Behind the Scenes with Matthias Wandel | Rogers tv

[@s0nnyburnett]

The humble engineer, slightly awkward, scrap wood genius with just enough humor is why I love watching his videos. No one else has made me think so hard about the possibilities and versatility of even the pulpiest board of dumpster pine. He's done things with wood I thought only feasible with metal.

[@woodsmith_1]

I first found Matthias when figuring out the mathematics of compound angles. In the first video of his I saw, he casually mentioned while assessing a bandsaw, "I could build a better one". I was like, "what the fook did you just say?" I then proceeded to watch every video he ever posted. He really changed the way I think about woodworking.

[@kookyflukes9749]

I could listen to Matthias indefinitely. He makes sense will a droll sense of humour. He's old school with a brain.

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

The Man, the Myth, the Legend.

[@jum5238]

We needed more of a manly voice echo in there for this comment. :-)

[@HM13.]

Atleast Matthias doesn't get hit by a soccer ball or volleyball in the face like Scott Sterling 🤣

[@iGarni]

I love Matthias’s woodworking projects. I'm still learning in woodworking. I thought if you want to make a furniture you need to make it from fancy woods but he shows me that you can make anything from scrap woods. And what he invents is another story. Thanks Matthias.

[@plunder1956]

I know a guy, Richard; who seems basically unstoppable. Another friend gave him an old metalworking lathe (it was in a jumble of bits in a box). He expected it to end up in the scrap metal bin. A week later Richard was making things ON THAT LATHE! So metal Mike was impressed; so I met him. Since I met Richard; I have stripped, cleaned and totally rebuilt about 6 major Machine tools with him and moved his whole shop three times. We have also designed and built many other things together. Making & fixing stuff is fun. But I know from years of experience that shooting and making videos of the process IS bloody hard work.I did this commercially for about 15 years (with a shooting crew, or alone). So I really appreciate what Matthias does.

[@urishab]

This guy is so humble it kills me. Mathias you’re not popular on KZbin because you got there first! You’re popular because your videos are awesome! You have something to say and you’re bursting with ideas. Ye, woodworking videos are common on KZbin these days but I have yet to find a channel quite like yours.

[@tor-bjornadelgren3517]

Matthias is one the easy going cool guys on the you tube, no fuzz no bragging just make things and solving practical problems.

[@cpobyrne1]

Matthias is a legend!

[@moondane888]

Why so bitter over Matthias?

[@mrprimenumbers6448]

The guy has a great way of communicating with his viewer's. He shows how to build something and he does it in a way just about any one can follow amd understand and build.

[@womaninwood9177]

Wished I had his attitude. So freely and easily, lighthearted approaching new things.

[@dkbuilds]

Matthias was my main inspiration to START woodworking. I hope to one day have some inventions as cool and useful as his!

[@Paiadakine]

dk builds I’m dating myself but Norm Abrams was my inspiration. Plus I was cheap and couldn’t afford to buy new cabinets for a kitchen and bath remodel.

[@scyther1141]

He’s seems so much more relaxed and personable in the interview than his regular content.

[@anicecoldbepis]

In all fairness to him, it's way easier to talk to someone while the camera rolls than just to talk to the camera alone in the shop

[@EMTdrummer]

I love watching Matthias... a great combination of fearlessness, tenacity and brilliance..... and a squeak of humor now and again!!

[@TomSilver_42]

I was pottering around dad's workshop and that brought me ability to thing about how things work inside and why. And I see the same passion and ability in Matthias and I'm truly thankful I found him (which was not that hard, to be hones). And so he woke up this need, urge and passion for DIY something by my own hands in me again. Thank you Matthias !

[@metals2546]

One of the best channels on youtube. I remember watching one of Matthias videos years ago, and immediately realizing this man is significantly smarter than myself, and then slowly coming to the realization he is a genius. Well done Matthias, and continued success.

[@GregVirgoe]

I've also built a few Matthias machines, he is a great inspiration. I find the engineering videos fascinating. Great interview, cut a little short I was hoping for more. Thanks

[@gerpirk]

Be prepared for this to become your highest watched video. Matthias is awesome!

[@WigWagWorkshop]

gerpirk ya, just look at their view count on other videos, 6.5k compared to under 100 on most others.

[@lwoodt1]

Very smart man. I have been watching him since the beginning.

[@dontbugmeatthistime]

I have literally gotten into woodworking because of Mr. Wandel's videos

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

Yes and I'm one of those that got back into woodworking when I was forced into retirement at 68. Saved my bacon I don't mind telling you. Thank you Matthias.

[@terrytopliss6423]

I really appreciate your videos Matthias,as a retired engineer I understand a lot of the things you do and the woodworking machines you make. Keep up the good work,I've introduced some of my woodworking friends over here in the UK to your channel and they are enjoying your work too.

[@atlas227428]

Such a wonderful thing to hear that your dad inspired you and you went off on your own and did whatever you decided was worth doing. You have WONDERFUL parents to have given you that very admirable self motivation. All the best !

