Solutions to mechanical problems which would have me scratching my head for days seem to come to you quite easily. I admire your problem solving ability.

Had to pause for a while after the 3.05-second mark and go and change my Jocks, take a heart pill and calm down a bit,........by videos end my heart was still racing. Thank you for leaving in the 'warts and all' parts, that alone is a good example of thinking safety first. I still put a circuit breaker and a lamp in series with all my first-time running of prototypes, especially for old motors. Top Job, cheers from Michael Australia,

Love the charred finger at 03:05

RIP drywall screw. Great job, Matthias! Love it!

I really liked watching and hearing your "problems solving" moments where you defined your problem and then set about solving it.

You have a real talent of knowing what footage is boring or interesting to us. Not a lot of people on this site have that talent. It keeps me and many others entertained even after having watched you for a couple of years now. Just wanted to tell you that. Keep it up Matt!!

Your resourcefulness never ceases to amaze me, Matthias.

Hi Matthias, thanks for these videos. I really enjoyed watching you work through the problems to arrive at the final build. It makes the whole idea of building this a lot more approachable.

Love to see your project, thank you for sharing your amazing video

2:59 electroboom! but without the swearing. Sure you could have used a multimeter to test it, but this is way more exciting!

Wow, that was just fantastic. For me, your ability to decipher solutions to the build is amazing. Thanks for sharing that.

Another well thought out, and brilliantly executed project Matthias. All credit to you.

As always, I appreciate and admire your imagination, design skill, debugging ability, and your construction skills. Plans anytime soon?

Your videos are always a delight. I also learned that making a screw disappear on a sander is fantastic to watch

Your woodworking projects never cease to amaze Good work!

or.. you could just reverse the footage in editing to make it spin in the right direction.. lol :D

While I never cared for your penchant for green paint, you are genius pure and simple. Your videos never cease to amaze me.

Absolutely phenominal the amount of amazing footage of fascinating information you produce in a quarter of an hour video!

Hi Matthias! I have an old GDR made belt grinder attachment for drilling machines I wanted to convert. Watching your video has shown me what to worry about and what not. Thank you very much for showing your knowledge on that toppic! Keep up your great work! A great woodworker has no need for fancy tools. Regards, Etna.

a very well made belt sander,and the adjustment for belt tightening is spot on,well worth my thumbs up

Just a wonderful piece of work, Matthias. Love it!

The burn mark on your finger was absolutely classic. Great video as always

The way you coupled the motor to the wheel is brilliant.

I live on UTC−10:00 so I am a handful of hours before you. So these Friday videos are perfect for my early morning coffee. Great start to my Friday. Thanks as always. Excellent video and amazing problem-solving process!

3:04 - ElectroBOOM would be proud!! lol. As always Matthias, awesome video!!

I like how you used the finger with the fresh black electric burn mark on it to point out the electrical mistake. Nice touch.

You are a genius Matthias. Amazing build!

the best design for a belt grinder on the internet! its so universal, love it

Your adjustable height mechanism gave me a eureka moment for a belt grinder im gonna make as well! (But with very limited access to material) Thank you! Jeez i kept watching your bandsaw build and didnt expect to find this helpful gem to solve a problem ive had for months

You are certainly gifted with design on the fly skills!

One of the finest woodworkers, and an even finer video editor... way to make that nail stick!

It's so good to see build videos from you once again, Matthias! Really enjoyed this one. MORE, MORE!! ;)

You're so innovative...always enjoy your videos. Thanks Matthias.

Outstanding job, man. You never cease to impress!

I love watching you troubleshoot while making machines!

This is you at your best: figuring out how to build something, one step at a time, by using a combination of natural talent and good judgment borne of long experience. And the project ended with your trademark green paint, which is always satisfying.

Very nice piece of work all the way. I love the way that you have over come adjustment's and so on. Nothing to complicated The whole completed job looks good. You know the saying if it looks right then it probably will be good. Look forward to more of your projects. All the best from across the pond UK Chris Gray.

How cool would it be to have Matthias as a neighobr/friend. The ingenuity is strong with this one. Great video.

3:14 made me smile: the excited look on your face. Not at all scared by the recent mishap. Only a bit more cautious and nevertheless courious whether it might sparkle or smoke again.

And the Jolly Green Giant strikes again! Nice Job. Love your work and your informative explanations. Keep it up.

Great craftsman! Congrats! From Trinidad, caribbean!

I love how you build all your own tools

You must really like avocado. Because to the color you choose for your tools...😂😂😂😂 Congratulation from Brazil!

These are my favourite kind of videos of yours, as I enjoy following your thought process along with your projects. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together!

Thank you for sharing your thought process. It is like a Vulcan mind meld.

Matthias, you're a mad, crazy, beautiful genius.

