This channel is a great example for why television is obsolete. And the craftsmanship... simply amazing!

I used to work in a Tool & Die shop and we made dozens of these molds for the old rotary phones. The cavities had to be polished to a mirror finish for the final plastic part to be as smooth and glassy as they are. We would use a duplicator in the earlier years and make the cavity and core very same principal as your duplicator. Great job!

Mount your pieces on to a turntable. Where the turntables are synced togeher on the bottom by a belt or gears so that you can spin your pieces without worrying about alignment. Just align them the first time.

That's a great idea and it wouldn't take that much time either

Dear Friend. I make this comment, but not fluent in English, I wrote this thanks to google translator, because I'm Cuban and since I came to the U.S. three years ago I have been fascinated as you get it all together using wood, am a carpenter, Cuba and we had to iinventar and make tools, I present my regards and my respect, teacher

I am floored by your skills good sir. I tip my hat to you. No it's not made of wood.

I enjoy watching you work as I lazily sit and eat. It's way better than creating content myself.

Marty's here wow !

Should definitely work for that. The track that it rides back and forth on can be made as long as you need it to be.

These machines you create are ingenious, really inspired.

You are brilliant. Not just how you make these projects, but how you think of them in the first place. Keep 'em coming!

This fella is a treat to watch. The machines that I have watched in production and in motion are incredible and will not cease to amaze me.

Mathias you're a genius. Very impressive work!

I must say I'm impressed with accuracy... It's all about what you leave behind to be cleaned up by hand w/ these things!

at 4:45 he looks like the guy from " honey i shrunk the kids"

i dont necessarily want to make the things that you have...but i am in awe of your skills.... i literally am glued to the videos and really...i just cannot get over what you do... amazing. love it. thanks for the ideas...dont stop....

I have said it before and ill say it again.you gotta respect a true woodworker

On a separate note... outstanding video, man. Hats off to you.

You probably don't need it, but some hints for improved performance: 40mm dowel handles each side of the router/follower fixture. Line the roller rails with aluminium angle to improve lifespan and precision. Use a flat bottomed, round cornered bowl-bit instead of a hemispherical bit to avoid the problems associated with cutting at the centre tip of the round bit where blade tip speed becomes very small. Fit hydraulic dampers or brakes to each axis to minimise chattering or skipping.

i'm glad i found your channel, you're a brilliant carpenter.

Just amazing. Not for nothing but you just made an exact copy of a phone..... WOW you are truly awesome. Congrats

I compare you with Jimmy Diresta in a woodworking level as he is in a welding level. You both are awesome to learn from. Thanks for sharing

Absolutely fascinating. Your videos are extremely watchable!

One hell of a conversation piece. Looks amazing!

Actually, by alignment, I was referring to calibrating out any error in making these. Just think of how many things could be subtly off by half a millimeter in what you describe.

I'm always impressed with your projects.

u r such an artist matthias....

Another inspiring and impressive video. The copy jig looks like a comparatively simple build given what it can do - amazing! I love the little iPhone joke at the end.

Still better coverage than sprint. lol

You back there u r a pain in the ass.

Just amazing,I’m really impressed !!! Thanks for uploading and also taking the time to do the work 👍👍👍👍

The iPhone part killed me hahaha.

I stand by my original assessment of you, Matthias. You are a genius.

It's just some rails and scrap of plywood that I clamped to the table saw. The frame that rolls on it isn't very big.

for more info, click the link in the description, just like it says in the video. Yes, I have plan for it.

Matthias, you're an inspiration!

Your projects and ingenuity inspire. Amazing!

Have you ever thought of using this tool to make carved top guitar bodies? Like the ones made by PRS (they call it a violin carve)? There are plenty knock offs for cheap. Compared to this telephone it should be fairly easy to make. I really admire your work. Great channel!

Great job, it must really take patience and good knowledge of which bits and when to use them.

you should put 2 lazy susans on your table with a chain between/around them so you can move both your original and target together.

Your projects are really smart.

You're an engineering genius!

Não há dúvidas que você é um gênio cara. Cuide de sua audição!

thats very cool, AND you could easily hollow it out and wire it up to really work... just use a bluetooth piece, a mic, speaker and some batteries :)

hi Matt, to get the alignment right while repositioning the pattern and work, use 2 round discs for the mount and connect close to the circumferance them using a thin steel rod. this was rotating one disc will rotate the other. or you may use your gears to do the same trick :)

You come up with the coolest gadgets.

I just bumped into your vid, very nice! I bought a duplicarver off Ebay a while back but have not had time to use it. Mine is more of a gunstock or table leg carver, yours is a little more practical. Thanks

The phone had no chord lol that's an awesome machine mathias keep it up !

MAD wood carving SKILLZ right there!! O_O If only wood carving was a part of the Olympic games... maybe one day.

I love it! I want it!!! I used to be a phone man. The phone company I work for turned into a fiber optic triple play company who shall remain nameless. It starts with a V and ends with erizon. I long for the days of being a "phone man".

Very nic but i need how 3D letter machine how get it sir?

Love the woodworking videos! One word of caution though. I know of several woodworkers much older than you that are hating life and had wished they wore a mask when they were younger. Give it some thought if you don't.

