You see it as a topper problem, I see it as a toppertunity

I love the episodes where you get to ask each other "what would look good for this kind of piece?" 1) It gets a bunch of people involved 2) You always bring up the woodworking/engineering process design aspects of it 3) Hopefully it means nothing else in the shop is experiencing a disaster, otherwise the video would be about that :P

@pascastro9928 Месяц назад

As a junior architect, I have found that instead of working around the obstacle, making it a feature of design and incorporating it into the design works way better (regarding the topper situation). You could keep the current configuration of toppers and make some cool designs around the seams and it´ll look amazing.

@monkeychicken27 Месяц назад

Like at each split, a shield on one side and a sword on the other. The shield could even be a logo shield, however, that might be a bit much since the logo is classically on the runner.

@LordDragon1965 Месяц назад

Simplest solution to the toppertunity: Make the toppers an Odd number of pieces (either 3 or 5). This puts all the vertices inside a panel. And it puts the center in a single panel.

@NayaGreenlee Месяц назад

I think moving the seams of the toppers so they themselves are weird but the pattern can be uninterrupted perfection fits the signature series vibe very well. And then you can make a cool signature topper block to house the new weird shaped toppers

@TrojanManSCP Месяц назад

Tables in use often have a centerpiece (flower vase, etc). A fan design helps whatever you put on it *pop*. You could also get your fabric shop involved and put together a magnetic runner.

@TRKidcity Месяц назад

A giant Wyrmwood shield in the middle of the table! You can just mirror it on the center seam. (Easy for me to say)

@ryanshumate3273 Месяц назад

Don't mirror, cross the grain! Make it HUGE

@juangutierrez7277 Месяц назад

Taste is suggestive. I personally would hate a giant brand in anywhere on anything I own. Specially on a play/eating surface that is meant to be clean and uncluttered before putting stuff on it.

@dbradical Месяц назад

Was thinking the same thing a perfect place for a minimal version of the shield, like in silver outline. For fully custom options some people might want to inlay a family crest. The hex table just screams for a large design in the center

@TehCapsE Месяц назад

Okay guys, let me cook. Remember those awesome hex vaults with the bug and bumblebee inlays? Do that but bigger and put it right in the middle! "But there is a seam!" I hear you say. Make the topper five parts instead of four! Cut a semi-circle out of each of the big topper parts so you have a hole in the center of the table and slab your awesome wood art piece right in there! You could even do a hex in hex. Doesn't have to be a circle. Obviously nobody could pay for a table like this but who knows maybe Bill Gates suddenly start getting into table top gaming...

@matt-lang Месяц назад

Yes! A marquetry topper would look INCREDIBLE! That would be the absolute coolest table out there.

@nSnowCrow Месяц назад

How would a Hex in the middle hold itself in the air? If you cut the toppers they will sag towards the play area.

@TehCapsE Месяц назад

@@nSnowCrow well it's not sagging now so removing a bit should not make a difference. Also you could Inlay the center piece instead of make an actual hole... You have to want this man.

@volatilesky Месяц назад

Matt, I don't think you understand how importantly critical the Pentel p209 is. Engineers, draftsmen, architect, designers, the p200 series from Pentel is like an industry standard for 'relaible' pencils.

@erich7592 Месяц назад

.09 lead? Never seen it before! Just looked it up, wow, there are a lot more lead sizes than .05 and .07! And yes, we are interested in the pencil.

@GarettHarnish Месяц назад

Personally, I prefer the Pentel GraphGear 1000. The metal body and the retractable head is just handy. It also comes in 0.9mm (yellow).

@BrendanBlatz Месяц назад

@@GarettHarnishthat's been my carpenter pencil for a couple years now. The 0.9mm lead is a great size.

@MMKMoore1 Месяц назад

For the topper, I would suggest using the seam instead of trying to pretend it's not there. Have the larger motifs on the solid corners, and a variation where you have two smaller ones on either side of the corner seam. The smaller ones are each self contained, but together they read as related to the larger one. It's similar to your pokeball design, but more triangular.

@monkeychicken27 Месяц назад

I think the split doesn’t even have to match the others in design. I think it should be a wyrmwood logo shield on one side of the seam, and a sword on the other. The other 4 corners of the hex just “generic.” And leave the center alone.

@jtporiginals Месяц назад

Use a split corner design. Each shape is symmetrical across the corner with a gap in the middle which would work for the seams at the two corners. Depending on the proportionsof the design, you can either get 1: a nice highlight at each corner, 2: a longer shape will give more of a border feel around the table, or 3: a taller shape which will give you more of a radial feel toward the center.