My son used my bench grinder to shape wood once. We had a nice, smoky smolder going on inside the grinding stone cover the next time I used it on steel. Keep your eyes peeled for smoke and keep an extinguisher where you can get to it easily. It might be a good idea to open the dust collection chamber to inspect for problems after you use it on steel. Just a word to the wise.

so sick, looks amazing, love how you found solutions as you went.

it's official, I can now start my day after watching one of Matthias's videos!! Great work..... :)

As always genius. We could all aspire to work like you do.

Enjoyed witnessing the design evolution.

Awesome, always enjoy watching your builds.

I love the flashed finger pointing out the mis-wiring.

Another great build. This and your strip sander build are inspiring me to build something similar. Time to buy some more MW plans.

love the nail dart!! and the disappearing drywall screw too

Right before you showed the outtakes I was wondering how many times it took to stick it! Awesome build and video as usual! Thanks!

very well done, man. a true craftsman...if you don't have one, build one.

A simple very Kool belt grinder. The design is genius! !

final result as expected... A nice green machine. Congrats once again dear Wandel

Mathias the mad scientist of woodworking.

6/4/2019 USA Grandpa Bill: Oh man! did you hear that? He was talking to the Martians at 5:28--5:29. THAT'S!! where he has been getting his superior knowledge, insight, and inspiration. Whew, a freak accident let us in on it. Well, at least he is charmingly human. My wife, Grandma Pat, thinks Matthias is just plain cute when he looks into the camera and says; "Oops!" (another video). He's captured her heart as much as he has captured my respect.

Your videos are so amazing. I always feel sad when I realize they are about to finish while I am watching them.

Great job..well worth the wait..that machine kicks ass!!

You are a genius! That is so cool. I wish I could create something like that.

Nice work Matthias! the grinder looks great' Thanks for sharing it with us.😎👍JP

Nice Mathius now that the move is over it seems we have YOU back as well best tube from you for a while very good indeed

My friend, you are a genius.....great project...

These type of videos are my favorites from you. Nice work! Inspires me to make my own machines, but i'm terrible at that. Maybe I just need practice.

Master of "Frankensteining", love your stuff!

Loved the short, watched it many times!

Well done as always Matthias!

I love the way you take us through your logic.

I have a 2x48 sander and i use it all the time. You will be surprised how useful it is for all kinds of stuff.

It's 2am and I have absolutely no interest in woodwork whatsoever. However, this is also the best video I've watched for a while, so I will leave my like here and go to bed

GRACIAS POR TUS EXCELENTES TRABAJOS MATTHIAS

Matthaias.. muy buenos los videos...sos muy claro y didactico al comentarlos... yo aperndo mucho de ellos . Te pido disculpes por no contestar en ingles soy muy duro para escribir en INGLES ... Gracias por tu aporte a mi ignorancia en un tema tan placentero como trabajar con madera. Lucho.

I love to watch your mind work. There are no rules.

Really impressive work!

That paint is quite lurid! Nice machine

Just found your channel. Pretty cool video. Thank you!

The green paint finish makes it look professional. Plus it is a kind of trade mark for Matthias.

Matthias!!! Felicitaciones!!! Muy bueno!!!,

Another great project. Enjoy the homemade machines very much. If I had a choice between a machine from a box store, or the same one built by Mathias, it's always the Mathias Wandel !!

You never cease to amaze me. Your innovation is unparalleled. We've been waiting for this video eagerly after catching all the fun on your Instagram feed. Mehdi at ElectroBOOM would be proud :)

Fai paura sei un genio, complimenti grande progetto, cercherò di copiarlo.. By Naples ITALY

Amazing the difference a coat of paint makes - sort of goes from a bit "rough and ready" to pretty slick!

Мэтт, у тебя с деревом столько работ, что папа Карло просто ничто в сравнении с тобой. Восхищаясь твоими работами, ты один из лучших мастеров- инженеров.

@3:07 scorch mark on finger. When I'm wiring up a homebrew, I plug it into a plug strip with an off switch and its own breaker.

Nicely done!! Love the Diresta finish to the video!! 😂😂

Your one clever guy Matthias thanks for the great content

The making of. It's fun to see how you make a precise machine, roughly at first.

So simple. That what makes it so brilliant.

Aw the green paint

Great build!! Hope one day you start welding and combine that with your woodworking skills!!! You could save the world!! Jajajajaja. A pleasure watching as always,congrats!!!

i keep saying it... love the engineering. good job.

You should put together a video of all your little accidents of things flying apart or exploding

3:07 I love how the angry pixie smoke is still present on your fingers :p

I wish I had the time and Space! Loved it

Looks great! Nice build

you are the best and I hope I can be like you.. God bless you
