A compilation of my box joint jig video series from 2012, edited down to one 20-minute video. woodgears.ca/bo... Part 1 of the original series from 2012: • Building the box joint...
5/28/2019 USA Grandpa Bill: I am so blessed just to get to see this stuff done. I never got a chance in my 71 years to see this stuff because I was always into something else. While as a mill worker, I made arched windows and doors, many curved construction pieces for prefab restaurants, etc. All our equipment was production oriented with iterations of 200 at a time. Watching you Matthias is a treat. I'm broken or severely worn in several places and 40% to 60% of the time confined to this chair stacked with pillows. I get out to the shop-garage as much as I can physically stand it. I enjoy trying my hand at some of the interesting things you do. I'm glad you are on RU-vid and there are so many of your videos. I'm even buying some of your plans. Your mechanical facility of mind, intense curiosity, never-ending energy just fascinate me and I look forward to seeing what "Matthias is up to this time." You truly belong in my hall of fame of national treasures who are those people so gifted and productive as to be inspirational. Thank you for being here and most of all demonstrating the humility of the true learner.
The original video is my woodworking singularity. This video sparked something in me when it first came out. I had only a circular saw and a few tools then. Now I have a well outfitted garage. Watching this again today I’m just as excited and stimulated as I was by it then. Thanks for the inspiration. Your videos do more for people than you may ever know.
This dude IS awsome! Ilove the way he thinks,its like magic. I got another good youtuber for you with the same but differenttype of magical mind , his name is Uri Tuchman. Yoir welcome lol
Just in case you are wondering, yes this video did have an extra 24 second "intro" on it, which I removed just before the video hit 100k views. I can trip stuff off a video before it hits 100k views. The intro was for people who follow the channel to explain why the "repeat". For people who don't follow the channel closely, it won't be that obvious that this is a repeat from early 2012.
I've been watching your videos since the siren one and they are the best. No clickbait, no nonsense, just quality skillful woodwork. Haven't touched woodworking myself since primary school but you singlehandedly keep my interest afloat, much appreciated and keep it up!
Seems like just yesterday when I watched the original version of this video. Can't believe that it has been six years. So, why did I watch this yet again, because it's always fun watching a genius wood worker do his thing, that's why!............................. :)
There are very very few woodworking youtubers out there who are truly committed to inspire other woodworkers. You are definitely one of "them". Easily in top 3. You have more than a million subscribers now. A well deserved recognition world wide. Thank you for your dedication and contribution - Mr. Genius. Keep it up and God bless you.

Absolutely this is the most sophisticated jig I've ever seen in my life. However, I hope I'm not wrong if I said that you are a masterpiece of your kind Matthias. So, keep working ⚒ and inspiring.
A little over a year ago I had a terrible flare up with my auto immune which prevented me from engaging in just about all of my hobbies for about 4 months. I understand the frustration you're dealing with and the best advice i have is to keep yourself busy come hell or high water. You've got the benefit of two kids and a new house so I trust you'll have an easier time with this than I did ;)
In terms of build projects - building good relations with two youngsters and a wife and dispensing with one house and adopting another is quite an undertaking in itself. Good luck better health to him and you.
I didn't ever seem to have time to watch a whole series of videos on the build, so this shorter one was really good. While you are recovering, what a great way to keep the interest in your core activity without dragging your health backwards. We all want you better. But, no pressure. Best wishes mate.
I appreciate the superior editing skills and the effort, but for me I liked the slower pace of the original videos. I always felt that after watching all of the parts of one of your projects, I could in principle design and build it myself if I really wanted to. This video whips by so quickly there's no time to think about why you've done things the way you have. BTW, I've bought the plans for and built your box joint jig and used it a great deal!
The pause button can be your friend there and keep Notepad or some such open for note taking. Though, yep, on a mobile phone that might not be as feasible.
I've wondered why more youtubers haven't started doing this. I'm much more likely to watch a freshened up old video than I am to take the time to go back in your video catalog and rewatch something. RU-vid focuses so much on only what's been newly uploaded so re-uploading things seems to be the next step. Just like re-runs on TV, or remastered re-releases of films. Hopefully this will serve you well while your tendinitis heals.
Well, Matthias, you inspired me to build this jig and does it ever do the job well! I purchased your plans for it, printed them out and found they were spot on for dimensions and information, so I recommend them highly. The jig works wonderfully. After a few experimental joints of 1/4 and 1/2 inch, I built a small box with 1/ inch finger joints, just using the width of the saw blade itself. Worked great! Now on to larger projects. One word of advice to other builders in the US: do as I did and get yourself a pocket rule and a tape measure in metric! You'll need them for future work if you follow Matthias.
It's not just a genius woodworker it's also the superb videos, the plans & the ingenuity along with the humble disposition which makes this website so popular, & the best.
Every time that I watch one of your videos I think that you're a genius. I bought the plans for your box joint jig and your bandsaws... I hope I can find time to build them. I feel like the bandsaw should be first as it's so useful for a lot of the other jigs and tools that you've built.
Very nicely done! Your tight editing with a sequential step by step is much less intimidating for less experienced woodworkers like myself. I don't know how typical I am of your viewers but I now feel enabled to try to make one myself. I would love to see similar re-edits of other projects.
