Yeah Matthias is fun to watch because he does a lot of hack stuff with plywood that works better than you'd expect. He does a lot of stuff with a lot of confidence, a lot of it dangerous. He's a smart guy for sure, so for what the setups are, the data is interesting. However, the problem is that people extrapolate beyond the setup. It's rare that the way he does something is a _good_ way to do something. He doesn't demonstrate himself to be an expert in much beyond software and hacking stuff together with wood, and I don't think he claims much beyond that.

I’ve never seen him doing anything that I would call dangerous. Not in the sense that he, someone or something is at risk. He make things that can fail, but it will not reault in an injury.

I have no idea how you would arrive at such a conclusion. Perhaps only if you have just watched a small selection of his videos?

  • I’ve seen quite a few. His pantorouter series is very good and I have a lot of respect for doing this sort of thing without CNC. His most recent series building a milling machine is asinine, but fun to watch.
