I am in awe of how smart this guy is. I learned at least ten methods for fabricating pieces together in this video. Wow. Thank you for sharing this.
This is why CZcams is such a good medium. A tv show would have set this to music, added some sob story and milked it and showed very little of the actual build.
I have watched countless hours of your videos and even though I'm never going to build my own bandsaw I now understand a little more about my own, cheap, shop bought model.
Keep it going exactly as you have with ever ambitious projects and detailed explanations please.
Since subscribing, I now own a surplus of tools that I have no business in using. Learning little by little, one finger at a time!
I would never begin to think about making most of the stuff you delve into, but I can't get enough of it. Well done!
This build is noting short of ....well, Fantastic! A factory built saw this size would be well over $2,000! Even with a bigger motor, you will be be way under that price. Bravo for showing all the great tips and methods you have shared with us. Thankz
So many excellent tips and techniques, like transferring screw positions, finding the center of a block of wood with calipers, creating splines with a table saw. Every time I re-watch, I learn something new. Thanks Matthias!
The apparent ease with which you build mechanisms out of wood is astonishing. You are the Clickspring of timber!
I truly stand behind the bloopers (drill chuck unmount) but what really got me is the proper grimace when eyeballing the saw slide gap when making the top wheel slide 👍👍👍You can really tell the Master one from another if the eyeballing grimace is right or just weak 😂
Matthias, I watched your video where you make a clock. I recently discovered that people who study Mars, often times refer to clocks that operate on Mars time (something like 2.4% slower than an earth clock). You should build one! I think that would be so cool to watch. Thanks for making Friday mornings a blast. Love this channel.
All of this talent in one man - just doesn't seem fair. Outstanding sir.
It never ceases to amaze me how many tools you have, one for , sorry 3 for every job. also the time you have, i'm envious, I never have enough time , its always a rush lol.. well done again. inspirational as always.
Thanks a lot! You are my online teacher! And now I get money from wood workings. I'm Thai, from Vietnam. Nice to see you here
Your craftsmanship, innovative ideas and attention to detail, never fail to fascinate, and keep me impressed. I wish I had the skills that you possess Matthias. Your workmanship is a credit to you. Cheers, Ed
When you make the first cut it's really impressive! You forget that it's simply a blade around 2 wheels! Love it.
Thanks for not just using the box joint jig. I like seeing the many solutions you know to a problem, not just the best ones.
I really enjoy these videos of you building your own machines from scratch. I'm only just getting into things like carpentry and woodworking and such, and these videos demystify the whole process for me. Reminds me that, if you think ahead and you're careful and precise, you can make anything. Cheers!
Your videos inspire me time and time again to get out there and do some woodworking!
I felt much better after seeing your Jacaobs33 chuck fall off the spindle! I thought I was the only one that ever happened to. I change it out for a collet all the time so I hate having too jammed up on there.
Your projects and videos have always been well done and your teaching process has gotten really good the past few videos. Thanks for doing all the extra work to share your creations with us.
Your talent and creativity never cease to amaze.
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the time you spend in making these videos. I do not have available the resources readily available to make such things, but I have picked up on a number of tips from watching yours.
Always a pleasure to watch these vids. Looking forward to the blade guides video.
I finally figured out what's cooler then building your own wooden bandsaw???
Answer: Building another larger wooden bandsaw.
So awesome I really enjoy your videos. :)
your shop clothes are nicer than my church clothes!! great video as always. I've learned so much from you from when I first discovered your channel.
it cuts like a hot knife through butter and i love it when you do a time lapse that has hammering in it. its so funny to hear it
It's nice to see education turned into a very practical interpretation.
Wonderful build. Love your workmanship. I can see that you put a lot of pride and expertise into your efforts. Your work is not only a joy to watch, it is worth following. Well done.
Matthias, I think one of your greatest aptitudes is knowing exactly where your projects need precision and where it doesnt matter so much. So many of us woodworkers get hung up on making things absolutely precise. Its hard to realize that sometimes its ok to just eyeball something. Great project!

Matthias, once again you never fail to impress, keep up the outstanding work.
Thanks for the tip on straitening the weld on a bandsaw blade!
you clearly put a lot of thought into these builds, incredible work :)
This guy just accomplished more in one video, than I did in my whole entire lifetime...
Very interesting watching your creations come to life - you are my favourite channel on CZcams.
Your problem solving skills are remerkable
Great video. I love how fast your are producing these one after another!
Bro, you are a genius and an inspiration.
So much content in so little time, which is why I love your videos.
Great video and build as always - thanks Matthais for sharing your work!!
For carriage bolts in such a crucial device, I will often use a piece of copper pipe slightly larger than diameter of bolt, but smaller than square carriage head to provide a fitting for the bolt. I'll heat the end of the pipe up with a torch, then seat the bolt into the pipe and and give it some taps with a hammer until the copper conforms to the shape of the square carriage head. Then, I'll saw off this end and embed it in the wood to provide a more reliable metal fitting.
I'm always concerned about carriage bolts wearing down wood and potentially coming loose- unlikely with strong and dense hardwood, but sometimes its easy to get hung up on that one little thing...
Cheers Matthias, love your videos as always.
Excellent project coverage again Bud. Love watching these!
Your skills are amazing. Love the fact you make videos to share with us.
Hello, I am Chinese friends, I love you making machine, I do not feel shy, English, this is my webpage translation of words, if where there is wrong, please forgive, you make the machine is really great.
This whole "making that will be the subject of my next video" thing is new. You've mastered the art of the cliffhanger. Can't wait.
