Your ability to conceptualize such abstract things blows me away!

I love it when you come up with something awesome like that for no other reason than because you can and it looks cooler that way.

When you've been watching through the entire playlist of videos, one per week is no longer enough for my addiction.

Hi Matthias. You've inspired me to become a woodworker myself.

For some reason in my ignorant mind, its really cool to see the joint glued together then cut in half, seeing the inside of the joint, and it still holding together.

I was thinking of doing this to get a rounded corner. Didn’t think I’d actually find a video for it 😆 I want to use as a foot stool and on thinner wood tho, but I’m inspired.

That 10% like rule is most perplexing. Some manage to beat it and Matthias certainly should. Since the remaining 90% don't dislike then I can only assume that most viewers are lazy consumers of KZfaq videos with little respect for the time and trouble people like Matthias put in. My suggestion: click like before viewing, you won't be disappointed.

I've been watching your videos for years, I am subscribed to your channel, and this might be my first comment. In this video, you strike an excellent balance between information, explanation, and video length. Thank you for all you have taught us!

You do amazing work Matthias. I've been enjoying your videos for some time, and I wanted to say thank you.

Perfect job! Your precision is impressive!

matthias you are a pure genius! truely up there, your jigs and self made machienery is a1 love your channel..always interesting to watch thanks for your efforts!

Well done, Matthias. I just started my very first woodworking project in 19 years. I have been using many of the tricks which I noticed in your videos. This project isn't perfect, but I'm [re]learning a ton as I go. Thanks for sharing so much of your expertise (as well as mistakes -- those are incredibly valuable).

With glue being so fantastic these days, I have no idea if there are easier ways to do this, but the design and building out the corners was excellent.

The only full content channel around anymore! Thanks Matthias

That just looks sooo slick, those curves are just so nice because of their large radius.

Still discovering older videos of your work Mathias :) And it's inspirational to watch. Thx for that :)

It can only be about that beautiful baby girl you folks are blessed too have! Great job Dad!

I'd love to see some more inventions that are used to mess with the local wildlife

I'm only 12 and with out u I would of never started wood working. Keep doing this:) :)

You are a true artist and I learned a lot from you Greetings to you from Iraq

A friend didn't like you're channel because he thought you were too self righteous. All I see is a guy really good at wood working and great at engineering

I bought your plans for the box joint jig and have enjoyed it now for a couple of years. I just wish I could use mine as fast as you do in your videos. I'll keep practicing. Great video and application.

Best woodworker on KZfaq Period.

Your videos look SO much better with those LED strip lights!!! I'm able to see more detail and it's great!

I like the idea for a whole range of uses- frames for shadow boxes, serving trays, etc. A strong, lightweight joint that is pleasing to the eye and safe (er) for small grasping explorers.

Huzzah! Always excited to see Mathias upload a new project.

I said this once and I'll say it again you do amazing work you should be a teacher in the school

Give this man unlimited access to Carbon fiber and CNC machines. He will create a new planet for us to live on!

That box joint machine is incredible.

All these woodworking channels getting Rockler sponsorship, I want the Matthias Tools sponsorship ;) It always strikes me how awesome it is that most of your powertools are self built

У нас в России про таких людей говорят ах...ный мастер! Смотрю твои видео и ах...аю!!! :-)))))

It turned out beautifully. Excellent work.

That technique doesn't look too hard -- if you have the tools, the time, the expertise, and the experience. Well done!

20 finger box joint feels like overkill for what this is for, but it looks awesome and is a really cool technique so im not complaining. Thanks again Matthias.

Awesome, Matthias. You provide me with endless inspiration.

tearing can be caused when grain reverses or becomes side on,like when you come to a joint with router or plane the grain may be completely side on. put some 4x1 in vice vertical,plane it, as the blade comes to the far edge its splits a router bit can have the same effect, but if you run it in the opposite direction carefully its rares to tear or split. the joint shown is a large curve so should be ok with a fresh router bit. hope it helps

Yes recommendation, i would love to know how to make a curved joint. Thanks for that.

well done Matthias you conquered the thought to be impossible!

My son was very good at using his little fingers to turn the computer off while you were working on it. Haha, he's 22 now!

That new sander has come in handy quite a few times already.

That actually gives it a quite unique effect. I like it

Awesome. I wonder if there is anything what you are not able to figure out and make. Thanks for sharing your skills over and over again.

Finals next week, instead of studying sports imma watch these! Gotta set priorities..

Good job! Exploring the world around them is part of a baby's job description, so in the long run it's better to adjust than to work against it.

I made an identical curve and joint for my pie shaped desk drawer video. Course when your accuracy of box joints is a wee bit lacking they go together like a dream! 😜

Bu adam bir dahi ne kadar videosu varsa izledim mükkemmel işler yapıyor. ülkemde olsa yıllarca çırağı olarak çalışmak isterdim. Ellerinize saglık

I remember you did something like this to a dovetail joint that turned out very cool.

Stop blaming the baby because your stuff rolls off the desk. That is a pretty nice joint, thanks for sharing.

This dude is a freaking genius

Genius. That would make a VERY cool joint in an armchair for joining the arms to the legs.

