I love how you use your projects to finish the project

Well done. I think it's awesome that you just kept improvising as the project went on and didnt give up

wow, thank you for documenting every step and editing this so well! The sppedups and jumpcuts make your videos stand out by far from others. Greatly appreciate the tremendous effort from building down to editing!

One of the biggest lessons from watching Matthias Wandel's videos is to pre-drill every single hole no matter how small.

The best thing about this project is that you used the belt sander to make the same belt sander :) Your sence of detail is amazing... cool project.

I don't do any woodworking myself, but I really enjoy your videos because of the great production value.

I love it when machines build parts of themselves :)

this has been a fun project to watch, I do love how you work with old reused wood, and how you get past various obstacles in your path to completion. keep going.

I watched the entire series and was amazed, Matthias you are my hero, I think at this point you could build a table saw out of a cardboard box and some glue. Keep up the good work.

Very nice sander Matthias! I am always amazed by your creativity and your ability to 'think outside the box' and just come up with very novel ways of solving problems. That, and of course, I find your videos very entertaining and relaxing to watch. :)

One of my favorite of your tool builds. Great job. Thanks for passing on the knowledge.

i love the trial and error creation of this sander. it shows the original concept and it gets revised over and over again depending on what you need. This is what i like to see ;)

I watched all three videos till the end. Although I am not going to make this cause this is way beyond my capabilities i was really inspiring to watch this video. I admired how you kept improvising the whole thing and even when you finished it, you improvised your design further. That's one valuable thing I learnt today

You are so great, how can you have so many ideas and made all that, i watch over and over all the time.keep going...may God bless.👍👍👍

To build all that is an impressive achievement and lots of fun. Thank you for showing, sharing and even deliver the design.

Matthias you are so talented. A true wood workers wood worker! Keep up the cool projects and studies. Absolutely love them!

Great job as always, Matthias! I really like how quiet and smooth it runs.

Matthias! I love the pace of your content release this week! I can look forward to an amazing video every day! :) In all seriousness, thank you for sharing your journey with these builds. It's super fun to watch you work and truly inspirational.

"I wasnt able to clamp them" i couldnt believe my ears. Neither my eyes.

Another really nice homemade machine! That green color is your definitely your branding. Thanks for sharing

Your videos make me happy for some reason.

It has to be immensely satisfying to create a machine that suits your needs and can be modified to do multiple functions and orientations. I know that there will be some jerks who would poopoo the whole idea of taking the time and effort to do this when crap in Harbor Freight can be had for a song. But I would prefer this a million times over anything that I could buy ready made. It is having the skill, the equipment and time and ambition to do this that sets guys like you, Matthias, head and shoulders above the rest! Your family must be very proud of you!

Went to Lowe's and asked the paint department for some "Matthias Green". They just stared blankly at me.

I love watching you build your tools, especially when you use them in their incomplete state to make parts for the final tool.

that is beyond awesome! my favorite tool you've built

Next...make it an oscillating belt sander! Great work Matthias.

Matthias I really like your videos, they always brighten my day. Thank you for making them

Matthais, great series and the sander turned out great! I always enjoy your cleaver ways of building projects. Keep them coming .

Well done Mathias. Green paint is fine with me. Your machine, your paint, why not? Apart fro that the approach you have is refreshing!

A fine, versatile tool Matthias!

Witam w trzeciej czesci!!Ulepszenia szlifierki bardzo przydatne i wskazane pomoga w dalszej pracy!!Duza wiedza i dyzy pomysl!!Tak trzymac!!Dobry material filmowy!!

Aw yeah another project finished. Great series of videos Matthias, you do great work. Can't wait for the next project.

My God. My young friend you are a Genius! My hat is off and I am bowing at the waist ! I wish I had your skills .

Hola Matthias soy de Buenos Aires Argentina . Soy jubilado y me dedico a la carpinteria, ya e hecho varias maquinas tuyas siguiendo los planos que e adquirido y por suerte todas las maquinas funcionan a la perfeccion. Mis felicitaciones por la dedicacion en todo lo que haces

Nice work Matthias. I always wonder about these home built tools, how they wear over time, what you learn about using them regularly, what works, what doesn't. That would make an interesting video.

Came together nicely, Matthias!

Finally finished! This project really took my attention from all other channels I'm subscribed.

I love that you use the device you are making in the process of making it! :D

How can anyone leave a thumbsdown for such a sublime, inoffensive work of genius. Matthius is surely the Stanley Kubrick of You Tube carpentry videoists .

Some people think about building his projects in a way of money vs time and think they aren't worth it. But this is a terrible way to think about it considering the way he makes them with all the things you would wish that another machine would have. Also his dust collection ideas often work better than any store bought machine would have. Another amazing build.

Excellent work as always Matthias.

The day you get a 3D printer you will fly to the moon Matthias! Keep up the great content!

I love it! I have always enjoyed watching you build your homemade power tools.

