In another video he stated something like "I couldn't be bothered to do that" in reference to something similar. He makes me lmao in most of his videos with his comments!!!
I love how this guy doesn't spend half the video talking about what he made, instead he just does a quick overview and then shows us how to make it. Wish more channels were like this
Wow. Just wow. You're my all-time favorite wood-worker. The stuff you make inspires me, and I learned so many tips and tricks from your videos. Thank you.
So do you come here for inspiration? You make some amazing stuff! It's always great to see amazing RU-vidrs on others channels.(also how is the new 90-degree foot pedal coming?)
I came down here to comment on retroactive precision, and was glad to see you here, Martin! I love the mixture of music and building on your channel and am always hyped for Wintergatan Wednesdays.
+christopher gonzalez It's just some videos of the engine running, none of actually building it. It's a Mazda 13B, not something special I designed or anything. Although altaroffire56 has got me thinking... I don't think it would be too difficult to make a wooden one.
he who work with his hand is laborer, he who work with his hand and mind is craftman, he who work with hand, mind and heart is a genius. You are the last one.
bought these plans years ago and built one but gave it away. Seeing it again ( now with no questions as to how to build it) I kinda want to build another. Great video
Thanks for doing this. I bought the plans for this when you first made them many years ago and, after 3 computer changes, only found them (I think I have them all), split up all over the place, on an external hard drive so I had been intending to try to build the engine when my workshop was finished. This video is very useful for the detail I would probably have missed. Best Wishes, Brendan.
If you connect the axles together and hook up the outlet from the first piston to the inlet of the second (beware of the phasing, the outlet needs to blow air into the inlet when both of them are open), you will have made a two stage engine. :) Normally the first stage would have a smaller piston though, as the pressure is higher there, but I bet it would work anyways. :)
I like these kinds of projects. I'm just always amazed by the amount of tools (powered or not) you need to actually make something like this. Not really something a hobbyist can easily make.
Can you make a really small working band saw? Like a desktop model? About a foot tall? I think that would look really cool, and a nice conversation piece.
"Retroactive precision"... that's such a good name for a new channel... somebody take it and run with it! The irony is that there is such precision in this engine apparatus already, and inherently in all of Matthias's work.
Great job on building the engine and also making the video. I've made steam piston engines and steam turbines I designed myself, so I put a few videos on youtube explaining my art works but wow what a difference, this one you made is way more fun to watch, I could learn something. Thanks again Sir.
Quite some time that i last used wax-paper, but i used some in small boat - a bit of sanding and it stuck to wood glue. But... no idea what wax-paper or what glue it was ^^, But currently no space for tinkering to test it.
Marcus Allen Yes it does. I used it to print a pattern just last week. No problems. My printer is a HP inkjet. I have also used an Epson. Why are you concerned about the printer?
What a fun build! I really like these types of projects. It would be neat to incorporate this into a marble machine build. Great video! And my favorite quote: "I'm just going to do some retroactive precision here" 👍😄
Matthias, have you considered doing a CNC router machine at some point in your wooden machine building future? Would be a great addition to your machines.
HAHAHAHA!!! The only problem with tsnorquist's idea is that the pump is made out of wood. I'd be afraid of it catching fire will all that hot air coming out of his friend's head.
Well, the psychiatric ward is full of crazy conservatives, you'll be amaze to see how easily they turn into fascist, and then want to get rid of any minority. Does that ring a bell?
This guy is an excellent woods craftsman, and is amazing skillful at the drill press, and the mini-bandsaw! What precision cutting ability he has!! The only thing I would like to comment on this video is; The moving parts on this engine model, should have a little bit of grease on them to prevent unnessesary friction. Just saying.
Very entertaining Matthias, I've always liked watching things being built, the speeded up bits make the film especially funny and it's all nicely explained too. Thanks.
Hello sir, Excellent job! I have been building different types of electric motors for a little while now. You were able to attain pretty tight tolerances using wood, well done! Love the video and thank you for sharing. Thank you sir!
LOVE YOUR VIDS! My next project is a valve for two wet/dry vacuum cleaners which will have them sucking in parallel when at high flow and in series when at low flow, for example when cleaning carpet, during low flow high suction is needed, it will need a simple piston actuator using a tin can.
Nice job. A little more in the way of a video graphic explaining how it works so young kiddos could stare at the explanation and capture the understanding of the unified thought of turning fluid flow into reciprocating motion and that's a great STEM teaching tool. It's pretty great as it is. Congrats on well made wooden air motor. It would work if you sprayed it with water ?
Always fun and interesting to see the builds you make. incredible precision with the tools, and your creativity to build homemade tools and other items are a lesson for me to do new things in the future. Wish you and your family a nice weekend. Best wishes from Jan in Norway
Long time fan, Matthias. How about a bellows to power such contraptions? Would love to have something to operate an engine like this other than an air gun, vacuum, or blowing. Something that my kids and their grandpas could play with together!
Nice! You've got me thinking about how to adopt your design for an instructive/kid's toy design, maybe with an acrylic cover on the air chamber(s) to better show off its workings...
I never did see this as a practical build, just a gadget type build. I love it! I also spotted the 20 inch bandsaw in there. Are you going to persevere on eliminating the vibrations that you found, or are you going to leave it as is? Also "I don't want a big bandsaw" said nobody, ever. Oh yes, and thank you!
I build steam (air) engines and I know how to cut out SEVERAL steps in your construction process. You have inspired me to make this and I will post a "build" video of my own for you to watch. I will take it one step further and make a wooden piston engine that generates house current (or dc) so folks can see how easily they too could make their own - like for an emergency when the grid takes a timeout.
Hi Matthias. It doesnt matter that is ineffeciant. its so cool that you make gadgets that usually is made with precision tools out of wood. I would love to see a wooden ball valve. Do you think it is possible to make one that doesnt leak anything? :-)