Please route the table to match... My OCD is killing me seeing those mis-matched radii ;-)

Great job. That should work for a while. But kids are like that, as they get older they get better at being curious.

That was a neat solution. I would have glue laminated that fro plywood around a mould which definitely would have taken longer. With regard to the difficulty of assembling the joint I am sure that if you have used polyurethane there would have been less friction in assembling the joint. I regularly use one called Fastgrab in the U.K. and that really helps make joints slip together although the open time is limited as the name would suggest. P.S. I did not mis-spell mould I am English.

Curve didn't match, start over. :p

Se vede iti place cea ce faci ! tot respectul

Having children the mother of inventions!

Your house is beginning to look like an Alpine Chalet with all that pine ;-) Nice video!

Thanks for sharing. I learn every video 👍👍👍

you never cease to amaze me! well done yet again!

Really nice job! I love the way it looks at the end

Very nice as usual. If I were to do something similar for a table, where the table top would cover then I probably wouldn't cut out the inside with the handsaw because I wouldn't be visible, and provides more surface area to support the table. However, since your project sits above a table top, it makes more sense and looks nicer to round off both the inside and outside.

Your the Mad Professor always tinkering :)

The good news is that the fence will serve the dual functionality of keeping the baby from falling off the back of the desk in about three months when she figures out how to climb up on top. :)

You’re so weird, but it’s kind of entertaining. I like that your just a regular bloke. Nice job on this bud.

Sweet! I haven't seen anyone use a compass for a fillet in 30 years!

Nice job, radius cleaned up well, without fuss.

Pretty amazing work there. So intricate and so functional.

You are so good at this sir.

Nice work! That ought to slow her down for about 2 weeks... lol

Matthias, you are are the BEST!

Looks fantastic. You'd almost flush-trim the table top to match the fence.

I looked at the video without headphones so I did not hear your explanation. I guessed: 'probably because baby is pulling stuff from the desk'. And then I watched again the video with headphones :)

Thanks for shine this tip I have been working on the same problem but had not thought of adding the extra wood needed now that I have seen how you did it its that Dh'o moment 🤓

Thank you, it's very important to me.befor I thought if have to need make the corner something round and I decided that it migh be taken a extra part(albow) and finger joint. thank you.

I "liked" and subbed. Your a very hard worker. you put " A LOT " of effort into your videos, projects and website. Fair play to you. Matthias? Isn't that a German Christian name? I like the good Germans. sláinte from Irland.

amazingly precise, a joy to hear the joints click into place Inside & outside of the curve belt sanded could you ask for more?

You sir makes me want to learn woodworks!!! :D

very good greetings from Argentina

this looks really good.. i'll definitely try to do it on my desk project

That was beautiful! The desk could use a little rounding over too!

I have a suggestion.... Make more videos, really enjoyed this. Thanks

lol, I love how it's just all quiet, then BAM!!!!!!!! loud hammering. 1:06

Been trying to do some woodworking, but DIY isnt really a big thing in my family. My father has been buying all sorts of unnecessary junk which never even get used, and its all piled in the store room, so I cant even find the old drill, which I dont even know if it still works or if it even has a single dril bit. I ended up making a hole by using a screw to make a tiny hole through a wood and then using a tiny screwdriver to drill the rest of the hole. I just feel so envious looking at all those tools lol

A long open time epoxy would be a better choice for your glue up since it does not swell the wood fibers as a water based glue does and actually acts as a lubricant when engaging the the parts. Just remember that open time is a a strong function of room temperature and the epoxies quoted open time will be for 22C (72F). For each 10C (18F) increase in temperature there will be an approximate halving in open time or doubling for a 10C decrease in temperature. Because of this temperature/time relationship I generally select a 60 minute epoxy in the summer and a 30 minute epoxy in the winter. A 60 minute open time epoxy will have a 44, 36, and 30 minute open time at 80, 85, and 90F, respectively. A 30 minute open time epoxy will have half those numbers. Knowing your shop’s temperature and an estimate of the time to mix and apply the epoxy and assemble the parts plus time to adjust the parts will inform you of what open time epoxy to start with.

That was great, only thing I would have done also is turn the desk upside down and use the new fence as a guide for a trimming router to match the old corners to the new.

I was worrying about seeing another rage quit when you failed to hammer it in XD

I am really surprised that you computer is not made out of wood as well. Nice videos. ;-)

i love it this is a great example of a good curve

WOW very impressive! you make that look so easy. just found your videos and love your stuff

Wow super strong joints, tnx Mr. Wandel...!!! 🤓

Great video. How can someone actually give this a thumbs down????

now that is a lovely desk

Again, you amaze me. Thank you.

Amazing. I really admire you. Keep up the good work and be well.

you should have just made wooden mittens to go on your child's hands. just kidding, that rounded joint looked really good and I was genuinely nervous for those joints to come together in time!

hmmm, how long before the difference in curve between the desk and the shield will get to you?? :) no matter .. great build, thanks!

i'm always amazed what you can do. Thanks

I only mentioned it because it would have save you time doing all the finger joints/hammering/glueing. Matt Rushing has a video on "steam bend windsor chair parts"...that is basically the principle to bend wood. He uses cords or rope to keep the form....dont know how accurate that can be...

You are my spirit animal.

That is simply amazing.