Im always learning so many things when watching your videos. i like how you used a flat board to reference against the crosscut sled fence to cut the splines flush.
I don't know if you were the first to use accelerated speeds to show processes but you certainly helped to make the practice popular. Thank you for that. When I'm watching a how to video that doesn't use that feature and it' drags on for 20 minutes I usually just don't finish the video or I jump around a lot.
Jimmy Diresta used a lot of fast forward long before I did
Nothing worst about people complaining about entertainment. You can watch 5 minute infomercials on TV. Nobody cares about that here, on CZcams. Such a stupid, stupid comment to make, Kate.
I think Kate's criticism is valid, editing quality makes a video much more enjoyable to watch and it's often an under-appreciated aspect of these build videos. Even if the content is interesting, sitting through 5 minutes of somebody applying varnish would be a drag.
We also appreciate the absence of all the blah, blah, blah that's the norm on videos here.
Kate's comment is valid, I don't watch TV mostly because of my life timing but also because of the constant flow of terrible ads. There's no point in dragging a video out watching a process that there's really no gain in watching. Speeding a segment up keeps the viewer engaged and helps to not miss anything important, otherwise you might fast forward and miss something that the subject of the video said.
If you go to a sharpening store they usually have a box of bandsaw blade that they will weld any size right there in the shop and if its crooked you can get them to fix it. Great videos Matthias.
The Quality of your videos are top-notch.
Is not possible to see 96 dislikes over here..... Matthias is a Big teacher about wood tools. I already learned so much with this man. Congratulation !! greetings from Brazil.
Wow you are a very smart and talented wood worker. I love your videos. I really want to start wood working as a hobby and your videos do wonders.
Wandel "The Woodelf" one of CZcams's finest. Not the production quality of a lot of the other channels, but I still find it to be light years ahead contend wise...
I love how you have separated this build into multiple videos.
Wow tnx Mr. Wandel for sharing it, can't wait for the next one!!
Great video. Well detailed, short clips, and clear audio.
You do beautiful work, my friend! Good stuff!
As always an inspiration to watch. I'll have to look for a motor and try and build that monster - a good bandsaw is gold. Thanks for your effort and your many videos :)
Your skills and equipment are amazing.
Amazing work! Your handmade tools are awesome! Have a good day.
Your "go-to-itness " is inspiring, good job.
I admire your skills and creativity!
Congratulations on the beautiful work.
Love your videos. Really shows while having really nice tools can make things easier still cant beat a quick mind.
Great video! Everyone has a different take away from this video. Mine was a the tip of using a washer to find the center of a dowel.
Always enjoying your videos.
Great build 👍
Your wood is very soft, incredible, here in Brazil there are many dense woods, congratulations for the work.
When I see your drill press work I often thing "man, he's fast!" then realize you probably just sped up the video, haha. It's looking great!
At about the 10:22 mark, you heard me yelling at my computer "Do you have any plans for someone who doesn't ALREADY HAVE A BANDSAW!?" So thank you for that. I will be purchasing the plans for this and building a bandsaw of my own so I can create more bandsaws!
Man, you make it look so easy! 🤓👍🏼
Really coming together... very nice.
Congratulations on another great job.
Nice work, Matthias.
you are an aboslute legend! i wish i was as clever as you, u are an huuge inspiration. regards from Norway!
Beautiful work of art!
So very cool. You are a true mad genius with stuff like this.
Love watching your videos!
Have to say i don't want to build this 20" saw you are building now, because I already got a 24" cast iron saw from the 50s, but it's really making me want to build as 16" version. Hate changing between blades. All very interesting and motivating to watch your videos, I just want to go out and build something.
these videos are really interesting, thank you
Matthias,you are genius !! greeting from Croatia
Love the new voiceovers!
wow! amazing project -- thank you for posting!!!
It is really awesome to see how you have refined the design over the few you have made. How about a 36" bandsaw for the next series!
the second I thought to myself "you need a bandsaw to make a bandsaw", you interjected that apology... creepy timing! LOL 😂. great video, as always, and the build is coming along awesome! be well!
Really enjoying this series. I had wondered how well your design scales, so no I will find out! ;-)
very nice job done Matthias
Awesome and inspiring--love this!
8:40 I know nothing about bandsaws, but I would be terrified to try cutting something when the band is exposed lime that. This series of videos is so exciting. It's coming to life and we get to see every step in detail.
cartoon80s90s I'd suspect that it's not going to go off centre because of the high tension on the blade, plus the crowned wheels. Either way, he knows what he's doing better than either of us.
Then perhaps woodworking is not for you.

I have seen people do some crazy things with simple tools, and a bandsaw is hardly a necessary tool if someone wants to take his first steps. And I think if someone is not feeling comfortable using a tool, there are ways around that. So, obviously, I disagree with you.
Top notch troubleshooting on the go! Blade weild fix trick was stunning :O
Nicely done!
Great video, Matthias! Thank you!
You are absolutely THE BEST!!!!!!
Marcello Italy
Great work Matthias!
Good stuff, Matthias. Coming together!
Dam, that guys clever.
excellent job as always.
wonderful work
Awesome work, as usual.
So impressive to watch!
These made machines are an inspiration. I appreciate your engineering finesse combined with reuse of scrap material. As I am putting together a shop I keep thinking I need to buy this... then I ask myself, why don't you make it yourself? Thank you for sharing.
I often have ideas of things to make and hesitate on moving forward as I just think they should be made from metal. Seeing your projects though, makes me think, "Why not use wood?" It seems to be work out very well in your projects. Thanks....
Amazing work!
