Big bandsaw build 4: Blade guides

[@jwsvandr]

On the wall above this computer I have a picture of my daughter, sitting on my workbench, with a wooden mallet "helping" me with a project. She is now 38. I miss those times. Enjoy these times with your child they are the best. Great video. Keep them coming.

[@Zorbawon]

Matthias, as I watched this video I kept thinking of a comment my coworker made to me when I was building my house, "You know you can purchase them already built?!" Good work, keep them coming.

[@thestalkinghead]

seeing your homemade bandsaws sort of flipped a switch in my head that made me realise things like this are possible to make yourself

[@WJCTechyman]

Mr. Wandell, you never fail to amuse me with your videos. Your daughter is adorable too.

[@TheHomelessNinja]

your intelligence makes this videos that much more enjoyable. never fumbling to explain something like so many videos out there. also your kid is freaking adorable. good job! :D

[@martinstocker8975]

...this blade-guide work of yours left me behind with open mouth and almost no more breathing... unbeliefable and parallysing well done... congratulations...

[@joehunter692]

I have absolutely no need for a bandsaw, but you make me want to build one.Your videos are great. I look forward the next video

[@SteveCarmichael]

It's so fun watching you build stuff like this. Good to see the little one make an appearance.

[@ronkluwe4875]

Marcus; If you are worried about the bolts tearing out from the wood, soak the screw area in the wood with CA glue. This fills the pores in the wood fibers and makes the screw threads much stronger. You might have to re-tap the threads after the CA sets up, but that will be a quick job. I always enjoy watching your work and seeing how you re-purpose old wood and items into usable tools. Regards; Ron Kluwe

[@ronkluwe4875]

My apologies, I should have said Mathias, not Marcus. No idea where the Marcus came from ;)

[@dustinm2717]

+Ron Kluwe you can edit comments (at least on the desktop site)

[@Wordsnwood]

A lot of neat techniques in this one. As always, I'm enjoying the build.

[@GreenAppelPie]

Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) I never thought of threading wood for a machine screw

Hello Mathias, Have been watching your videos for a very long time now and admire your ingenuity.I am not into woodwork at all but?? I like the new apprentice you got in your workshop. The youinger they are the better they learn. Regards and good wishes

[@asulliv1954]

With a helper like Harriet he can't go wrong(ure son is gorgeous,God Bless Him)I love ure videos because what man can make with steel and aluminum Matthias Wandel can make better with wood!!Keep up the awesome work!!!

[@Meticularius]

1/6/2019 USA Grandpa Bill: Through the decades Canadians have given the world many good inventions and products, many of which the world thinks came from other sources. Matthias is another gift from Canada, and although born and raised in his early years in Germany, he is now a national treasure of Canada and KZbin. And just as strongly as I mean my praise I hope there are enough Maple trees in Canada for Matthias' projects. I wish I had a supply here as he does. It's always a treat to see Harriet. Both Grandma and I just smile and ooh and ahh. Harriet seems to be such a happy baby. And I don't worry about her one bit in the shop. If Mom weren't around I know Matthias has a sharp eye on her, even behind him. Harriet will be doing calculus in a few months.

[@ibluedesolation]

I love your videos. They relax me. Thank you for them. I especially love the parts where you do time lapse. The sounds are glorious.

[@marshallbrummel1860]

A nerd with shop experience and an awesome work space. Well done sir!

[@alejandrotoscano674]

Very clever the detail of the modified washer and nut!!! Not only woodworking mate! Really engineering here. Congrats.

[@jacobpryor5935]

Fantastic video! Good to see more progress on the band saw and it's great that you've got a tiny helping hand now too!

[@kahaunosaty2083]

Najlepší stolár akého som v živote videl (the best joiner carpenter I´ve ever seen)

[@johnnycondor]

Excellent choice of Lignum Vitae for the guide blocks, Matthias! Numerous examples of Old World machines -- many still working today! -- use(d) this wood for gears and such. I keep some of it on hand myself for special use when extreme hardness is required.

[@bbrewe71]

Your vids are amazing and you are an excellent teacher. Harriet is super cute and when she gets older you should do some vids showing you teaching her your skills.

[@AS-yc9nm]

Best channel for people who love invent or innovate something :)

[@callitagain]

Harriet was dancing to your mallet work @ 8:38.. So cute! Thanks for the upload.

[@eeFiroK]

even tho i would never woodwork , either due to lazyness or knowledge, i really like watching your videos, good work !!

[@francisbarnett]

Could you please make a video using your scales setup to test the strength of threaded bolts in timber. Thanks for the excellent content.

[@eat_things]

I wake up on Friday and the first thing I do is check if matthias has uploaded his video

[@MoZz..]

same! every single day i check... :(

[@snowcoalRC]

just turn on email notifications like I do. I dont even have to check!