Matthias, you're one smart dude. I always learn some trick or something from you. Keep on keeping on.

Serious sized machine! Finally autentically green!

I wanted to see you paint it green!

I have seen all 3 of these videos from making this Belt Sander. Like I said in the comments on the first video, your a smart fellow.Lead on!!!

Great job Matthias you make all wood working simple and perfect learned alot from you thanx

Matthias - I love this, I would probably make it like the original ( add metal plates to prevent wear and tear should the belt get off track ) and then make a second one on its side. Nothing wrong with your adjustments, they are great, I just find that I like to move from a vertical belt to a horizontal belt and back, and I don't want to take the time to adjust the sander every time. Your method is great for people who lack the space for two sanders, and your design is very nice. Keep up the great work!

You know a project is done when it gets a few coats of varnish or when he busts out the green paint. Pretty interesting watching this evolve. Great work.

You're insanely good at woodworking

It's great that you make me admire your projects

Brilliant Matthias. Well done.

I love how you use the machine to improve it!

nice build Matthias. Really enjoyable.

You clever bastard! xD Everything you make is technically genius! There are so many interestring tricks to be learned on this channel, keep up all the good stuff.

It needs a sliding mitre fence that can be locked otherwise it will grab the wood and shoot it across the room, and give your hand a jolt at best. I was thinking of making just this for my belt sander. Great video.

love the work you do, I look forward to your videos the most!

It's definitely hard to find a channel like this with so many subs

There comes the Matthias green!!

That's amazing. End result looks like a machine you'd pay two thousand dollars for. It astounds me how you are always able to make great things out of, more or less, nothing.

Watch your stuff ,I like the approach and execution ,taking much for myself ,thank you !

I love it when he uses the machine he's building to build upgrades to that very same machine!

You inspired me so much Matthias

I learn lots of things from your videos; thanks

Love the attention to detail

Hi, Matthias, good job and very inspirational video! Thanks!

Your machines are so awesome. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great addition to a useful tool. Built to last. Good job.

Great series Matthias!

Nice job. I need a belt sander like that, but i would like to add a oscillating drum sander that can be changed to different sizes. You need a hinge on the bottom.

I like the noise you make when you whack a bolt with a wooden mallet Most reassuring

I'm thinking this is more useful than a Disc Sander being as you can do concave radii as well. Thanks for sharing your builds and inspiring 1,000s !

Really nice work Matthias. I like your videos, Interesting and useful. Have a beautiful summer!

You are simply an awesome mind boggling man. Love to watch your projects.

Great work . Wait for the plans

Amazing work. I love your channel!!

oh man, you're so handy! Love it I wanna workshop like that one day, fully equipped

Thank you Mr. Wandel, for your entertaining and informative videos. Subscribed, is the only way to go!

That turned out great, gonna be interesting too see how the silicone roller holds uo

A green-painted thing of beauty.

you've done it again Matthias

2:01 oh god. you only zoom in like that when something bad is about to happen (like the bit breaks and flies in your face. or maybe you ruin the workpeice)... but then nothing happened :P

imagine what this guy could do if he got his hands on a real material like steel!! possibilities are endless

Fantástico seu trabalho, realmente admirável!! Assim que eu sair desta crise em que me encontro quero tentar fazer uma destas. Não entendo inglês mas assisto sempre seus videos e suas grandes idéias. Parabéns e obrigado.

Hey Matthias, I realy like your work and all your diy machines! and this belt sander is amazing too! Just a little note: I think you hold your chisels the wrong way up.. you should try to hold it with the champfer facing down so the chisel works better and is made for that. I am from germany so don´t mind my grammatics :D looking forward to see new videos from you :)

This guy is amazing.

Next project, a wooden hover board/personal transporter? it would be interesting!

First of all, to say hello and congratulate you on your videos, they are excellent I admire your work and the dedication you give to your projects. I have managed to do the lathe project but because I do not have enough resources regarding tools and materials I must stop doing them. You are a genius, greetings from Colombia. ahh and when you upload a new video?

The best thing with this design is that if you set the leaving belt end of the table a just a bit higher than the incoming end , the natural momentum of the belt will press your workpiece more firmly against the sanding table. It doesn't need to be that much of an angle, just a couple of degrees.

Oh God... I am so thankful I already have a sander like that. For some reason, this build gave me a tight feeling across the chest. Yeah, I'm a wimp. Maybe it's the sight of all that repetitive going to and from the various other tools.

Excellent choice of color!

Great original content love watching all your vids and can't wait for more!

the sander came out aqwsome !

you make some incredible stuff....well done

nice build!! I have tons of motors around, I'll have to get to building some of your designs soon.

Impressive! I love the way you reverse engineer build then plans.

Hi Matthias, did you consider trying to adapt the motor to have a circular sandpaper on the front like many belt sanders do instead of having to flip the whole structure over? What made you decide not to?
