Wheel mounts for my 26' wooden bandsaw

Building the tension and tracking mechanism for the upper wheel, and an adjustable mount for the lower wheel axle. Trying a blade on he saw, and first cut just by hand cranking the wheels.

Watching you make a new bandsaw may be the most "normal" thing that's happened in 2020. I love my 20" bandsaw, but I might have to make this one too when you've got plans made.

Next bandsaw: lower wheel in basement, upper wheel in attic. Cut capacity is whatever the height of your main floor is. A sternly-worded sign should make it childproof.

He only knew one command: "make bandsaws". He made more and more bandsaws. He turned scrap wood into bandsaws. He used fresh cut lumber to make bigger and bigger bandsaws. Eventually, everything would become a bandsaw.

Well, if fitting through a door is no longer a requirement I guess we'll be looking at a 32" bandsaw sometime in the new year?

You're the today's practical Norm Abram, but from Canada.
Making your own tools, puts you a head and shoulder above everyone else.

been a follower since 2006 buying my first of your gear software installs and i am such a fan of your work both physical and video. thanks

Got excited at 5:53 when you used a tap in a drill to put threads in wood because that's the same way I do it, but then I realized that I probably learned that technique from this channel in the first place.

I have followed your channel for a few years. When you moved down east you were suffering from tendonitis that stopped you from working. Take it from a retired kinesiologist, the amount of stuff you do "hand held" is inviting that injury back. Clamps and vises!! We want you make up and making videos for years to come. Cheers!!

Matthias has a fever...and the only prescription is more bandsaws.

[antagonistictherapy]

I think the thing I love most about making machines like this out of wood is the amount of customization you're afforded compared to buying prebuilt from the store. Sure, you can mod some things despite something being store-bought but there's something satisfying about custom builds that allow you to personalize the machine to your tastes.

[willys]

Good to see I am not the only one who had tools inexplicably jump from my hands.

Great to see the build moving forward.

[thegingerpowerranger]

Can't wait to see the next bandsaw he makes - it is already obvious he has thought of ways to improve on the design is ready for another round

[michaelcritchf]

I’m very much looking forward to your plans Matthias and it is great inspiration watching you work. Well done!

[thebeststooge]

A man, and his obsession with creating bandsaws. For the last decade I love watching and seeing how he thinks as it always reminded me of a Squirrel and how they problem-solve.

[markhedquist]

I'll never grow tired of watching you build bandsaws.

[mrgraff]

Matthias is the best thing to come out of Canada since hockey! 🇨🇦

[yagwaw]

A new Matthias-video - what a welcome surprise between the years.

[paulwaldrop]

I love watching your stuff, and think alot about building my own bandsaw. Maybe someday. You make it look like child's play.

[coalitionofrob]

Always a good day when there is a new bandsaw build video

[lewissammons]

I'm just waiting to see how long it takes for you to decide to build your own industrial sawmill out of people's thrown out furniture.. Truly fascinating to watch you design and build these things, thanks for sharing!