I don't do very much sanding, certainly not with handheld sanders, so don't have a use for a downdraft table.

I was also concerned about your ears, Matthias! I can recommend ear protection with built in radio. I use them, love them, and they are just super relaxing to work with in loud environments. There's a big Swedish brand which produces them.

Safety First! Ears eyes lungs? Very cool tool that's for sure... well done.

I don't have an iphone. Just guessed at the dimensions and cut it out on the table saw and bandsaw. Much quicker that way.

Love the design of the copy carver and bonus points for the iPhone joke at the end =)

Not sure what monster you are referring to. The table saw? It's just an a-frame and two rails clamped to my saw. Not much to it.

Semplicemente fantastico.. bravo bravo.. 👏👏👏

It would be cool to see if you copy carve those nice seat bottoms you see on older chairs. They're carved just right making a solid wood seat comfortable

My parents gave me a wall-mounted western electric rotary phone by western electric. that looks like one that my dad grew up with, and I brought home a brown ITT touchtone desktop telephone from my cabin that the previous owner had, and my grandma and grandpa Oliver gave me their old rotary phone a western electric yesterday

His copier is a lot simpler than others.. less parts .. yet very good :)

Love the iPhone Special Pine Edition. Certainly my favorite part.

That has been suggested many times, but it would be very challenging to make that work accurately enough. If you don't believe me, try it and you will see.

I need to get the plans for this exquisite work of art!!!

Great skills! What I am jealous , its a having so much of free time .I have hobby in metal working , but trying to support my family with 3 kids, there almost never left any time for my self. I dont know whether you have got kids or not , but to spend so much of time on my projects its impossible for me.

MatthiS......BLOODY AWSOME. The stuff you come up with is just amazing. Congratulations.... I would like to offer an answer to "Itnecap".......because he can. And obvoiusly enjoys a challenge. Sometimes you do things to expand your mind and your knowledge. Other times you just like the challenge.

You are one of my favorite wood workers. i dream about making such a copying machine one day. Great job as usual. Another one down..what's next?

Great tool, very good idea copying things without CAD/CNC. Just need to paint the phone red :) Cheers...

Yes, follow the link in the description.

Very cool. I salute you and appreciate all you efforts to share your knowledge.

I'm somewhat surprised you didn't have a system of gears installed so that the original and copy would rotate when you needed to do the front and back on the receiver, as apposed to spinning them manually. Exceptionally cool, but most of your vids fall into that category already, thanks for posting

Wow, that telephone looks a bit rough, but it certainly looks good!

I explain mention in the accompanying article why I didn't do that.

That's amazing the possibilities of this is crazy!!!

Super genius What a fantastic creation Great addition to your shop made jigitools

That is damn awsome. You're like a wood working genius

The guy from down under was right, your videos take away from shop time, they are so addictive. Btw, you forgot to carve a cord for the headset ;-)

Oh wow that is really neat! Love it!

Looks like a great way to produce axe handles/gun stocks.

Anxiously awaiting the plans for the wooden iPhone!

very cool, I am old enough to remember when you had to rent these from the telephone company and they would install it, no way to unplug from the wall, iirc

What a genius contraption!

You sir, are a genius.

No kids. But I wish I had more time to tinker too. But writing and video editing take up an enormous amount of time.

Great job again Mathias!

Nicely done. I think the copy looks great just as it is. Now the real test of talent would be for you to copy carve a cat! LOL Seriously though, back in the heyday of the trades, a carpenter would take great pride in making his tool box, hammers, handles etc. as a visible sign of his skill. You are doing the same with the modern tools of the trade. A customer, upon entering your shop, could have no doubts as to your talent. Regards; SM

GREAT JOB ON THE PHONE! I would love to see you do a guitar body with that and if it works I'll buy the pattern for the copy carver!

You might be able to mitigate the reach problem by adding a tilt left and right ability with a parallelogram structure. It wouldn't have to be far, just a couple centimeters either way. Not sure how you would do it with the build you have right now, but it'd be neat.

Click the link in the description for more info.

You could make a rotating base for both object and copy. As you rotate one, the other rotates as well. You could even make a tilting mechanism as well that would allow you to flip both pieces, always keeping them aligned. If you had those additions, you could just phone in a project like this.

Very cool jig! I imagine this would be a timesaver for gunsmiths duplicating/reproducting rifle stocks. Also, it would be interesting to see a large worm gear created/duplicated.

you are the man !!! great work mate

you could probably rig up a couple of lazy susans and some pieces of plywood and a bike chain and make it so you don't have to unscrew everything to turn it. Maybe incorporate some clamps to hold your items and the piece down?

As usual, brilliance. But a suggestion for down the road: is there a practical way to get router bits made with extremely long shank ends for a machine like this to be able to do deeper detail work?

I just love the V guide system..Trust me it'll get used in the near future.

move the insides to the wood phone, you can get adapters to make the rotary work if your phone company doesn't support it

Man, you´re amazing, I really enjoy your videos. My pleasure

Amazing, Hello from Colombia, love this video

Try watching the video to the end.

YES finally a movie i havent seen from you! interresting project to

Someday i will learn how to do this. Great video!

Seems like the calls would be a bit "grainy" don't you think lol
