As a young mechanical engineer fresh out of college, watching you designing and building this saw is a lot of fun. Seeing all the little engineering changes and hand fitting on the shop floor shows nicely how this saw is a “prototype” and you haven’t built it before to prove everything was right. Would love to build this saw at some point!

I never thought I would ever know a better way to do something than Matthias, but I think I do. All he needed to do was use the masking tape and super glue trick to stick the thin stock on the carrier board. Done it many times with my Ryobi planer to make sound boards for instruments. On my planer the rollers engage before the cutters, making it easy to sneak up on it with a series of very light cuts.

This is some of the best content on KZread.

One other option for those who are considering their own bandsaws (or other machines) for work surfaces is MDF with HPL surfaces. The MDF is flat and has a significant mass to help deaden vibrations. The HPL provides a durable surface that is easy to clean. Combined they are an excellent choice which is very low cost. You can often get scraps of HPL from cabinet and counter top shops. The only downside really is the ability to hold fasteners and wide spans - but both are pretty easy to deal with.

That table turned out beautiful

It's the journey that matters. Plus, i think Martin teaches us about perfectionism. There's an important lesson in his work. That and what with the whole global issue we're having, it think that's his coping mechanism, he's been much more focused as of the start of the whole deal. But that's just my two cents. And with that said, man, now that's a bandsaw table. :)

Matias have you checked your local kitchen countertop fabrication shop for offcuts? They throw out tons of solid surface off cuts and most of them are more than happy give you as much of it as you want. Corian or Staron makes an excellent flat and smooth surface. I made my router table using a 1/2" thick 24x48 piece of Corian. It routes and cuts easily and can be glued to any substrate with epoxy or construction adhesive. You can even make your entire bandsaw out of it. Most fabricator shops also have granite off cuts which are excellent for all kinds of shop uses.

Excellent work as always 👍

Now you (badly)need a thickness sander to make your DIY upgraded vaneer plywoods. Does a great job on getting wide thin stock with consistent thickness. Great build on your version of the ultimate bandsaw. Hope you are planning to have a dust extraction port which is always tricky for a bandsaw

Incredible on many levels.

Excellent and wonderfull job, as usual.

I was watching you put the table on, and mark it for the blade guide. My mind immediately went, "No way is he going to clear out all the interfering bits with just one try. He's a genius, but if he gets away with doing that on the first shot, he deserves some sort of super genius award." Sure enough, 10 tries. That's about what I was expecting because whenever I have that sort of task to do. It ends up being an extremely time consuming bout of trial and error, with many errors.

That's some impressive thicknesser operation, Matthias! 11/10, approved, but I don't think I'd try it that way! :-D

Really like that you show your mistakes cause we all make em.👍

Nice work as always!

I don't remember if you don't like double stick tape. But for running thin boards or veneer that is at least an 1/8th" Put some double stick tape on the piece of plywood so that it catches the end of the veneer. You don't have to run the tape the whole length, just the end will do especially since you want to do both sides. Run the plainer on 1.

For what it is worth. I used a flat piece of 1 thick melamine with a block on the front side bottom to lock onto the thickness planer table and not let the melamine move. It stays put then just to act as a higher table. I could plane thin wood all day long with no problem. Wax the surface if needed.

Luthiers use a trick to mount thin stock to sleds using painters tape on both faces and super glued together. Much easier to clean and thinner than double sided tape.

7:20 It's not an official Matthias Wandel project video until he's hammering screws.

congratulations it's beautiful

I thought your previous comments on a collaboration with winter garten made sense. You have a fundamentally different approach. He tends to go for the highly polished product, whereas your builds are much more functional. Although it seems he's learning it can't always be that way.

@matthiaswandel

When he was going all "project management", that felt alien to me. But he's gone back to just trying things, which is what I would have done all along.

Martin in Wintergatan often chooses the aesthetic over function. Your bugaboo is making use of available materials rather than choosing easy path. Both are delightful approaches, but does make for complication. I think it is still worth it.

The modern nation state trundled in on trunnions - "The French saw the limitations of these massive weapons and focused their efforts on improving their smaller and lighter guns, which used smaller, more manageable projectiles combined with larger amounts of gunpowder. Equipping them with trunnions was key for two reasons: teams of horses could now move these cannons fast enough to keep up with their armies, without having to stop and dismount them from their carriages to achieve the proper range before firing." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunnion#Initial_significance

Sweet, using the tool to build the tool!

If you use double sided tape to the support board (just a few short pieces here and there) you can run really thin boards through the plane without problems. I plane boards down to 1 mm this way.

I love your videos sir.

Re planing thin material. The leading edge can be beveled (e.g., chisel or sander) to a feather edge, then glue that first inch to the sled. The rest of the stock doesn't need to be further secured. After planing, cross cut (with a utility knife if thin enough) just past the glued strip. That frees the bulk of the stock. If doing multiples, put the next one behind the strip that was left behind - that strip needs a bevel and glue too.

This bandsaw table is better looking and built than the ones people have in their living rooms

I just use a dedicated 36" inch or so melmine shelving sled (w/ a stop so it doesn't get sucked in) for planing veneers
