This why I came to this channel originally , years ago.

"Rachel picked up this glider rocker off the curb..." - Man you two are a match made in heaven. :)

Imagine throwing away your old rocking chair, then finding this video just to have Mattias call you fat and scoff at your shoddy repair attempts 😁

Wait, wait wait! New baby coming? Is this the first we’d heard of this? Congrats!

I love that you leave on the frustrations you have. It makes me realize that you're not perfect and that the things you do are within my scope of ability. Getting frustrated doesn't mean I failed it means I'm human. Love your content. Thanks.

Congratulations to the both of you!

A Canadian with no metric drills. What kind of Alice In Wonderland scenario are we watching here?

Had to check to see if this was an old video because (a) it's classic Matthias content and (b) they've got a baby on the way. He builds machines and she builds humans!

Next video "fixing a squeaky glider rocking chair"

Perseverance here.

Thanks! I just found a glider while walking my dog and picked it up later. It isn't in as bad condition as yours but I had some annoying clunks while rocking. Several of the bolts needed tightening but when I tried to tighten them they just spun because of the ball bearings. I used a C clamp to squeeze the pieces together enough to keep the bolt from spinning while I tightened the nut. The clunk is gone but now I have some squeaks that I need to track down. Always enjoy your creative woodworking.

Matthias I have been watching your videos for about 6 years now and still get excited when I see a new one, your skill as an engineer and woodworker is excellent, wish your good lady well from me and I hope all goes nice and smooth in May! Paul

Thank you for sharing. BTW, a rare earth magnet on the screwdriver shaft often encourages the screw to stay on the bit long enough to wedge it in the hole.

Great job Matthias, and congrats on the new baby, cant wait to see the new future wood baby toys.

Congrats to you two! Exciting that a new baby is due :D I was sure you fixed a glider once in the past, I need to check your back-catalog!

I'm reminded of a dresser at a local thrift shop that I wanted to get, even had a rough plan in mind to make the repair on it..you guessed it, someone else bought it. Years ago I wanted to get a rocker like this for my cousin when her grandbabies started arriving, and I regret to this day not figuring out how. Ah well. I know your missus will greatly appreciate the effort you put in.

I'm still waiting for the jump test

Love these kinds of videos, just yesterday I finally built me a pair of saw horses from your plans years and years ago. VERY happy with them. All out of 2x4. Excellent stack-ability and very sturdy!

Congrats on your upcoming baby! My family will also be growing in May :)

I love the smarter not harder approach he takes to everything. Build-your-own furniture dolly, cutting a slot in the bolt to let a powertool do the threading. simple things add up
