitely waiting until you had time to clear it :) Thanks for sharing.
hi matthias wandel, I love your videos and techniques taught. I thank you for giving your knowledge to us ... please follow up videos. greetings from Argentina = D
If instead of a round dowel you use a square dowel it will keep the paper from unwinding excessively. the square edges catch on the cardboard tube, slowing it down. its just a bit more of a pain making a square hole for the dowel to fit in. although for a standing paper towel holder the square dowel could be rounded at the point where it inserts into the base.
You're the first guy I ever started following on youtube and you never cease to amaze me. I'm great at following directions to make things, I'm glad there's a guy like you that can imagine these things and then is clever enough to make them happen so guys like me can benefit. Thanks again!!
Don't you have any long term projects on your list? I can think of about 5-10 sizeable projects that I need to do but I don't have the confidence that you have. Some suggestions are: changing out a front double door; building a pergola; rounded over yard gate with matching rounded over frame; hand cranked garden hose roll-up on wheels; comfortable and adjustable lounge chair with wheels for the pool patio. Hope you take on one of these. Best regards
Nice to see others can have fun with simple stuff! Make a project out of something simple as a paper towel holder! I thought you were going to get crazy and make a Double roll hanger! But I guess that would be two vids worth!!!
Good work. Funny as I am a machinist, the lathe would have been the tool of choice. All in what you are use too. By the way you two look like brothers for sure.
You are an amazing person..as a craftsman and inventor, I like to think, lol..I love your ideas, precision, and attitude among a million other things..I have only recently discovered you and have since shown your work to many people..you are truly an inspiration! Keep it up!
I love what coving with a table saw produces, but it looks like the most dangerous thing you could possible do with a table saw aside from giving it a high five while its on.
Hi Matthias, Honestly, don't you thing the pantorouter makes almost as much as dust as your lathe ? The lathe should have done the tenon and the knob in one single operation. I you believe in dust collection, what about a dust collection hood for the lalhe ? Many thanks for all the time you spend into showing your works. ;) Regards,
Сколько же он использовал оборудования, чтобы сделать шест на подставке. В России это всё делают при помощи ножа. И только. А у него супер технологичная палка.
I'm working as a carpenter and my first thought when I got to work on the machines was; "The belt sander is such a nice tool, its gonna be my best friend" Oh was I wrong. One time I slipped (the belt was pretty used already, no new belt) and I sanded away my left index fingernail nearly completely and a big patch of skin on my right index finger joint. This happened all before the reflex of my body could pull away my hands, so: Very very quickly. Our belt sander is quite big and powerful and if you hold a piece of wood incorrectly like Matthias did here exactly the same happenes. The sandpaper has so much resistance, it "grabs" the piece and throws it away. And believe me, Quite heavy, big pieces fly really, really good. Immideatly when I saw how Matthias was holding the workpiece (admittedly I grinned a little bit) I had a suspicion of what might happen. Glad nothing happened though, again, the belt sander is more dangerous then you might think. You should not be scared of tools, only have respect for them, but I AM a tiny bit scared of our big belt sander. I really don't like using it.
Could of used a jack knife an a hand drill , just kidding . But the use of the tools is very well done, except don't have pano-router thats something, great vid Matthias ! best
The big print program sounds great and I'll sure buy it in the future, but how does it handle if the image is taken with the ruler not perfectly aligned (either vertical or horizontal) with the camera? Like will it still work if the ruler runs diagonally?
Not sure if people ask you this question a lot, but have you ever considered controlling some of your ingenious router rigs to a computer (e.g. using Arduino) and making an automatic/robotic router - kinda like 3D printing, but in wood?
Could you make a video with your version of how to build a kitchen cabinet ? , i like your videos but i can't find one with a kitchen cabinet . Thanks!!
My name is Eliezer and i wanted to tell u that u have great skills and i like all ur videos no matter what anyone said !! Olso i wanted to ask u if u ever thud about making video of bluppers errors that happens in ur shop ? Thanks for keeping us bezy watching ur videos..
The only injury I ever had with a power tool was with the belt sander and I wasn't even working with it when I had the accident. The belt sander is dangerous!
Hello my name is Freddy I love watching your video very inspiring and you do good work..I wanted to know what print shop you use to print out large scale to build from your printing... I also wanted to ask you how can I make my bandsaw blade as tight as I can so it don’t bow out.thank you for your time and patience.. Freddy from Westchester New York
Its great watching you work. If you dont have ideas for future projects i would love to see you build a pet cage. Im thinking of getting a pet chipmunk or degu and would like to build my own cage out of wood and wire. Would love to see your take on a home made pet cage :)
matthias, you ever use the pantorouter to sharpen a pencil?
You seem a little bit happier in this video than normal. That's really nice to see.
The Harbor Freight caliper! one of my favorite tools.
Although I feel intellectually inferior after watching your videos, I thoroughly enjoy them!!
Wow! This is exactly how I would have made it!
I got a steel one before functional Lol amz.run/4nfC
Thanks for the interesting video. In Russia we were in school before lessons taught labor which do such things, and to use the tool, now unfortunately it does not remain. His children have to teach themselves or on such movies. Continue in the same spirit, Matthias.
It wouldn't have been so tight if you didn't leave it .002 big.
"Simple project with minimal tools, but this was not one of them." Well it would've been had you just used the damn lathe in the first place! :P
I love the sound of the wooden gears sounds like a medieval catapult or something
He should build a medieval catapult, at least a smaller version
Good point. I missed a chance to use my new dovetail jig!
This man and his hammer :D I just can't help it but like it when he brings out his hammer, when he tries to be precise everywhere. But a bit disappointed - I thought that we finally saw one of his mistakes, when he put countersinks on wrong side. Turned out I was wrong :D
As a beginner who just starting with minimal tools right now. I always enjoy your videos.
I bought you BigPrint program a while back and it has been the best $11 I've ever spent! It has more than paid for itself!
GENIUS! Build a paper-towel holder to keep from painting the kitchen! I love it!
Some say, “When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.”
After this video we say, “When you are Matthias Wandel, you have all the tools, including unique tools you invented, plus imagination, tech-savvy and advanced problem-solving ability, and well... that’s what Matthias uses if he feels like it!” ;-)
This was completely fun! The most over-engineered paper-towel holder in history!
Guinness Record perhaps?
This man is an absolute genius wow thank you I wish I had your knowledge on wood crafting
It's always a great pleasure to watch a master of his craft at work. Thanks very much for your videos.
Mathias, that cove technique is gold! Thanks for sharing.
It might be too heavy, but perhaps you could try mounting that belt sander vertically, and make a strong table to support your work while sanding, just an idea for a future project =)