[@pork4343]

Same here

[@wilborth5th]

He’s an extraterrestrial man, I got to that conclusion I have no doubt about it

[@mikedickson2925]

The engineering of your band saw is some nice to see!!!

[@jean-pascalmounier1373]

Vous êtes exceptionnel. Respect. Ancien menuisier a la retraite, finissant mes travaux intérieures de notre maison, je vais me mettre a fabriquer vos trés belles machines, rien que pour le plaisir du beau travail. Tank you.

[@gordotiti]

The star of the video, Harriet😍. Lucky man.

[@truth1923]

Always a pleasure to see your work. This has been a cool project.

[@TheGuillermo32]

Mathias, i have seen you make almost anything in wood. Improving, enhancing and looking for alternative ways to do precisely, cheaper and simple. Solving design issues and explaining "how to". have you ever plain to make some tool for naval modelism. Few companies make tools for modelism and usually very expensives. thanks for your videos, always a pleasure look at them.

[@branbeno77]

I love watching your videos. Its so interesting to see how you make most of the tools you use out of wood. You are a true artist. Please keep making awesome and informative videos. :)

[@macedindu829]

Seeing your daughter play with the hammer was very cute.

[@MrMarcaap]

You are a very talented individual and I really enjoy watching your builds

[@jjr56991]

super cool I really enjoy the videos on self made shop equipment.

[@tbotlik]

I like how in this series he always finishes with what the subject of his next video will be... :)

[@shanetimberedowl9541]

YAY! TRUNNIONS! Man I can't wait till these plans come out.

[@bartoszpucilowski4051]

That's looking really good Matthias.

[@katzul99]

I'm really loving this series.

[@doug.ritson]

Bring your daughter to work day. Thanks for sharing Matt.

[@skinnwalk3r586]

Just awsome watching you build stuff which is severals parts, means we all have something to enjoy :) also Mathias, continue you good work with woodworking and stay healthy :)

[@dessertaz5560]

Your Builds are the coolest and I really enjoy your daughter is really cute a getting big!!!

[@donfinch862]

there's a lot of surface area there on the thread, gotta work. nice job. nice Harriet

[@clausfriishansen2247]

Not only educational but also a pleasure to watch :)

[@Apathymiller]

Man id love to have ya help me "make" a shop. Your brain just works so much differently than mine. Theres no way i could have come up with this on my own. Not being vane or conceded but im an intelligent person. Some of your videos just make me feel dumb lol. Great series for this build and all the others as well. Thanks for putting this stuff out there. Really enjoy the channel.

[@perky137]

Matthias is such a nice chap.

[@jonq8714]

Fantastic work as per usual Matthias.

[@arkano01]

is so wonderful when u have the right tools.

[@iambiggus]

Keep in mind, none of this video has been sped up. He's just that good folks.

[@xFanGame23]

iambiggus and the talking and editing is in real time he can even hold the camera while building

[@johnnycondor]

LOL I wish i could work that fast! ;-D

[@ibrahimgoma7779]

annoyingly good

[@thumbsup9639]

We appreciate your videos and would enjoy seeing more of Harriet.....maybe her own channel? :)

[@alherbert5437]

You are a very smart man, thank you for sharing. I look forward to the next project

[@Laaaario]

Lovin these bandsaw build videos . Great job!

[@francooton2382]

la verdad sos un maestro te felicito de aca en argentina ojala pudiese hacer algo tan maravlilloso como lo haces tenes todas las herramietas te felicito inmensamente

[@llehekil1309]

Don't worry about wearing a grove in the lower bearing. I've had ball-bearing guides on my Powermatic 14" band saw for years now, and narry a sign of wear.

[@joshrountree]

Awesome, I think Harriet should make more appearances!

[@carloshumbertocarranzahern6278]

Exelente ya ise mi cierra de cinta e visto todos tus vídeos me quedo genial gracias a tus vídeos saludos desde guatemala

[@gabrielsilvagaboo]

Hola tienes los planos. Exelente trabajo imprecionante me gusta mucho lo que hace!!! Saludos desde argentina

[@WildmanTech]

Coming together nicely!

[@otonielgonzalez7035]

Very nice video, I enjoyed so much ! Thanks Matthias

[@plunder1956]

Are you getting the next generation woodworker started early? Boy they grow up fast!

[@claudelefebvre3076]

you know what , i cant wait to see you make own drill press !

[@strangersound]

Good project for his lathe. :)

[@vicdelrosario4099]

I will make another one more bandsaw. because i 'll bring it to another place.i had one already but having other one is an option.thanks wandell.

[@cariboocustomwoodworks6528]

another great video and I'd like to tackle this project in the future.

[@samhenderson2947]

This build seems a lot more nuanced. nice evolution. oh and Harriet is growing at a similar rate to the bandsaws.

[@samhenderson2947]

Next a 30 inch bandsaw.

[@shredthegnar6758]

You cut so well on a bandsaw. Would you consider making a video with some cutting tips?

