So many clever tricks in one short video.

Can I request an extended cut of Matthias in the rocking chair rocking while staring at the camera?

I didn't expect that to drill so cleanly.

Wait... Did someone actually use a spokeshave to shave a spoke? What will they think of next!

No pocket screws but a pocket dowels :)

Lol Mathias rocking at the end while listening and posing. Cracked me up. Great fix. It's really a joy watching you work.

The owner wants his rocking chair back. 🤣

I love all your videos man. Been a fan for many, many years! These types of fixit videos though, are the ones that drew me to your channel. I hope you and the family are all doing well!

I would love to be able to share this video with my grandfather who was a keen woodworker, but he died decades ago. Your videos engender happy memories of spending time with him in his workshop.

You're a magician!! I would never have even thought it possible to drill that hole, and you did it with a 5 minute jig. We stand in awe.

Thomas Johnson has a great furniture repair channel on KZfaq. He was just working on some dowels in his last video. He also does amazing stuff with veneer repairs, quite amazing to watch him work.

That's the carpentry-equivalent of a root-canal :)

legend has it he is still rocking in that chair

When an engineer says "that worked like it was supposed to"...

Gotta say, I really love how you take discarded furniture and make them nice. It's a nice contrast from the plastic-wrapped world all around us.

A great fix to an awkward joint, you got the stain off just right as well, if I was using that it would creek a hell of a lot but it would be my joints and not the chair, perhaps I should let my GP see this video but I don’t like the idea of letting him loose with a drill.

I love the awkward stares at the end of every video

That was...AMAZING! The actual fix was simple but the set up...WOW!

Nicely done. I'm using dowels more and more and finding them really useful. Have you done any vids on using them, I'd be interested in learning more. Thanks for sharing.

Its amazing how you find such stuff in the trash

nice fix. I would have never thought of that

I don't mean this any negative sense... You are such a woodworking nerd... Love your ideas!!!

This is very timely for me. I have an old rocking chair of my grandmother's with a similar problem I want to fix. Thanks.

About one year after I worked on some old chairs you show me a better way. I took them apart and used moldable epoxy stuff and a lot of sanding to get my shapes back. Hours of work

This is the king of videos that I love from Mathias. Lots of information in a very short time.

Our family had this same exact rocking chair (or similar style) and got rid of it because of the same problem. We loved that chair. That was years ago, wish we could have seen this great fix before throwing it out!

Looks like a Matthias pocket hole jig for dowels.

I must admit...your chair repair vidoes are some of my favorites.

A spectacularly elegant solution.

Interesting repair method. Mathias, you come up with some interesing but simple repair methods. Keep them coming.

You never cease to amaze me.

Matthias, beautifully executed, well done!

I'm so happy people like you do what people like me wish we could do. Thank you for being you!

I am super impressed by that fix. Nice job.

That's what I call a super repair. You are a very clever and creative man.

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me - good call :-)

Very creative. This will go in my scrapbook of restoration and repair clips.

I personally like the creaking rocking chairs. Great job on the repair.

I would've said "that's attention to detail", but really this is "ATTENTION TO DETAIL" Really cool solution Matthias.

Enjoyed watching this one all come together, thanks for taking the time to share it with us. Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.

I myself would ave never thought of fixing the problem like that, that really is simply ingenious

I had the same problem with the rocker I used when my kids were small. However, it turned out all of the creaking and groaning was coming from me owing to the fact I'm 50 years older than my son.

This feels like main channel content

Quick and clever, as always ! This belongs to the main Channel.

Worrying is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you anywhere. Write that down.

Matthias du bist eine KZfaq Legende

Brilliant, as usual! Hats off to you.

Well done sir. Just when i think my horsing is under control, u put out this video tha makes me want to save all the trash i see on the road. Keep up thr great work.

As Bill Murray said in Stripes, "$100 shine on a $3 pair of shoes". You never fail to get the job done, Matthias. Great content as usual.

Nice setup ! I was very afraid to see the drilling but "its word as expected" Nice work

That is a strange/unique way to fix that loose dowel. It is excellent.

Awesome solution, Matthias! Really nice! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Amazing! You make it look so easy.

I love the simple solution and it looks great!

Brilliant!!! That worked so well.

These are the Matthias videos I subscribe for

You are a repair smith. Well done, dude.

Matthias Wandel turning into Thomas Johnson Furniture Restauration👏🏻

Amazing, this is just what I needed. Could you tell how I could repair those handlebars also? atleast otherside is loose on our chair.

Matthias hair looks like a sleepy kids' coming into the living room on Christmas morning.

Impressive repair, good job.

That vacant stare rocking at the end was very disturbing. Keep up the good work.

Awesome repair

Very thoughtfully done!

Super nice repair, what a find! Totally jealous

Quite a neat fix!

is that called a "pocket dowel" ?

Love the new ideas

Great video.

Matthias out here making pocket dowels. 😁

Brilliant fix!

i'm gonna have to remember this one for some of the ancient chairs i have laying around

Excellent work

A guy like me just injects wood glue into that joint and gets pissed when it starts creaking again. Happy to watch a master in action!

Would have bet against that going well... A tricky fix perfectly executed, wow!

OMG, you are such a genius

It seems your curb is full with goodies, nice

I love this solution thanks for the idea

You sir are a genius

That's really clever!

THIS is quality content. THIS.

The most impressive part is how you managed to get the stain match so easily.

Dude, the creaks are the best bit about rocking chairs!

what a cool fix

one of your best!

Very well done, as always... But I wonder if the pin idea would not have worked. I like to use bamboo skewers as pins for situations like these. My gut tells me that would have been enough here, but I wonder.

I like the way you think Matthias!

I can't believe this worked. I have relied on thin epoxy, but this is so much faster!

matthias, you're a rock star !! ;-)

Awesome as usual

Ingenious!

Exceptional problem solving!

I loved the video

incredible

I laughed at "this is going better than I thought is would" - you and me both :-)

I said it before, butt your'a genius. Rob

Great stuff! A bit creepy the rocking chair scene in the end :-D

Brilliant (as always!)

Astounding!

I cannot remember the last time I saw Matthias use a hand saw! @Matthias - I am surprised you didn’t jig it up on the table saw. ;)