473k as of today
Around 3:40, I was thinking "All these videos, and he still has all his fingers". Great timing :-).
The nice thing is it takes up no space on the work tops. Good idea and a nice job
lol
You are the king of wood gears and makers !
Best Regards
*Achieves god-like tenon joint* "it'll do" -Matthias
Rock on, Matthias! Only you could make something so mundane and commonplace as a paper towel holder into a fun, informative and inspiring event!
Great video. I am new to woodworking , and im going to try this type of project. I don't even have a table saw yet, or even a router, but this video is giving me some ideas with my jig saw. Thanks for the video.
This was a good build, project and video. Thanks for sharing. Love that you left in that mishap on the sander. Another good lesson.
Your videos are very inspirational. Every time I watch one of your videos, I try building it (at least in my mind) but never have the time. I wish I had the time to build it all because your projects look so rewarding, especially your woodworking machines.

Muy lindo tu vídeo , voy a hacer 4 para mi familia y quedare como un esposo, padre y suegro maravilloso---gracias--
4:55 "no time fore finesse" got you LOL

I like than many of your projects are for other people! :)
fuzzy wuzzy I like that many of his projects are for the benefit of other people.
I like the fact that a lot of your videos give people the chance to shout: It's hammer time!!
Видео этого парня всегда радуют.
Nice to see others can have fun with simple stuff! Make a project out of something simple as a paper towel holder! I thought you were going to get crazy and make a Double roll hanger! But I guess that would be two vids worth!!!
Dude, yeah! He did. Watch his clips and go crazy !! They're really great.
Good work. Funny as I am a machinist, the lathe would have been the tool of choice. All in what you are use too. By the way you two look like brothers for sure.
You are an amazing person..as a craftsman and inventor, I like to think, lol..I love your ideas, precision, and attitude among a million other things..I have only recently discovered you and have since shown your work to many people..you are truly an inspiration! Keep it up!
your using tools in ways i would of never thought to. great work mate
Hehe, wonderful to see such massive overkill of tools used. Think you missed the skilsaw, thickness planer and a few chisels.
It does, but the belt is much better for what I did.
Is your brother into woodworking also, I know your dad was just wondering, my guess would be not since your making the holder,.....
never seen a router used this way. PURE GENIOUS! :)
Never seen anyone use a table saw to create a cove like that. Neat.
I love what coving with a table saw produces, but it looks like the most dangerous thing you could possible do with a table saw aside from giving it a high five while its on.
The description says it all!
I love the quirkiness, I guess it's typically Canadian :-) Adorable!

a very ambitious undertaking
Matt you crack me up keep the projects coming....

