I have a feeling your kids are going to have an unrealistic expectation of the sturdiness of wooden structures. Might be a rude awakening when they have to deal with ikea shelves in a dorm haha ;)
i built something similar two years ago during lockdown, and my aim was to make a piece of exercise equipement to do dips, leg raises, inverted rows and such; now that the enthusiasm for fitness has been laid to rest, i still use it to lay clothes on,so it really is multifunctional.
some years ago i was browsing in the tools/fitness department of sears and i saw a family eyeing a treadmill. i sauntered over to them and said "i see you're in the market for a new coat rack". it took a few seconds to sink in before they all laughed.
@@albertpolak786 sure! But matthias evidently seems like the kind of person to always be critical of his work and seek out improvements for "next time."
If you want something like this that's easier to build Paul Sellers has some trestles almost anyone could build even as their first project. These are more elegant but also harder to build even with these detailed video instructions. Love the channel by the way!
Very nice - I like things that have multiple uses. My doughter would have needed that some time ago. Latetly she asked me if I could build her a little gym with rings, mattrasses and Bars. Unfortunately the ceiling in her room is not high enough.
Those turned out really neat. I have got to get off my backside and make one of those fancy box jointing jigs. At this point I know it would save me time. The problem is, the only time I am thinking about it is when I am in the middle of making box joints and then I would have to stop everything I am doing to make one.🤔
always interesting to see dual-use items of furniture! It doesnt standout and serves both purposes equally. Kid can gave a climbing frame, tea-party, study table, lots of fun! 😀
You should get one of the flexible PVC couplings used for plumbing to keep that dust hose from falling off. That way you can use duct clamps on both ends.
Haha, yes - my 5-year-old gymnast does that same parallel-bars-style pushup to any two objects that are close to each other and of similar height, even if it's ill-advised. I'm excited to watch this video for ideas. :) Edit: I'm back and not disappointed.
At 2:23 you can see the screw with the big black knob turning on it's own. Maybe a piece of rough grid sandpaper between the wood ant the washer or the knob could help?
She's super into it now, but you'll get them back as she either grows out of them in size or interest. Nice to know you'll be able to repurpose them for another need later. :)
Throw a cloth over it and it can serve as a hut, or a puppet theater. It always amazes me how quickly you're able to throw these together! How many hours did it take start to finish?
Did you add a fastener to insure the link bars stay put or will you just rely on the friction of the pins? Either way it's another well done and versatile project. Thanks for letting us watch.
Whenever I get a slight mismatch on a hose, I put a thin bead of epoxy around the inner fitting, about 7mm from the end, {let dry} it gives the clamp something to grab. In a pinch putting a wire on it and adding a little sticky {temp, like hot glue} will also work, just not for long, lol
Drill and tap 2 holes at 90º on the hose connector -- the grey bit -- and thread 2 screws through them; the pressure they apply on the hose should keep it in place.
I like shop-vacs... i have one hooked up to my bandsaw, one hooked up to my sander and a big one hooked up to my table saw. it's not ideal but it works
These are great Matthias! I would be super interested in seeing an honest review of yours of the Shaper Origin Smart Router thing... I have been thinking about getting one!
Is it safe to assume that you round out the tenons rather than just make the mortises long enough to accept the corners because that makes for a weaker joint with less precision? If so, it might be a cool experiment to see how drastically doing so would affect the joint.
with the tenon the wull width of the piece, making the slots longer would leave visible gaps. Yes, I could make the tenons narrower, but that *would definitely* make a weaker joint.
The chairs were available and convenient. When I was doing that, it was always because things were there and I could. if I had to go somewhere else to do something (and possible get dad to disassemble/assemble the structure for me), I probably wouldn't have, and would've just gone with the chair arms.
That's not safe. The only thing keeping her from falling down and potentially getting hit on the head with with the rungs of one or both chairs if the friction between the chair and the floor - if one of the chairs move even slightly, it loses grip with the floor, sliding away and then her hands still on the arms will pull both inwards.
hi Matthias,i really like your video,i'm a beginner in woodworking and i learn so much with your vids thank you for that! i have a question, can you tell me why when i make face frame with pocket hole and glue, after some time i have a gap in my joint?
Cutting multiple Mortise- and Tenon Joints works just fine on the Pantorouter. I made myself more than one Template that uses the 6mm Rod. I have many Templats for 6 up to 12mm. I use a hole in my workbench and the TILTING TABLE.
I want to make this for my uhh "kids" but i don't have any special equipment. Is it possible to do these or other strong joints with just a hacksaw and a cordless drill?
