genius, sir you have serious skills, a wood master

As a father of six. I gotta say this is a sweet idea! Awesome Job!

You are just an unbelievable wood genius. I have watched several of your videos and seriously on every occassion I have been blown away with your amazing gift and ease of getting it done with the most of simplest wood working tools. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

Oh man, lol. Of course my toddler would comment on the video about baby gates. Guess I better put a password on my phone

Oh, as they say, you could make a small fortune with woodworking. But you have to start with a large fortune.

Matthias, you have a truly, truly unique gift. My life is enriched by the way you share your insights and projects with us. Your family's lives are clearly blessed also. My favorite part of the whole video is the look on your sister-in-law's face when you were over there test fitting it. She looks like she is just blown away by your project. Money couldn't have bought them such a perfect gate. One day, you'll be on the cover of Time Magazine.

I am from Egypt and I have no idea about woodworking and yet I love to watch your work and videos and how you solve problems like these! great job Matthias!

That's pretty ingenious and yet still so simple. I'm almost surprised that something like this isn't on the consumer market. Though, it's so much more satisfying when you make something yourself. I wish I had the room for a wood shop like that.

perhaps you could have waxed the pivots to make them not creek

Yes, I would see the problem of having a creek at the bottom of the stairs, it would cause water damage and possibly flood the house.

If you haven't already, you should get a provisional patent and sell this idea.

+Ryan Taylor I think it is too obscure for a company to jump on. Also, the tolerances would be somewhat prohibitive. The parallelogram style leaves no room for error. Cool idea though.

+Bob Hannah So many projects ARE custom fit, so why should this be any different? I'm in need of two baby gates, not on stairs, but in areas where there aren't any available right now that would even come close to fitting, even with some rigging, so any ideas are worth it to me.

Patents are cancer. If you have such an amazing idea, execute it better than another would. Copycats won't outsell you if your product is superior.

I've been getting into wood working lately and gotta say. Your videos are really inspiring and motivating for me. Sometimes a little too complicating and technical. But still something to strive for. Thanks

Beautiful gate! Did you eventually have to put in an additional locking mechanism? My kids would have figured that out after a few weeks of trial and error.

That is a superb solution to the problem. You really should consider selling that design, I bet one of the baby product manufacturers would love a design like that.

Easy. Put concrete in bucket, use wooden stick to stir it. Done!

Bravo. That's a lucky boy with such an inventive uncle as yourself. Top marks. 😊

Matthias you are nothing short of a Genius ! Excellent job, and to see it serving its purpose was priceless !

Let's hope that action is only operated by adults. The top bar is actually wide enough, you don't even touch the spindles.

I really like that solution. It shows the benefits of a custom made solution. Love the way you minimised the fixings, Baby gates are temporary. Buy a blasted countersink, you know it makes sense.

awesome, totally awesome ! you, Ron Walters and Chris Hadfield are 3 awesome Canadians..This has been a great week.

Great work Matthias. Clever as usual! I'm sure the parents are pleased with the product.

My 2 year old daughter has inherited my love of adventure, and thus is hard to keep at the bottom of the stairs. I think I've just figured out my weekend plans. Brilliant concept!

You have a gift, Matthias, for simple, elegant solutions... Chuck

i just love this guy. he has some really amazing ideas!! god bless him!

This is fantastic, when the baby outgrows it, its makes a really neat clothes dryer for the laundry room.

Not sure if it's necessary. By the time they figure out how to cicrument baby gates, they aren't that much of a risk on the stairs anymore either.

Matthias, it's one thing to be a Master wood working marvel, but its quite another to also be an Engineer and be able to design. Your Great dude.!!! Thanks

Only lifting opens it up. Let's hope that by the time the kid is able to figure it out and do it, he'll also manage the stairs.

Matthias, Great project, your brother is very lucky to have you.

PERFECT!!!!! I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, my son JUST started climbing stairs and we have gate at the top but not at the bottom. This solution is FANTASTIC! cute kid! :)

Your videos and projects are amazing. I keep watching them. You make/do so many clever things. I hope I'll be able to make one percent of it during the next twenty years. By the way, nice to see your wife on the video for a split second.

Great. This is nearly exactly what I need for my 10 month old son who's also geeting more and more mobile. Additionally I need a whole in the gate for our cat. But that should be easy to do with one or two shorter spindles and a short extra horizontal rail in the gate.

Matthias Wandel hi I have shown your channel to my grandad and you enspire us both with your great ideas My grandad is very jealous of your workshop so am I but the best thing is you enspire us all. I hope you enjoy reading this comment you should be proud of yourself mate :D Keep up the good work to.

Never heard of it . What is it?

It would be cool to add on a wedge track up against the pivot on the base so it clears the stairs the when pushing it back without having to apply upward force

@Slizzard73

Wouldn't friction make that difficult?

@thekeith1221

6 жыл бұрын

Not if you put some sort of elastic like a bungee chord on the parallelogram from the corner at the top side of the pivot to its opposite (lower corner on newel post side). this would mostly counteract the friction by providing the compression force needed to squash the parallelogram.

I loved his baby. Congratulations! I appreciate your Good job with woods. Thanks.

I made one of these when my baby started attempting the stairs. Great idea! Thanks

This is such an elegant and beautiful solution!

Nice job.. I don't have time to see all your videos but when I do . I enjoy seeing them !

Another necessity being the Mother of Invention project well done!! Very creative and practical! Nice job!!

Excellent hun. I once made the same, for the door, in my motorhome, to stop my blind dog getting out, and fresh air in. The space was very limited, so it worked idea.

