I always enjoy when you get to a point in a build that you start using the machine to help build itself.

I love that you use the tool you're building to build the tool you're building.

Hi Mathias. I love your disregard for consumerism. Keep the videos coming!

Your channel is the only maker channel that I don't have to change the speed of. You are very efficient with your video time. Also you are a great maker.

i never really like woodworking in school, but dam is it relaxing to watch you work

Firstly, congratulations on some great craftsmanship, and terrific ingenuity. But also, these are really well produced videos. Tightly edited, with speed-ups at just the right time, and amount, to keep things moving along without missing out on things. And finally, I love the way you show us your thought process and iterations as you go, rather than just presenting a final product, or pretending to find problems once you've already worked it out. Discovery Channel could learn a lot from you!

It's lovely to watch your design evolve as it goes along Matthias. I like the way you work, and your videos are easy to watch. You understand the pace nicely, and your production technique is superb. Thanks a lot.

Fantastic Matthias! You're really in your creative and fast mode in this video! Problem->solution->finished piece, goes lightning fast. I enjoyed it a lot...

+1 for the green paint joke! I like the dust collector end, great how it slides up and down.

I learn so much just watching Matthias work.

Thanks for sharing your passion Matthias. You're awesome. Your videos have inspired me to build my own workshop.

your creativity when it comes to problem solving is a joy to watch. I love your channel.

I really love how you making videos and what you doing so after watched more than a few your videos , I decided to stay here forever. Thank you for your great work .

I think it's super cool that you used the sander to assist in building the sander. The very epitome of self sufficiency. nicely done

A real man of genius. Love your videos bro.

Thank you for making this and sharing with us. Very educational video (even if I don't build the sander; I aspire to though).

You are a really creative person, I find it fascinating watching you work because you think in ways that I don't.

Witam w drugiej czesci!!Rozbudowa szlifierki tasmowej mile widziana i wskazana!!Bardzo dobry pomysl z silnikiem pod spodem a ulepszenie jej pomoze w pracy,duza wiedza i cierpliwosc rodzi owoce!!Prima!!Dobry material Filmowy!!

Absolutely incredible! You never cease to amaze me!!

Been thinking of going down to the hardware store to buy a belt sander , So pleased I saw this before I bought one. Now I'm definitely going down to the store to buy one :)

I was genuinely really impressed how beautiful that machine came to be. So many clever tricks to adjust every moving part. Subscribed a few days ago and I've definitely enjoyed your videos!

hey matthias i really like your videos.. watching your skill and patients while you build and test things is an inspiration to me in my own shop

Oh how I hope plans become available for this build! I've had this in my mind for quite a long time and was hoping you would build this machine! Looks great! Can't wait for the edge sander and green paint!

Genius Matthias Wandel you are the best.

having last done wood work in h.s. I find myself very much enjoying your vids. Thnx.

Great job Mr. Mathias . Your videos to me is a great inspiration , thank you. Greetings from Brazil

Excellent ! Good job . Thank you Mathias. Congratulations from France.

No relevant critiques or commentary here, but this build is awesome and I dig what you do. Good job, sir! Thanks for sharing.

You never cease to amaze me man! Awesome!

Hi Matthias - I decided to build a 4x86" belt sander and was having problems with tracking and drift. Then I found your video and saw your idea for the inner tubes and silicone sealant - I'm waiting for it to dry now (fingers crossed). My only issue now is that I haven't used a drive belt and I've connected the shaft of the motor directly to the frame with a metal shaft and I'm getting lots of vibration as they're not quite true to each other. Slowly I'm getting there and hopefully when I'm done I'll have a very useful tool to add to my collection for almost no cost. Love your unassuming nature and ability to problem solve - best woodworker on youtube!

Wonderful video as always Matthias! I enjoy what you make.

So ingenious ! So many brilliant ideas to make everything ! Awesome !

I love your videos, you're an inspiration. Thank you.

I love how he uses the sander so much as he is modifying it. Great work!

Great vid, Matthias. This was strangely somehow better than part 1. It really looks great.

Nice belt guard....Mr Pete would be proud!

I like how he uses the sander in the process of making the sander. I love your work. keep up the videos.

Great job, I like the way you make the new tools help to build themselves.

You got to love that green paint. Great build keep them coming.

Another fantastic creation. Thanks, Matthias!

As always, an awesome video. Thank you Matthias.

All I can say is "WOW".....you are amazing.....Thanks for sharing!

How anyone dislikes this guy is beyond me super smart, explains everything above and beyond, never condescending, simply and methodically states his humble opine. what's the problem? all you haters can kiss this Canadian butt! we're too polite to say ass eh

Incredible, love your ingenuity!

You are just awesome! With your videos I can make almost every tool I need to my proyects

Thanks for the videos man. You and The Samurai Carpenter inspired me to build my own furniture, but since I lived in a condo I had to do the builds at work and at a friends place. This worked out well because as I was building a twin bed at my friends house for my spare room, my home burned down. So now I live in my friends spare room and sleep on a bed I made with my own two hands. It feels good to have something useful that you built your self. Especially when its one of the few things you have left hahahaha. Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration.

