Wow, really?

The fact you used a pocket hole makes me like your work even more. I believe all joinery has its purpose and place. Just as unsightly nails were perfect on the bottom, the pocket holes were also perfect in their place. Cheers, and keep the videos coming!

Sifting through the ton of comments of surprise about the pocket holes, I just thought I'd say thanks for the tip about scoring plywood to avoid tearout.

+Matt Johnston I was hoping to preempt the pocket hole comments by what I said in the video. But to no avail!

+Matthias Wandel in a youtube comment section? C'mon, you know better than that! Lol. As with anything, there's a time and place for everything...even pocket holes.

Mattihas, 1- Beautiful child...congratulations to you both. 2- I like your lumber supplier, same as mine. I carry a rechargeable drill, driver bits and small sledge in my van at all times for "lumber selection". Also a fine place to "shop" for drawer guides, drawer pulls, glass and mirrors. 3- Nice simple jig for short term application. 4- Back cutting laminate surfaces first to limit tear-out. 5- Good tip on slipping a piece of material against guide, in cut off sled to square up material, then remove to align piece against cut guide. 6- like the no fuss efficient manner in which you "set the depth" of the drill bit. 7- clever jig to repeat cut dowels to length 8- good tip on aggressively tapering the dowels for easier alignment on final glue up. 9- Use of pocket holes.... Too funny!!...you do love to "poke the bear"....equals sense of humor and entertainment value. 10- And ending comments on changes you would make to improve said jig next time. This my friend is why I never miss one of your videos no matter what your making. Thanks

What's really cool is that your kid is going to be able to watch this in a few years and see the work you put in into making a shelf just for them.

Great recycling job Matthias! I love to see discards being repurposed. Very creative.

What I like about your channel is you always successfully demonstrate the application of an idea without wasting time on minutiae. You only ever talk when it's relevant, or when the video is done.

When making my own dowel pins, I usually run the entire length of the dowel rod along the disc sander to create a flat on the pins. This allows for any air or excess glue to come out without cracking the wood. Cheap plywood is often "porous" enough where it is not much of a problem, but certainly can make assembly easier. Also, the assembly of the cabinet with all those dowel pins certainly required the doweling jig, quick thinking, and quick working. You pulled it off wonderfully. Always a joy to see what you will come up with next. Keep the videos coming.

Matthias: the most prolific scavenger ever! How can one not like that?

That last jig tip has just saved me a bit of thinking tomorrow, thanks Matthias.

Glad to see that you are now a pocket hole oficianado! :) Thanks for the dowel jig idea, I might go back to using dowels more often...

You have children's books in three languages. Bravo!

I almost choked on my drink when you mentioned pocket holes.

Great video, I have doweled for 40 years and you addressed the most time intense application with genius. You have a blessed mine.

Great job sir. Both your woodworking and video production skills are top notch.

I hope when your daughter is old enough, she will see these videos and appreciate the things that you made for her.

Believe me, you'll be needing a LOT more shelves! :) Great job and congratulations to you and your wife.

There's something very soothing and relaxing about your sped up footage.

As everyone else, I got a good chuckle with the pocket holes. Oh, how the mighty have fallen....

Am I the only one who watches these videos for satisfaction? It's so relaxing

Really nice bookcase- and a beautiful baby.

The dowel hole was a superb idea. Thanks alot.

I actually let out an audible gasp when I saw the pocket-hole jig.

It was quite the surprise learning this creation we watched get made step by step is being hidden behind a chair, haha. A true utilitarian!

this guy is a smart cookie, i like the way you do things matthias. like the like jig to cut the dowels to length or the way you flipped the dowel jig to cut both the shelves and the sides. keep up the good work!

This is how creativity brings joy to our lives!!! Very nice!

Love it that you have baby books in English, French and German ! Great tips as well in the video.

That is the best book shelf I have ever seen and yours tips on the jig are appreciated

Super creative...!! Really admire your creativity.

اجمل ما في انجاز العمل هي معل اسطابه للتاكد من عمل الثقوب بشكل منظم و اشكرك لاني بتعلم منك اصول الصناعه وان اي عمل لا يتم انجازه الا ولبد ان يشغل الانسان عقله وان يكون لديه اتساع افق وشكرا لك يا matthiss

Does anyone else here not make any of these projects, but just enjoy watching these videos anyway?

I love the way you find and use reclaimed wood Great work

Video request: Ultra-fast motion mallet and hammer use!! I don't care what you build, or how, or what its made of, watching your fast motion hammering is one of life's simple pleasures! I'm only slightly kidding, great work Matthias, thanks for all the videos! eric

+epd807 If you like fast motion mallet, google buddy rich drum solo. There are quite a few to choose from. It is most impressive.

I'm glad that you managed to overcome your disgust about pocket holes. Pocket holes have their use and a good engineer know when they can or can't use this type of joint. Now you know.

Welcome to the Pocket Hole Family! We don't judge. ;) As ever, thanks for sharing.

I have been bing watching your channel lately and am here to never let you live down using that pocket hole jig :)

Holy Dowels! 😱💕👍

My Grandfather told me, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken feathers (abridged for public!. However, after seeing some of Matthias' creations I now think even that might be possible! Matthias you are incredible!

Seeing the amount you used it's clear you're addicted to dowels now!

Nice looking shelf, especially for a dumpster dive.

