Molding tricks with a tilting router lift

[TheInternalKillerXx]

i got the same router bit set :D

[averagemale2000]

Not sure what I like more, the video content or the video editing/quality. Great job on both. Thanks for making these videos.

[zeratul575]

you know man you are a GOD among carpenters

Great job when i get some stuff together i might make homemade bandsaw

[jassvillem]

This is really interesting! If I may ask, did you mark angle and vertical dimensions on your adjustment devices or do you measure them by hand after every adjustment?

(English is foreign language to me so I hope I made my point.)

[Matthiaswandel]

I didn't measure anything while making that molding.

[KillerDrummer88]

wow that's really amazing!! You're so practical and creative, great work!

[hondannyboy]

You are like a wood engineer!

[hydeph]

That's the tablesaw I just restored. I was wondering if you could do a re-vamp article on how you did your extensions. I have a motor with a shaft on protruding from each side, and it blocks the right rail from extending to the same length as the left one. I didn't want to cut it off, it's a good motor.

I've thought of a tilting router mount before, but it NEVER would have occurred to me to tilt in the direction of travel.

I have a Jet-branded JessEm lift, which is a nice tool to have, but being one of the earlier generation, has slight rigidity issues.

[MinaBassilious]

You are a legend.

[workonitm8]

Great job and good thinking. I've thought about a tilting router many times but never pursued the idea. I always thought someone would do it eventually and you did.

Thanks!

[mrr1181]

Pro Bro!

[crumblenaut]

I wish there were kits available for your projects.

[Matthiaswandel]

It's called wood. Plus my plans.  Much assembly required :)

[crumblenaut]

Genius!

[NGinuity]

Man, you build this and you can spend a fraction of the cost compared to a shaper and set of custom trim knives.  Bravo.

[startreking2007]

How would you make rosettes?

[sooth15]

Wow, now that's brilliant. I would actually really use something like this since I do all sorts of antique clock repair that often needs specific, hard to duplicate, mouldings.

[Wolsk]

Why can't I be this good? :c

[jasonfcannon]

You are one amazing dude! Wish you were my neighbor!

[LuiNJae]

Dude You rock I wish I had your skills.

[20RoyalSuperKing]

Now I love tools, but I would marry that one!

[MrZephyros]

Good work. Very imaginative and creative.

[deezynar]

Suweet

[mbr72cnc]

Thanks that was ingenious!

[cncnewbie]

Yet another brilliant piece of kit. Amazing work!

[locoken]

I have to take my hat off to you Matthias for something else. You spend your own personal time creating all these wonderful and quite useful tools, machines and mechanisms to share with everyone, and then make plans so detailed and affordable. I'm sure you have plenty of enjoyment in their creation, but I just wanted to thank you for doing what you do. Thanks for sharing your mind with the rest of the world!

[locoken]

When I first viewed your other videos of the creation of your router tilt mechanism I couldn't come up with a reason as to why I needed to build it. My mind has been changed with this video as the possibilities "are" endless as you state in your prior videos. Keep up the great work, Matthias! This is a great piece to your already impressive list of shop tools!

[jvaldeuxo]

Dude, you're kind of a big deal genius.

[polofox]

gracias Matthias, muy buen aporte

[ktekx]

I'm amazed at the level of detail all of your homemade tools can produce. They are either up to par or, for the most part, surpasses stuff you can buy in stores.

[DanOlooney]

You are amazing, roddney mullen of the wood shop, copy right!.. do you know about kilming your own wood? 2 45s and you have some expensive crown molding

[jorgeargemiro]

gracias su idea es fabulosa la pondré en practica un saludo

[lapisredux]

that is clever...do any commercial tables use that tilting idea?

[Boyntonstu]

Harbor Freight tools and genus. Great!

If you had to replicate a piece of crown molding for a repair, you have the perfect tool.

Have you seen my safe upside down radial arm saw?

[HsingG32]

just asking, why when pushing must use that stick? i mean will use hand be so dangerous? or there is other reason?

[Matthiaswandel]

You never know.  You use a seat belt in the car even though you aren't planning on having an accident.

[HsingG32]

@Matthiaswandel ok safety first!!! btw u are too smart :D

[mikedijital]

@Matthiaswandel Safety first, get the job done second!

[Larenzoid]

@Matthiaswandel Good answer, Matt. Real nice router lift, too. I like the tilting idea. You should patent that design.

You amaze me sometimes.

[realcelestialphoenix]

@HsingG32 you havent seen what a router bit does to someone's hand.

[madmijk]

@realcelestialphoenix o_o

[MrZephyros]

@realcelestialphoenix "you havent seen what a router bit does to someone's hand."

That's why he uses those shaped sticks to push the work through the machine.

His has doesn't come anywhere near the cutter.

[realcelestialphoenix]

@MrZephyros I think you've missed the meaning of what I said there.

[MrZephyros]

@realcelestialphoenix So what is the meaning of what you said there? No I haven't seen the mess a router bit makes of someone's hand. I don'r need to, thanks. No one does.

Accidents and injuries like that are preventable. Safety guards, guide sticks and a workman-like approach to the job will prevent such things.

[realcelestialphoenix]

@MrZephyros I know- the whole thing was a knock at Hsing

[MrZephyros]

@realcelestialphoenix "the whole thing was a knock at Hsing"

Ah, I see now.

[tml4873]

@HsingG32 It's habit forming. If you get in the habit of using your hands when the stick isn't strictly necessary, you're more likely to forget to use it when it is necessary.

[MarcVerwicht]

Very good Matthias. Your a fantastic wooworker.

[krzysztofwrab]

bardzo pomocne masz te nagrania , inspirujące. pozdrawiam Polska .

[ThisIsInvisible]

holy fuck you are a genius

[Kenblu24]

@ThisIsInvisible He's the wizard of woodworking. What the fuck do you youi expectr?

[KingRamiel]

Your videos should be mentioned on This New House. It's really a great idea

[Wc4Life100]

I have to admit, when i first saw the video about the tilting lift i had no idea what you would practically use it for. This just answered my question; who knew you could make beautiful (and expensive) mouldings with just a few simple router bits?

[apatientspider]

@Wc4Life100 Very similar to the way craftsmen of old would make them by hand with a set of wooden hollows and rounds molding planes and rebate planes.

[robert0joe]

awesome!



[PuddelUndercover]

If there were a Nobel price in"ingenious things made of plywood", you would have several!

[Freshman000000]

@PuddelUndercover Don't you mean "all of them"?

[PuddelUndercover]

@Freshman000000 One would have to go to the guy that made a plywood submarine ;-)
