Building the marble pump

[calebharry]

Hey - couldnt you just get a dowell(?) a bit smaller, or is it nessasary for it to be exact?

[0111649116]

I really like Your shirt, and Can I borrow you mind for a second, I wonder how it works? XD

[DwadeForHeat]

spending lots of money

[BananaKiller135]

My dad is a woodworker, you are a woodworker, I think Ill be a woodworker to :)

[pooponparade]

I used this just to show my 4-year-old nephew how his marble machine works. What's funny is that not only was he amazed, but so was I! I'm sure I speak for everyone in saying that we really appreciate all of your videos.

[TechInSight11]

I went to your website to buy the plans for this, but it turns out i have to purchase the plans for the marble machine as well when i don't, so i was wondering if you could make it purchasable on is on. Thanks

[Matthiaswandel]

Sure, I could sell you the marble pump plans for half price, but for doing the custom one-off for you,  please add $10..

[TechInSight11]

@Matthiaswandel ok because i am in the uk how much would that be all together 

[Matthiaswandel]

A few dollars more than buying the whole set of plans.

[rjbluevasquez]

SHIT 7:05 i was on headsets!!!!

[eekeenoink]

Quality camerawork and clear audio made this video a refreshing change from a lot of the videos I've looked at today.

[southparkgeek69]

Are you from Belgium or something like that? you sound so

[iBetaMedia]

WHAT WAS YOU WOODWORK GRADES?

[Matthiaswandel]

This has nothing to do with woodworking classes. You don't learn this sort of stuff in school.

[calebharry]

@iBetaMedia I bet Matthias is a bit shy... but it was probably 248 marks out of a 100 mark job

[PatricioMarino]

what did u study to know how to make this? im going to university next year and i would like to know

[Matthiaswandel]

You learn that sort of stuff from experimenting, not from school.

[ffrillici79]

Great!!!!

[baddestspartan]

this is ingenius! i love your vids and want to try building this. thanks!

[MessMouM1]

Man ! yoiur vid is amazing, can i use the idea of this pump, modify it and use it for another project ?

[1111Davo1]

WITCHCRAFT!

[NJditt]

Are you God?

[aleksey55]

GIVE ME YOUR SKILLS!!!! lol XD

[lucas66568]

go to 6:00 then 12:00 then 18:00 then watch 6 minutes a day

[express375]

Hey Matthias, for the dowel,have a look at: watch?v=vWuP8iaT4tA&list=UUCtR­R9qv0qedri9SwN83v1w&feature=pl­cp

丸棒作り補助金具　Assistive devices for making wooden stick

[sportskweenz]

can i buy a track or a pump on ur web site??

[VERMONTT]

You my friend, are an inspiration :)

[islandboiitsi]

you are a good man

[thelemmful]

marbleous

[WinallYear]

why did i watch this whole video?

[osmanaj2002]

you are a good crafts man

[Gauteamus]

Thanks for a very inspiring video!

[ax5645]

you perfeccionist

[Braeden123698745]

How much were all of your tools?

[turtleman1208]

AAAH so witty at the end there.

[ali709aliali]

you know... i actually tried to make this... 3 times, 1st failed 2nd failed and the third not failed! :D thx allot for the vid

[asleepyvampire]

this is brilliant! but 7:20 omfg my ears!!

[jaged2D]

holy cow dude you are so go at making stuff i tried stuff like what you have done in this vid but i always failed do you have any tips?

[PakFaster]

ya this man is a genius

[frostbite889]

this man is a genius respect him please

[MrSkyrunnerz]

u look like the constipated version of Mr.Bean

[jaged2D]

@MrSkyrunnerz thats not funny at all THUMBS DOWN

[TheBmq525]

wow that is soooooo cool:) B)

[alohachristine]

Wow! You are amazing at explaining things with terrific accuracy. my husband and I and 3 of our children sat here enjoying this very much. We love marbles in our house. Thank you for sharing your talents and intelligence with us.

[TheBurningUnicorns]

Hes losing his marbles 23:50

[951jazzy]

THUMPS UP IF YOU WATCHED THE WHOLE THING WITHOUT SKIPING ANYTHING XD

[PickleMeDill]

hO big is your garage?!