Wait this wasn't a simple project with minimum tools. I thought everyone uses a pentarouter to make a paper towel holder haha.
Hey Mathias, you should make a wooden doll. The name escapes me, but you manipulate their movements with strings. I think it would be challenging.
Could of used a jack knife an a hand drill , just kidding . But the use of the tools is very well done, except don't have pano-router thats something, great vid Matthias ! best
I just watched an 8 minute video about a guy making a paper towel holder, I have no idea why I watched this but I like it
very well... as always... you are the best dear Mathias..
hey man.... your projects are perfect!!!!! thank you for your time and creativity, your an artist!
good job and good video...When I was using my vertical disc sander my piece of wood jumped and I accidentally ground my finger and had to stitches
Awesome work as usual Matthias.
Wow the quality is amazing for the time
I learned so much thing in you. Good work sir
you deserve my subscription.
The big print program sounds great and I'll sure buy it in the future, but how does it handle if the image is taken with the ruler not perfectly aligned (either vertical or horizontal) with the camera? Like will it still work if the ruler runs diagonally?
that jig at 2:07 is insane
Thanks for leaving us a lesson about belt sander,event you can cut it off your record.
Not sure if people ask you this question a lot, but have you ever considered controlling some of your ingenious router rigs to a computer (e.g. using Arduino) and making an automatic/robotic router - kinda like 3D printing, but in wood?
thats the kind of videos you do best, btw can you try to design a beltsander who takes 50*2000mm belts
Hey it works good job and a nice build.
Thanks Mathias
Buen trabajo, saludos desde España.
Well-done Vid, Matthias, with a touch of humor... Thanks, Gordon
Wood carving with power tools, you da Man!
Damn, it would be soo cool to have been in shop class with matthias :p
Could you make a video with your version of how to build a kitchen cabinet ? , i like your videos but i can't find one with a kitchen cabinet .
Thanks!!
i love all works u do. u smart man. my regards
My name is Eliezer and i wanted to tell u that u have great skills and i like all ur videos no matter what anyone said !! Olso i wanted to ask u if u ever thud about making video of bluppers errors that happens in ur shop ? Thanks for keeping us bezy watching ur videos..
I like your videos, you are the best, Thanks.
Wouldn't a disc sander have been much better for rounding? Does your sander not have a disc feature?
as you don't like your lathe can I have it or buy it
The only injury I ever had with a power tool was with the belt sander and I wasn't even working with it when I had the accident. The belt sander is dangerous!
Hi M neat trick with the table saw for the groovy bit , you should hit that belt sander a ... well a belt,
G
Another great video
Will you make another instrument? That was my favourite.
you are truly an inspiration! Keep it up!
Exquisite work, as always.
Hello my name is Freddy I love watching your video very inspiring and you do good work..I wanted to know what print shop you use to print out large scale to build from your printing...
I also wanted to ask you how can I make my bandsaw blade as tight as I can so it don’t bow out.thank you for your time and patience..
Freddy from Westchester New York
Cool idea man i was planing to do something like this
Firm grip when using a belt, or disc sander.
Ah Mattias, you make a box of frogs look sane and puny.
sounds like you were rippin on steves minimal tool projects hahaha
Well done. What kind of drill do you recommend? Thanks!
I tried giving my table saw a high-five. Ended up with a high-three & 1/2!
A perfect job for a lathe - better do it with three different machines, for suboptimal results!
Great video- nice job!
This should be a Heritage Minute. That period in Ontario history when Domtar replaced Bell Canada.
Its great watching you work.
If you dont have ideas for future projects i would love to see you build a pet cage. Im thinking of getting a pet chipmunk or degu and would like to build my own cage out of wood and wire.
Would love to see your take on a home made pet cage :)
too bad you dont have a wood Lathe it would have made the project easier and a lot more fun for you. well i guess fun either way.
