I think that's why Matthias is so popular .not only is he absolutely incredible at his craft his videos are detailed enough without sounding over complicated. And he has lots of strange quarks which I'm sure as many of us do absolutely love. Always a fan sincerely Iowa USA
It used to be kinda my highlight of fridays to come home from work and watch Matthiases new video. This jumping test in the end put a huge wide grin on my face for some reason. Maybe it's because it made me feel like matthias is back on business, even though i'm willing to sacrifice my own viewing pleasure for his arm to get better.
To see you jump on the bench brought joy to my heart and a loud burst of laughter! SO good to see you back - be careful and don't relapse. Best early Christmas present I could imagine.
@@tf5pZ9H5vcAdBp I'm not sure what point you are making - Mathias has been on a 'hiatus' since being diagnosed with severe tendonitis, and during that time he also moved homes. It is an absolute pleasure to see him recovered enough to return to what he does SO well, and apparently loves. But tendonitis can recur, especially if he does too much too soon - and none of us want that to happen.
@@edwardtse8631 I'd say ikea hollow cardboard "crap" is actually better than some shitty particle board stuff that'll never goes together like it's planned. Atleast ikea shit is easy to assemble and is fairly good quality for the price.
@@skharppi Easy to assemble? A nightmare to assemble! They design it so it takes up the least amount of space in shipping, not for the ease of assembly, unfortunately.
Using the two clamps to close the joints is almost certainly better for your elbows too. It's really good to see you back in the workshop in recent videos. Thanks for sharing the errors as well as the successes - a dose of reality is very useful for those of us still learning - too many videos have just the smooth-sailing parts. I'm very close to finishing my 20" bandsaw now. After a 8-9 month unplanned hiatus, I've picked it back up again and am working on the enclosure right now. Cheers, Craig
I think this is the only channel I learn something new every time I watch. I must have watched a hundred 'how to make a workbench with drawers' videos and Matthias *still* manages to come up with some new takes, tips and tricks.
I can't imagine anyone else would even come up with "drawbored floating tenon, featuring drywall screws" as an assembly method, but it makes sense now that I've seen it.
thank you for that video. i can see all your jigs and machines coming into play now. This is a nice balance of the aesthetic and practicality. in past projects you have reminded me of my dad, also an engineer turned woodworker, who was ingenious and practical but couldn't care less about the appearance of shop projects. Even though his attention to detail on client furniture was impeccable. Since my dad died I am gradually replacing shelves, benches and drawers etc with better efforts because i am embarrassed that clients might think they represent my standard of workmanship Of course everything in our shop performed its duty perfectly well, but it just looked uncared about . glad to see you are now attending to the finished appearance just a little bit more. this bench looks really elegant .
While I enjoy the projects from concept to creation, the most enjoyable part for me is in seeing all the fantastic creations he uses to create these things. Amazing talents on display!
@@jeezusjr My thoughts too, a nearly full sheet of plywood that isn't more curved than the moon AND a nailgun that works still. Even if it jams, I don't think I'll ever see a dumpster that grand.
I've got two of them that I found also. Someone blew out the gasket by using too much pressure, they can only handle about 80 psi. I bought new gaskets and they have worked fine for me since then.
I am so pleased to have you back and at this level of build. Good stuff. I am in Vancouver, BC. BC is the forgotten province because Ottawa cannot see us hiding behind the Rocky Mountains. It is raining today, again. WE had three dry months, so the rain is a return to normal Wet West Coast weather.
I think the thing that I find most inspiring about your channel, Matthias, is that you do everything with a very modest setup and not endless funds dumped into tools.
I watch a lot of woodworking vids and you are the best, no bull s..., straight in, and the confidence to show the odd little detour from the plan. Keep it up. There is a new audience waiting, my grandkids will be watching with me soon. Thanks for the advice on my dodgy band saw last week. Cheers Dave from Portsmouth ,

I got the blueprint of the two machines you designed and used. very useful to me. Greetings from turkey👋🙏
Jump test = smiles. This video is like a greatest hits for why I love MW. Ingenuity, cool tools, thrifty, understated functional design, clear story telling. It's fitting that the video that has it all would be about a workbench.
Matthias, I've been following you for years now, since you were a young boy until now. And I have to tell you that in all those years you have grown into a great skilled carpenter. I started when I was 14 years old (and am 62 now ) and I have worked my life with a lot of good carpenters and we are all very handy but you are really one of the better ones you only come across occasionally. I look with great pleasure at all your videos and am still occasionally surprised at the smart features that you use. Your inventions and the way you make everything yourself are fantastic, I am sure that your patents will be applied all over the world. Bravo and thank you!
I really enjoy watching build videos. What a treat this was! So glad to see that your arms are allowing you to build again! Although, I tend to agree with Adam Savage that drawers are where things go to die. I personally try to avoid many of them in the shop. I love seeing the jumping sit test. Makes me smile every time.
I had a Black & Decker brad nailer that would always jam. It's in the can now and I broke down and bought a RyobiOne 18 ga brad nailer (battery) and love it. No jamming, great nailing.
Wow my friend! Is good see you make wood things back again! PLEASE don't stop never more! Your videos are amazing to watching. Good teacher. Great math
I have a Mastercraft nail gun that looks IDENTICAL to your Porter Cable one, but it's blue. It, too, jams often. I suspect it's a generic model that just gets rebranded for a bunch of different companies.
Mathias, you are a genius, the jigs you have designed and built are amazing, love your videos, and your skills are up there with the best thanks for posting from Garry in the UK
I love iron wood. Got a few cuts from a friend a few years ago and i'm hooked. I have since changed all the wooden handles in the house with iron wood, natural or stained, and what do you know, no more dings, scratches, and to a degree, it's also impervious to the usual staining of dirty hands. I'm wondering how good it would be for sliders, but i'll have to source more wood for that. Such a neat species.
Great job Matthias! It is good to see you making again!! Your jump test would mean a bit more if you weighed a bit more. Now back to the woodshop to build some drawers!!
I have the opposite experience with porter cable. I have the same gun in this video. I have 18 guage and a their brad-nailer that came in a kit with a pancake compressor. I am on my 3rd house remodel where I replaced all the finished carpentry includine new doors, crown, and countless other uses and they have held up well after 5 years of being used at least once every two weeks on average. I bought my 3rd bank owned house and fix it up while I live in it. Anyway, IMO I would purchase porter cable nail guns again.
While most woodworkers will recite the old addage "you can never have enough clamps," for Matthias I think it should be "you can never have enough workbenches." And here I am shoving popcorn into my face watching every one of them.
I'm pretty stoked i got myself ripping some boards for the first time in my life on a new table saw and then i see this video and want to cry at all the things I don't know about woodworking.
God bless ya brother great video. Tbh I couldn’t believe how amazing your joinery was, wickedly impressed man. I was a little stunned about the drawer box construction, I’m going to trust your acumen on this one brother.
Cool cabinet but I'm not sure if it is sturdy enough to support a vise. The whole thing will probably vibrate and rock when hacksawing through some steel.
I enjoyed this project Matthias, simple materials for this build I always built with the crossbars I will try using box joints on my next build thanks for sharing this one. Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.