[@mikedickson2925]

Been watching Matthias for a while now and really enjoy how he engineers solutions to his problems out of wood. He, and then or course us, can make anything out of wood!! I know he sure can!!!

[@Kaunas-rx3qv]

Thank you Matthias for your excellent videos.

[@gratefulRed69]

this dude is amazingly skilled and talented. How he is able to design and build his own machines is remarkable to me. Truly one of the very best YT's out there.

[@davidmcgrath6507]

Matthias is a nice guy, the kind of guy with whom you would want to be friends. Congratulations on your success!

[@ChessKombat]

He is bang on about his engineering aspect and with how detail oriented he is.

[@luizgueiros1439]

I am from Brazil, Matthias Wandel to me is the best.

[@markbotner7878]

I very much enjoyed this video! I've watched many (probably the bulk) of Matthias' videos and built a pantorouter based on his plan that I purchased. As an engineer, I'm very impressed with all that he does!

[@sapelesteve]

I have been watching Matthias since he started on YT & always find his videos fascinating & enjoyable. I mean how the hell can you argue with GENIUS???

[@DesandSam]

Nice interview ! The outro music tho, too abrupt, much too loud. Anyone else jump?

[@sycc66]

RIP headphone users

[@jmangosing]

I crapped my pants but I am wearing a diaper so its ok.

[@fleanine]

This was a decent clip, I think even if people aren’t into woodworking or engineering, they can respect and appreciate what Matthias is doing. Such an awesome guy. And... for as smart as he is, he is very modest.

[@robertsmith3518]

We enjoy all your videos , it has inspired many folks to fire up the table/band saw that was siting collecting dust ! Now they are making saw dust thanks to you , Keep turning out the videos and we will keep watching .

[@Dave52732]

Lots of people can envision a way in which a tool could be helpful, but people like Mathias are rare as hen's teeth. Most people could not figure out how to engineer and produce those tools. Would love to be the neighbor that could hang out and marvel at the ingenuity of those projects. Thanks Mathias, for your interesting projects!

[@talk2kev]

I enjoy watching Matthias Wandel for many reasons . His personality he is a down to earth likable guy and also very smart, I like the fact that he shows his thought process and even what didn't work out and why he changed it, Most KZbin channels will cut that stuff out.I I think he can build anything out of wood if he sets his mind to. I really like the jigs and wood working equipment he builds, I will say when I first watched his channel many years ago I had my doubt about building machinery out of wood but after watching his videos the thought is what needs to be metal is metal and done very deliberate and stuff that take abuse will be hard wood. I also like the fact he takes old furniture and repurpose what he finds. He is also very comfortable talking to the camera. In all he is one of my favorite channels to watch.

[@gwmgbwi]

I got way way back into woodworking because of his videos. Life changing dude

[@ecwhite3621]

Two thumbs up and 5 gold stars!

[@ejwall]

Well that was an abrupt ending! Loved the video though.

[@spacewolfjr]

He seems like a man I could be a best friend with

[@driftscape9260]

A true inspiration to all makers, thanks Matthias your a legend

[@AdamKyleAnderson]

I love Matthias. He is an awkward genius :-)

[@bjornbauer1092]

TheMessiah `

[@mickenoss]

An hour of binge watching his channel and you'll see what TheMessiah meant, he is not just a woodworker.

[@AdamKyleAnderson]

Try watching his videos and you will see.

[@illezt]

matthias wandel is a german engineer and a genius

[@mindkiller76]

illezt He's Canadian.

[@DolfocarAli]

I loved woodworking because of you Thank you very much

[@michaelcrump7225]

Would love to see 100 more videos of Matthias behind the scenes talking.

[@thetinywoodworkshop]

A genius and without a doubt one of the most inspiring makers here on youtube. Very interesting apects from an established creator's perspective.

[@mickenoss]

I can't remember how I found his channel. It was either the build your own bandsaw project, the long reach clamps or the mouse catching ones. But it's always a good day when one of his videos appears in my feed. I particularly like the way he tests his builds, usually by hanging off them or jumping on them. =)

[@macedindu829]

I found him when someone posted the video of him making a honeycomb-style cake-cutter on reddit. It's basically a useless tool for the most part, but I couldn't believe how well thought out his approach to that was. Over the course of the next week I watched a ton of videos. Absolutely amazing stuff. His creativity and his mastery over multiple disciplines is basically unmatched from what I've found on youtube.

[@mickenoss]

Binge watching is a part of the obsession. I think I've watched em all now, but occasionally I find one I missed. =)

[@lmedwards4256]

I have looked at many of your video. I made a living working with wood, architectural structures mostly but compared to your engineering skills I pale in comparison. You are absolutely amazing!

[@3rdaxis649]

Nice guy. Been watching his videos since the marble machine.

[@mikem7788]

love watching this guy, seems like he is slowing down a bit on videos. Glad he has alot already out there.

[@naybobdenod]

Obviously a thumbs up and thanks so much for a great video. Greetings from the UK. John.

