Hey Matthias, some of these videos are older but it has taken me this long to get to a self-sufficient homestead where I am able to begin constructing each item. I have finished the pantarouter and after I finish building out the shop, will begin all bandsaws, tablesaw, etc. I am immensely thankful to you for these invaluable videos. They are more relevant now than ever before.

I could watch you all day as you build something. I'm always very impressed about your detailed planning and the way you build things in a pragmatic manner. Thanks for hours and hours first quality videos, tips and tricks!

[KRColson]

You are an incredible craftsman Mathias! You blow me away with your ingenuity! Looking forward to more of your amazing videos. Thank you.

[TexasGTO]

I don't care how many new videos are in my sub page when I get up... I watch Matthias first! Great job man! Keep up the excellent work!

Matthias, I watched the entire original series as you posted them, but watching it all over again in twenty minutes is just as satisfying. I love that you start using the saw, to build the saw.

there is something that's humorous and very satisfying about watching the videos in super fast. its interesting to watch you suddenly become super humanly fast at the project and i love watching it!

Please keep making more of these longer compilations. They're perfect for relaxing before bed.

Seriously you are like the Albert Einstein of woodworking? I feel like I just got done watching Einstein invent and create his theory of Relativity....Well in this case Relativity would be your bandsaw creation!! To be able to get to your level of innovation and problem solving skills shown in this video of your bandsaw build. Would take someone like me an intermediate woodworker I feel like a lifetime to achieve!! You displayed some amazing skills in this build of your bandsaw creation from scratch!! I really do wish that one day in my woodworking career I can create as something as amazing and skillful as I just watched in this video! Thanks for taking the time to record, edit, and share this on YouTube! I learned a whole lot from watching a master like yourself put this bandsaw together, and so I just wanted to say Thank you! Lastly I would like to let you know that your videos like this are much appreciated!!

Matthias, you're nothing short of genius. I only wish I had your workshop and all the tools needed to create THIS marvelous tool.

My 20" bandsaw is almost done and she works fine. I just have to make the cabinet around the machine. I've done a test and she works great! Thanks Matthias.

Some say that this is his actual build speed, and most of his videos are slowed down so that mortals can mentally process his work.

[jticklemaker]

Just a word to say your trick using a dowel to move a hole a few mm just saved my life ^^ Thank you :)

[davidlewis]

Dude... Words cannot describe my appreciation for your skill and mechanical intelligence..ohhh and anyone who can build a frkn bandsaw from basically nothing in his house slippers is my dam hero.. Great job.. Wow!!!

[FarmCraft]

I like the single video. It gives you an appreciation of just how much work it is start to finish. And you are amazingly fast with those clamps on that frame!

[JPNixon-hujd]

The build is beyond impressive. I always remark at how easily you make precision work look.

Today I'm working on my first ever woodworking project! I'm rebuilding part of my sister's bed that I broke the other day. I only have a few basic power tools like a circular saw that I've just got, and a drill and screwdriver that I stole from my father. I would like to thank Matthias for being one of my biggest inspirations. I'll keep improving my skills and I might be able to build this one myself some day. Matthias probably won't even read this, but that's fine.

Молодец парень, руки и голова не месте. Из дерева и фанеры сделал такой замечательный станок. Каие у негоотличные инструменты станки и приспособы, а еще чистота и порядок в мастерской. Класс.