[heliman5434]

How many marbles do you have in your house? is your house littered with them. Next request for a machine is an under water one

[tdsviper]

U have some great equipment sir.

My do-it-yourself dad would be jealous.

[marioelectrico]

hey, matthias, u r a genious

[benerban]

It seems to me that by far the weakest point here is the coathanger wire. Wouldn't the torque produced by the friction of the wood and the weight of the stack of marbles be able to bend this thin wire rather quickly? It's already weakened by your bending it. I imagine replacing it would be a nightmare,

[Matthiaswandel]

Try bending some coathanger wires with your fingers.

[raynelycan]

Thank you for sharing this. I'm reminded of Bob Ross (minus the afro): Straight forward and almost meditative information. You make a person want to run out a buy a drill press.

[logan2364]

where in california are you located?

[Matthiaswandel]

Not everything happens in California.

[logan2364]

@Matthiaswandel so your in canada?

i figured that once i remembered about the igloos pictures.

[Death2662]

@logan2364 you mean Canada, right?

[cybergeek994]

@logan2364 .ca is the Canadian domain. Google it.

[Wi11Pr3ston]

@logan2364 It's funny how you assume it's in California.

[Wi11Pr3ston]

@logan2364 it's funny how you assume he's in California.

[radonas]

@Wi11Pr3ston website ends on .ca ;)

[SubtleAcoustics]

@radonas ...The internet includes more than just the United States. .ca is Canadian domain.

[GrimCr33p3r]

@ 7:30 he says it slides actually quite nicely...

[spinyuk]

that was genuinely fascinating, thankyou :) I'm guessing a well stocked workshop makes everything a little easier too :)

[twanotters]

i want my 24.00 min. back!!! XD

[Matthiaswandel]

then I'll have to erase your memory too!

[llold52246]

@twanotters 23:58 min. :D

[lucas66568]

@twanotters this work is really interesting!

i thumbed down your comment

[TheSeventhGuitar]

What would be really cool, is to CNC machine it in alu. And still make it modular..

I think it's great that you are selling the plans for it.

[TheIronlefty]

Cool Video

[MultiPinkgirl01]

only 14 dollars we could totally afford that and i will tell my mom right away because I usually make marble machines usings cardboard and its no fun at all. Ialways dreamt to have one of those machines and its going to happen i checked the website looked for theprice then it made a big grin on my face i was like OMG only14 dollars???!!!

[Matthiaswandel]

$14 buys you the plans, just to be clear.

[MultiPinkgirl01]

you mean we will build the machine like a square piece of wood then we have to cut it all

[MultiPinkgirl01]

you mean we will build the machine like a square piece of wood then we have to cut it all or all the pieces are already inside the box then we just have to assemble it?

[81supernova]

3:30 made my day.

[amajuniortube]

Seeing all the machinery you use to do this outstanding job, I'm surprised you got all 10 fingers intact! I know a lot of people who lost 2 or 3 fingers in accidents while doing just what you're doing but you seem to take great care and put safety first. Keep up with the good work... it brings fond memories of my childhood, playing with my father...

[Lordhermitcrab]

you are a genius

[DragonHeartGER]

The idea how it works is awesome

[kennyvsspenny24]

All of this so he could say that last line.....My hero

[ashleytaylordriscoll]

all it really is is building bloxs :P

[jqqbeck]

that sound...... the sound of my childhood.......

[AZTaitjcize]

This is awsome!

[davewatcher]

RIP the dear old wire coathanger. Replaced by nasty useless plastic.

[tehwoodchuck2]

I just ran into your vids as a result of, all things, browsing videos of robotic tape libraries. Damn the YouTube grapevine effect! LOL!

I'm planing on getting a CNC milling machine soon because I am less inclined for direct woodworking as you are, but I wanted you to know that I'm planning on trying a few of your projects as some of my starter designs.

Neat stuff, man! I love it!

[BananaKiller135]

thank you so much for making this video ive been trying to make one of these!