[@nafitron]

Great interview and view into this Matthias! Thanks.

[@woodsprout]

Great interview, I have learned a lot from Matthias over the years.

[@watcherdude1330]

You Sir. Make me proud to be CANADIAN 🇨🇦

[@CKTDanny]

Watched the video because of Matthias

[@wassupjg]

well obviously...

[@keiththrelkeld5890]

I have watched most of your videos And never get tired of seeing what you come up with next. This video interested me because of the insight that it gives to who you are as a person and you are always intriguing to watch. I THINK that I am creative, but, I know that you are lol

[@hugocabellosballadares6645]

Hola mathias es un honor saludarte eres un gran maestro de país eres. Yo soy de Trujillo PERÚ

[@MrTridac]

My favourite KZbin videomaker by miles ❤💚💚

[@magicrobharv]

Matthias is a genius.

[@crosby3108]

You are amazing I'm getting into wood working now

[@stefanbergvall3268]

He is no 1 in woodworking. I have built the Quick-set tenon jig and it's awesome. The jig is so accurate whith no play.

[@420bakersarmy]

Matthias is my favorite KZbinr.

[@Heim-Handwerker]

Best woodworker ever!!!!! 👍

[@williambranham6249]

That is debatable!

[@Skeluz]

Probably the only "KZbinrs" videos that I can honestly say that I've watched them all.

[@jasonlajoie]

He taught me the best way to wax my snowboard in one of his videos!

[@christiangeiselmann]

Most important elements fir his success: honesty, personality, intelligence, aesthetics.

[@quilikestrel]

When i read the name Mathias Wande, at 0,46 second, l I noticed an important wor; INVENTOR, thtat´s important for us. He helps to all of us who loved his job Thanks Mathias. Saludos desde Ecuador.

[@Thalarctos.]

MATTHIAS is the creative imagination ...♥♥♥

[@felixthecrazy]

Just used the screw advance box joint jig that Matthias designed this afternoon.

[@devappler]

Definitely a dream of mine to meet Matthias

[@RealBeautyRealFoodandRealLife]

Interesting story. The woodworker is has a nicely organized tool shelf. Marbel machine really awesome. sj

[@MarcosLopez-hy3px]

Genio y figura!!!!

[@williampugh6699]

A genius indeed.

[@hotrodhog2170]

Need a link to the whole interview!

[@yiyongleng7157]

Matthias is the best!

[@Wojtik042]

What a sudden transition at the end, caught me by surprise. I Was expecting at least ten more minutes of interview, lol :D

[@chrispagobo]

This man is a genius!

[@benchbuilder]

You should have a schol and teach, you have so much to give!!!

[@womaninwood9177]

KZbin is this school!

[@geofham8332]

Seems to be a great guy, very modest also.

[@alialnajm789]

Love Matthias from Iraq.

[@Reconbox1001]

Good interview... spot on :)

[@jonnywaselectric]

He is a very clever fellow, he sure knows how to design and improve his builds

[@pennyroyal3813]

Wish that interview was 45 minutes longer.

[@spinningchurro]

Good job Matthias.

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

He could have started making videos one month ago and still have the same amount of following, simply cause he is a genius, he always looks for the best and simple way to reach the best results, so matthias's way is always the best way

[@eladio4365]

You are a genious sir,,

[@ionymous6733]

I remember using Matthias' jpeg code from his website over 20 years ago, and staying to see his other cool projects.

[@massimo6432]

Matthias us the biggest One!!!

[@aaronacj]

Been watching this guy for years, glad he didn't combs his hair even for this.

[@tocboatman]

The ingredients of Matthias's success should also include his evident integrity, in part manifested in a very cautious and sparing approach to sponsorship by big tool manufacturers. Canadian too, Matthias and John Heisz's culture and style make a pleasant change to the numerous (excellent) American makers, particularly to viewers in the UK perhaps. Thanks Matthias.

[@williambranham6249]

I like John as well but less anger and frustration would be nice.

[@mytrashaccount3630]

link to the whole interview please Rogers ?

[@thisguylovebananas]

He just awesome...nothing much I can say...

[@SDKsa1]

ayyyy Matthias!!!

[@danielcoleman3111]

I'm anxiously waiting for your take one a table raising unit for a drill press.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Excellent points!

[@terrigelbaum8066]

I love stories about your dad.

[@d0pomein]

I watch Mathias' video's because hes a funny little Canadian guy who does things differently than I do. He has some good ideas and he makes stuff. I make stuff too.

[@luisadrianomeusparabens6863]

meus parabéns vc simplesmente é espetacular ti a dimiro muito gostaria de ser um aluno seu na marcenaria vc e de mais ..vc simplesmente faz arte da melhor qualidade sou seu fã de carteirinha. meu amigo peço a Deus que ti abençoe sempre

[@TK-qu1ht]

Yay Mattias! Another person you all need to feature is Matt on 50 Ducks in a Hot Tub. He is raising ducks to give to homeless shelter and their eggs to food banks... like 2,500 eggs per month!