Witammm!!Pomyslowe i ciekawie rozwiazanie ulepszenia stolu do pilarki,duzo pracy,duza wiedza!!Ulepszenia stanowiska w takim warsztacie zawsze pomaga!!Super!!Dobry material filmowy wiele mowi o nas samych jak i naszym warsztacie pracy!!Prima!!Okey!!
Absolutely! I just finished mine a few months ago. Setup is ridiculously fast, adjustments for different cuts are ridiculously fast, and you can always fine-tune how tight your joint is by going an extra tooth or two for thicker stock.
@@vladg5216 ~ If you don't like that it has gears, then you don't understand the value of the gears, when it comes to fine-adjusting finger width. The gears are purely practical.
Just found your channel & I've been binge watching. I like your V-Notch block. You can use the drill drill press to start a tap to get it square with the surface.
I've made this jig, and I'm still enjoying watching you make it. This one I made is too heavy. I'm going to make another lightweight one.I'm glad to see your video.
Mathias, real quickly if you're ever looking for the perfect wood to use as a spring try using crape myrtle. It's a fantastic wood for such things and in certain parts of N America, especially southern areas it's very plentiful. Many people use it to make bow and arrows and it's nearly impossible to snap apart.
A long time ago a craftsman I looked up to as a mentor told me "You can tell a true craftsman by the jigs he builds" .... Craftsman level 100. Enough said.
The hardest part of the whole operation was planing down the hardwood for the face of the carriage box, on my next one, I will glue on the 3/4" stock I got from the box store and then trim the thickness on the table saw. This was a fun build.
Can you please show how this jig is used? I appreciate your attention to detail and the double/triple fail safe features you are showing while you build this jig. Actually anything you build!
Nice editing Matthias. :) I still like your longer videos and the parted ones too. Even so, it was good to watch the compilation! Thank you for all the amazing videos!
You should have edited out the long sleeve shirt to reduce safety comments... Lol I still love your videos... I remember watching this with my dad and he was like man's that dude is a genius... And I still agree...
Yeah, the old video and the bandsaw builds inspired countless RU-vid channels. It's nice to have the short version, but the old one was great. I would say that you are the number one "influencer" in making for me. You were a RU-vid gateway drug. I hope you are not in too much pain from tendinitis. I'm still undecided about which one to build, John Heisz's, Stumpy Nubs or yours. Need a good table saw first. And wouldn't it be great to have a mortising machine instead of drilling those holes?
Hey Mattias, it seems you give a lot of thought to what videos to make and how to ensure an appropriate reward to you as a creator, despite YT's changing rules. Thanks for sharing those thoughts in several of your videos. My strong sense is you know what you're doing and have great instincts. Keep on doing what you're doing and as always, thanks for making and sharing!!
Matthias, since you have some slack time in your project management constellation maybe you could consider a foray tangent or diversion into model railroading.
Your projects are of such high quality! It makes the stuff that I make look like I did them with a dull hatchet while sleep deprived :-). How about a video on sharpening hatchets?
Matthias, dude, how come so many of your recent build vids don't have captions enabled? I'm not asking for much I'm just deaf and would like to know what it is you're saying! Thanks!
a lot of the newer videos are actually recut older ones. Like this one, the original is in 4 parts, he cut it to fit in one. He has arm problems right now so he cant really lift/build stuff and hes taking a break till his arm heals. Maybe thats why? If anything, these "new" videos have a lot of material cut out so you really aren´t missing anything if you have seen the older videos.
I enjoyed the remix. My impression is that you just edited out all the dependent clauses. I’m beginning to make a small workshop in my basement and would appreciate some wisdom from you on workshop logistics, especially for a cramped space. A video explaining the best places to arrange things on a workbench is what I’m thinking. Keep up the great work and I hope to see some more new builds in a year or so!
Well, and that's the question, right? What is the best material for a CNC? There's the Mostly Printed CNC where it's basically a bunch of pipe, printed parts and hardware.
Alright Matthias, where's the Arduino and stepper motors. Come on man that was 2012 for Gods sake. Keep up with the times! Seriously tho, I think that would be a perfect project for you to tackle. Should be right up your alley.
@@natalieisagirlnow i don't think tendonitis prevents him from using a computer. It would be a nice way of him growing his audience. He us a master at what he does, so i cant even try to think that i can do what he does. Im just saying this in good faith as sketchup woodworking Tutorials are quite rare and he might benefit greatly from this as a substitute.
I think it's one of his own most used jigs and features in quite a few of his project build videos where the table saws are used. On his website this page at the bottom for many examples - woodgears.ca/box_joint/jig.html
Not too many - we know he is recuperating from his injury so is restricted in possible build projects and is now doing less taxing physical work like talks and this reedit from his back list.
You are sitting next to your computer with a video of you at your computer on screen with a video of you at your computer on that screen. Wandel-ception. Very nice work sir. I think anyone with a table saw could use this.
You may want to go see a physiotherapist if you have not already, best decision I made when my tendinitis flared up, my doctor wanted me to go to physio and also get a Cortisone injection. i could not afford to do both at the time, so i chose to go to physio even though it ended up costing more than the Cortisone. but the Cortisone is only a temporary fix, and with the right exercises, i have kept it at bay for over a year now and have managed to renovate the bathroom while working full time as a programmer.
@@matthiaswandel I don’t have the same experience as you and I find it difficult to understand the movement of the tree. This is the first time I hear such an expression - "tree movement". I don't even know how it is. I will study on the Internet.