[eavnmsy]

es asombroso y admirable felecitaciones

[eveningniteshade]

have you ever cut yourself?

[RazaKator]

You're a genious man! Congratulations and keep it up!

[rmoseley100]

Is there a way to hook the hanger rod or perhaps brass rod to a motor...?

[rmoseley100]

Very Nice.....are you using Pine, Burch or Poplar...or...?

[WorldStove]

Wonderful tutorial.

[epilotdk]

Matthias, many thanks for a very instructional video. I have recently bought your gear software and like it a lot. Just have to get that laser cutter now.

[yosoymemo]

in canada use the metric system? or just in some areas??

[CYP2E1]

@yosoymemo Hurray for the metric system!

[ThatWasKindaQuick]

There's about 500 'Thats what she says' in the video. I guess thats Workshop talk. xD

Love it though :) I wish i had one!!

[Slavezero9]

wow I just watched a 24 minite video on woodworking without realizing it... WHY IS THIS VIDEO SO INTRESTING!

[plumbersteve]

@Slavezero9 ha ha exactly!! I can't get enough of this stuff.

[jdabgohan]

your machines are amazing

[gordijnmaster]

it is a nice marble pump and i look at youre site and want to make my own pump but i don't want to buy it and need to now how long it is.

[Scruffy1034Webkinz]

cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool!!!!!!!

[bluntblaz3r]

i didnt know pliers could cut like that..crazy amount of info in these vids...keep them coming!!!

[ryobie1]

MASTER crafsman.

You knonw some one is goingto pick this up, make it in china out of cheep plastic and get rich off of your marble racer.

I have been into marble racing for years and have a ton of stuff (all plastic) I have a little bit of every brand and style. Ther is nothing out there that stacks on itself like what you have created in your stackable racers. You have made marble LEGO and I want some! My woodworking skill is under par to make them. I wish you well.

[WAHNERHEIDE]

Hello Friend,

When I look at your work with wood, you make me remember my childhood with my old wooden toys, but yours are more than just a toy, it really is a machine for a hobby done, good job that you realize this, a thousand cheers and good luck.

[MQnoob]

Ha, I bet this guy could make a nuclear reactor out of nothing but wood and glue.

[MrKaddan]

@MQnoob and not just any nuclear reactor. He could build a reactor giving up to twice the amount of energy back than what you gave in. Thereby solving the worlds problems about oil... :p

[herbienelly53]

the plane you sudjested at 6:46, you called it a hand plane.. is that a hand plane or a block plane, i cant find a hand plane that small, will a block plane do? i know like nothing about woodwork, so sorry if this question sounds dumb, cause i know it is.

[redu1500]

We can learn too much, watching the way you work

[redu1500]

Lots of things can be learned, watching the way you work.

[andrewd010]

07:28 - Thats what she said...

[samkelly1045]

^.^ Your like a Leonardo Da Vinci of wood.

[solorstars]

couldnt you use a lathe to make the piston(aka dowel)

[Quezako]

Nice tutorial! I really enjoyed watching this, wood work is calming to watch. :)

[TheRedfame]

I've never seen someone so brilliant!!!

[tagi3d]

Awesome. Thanks for making this video... I've been wanting to make a marble pump since i saw your first machine over a year ago.

[stygn]

Ah...! That's just brilliant and simple! I've spent some time wondering about how the mechanics of the pump worked. I can't wait to get my hands on some hardware and start experimenting : )

[MufinMcFlufin]

Hahaha, you remind me of Stu from Rugrats, making things that are so professionally done with average things you find around the house (coat hanger wire piston)

[kode1303]

Is the ability to keep your workshop tidy something you can learn ... or is it a skill you're born with? Each time I tidy my workshop it takes notime before it looks like someone threw a grenade in there :-|

[Matthiaswandel]

I don't know about learning to keep a tidy shop. Tell me when you find out.

I have learned to clean up as far as the camera's sightlines go.

[Kaputznefreble]

@Matthiaswandel

ahuahueauh! WIN!

