Not my project but I thought it may interest some. I found it great :mrgreen:

It's in three parts including the fence build.

Rubbish why not just turn the saw over and use the whole thing including the riving knife and gard.

He has good skills but why bother?

Not everyone can afford a £1000 table saw :wink:

Its worth watching a couple of the other related videos, especially the one about alignment and Mathias's conclusions of the whole thing.

He's clever Steve but I too wonder why he bothered with this one. Have a look at his YT channel. He's made a band saw and a planer/jointer. His best is the pantorouter.....hard to explain, have a look. He's also created some software that allows you to generate your own wooden gears, you then use his real-size print software and print out the drawings, stick them onto your wood and cut out your gears. Clever guy, if a little eccentric.

Mathias's Dad ran a custom woodwork business in Canada.

He tells quite a story about it - see here:

No doubt he is very clever , the cash his Youtube channel must generate would buy him the best of everything , toolwise.

I do watch all his videos and can only dream of getting anywhere near his skill level @ 53 and a complete newbie i doubt i have time..lol

YouTube pay you if you hit a certain amount of views. He made his money through blackberry and retired. Here's another idea of his

Thanks Jimmy. Apologies Steve. I was totally unaware of his achievement(?) and spondulicks. I had wondered how he posted so much and where he found the time!

[rspsteve]

Apologies Steve.

No worries Sam ,

I dont know exactly how they get paid but i knew they did....he has 1000`s of views on all of his vids so i imagine he is doing ok from youtube alone.

Just done some checking. If you get over 1 million views you start to qualify for payment. Matthias has at present 71.8 million views. The initial, and minimum amount they pay is .3 of a cent per view. If you multiply that up, if he's only been paid at the minimum rate, (which I doubt), he's earned over $240,000 !

Even cleverer bloke than I thought — he got the timing spot on there!

There's a great quote on his zero clearance insert video. He's recommending using the cheapest yellow glue, saying it's all the same stuff, and says "would you ever ask someone what soap they use"?