I built mine a week after I bought the plans from you and I've used it almost every day since. That's over a year and it's brilliant :D Fantastic machine :) I use a simple method for making my own belts for mine as can be seen on my channel. Not because I won't buy them, but because I live in a country where there is no such thing available or the price is crazy :)

I love the contrast. An ingenious build, no doubt, and a simple *finishing nail* as a belt guide. That's cute ;-)

You built so much stuff into it, there's no end!

More amazing work and creative skills. Thanks.

Watching you building this is pure pleasure:)

Sr. Matthias vc é o melhor marceneiro que eu já vi parabéns, Obrigado !!!

Its a pleasure to watch you work sir

Its always intresting to see the tools that you make. Its diffrent, but seems to work very good. Wish you and your family a great weekend

your professor. good very. very good thank you. thanks. أنت شاب بارع . وأنا شخصيا من متابعيك . واستفيد كثيرا من إبتكاراتك . وإبداعاتك. شكرا شكرا لك thank you .

your channel is amazing! great skill, time and care go into these videos.

Love the sander; construction and design. Home made pocket hole screws were a nice touch.

Tu lijadora te quedó espectacular amigo! Felicidades!!! Saludos desde Reynosa Tamaulipas México!

The sander videos are great!

As always I enjoyed your video. I always seem to learn some little tidbit that will make things easier for me later. Thanks much.

Another awesome homemade power tool. Thanks for sharing!

I like your movies. Before the weekend I always wait for the new episode. I think you're a wonderful man that you have time and desire to share your ideas. I hope that the translator google nothing confused. :)

Such a beauty, seems to run really well too!

Awesome job, as always =) Love how you use the sander to finish the product, especially when you use it as a lathe =)

love your woodworking very accurate keep up the great videos

Thank you with all my heart for what they offer us

Matthias, muy bueno tu trabajo, te felicito, gracias por compartir tus habilidades con nosotros, saludos desde Uruguay

What I like the most about your design is how easy it is to change the paper, takes me almost an hour to change from 80 grit to 200 grit with mu current store purchased one, have to remove and reinstall 15 screws of different lengths with washer and lock washers that always get lost.

I love your videos! Great job! Keep them coming!!!

you make it look so easy my friend. Love the video's thanks for all you share...

matthias using pocket holes?!? AM I DREAMING?!

Some really good improvements. I really liked the way you did the dust control. 🤓

Hi Matthias great channel have watch all show and there great please keep up with your wood work regards From australia

What a piece of sheet metal! Splendid.

Happy Canada Day ! It's always great to see your 'minimal MAXIMIZING ' - 'Cheers !

muito bom parabéns pela invenção!

Fantastic work, Mr. Wandel! :)

Congratulations, job well done. Be proud to be able to produce useful devices from bare wood and metal. I wish I had so many tools and space. I would add some horizontal supports on both sides of the sander, to be able to sand wider materials flat in case you need to use it as a "fast planer". Cheers.

Молодец Мастер! Руки растут из нужных мест! :)

Brilliant Matthias, wicked!

Great work, Matthias!

I love your work, sir.

Always finish the V groove of your wooden pulleys with steel wool, to burnish the wood... and then a coat of super hard sealing wax (believe it or not). You want a surface that is as close to polished metal as you can get. Thanks for your vids... great work!

can't wait for the next episode, i taken a huge liking to this YT channel

I just like watching your videos man you are awsome and clever!

Great stuff, I love your machines :) Wood is under rated stuff!

Idk what it is but I found this channel about 2 days ago and I know nothing about woodworking but I've just been loving your videos Matthias keep it up :)

Just found this channel and subscribed...awesome job👍

Nice Build Mathias! I agree, you can't find a decent belt sander of that size for a $100.00, unless you want something of poor quality like we have here in the States at Harbor Freight. I also love the fact you use recycled wood when ever possible. I'm a big recycle person myself and have found some wonderful, expensive woods that way. Look forward to your next build! ~Dolly

You are always creative in all your actions I wish you success

He sure makes it look easy!!

I love how you use your tools to build themselves.

so great product !! thankyou your sharing

Nice drill jig to keep you straight while drilling free hand. For years I've used a steel block with about 6 common sized holes as a guide for hole making when I can't do it with a lathe or milling machine. I'm going to make one like yours out of aluminum first thing tomorrow.

Hola Matthias, mi nombre es Esteban y soy de Paysandú Uruguay. Eh visto tus videos y la verdad me gustan mucho tus trabajos. Hace mucho los veo, pero hoy decidi escribirte y agradecer el gran aporte que haces. La lijadora de mesa esta genial. GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR......

This is really incredible man.

I always smile or laugh qhen you use the tool you are creating to create the tool you are creating!

Especially like the adjustable dust collection!

that teacher !!! I stay great. I would be happy to go to the shop and see that.

...Bravo Matthias!!!!
