I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you work using very straightforward techniques in clever ways. Other woodworking channels discuss how to support the woodworking industry. You discuss woodworking.
Enjoyed the video. Functional without going overboard. As someone who is borderline OCD I admire your ability to line things up by eye and drill holes without worrying if they are half a degree out Most of all I love your total lack of respect for the health and safety nanny state. And you still have all your fingers!
Thanks a ton for this video! I've watched a few of your others as well, and watching your technique is a million times more useful than most advice I've ever been given.
I happened onto Matthias Wandel's videos last night while searching for some tool holder ideas on You Tube. What an incredible resource! He's a very talented, creative woodworking genius. Thank you so much for sharing your woodworking endeavors.
I've made videos before and I know how difficult and time-consuming they can be. I have learned a great deal about woodworking from you over the years and I really appreciate your videos. Thanks, Mathias.
Thank you so much for this video, Matthias! This is a very timely video for me, since I have been debating on whether to use some pegboard that I already have for my tools or homemade hangers and hooks. You just inspired me to not use pegboard. Now I just have to find a good use for all the pegboard that I have. Maybe a downdraft table.
I did what u did about 20 months ago and it made a huge difference. I can see and grab tools easily. Before using pegboard I had to move tools to get to the tool. Another way is French cleet so u can move individual holders if need arises. Good skills I like your simple ways of making holders look up scale. I really like my pliers holder where bbn I have them from small to large instead of a drawer and had to shuffle stuff to find what I wanted. Have a friend retiring and building a shop and hope he sees these tool holders. With a new blank shop a guy could really lay stuff out to make life easier
I like that you are not overly "fussy" about things that really don't matter. Much of what you do here could be easily adapted to a pegboard system (for those who already have it installed) by using plastic drywall inserts in the holes and then screwing the 'holders' shown here to the pegboard,
+RustyCas Or I could just screw it on between the holes. In which case, a pegboard with no holes would actually be better, and if it were plywood with no holes, that would be even better. Which, coincidentally, is what I actually used.
the amount of free space in the drawers must be huge in the center area of the panel on the wall maybe a hand drill shelf you know a shelf for the bigger items
I don't know why the high speed parts are so satisfying to watch, but they are. :) Thank you for the ideas, I'll be doing some variation of this very soon.
Great video. For the past 40 years my tools have been in a VERY large tool box, it needed a fork lift to move it in and out of the panel van, fortunately it wasn't taken out all that often. Now I am retired and I just could not decide on a design and I didn't want to use a French cleat system. I'm going to adopt your idea. Simple, cheap (sort of) and a darn sight more pleasant on the eye. Thank Matthias
Some great ideas, Matthias. I already made one for my screwdrivers (looks different, but does the same job), and I was trying to figure out how to mount some of the others. So thanks for this video :)
Putting the drill press to work! I really like the square holder. Immsick of the one i have/use.. just like a clamp rack..(typical) Im definitely going to make a few of those tonight when im in my shop. Hey thanks for the idea (s)
Man! You make me feel lazy! Forget the woodworking, I mean all the time it takes to make videos! Kudos on all your efforts, Matt. (sorry for the informality, I just feel like I know you, seeing how I watch your stuff so often!)
Matthias Wandel: WOW! I learned something new from you on this one: How to make a drill guide that will allow me to mimic the Kregg cabinet screw hole jig. Thank you! You're awesome.
I really liked how you made your tool holder I recently made my tool holder collection will be uploading in a few days so excited great to see different variations
I like your videos because they are objective and don't 'make things up'! I see channels on RU-vid that are a real display of expensive machines that use them to make simple jigs and waste an absurd amount of wood on their crazy projects that can be done with a simple saw and chisel!
Well done . I need to do this... just moved... tools are CHAOS , The stress caused by misplaced tools and wasted time ! As soon as your stressed , you lose focus , work is shit, accidents likely... great video ... simple ,to the point , problem SOLVED !