[oopartuk]

@kode1303 i have the same problem....my studio, bedroom and kitchen all regularly fall victim to these anonymous grenade attacks...its like i tidy for days and then go out, only to find my hard work undone somehow when i return....its like a riddle, wrapped inside of a mystery tied together with quantum sting! :S

[olesto]

awesome, you are one of the most interesting people on youtube :)

[e13373]

very impressive :-)

[deezynar]

Matt,

Have no worries, your marbles are quite secure in your head. Great job!

[clach02]

This is awesome, I never watch 20 min videos, but it held my attention. Nice work!

[pillowcase1]

I loved watching this, I paid attention all the way through the end :)

I'm reminded of watching the new yankee workshop as a kid on PBS.

[nate5489]

That's freakin sweet! Kudos to you my man

[nate5489]

that's freakin sweet! kudos

[awsomecrossing]

Magnificent.

[galatix27]

Well, if you're losing you're marbles, you're just making space for a little bit more ingenuity.

[fireraisr]

that's awesome

[bawz999]

Very nice video :)

You must have marbles all over your workshop now :D

[SKVPC]

Nice job.

[ming0070913]

awesome

[RDJim]

I'm not worthy.... I'm not worthy....

[thisneatsnowman]

hahaha i love the end. thats incredible.

[zeratul575]

if u had wood shop in school

matt would be somewhat of a god able to save them if they had to get blueprints so they could build something

[aerovuelolibre]

exelente gracias por todo lo que enseñas. Sos un maestro!!!! Construí mi Máquina con lo que aprendí de vos.

Gracias

[javasmash]

Awesome

[awesomeSkins]

Someday, when I really need to build a marble pump I will be able to you saved my marbles!!

[mangoismycat]

I see you're using your wooden bandsaw for this video :)

[BernhardHofmann]

I thought you had a lathe? Wouldn't it be much quicker and easier to make that dowel on a lathe?

[21BDP21]

@BernhardHofmann what i thought

[Matthiaswandel]

no.

[MrvnMouse]

@Matthiaswandel I'm guessing that is because you don't have to make exact measurements or set up the lathe, you can just cut away at the piece and adjust the sizing/roundness as you go?

[7pulford]

@Matthiaswandel What is the tool you used to whittle the dowel? And also, would it not have been easier to use a knife to taper the edges? Clever design ^_^

[Matthiaswandel]

read the article for answers to your questions.

[DaniloBar1]

Very very intresting and amazing work!

Good job!

[topcat4eva]

really good

[Demoman42]

Thanks Matthia ^^

[miiror13]

omg your belt sander is scary i hate using the circle snader in our school shop i use tongs when i use it XD are using pine btw?

[woodengamer]

amazing tutorial, Though I think my favorite part was your ending.. good sense of humor! keep it up!

[BeeZee2]

"Losing your marbles..." I love it!

[Matthiaswandel]

To learn more about the plans I'm referring to in the video, click the link in the description.

[TehSmeely]

Couldnt you just use a lathe, or a makeshift lathe, to round the dowl?

[Matthiaswandel]

I could. But that would take more time.

[pumkinvine]

@TehSmeely Actually, there's really no need for the "dowl" to be round, as long as it fit in the hole it could be square, round or any where in between.

[purklefluff]

simple and effective.

thanks =)

[rubybiker]

Realy amazing...god job. :-)

[iTony11]

Incredible work, thanks for sharing that with your viewers!

[BlueBlackDiamond]

From where do you get all that wood for your projects?

And what kind of wood do you use?

[Matthiaswandel]

Mostly cut out of firewood. Good for short ppieces. See my video "cutting lumber from firewood".

[silverstatus]

You must be a genius

[EldMage]

awesome

[pberglin]

Great

What make/model drill press vice is that?

[NadrianATRS]

if they make Little Shop of Horrors on Broadway again, u should totally audition

[der8lub]

genius mind!

[KashaiSakur]

Maybe you should've lowered the volume of the sections where you cut the wood, because I can't hear the voiceover.

[oleedvard]

so fregging awesome!!!

[Cloudwolf40]

another awsome vid

[vemeklis10]

Nice