[@keithgoldston2859]

I like the more of a break down of this set of videos great work

[@roylucas1027]

Great video. I guess it really helps to have a paper plan. I tend to wing it, but am starting to see the errors of my ways.

[@eyesrajones]

Another great video. Thanks for the great content.

[@salvadormari478]

Es muy agradable verte trabajar !

[@wilborth5th]

Salvador Marí cosa seria el hombre con la madera da gusto verlo.

[@anthonydibiase3373]

Great Work Matthias Wandel

[@Pietrogramma]

You are a genius, but not a normal genius but the major of genius :-)

[@khalidsm72]

Great job you are doing, but please be more careful. I know someone who was killed by a suddenly cut band saw blade that severely injured his head, he was using it without closing the two protective covers of the band saw. This accident happened about ten years ago in Baghdad.

[@MyGarageBuild]

I wonder if varnish in those threaded wood holes would also add some strength.

[@andresrodriguez5736]

Another great and descriptive project.

[@jaistanley]

Bloody hell! Harriot grew quickly!!

[@Louhari]

5/5 video! Big fan from finland here!

[@onjofilms]

Another good guide material is phenolic resin, or bakelite.

[@wilborth5th]

onjoFilms haaaa???? I was confused already and you made it worse jejeje, please take that as a compliment

[@nimajnebsurrab]

I'm amazed. Nice work.

[@snappytom8818]

Really loving this build

[@alepmsistemas]

Mathias what the Brazilian Giulliano asked was to allow the translator of simultaneous captions of google, not that you translated into Portuguese. Only we use google to translate our request, and sometimes it's difficult to understand

[@PaskMakes]

Awesome build. I like the blade guides, a little different to your 16" bandsaw that I built earlier this year.

[@ohhpaul7364]

Thank you for making these videos. I appreciate your work and want to share and having watched the other bandsaw builds helped me to repair my own guide when the cast aluminum guide broke off. That said, I have been thinking about making one of these so I could use it to cut metal such as steel for my other hobbies. but have had a hard time figuring out how to slow the speed down enough to make it work. Do you have an idea for that? Also, is there a chance we could get you to make a 2"x 72" belt grinder like the kind used for knife making? I was curious as to what your version of one would be. Thanks for the vids, keep up the good show.

[@poco1990]

Beautiful little helper! 😊

[@eddieplayer7740]

That baby is so cute. Also stop being so good at woodworking!!!! Your making me feel bad. (Kidding)

[@dozer1642]

Harriet is adorable.

[@greycard163]

while enjoying watching something so sopesophisticate made, a cute little girl pops out, hahaha:) say hi to your daughter!

[@jlunde35]

Love the adorable baby cameo appearance.

[@BillyTheTapeworm]

What's the reasoning behind the interesting new "V" layout for the guide blocks as opposed to the blocks with a slot in them like on your previous bandsaws?

[@matthiaswandel]

gets the blocks down to the bottom edge of the guide

[@BillyTheTapeworm]

Ah, thanks.

[@trollnapf1670]

Thank you for this great video just what I needed to replace a broken guide on a vintage bandsaw. I might missed it but why did you cut the metal flat stock more narrow?

[@steveho9884]

Make sure you put miter gauge slot for miter gauge too and dust collection too.

[@petergriffen6008]

I wish I had half your brain. You're pretty damn smart! Your videos are awesome!

[@RickRabjohn]

Great and interesting video as always!!!!!!!! Thank you...

[@HMaktoum]

Hi matthias. what is the best wheel size for a blade 2 meters long

[@aaronthomas8834]

with the mounting of the upper guide arm and the locking mechanism, I'm surprised you didn't inlay a steel or aluminum t-track into the back of the guide arm, bore directly back perpendicular through the upper frame and use a t-bolt and star knob on back to tighten the guide arm. I'd be really interested to see a video on the difference in clamping force between the two mechanisms.

[@GiullianoMoraisPires]

Mathias, for the last time, releases the KZbin translation, not everyone understands English and / or has an interest in understanding. I want to buy your plans, but how can I if I do not know what you're talking about?

[@matthiaswandel]

In that case, best not to buy the plans.

[@GiullianoMoraisPires]

OK thank you. I did not know he was so rude. He lost an inscription for his attitude.

[@kieran_hammond]

I don't think he'll miss an _inscription_. :)

[@Plankner]

never change, Matthias.

[@20110102]

lol i thought it was just a meme that Brazilians thought the world revolved around them

[@nickkk420]

Great video Matthias

[@seanknight9898]

You're a Wizard Matthias Wandel.

[@Alisnafi67]

احسنتم على هذا العمل الرائع ,, عاشت الأيادي

[@darrengreenwood8846]

Brilliant video yet again

[@ErikAnderson1]

Nice Video Matthias

[@jamesthepuerilis]

Love the video's Matthias, big thumbs up :)

[@gabbleratchet1048]