Another great build! It is always nice to see how cleaver you are at finding and repurposing your build materials. Thanks for the video

so many nice ways to do things in one video. I learned a lot.

Even I am not a woodworking type of person, but I enjoy your video very much. I think I had watch all your video now.

First off, loved the video as always, It is one of the highlights of my week to see your new video. Second, what is with all the negativity in the comments. If you don't like the shelf or think the shelf will not last long enough, nobody cares. Matthias was nice enough to take the time to make an entertaining video that was better than most of the crap on TV today. He used scraps and garbage, and the end product was nice. On top of that being a new dad takes a ton of time, he not only took the time to make a shelf for his child's books but also made a video of it. Keep it up, the haters just going to hate.

Wandel is a really odd fella, but I really like this guy!!! There are so many more modern choices in aesthetics than 70's oak!!! But not only does it make it, he made it tough enough so support the house in case of an earthquake.

Man you got some serious tools!

Matthias is #1 practical/pragmatic KZread carpenter xD , always wingin' it

Oh oh, finally we get to see this wonderful garbage shop you seem to get all your stuff from ;)

A real master! There you have it, that is how is done.

Great project Mathias, your jigs come in handy for most of your projects. Well done, David.

lack of sleep is taking its toll... good thing matthias is a genius :D

I really like the way you think outside the box. Thanks for the great video and ideas that I can use in my shop.

I love that you show your mistakes (dowels to long). Don't change a thing.

Awesome doweling jig!

His baby is like a test subject for all his projects... Purpose of baby: test awesome projects. Nothing more nothing less. Lol

Very nice. And pocket holes have their place. I liked this video. Thanks.

Very nice bookcase Thanks for share Best regards from Sinaloa, Mx

i am french and i am 14 years old i love you video

Another efficient, clever, thrifty and useful project. I'm as entertained (as usual) by Matthias' design, materials and methods as I am by the comments made by viewers who just don't get it.

Mattias, you have gone to the dark side, pocket holes? What next, testing glued pocket hole joints??? Love the modified one time jig you came up with. And yes, using the right joint for the job at hand. Great build.

love how you always *find* wood around. here it is very hard to find some wood that isnt only for burning. great videos!

masterful pocket hole work!

Richard Scarry! Good choice! Your little bubbin will grow up with a good brain with such good reading material!

Matthias using pocket holes! Apocalypse is nigh! Save yourselves!

Congrats on the baby sir. They grow up quick. I still can't believe that my boys are 6 and 8 already.

Pocket holes? Who are you and what have you done with Matthias?

Pocket holes? I gotta to see that again! Nice job

Great video man. Love how resourceful you are.

Good thing you work that fast.

I could not hold back some small laughs with the pocket hole references :) Nice tips in that start of the video. Thanks

Nice dumpster find! Nice looking bookcase, too.

I think hell just froze over, Matthias just used pocket holes!!! #hehehe Great video my friend! Always great to see your amazing work with trash finds! :D #reclaim #recycle #reuse

Beautiful baby Matthias! Nice job on the book case. That turned out great. Btw, nice tricks. Douglas

Brilliance Matthias..another enjoyable and inspiring video. Thank you.

Awesome doweling jig !! Real inspiration !! Keep it up, I love your videos !!

Nicely done. I once made two similar shelves for my kids out of pine boards for the same exact reason. After about two years, I discovered that I should have added a backing board on the back. Cheap thin luan plywood did the trick !

Amazing video(s)! So much detail and explanation for someone like me who knows nothing about woodworking! Seeing this video online with my cup of tea in hand, what bliss! Excellent editing too, keeping the whole process in the video just by speeding up the slow parts. Really good work! Oh, and the bookcase looks ok too ;-)

I like that Matthias knows just when to speed up the video. Right when I think I'm going to have to skip past watching him glue up a bunch of dowels, the 8x speed kicks in and I'm saved a click or two. Great job again Mr. Wandel.

Ermagherd!! Pocket Herrs!! This might be my favorite Matthias video EVER!

Really love the way you work. Keep it up!

Nice job. Looks great. Those big clamps look so useful.

LoL, I recognize most of those books from when they came into our house when our son was born. Congrats! on your newborn Matthias

if not done I'd strongly consider attaching the shelf to the wall to prevent tipping when little hands start reaching and pulling themselves up to the top shelf. the weight of the books helps but does not prevent it from happening. great video, congrats on the new baby.

I enjoy the fast-forwarded sctions, they add a funny feature to the video.

Your an awesome dad! Wish I had someone in person to show me how to build a book shelf and other things carpenter do..

When you pulled out the pocket hole jig, I was waiting for the "NOPE" but I guess this is a good implementation of the tool. Nice work!

Fantastic! Repurpose and beautiful. You are a good dad. Thankz

Nice! I like how you almost always use reclaimed lumber.

I love your craftsmanship and I wish I had the skills,tools,and patients to do stuff like this. But yeah enjoy the videos

I loved the idea of the backwards scoring cut ...

Great use of found materials. That is going to be a really strong shelf

So many helpful dowel tips in this video and article. Thanks again Matthias.

You make some of the most interesting videos on youtube. Greetings from Germany

his videos are very good! I watch hall! Happy birthday!!

Nice build and look great. nice job

Congratulations to you and your wife for having a baby

The good thing about dowels is that you definitely don't need THAT many

Matthias, you are really smart...Love watching your mind work in these videos...cheers...rr

i learnd so much tricks out of that video ! thanks !