Wow agian. that Nephew is very lucky I can,t wait to see all the cool toys you will make for him.

Ha, that would have been soo cool. He now stands up with just one hand holding a bit, but to rub a cup against bars - that may take a while.

BACK TO YOUR BEST MATT! Awesome when you build with your brain. Clever man, mean to babies, but clever. Although... I did expect a custom spring mechanism that opens it automatically and swings it up on the stair angle at the same time - lol. Gr8 video thanks. Good to have you back.

this is seriously the best one... damn So Smart!

Actually this is much simpler than i thought it would be, but it's only the practical side. If i had to come up with the idea, i probably wouldn't be able. It's just so genius, how you solve things.

It is amazing what you can build with proper tools!

Mathias, you sir are an ingenious woodworker!

So happy to see somebody using a "manual" screwdriver.

Matthias, I only hope that you are employed doing R & D for some company... It would be a shame if your talents were not compensated accordingly. Outstanding job as always!

Looks like it will stay, but just because I love them, I would use 2 small neodymium magnets to hold it against the wall. One in the wood and one on the wall. Maybe held with a dab of hot glue so it could be heated and removed without much or any damage to the wall. Very awesome Matthias!!

I like what you did a LOT ! This is very clever. Whats your job ?

Great Reply Matthias, They also say a sure fired way to become a millionaire in the housing market is to start out as a billionaire. Great job on the baby gate as always, definitely a great way to protect the youngsters. You Sir are an inspiration to all woodworkers. Thanks for the video's.

Naw. We need more evolution! Actually, by the time they can crawl enough to get in trouble, their heads are way too big for the bars!

That was a pretty neat little solution you came up with. Kinda looked like your nephew was about to take a number there at the end.

I’m not sure how this isn’t as popular a topic as your blog suggests! It’s really a fantastic idea that can be adapted to many scenarios. I’m looking to build one of these soon. Would be happy to buy some plans from you to support the page, but I haven’t seen any! Confident as I am in my woodworking abilities, I would love to follow your detailed instruction if possible. Excellent as always

You are a genius, sir. Hats off!

Brilliant, as always, thanks for making the videos Matthias...

I like the squeak. It will let you know if he's figuring it out.

I love watching and learning from your video's.

Nice, I like it. Them baby gates that expand across with a bottom rail, how many times have I tripped and almost fallen up and down the stairs with them, GRRR.

excelente idea, como siempre un reconocimiento a su trabajo

This looks great. You might think of some kind of latch so baby doesn't pull it away from wall while it is open.

Hey! What a cute child! Thanks for the idea!

Cute baby... Nice gate... He will be able to lift it sooner than you think. I'm sure you will solve that when the time comes...

I'm sure there is. I just made sure the bars were close than they were in on the existing banister. I'm sure the regulation has become more paranoid since though.

everybody gangsta until the baby learns that squares can be parallelograms and opens the gate

oh gosh the baby is so cute~ XD Thats an awesome innovation you've got there.

Beautiful job, "grate" design and execution.

Excellent job....love your workshop!

Ola Matthias , uau ,cadeia para bebês ! Brincadeira . Muito bom , aliás como sempre . Parabéns Ah , Ukulele também muito bom !

Slick solution and a pleasure to watch.

Thats a cool baby gate i could use something like that to stop my dog getting up the stairs as he sometimes tries to get into our loft space. A parallelogram gate would be ideal for me as the bottom of my stair well is just a small 3 feet by 3 feet space before you have to turn to get into the hallway of the house so there is no space for the baby gate :D

Markus (my brother) already made one.

Again, another nice piece of work!

You are awesome! As usual, great job. Thank you!

I bet Max is getting to the age where he wants to help! I would love to see your take on a "toddler kitchen helper" , thoughts on making one? Keep up all the great videos !!!

After seeing how you kept him out of the planter dirt, Im thinking this kid is growing to like you less and less! But he's learning by observation no doubt. Maybe build him some toys too so you're not always the bad guy!

you are unbelievable! congratulations, man....

Best baby gate made by a woodworker with his own website for his nephew named max of the century

I would suggest putting another wooden hook on the stair wall so you can store it in the open postion, without the chance of swing back in the closed position. Nice Job.

Great video Matthias, I am planning on making one of these. Alas I don't have such great tools at my disposal, so it could take a while longer! :-)

I have been wanting to make this gate for a while now as I don't like that the gate we had would swing out and block the door next to the bottom of the stairs. Well today the older kids just broke the gate so I might just have to make one like yours tonight to keep the littlest one safe.

Thanks for this video! I've been building a fence in an uneven grade and the customer wanted a gate in it. The problem is that since the hinges are level, when the gate is open the supporting caster is no longer in contact with the ground. I tried angling the hinges but it caused them to bind. A parrelogram is perfect. And I've never heard of it being done. I'm not sure if dowels will give me the structural integrity I need. The gate is fairly heavy. But I'm going to try it with steel spacers and double nutted bolts I think. It will be a fun project.

Damn that's a cool design. Never seen something like that before.

5:20 The nephew is thinking : Why uncle Matthias ?! i want to explore :)

This guy does it like a BOSS!

Man, I wish I had an uncle as cool as this!

Very Clever, and fine craftsmanship.

Such a cute baby!

Wax on the dowels would do it. "would", because I'm not going to. I'll let my brother do it if it bothers him.

Ahhh, I wish I had seen this like three months ago when I realized it was time to put in baby gates on our steps!

Nifty piece of work!

you could get the creaking sound out with bees wax in all the joints but I like that sound. very nice video.

protect a baby was what occupied my last carpentry projects.