@marcdunlap7414 Месяц назад

Yup❤

@MasterQuatre Месяц назад

Hex table top design idea: Go with the corner design idea, but make the design a vertical reflection of itself. That was each of the designs would match, even across the broken up toppers.

@khrister Месяц назад

You could do the "design around the seam" in each corner, two halves that don't reach the line to the center. Just imagine there are seems from each corner to the middle and design around them.

@diewollsocke2674 Месяц назад

I love these episodes. It's really interesting to see the process. I also like Doug's approach of building mock ups (take ply wood paint it dark, use construction paper etc). Computer models often mislead as you often look at it from angles you don't actually see IRL

Good pencil. I quite like the Zebra M301 0.7mm with 2B leads. Might treat myself to something fancy one day, like an IJ Instruments or something.

@Jaszi007 Месяц назад

Guys it’s wild no one thought to have a big version of the Wyrmwood logo in the middle since that would default work in the hexagon. Also my idea for the hexagon table is to put something on the 4 corners that aren’t the 2 at the seem in the middle or put the same design on EVERY corner but put a gap in it so that the gap from the seem doesn’t look that out of place.

@CordellWoodworks Месяц назад

"If you people are interested" "I don't think they are" You'd be surprised the things that other craftsman are interested in, lol. I prefer the Pentel Graphgear myself.

@FrozenThai Месяц назад

You can design in the corner, just make it mirrored split in two. On another note, I wonder if it's possible to skive a burl in a spiral to get a long strip of it.

@Mutius82 Месяц назад

In-set a big shield/design into the middle of the topper that is symmetrical and can be removed. Or maybe it could be round-shaped and also act as a lazy Susan that sits into the topper 1/4 of an inch. Form meets function baby!

@Starsong28 Месяц назад

Lean in to the center split by putting a large compass rose in the middle - the kind where the cardinal directions have a central line in the spike and use the burl along with another wood to shade it! Outline it in silver.

@bedspread02 Месяц назад

Make the topper from five pieces. The end pieces stay the same, just narrower. If each piece is ten inches wide right now, make them eight inches wide so that the center piece covers the longest distance on the table but is wide enough that the disign for the corners can both be put onto the one center piece and the design can be put on the two end pieces with the other two pieces being without the design feature.

@lyngelinnethartmann2005 Месяц назад

Put a hex design on the toppers. Based on what the DM screen actually looks like - with the raised middle and burl+silver. You could do the hex on just the two middle toppers so you only have to cross the middle seam instead of all 3.

@tobiasofverberg2189 22 дня назад

when you started to draw in the centre of the toppers all i could see was an Imperial Cog. a one off Star Wars Empire themed hex table would look amazing.

@ghomerhust Месяц назад

you can still do the corner idea on the toppers, but split the design in half so that the split corners work, and use that same split design for the regular corners too.

@etherdark Месяц назад

the leg burl inlay length should be rule of 3rds but with an equidistant border and silver trim around to frame it, the inlay should also have a slight taper to an edged point and at the top of the inlay it should be a wide angle to a point. that way the inlay is also a hex shape

@hpcamper Месяц назад

I would almost just suggest a solid color topper, option of either wenge or oak, and the reverse color shown on the chamfer. The apron, interior, and legs already give those pops

@surlycanadian Месяц назад

3:38 Greene & Greene style cloudlifts would be an awesome and elegant corner detail to the banding

@Andre_the_Lion Месяц назад

Is there a reason you couldn't just come up with a corner design that incorporates a split/gap in the center. Ends would have the full design on two corners, the middles would have only the half design on two corners where they meet up. Just make room for the seam in the design. It's the same idea proposed for some of the center/border designs, but it seems like you never came back to the corners after noting that two of the corners have seams.

@joshricks1273 Месяц назад

The best way to fix the topper block problem is to have every panel say Pooz on it individually. That way you don't have to worry about them lining up with eachother.

@matt-lang Месяц назад

I would fixture all the toppers together and route out the lines all at once across all the boards. Then it’ll line up perfectly and you could do a lot of cool details that cross the gaps. Then just number each topper on the bottom so the customer knows which order to put them in.

@SerynZatos Месяц назад

An easy solution for a signature series topper is triangles, if you want the corners then squares, just break it up into 6 even symmetrical pieces

@TheNerdofInfo Месяц назад

I feel like the toppers should do what the GM screen does. Have an oak core and wenge veneer, so you get a beautiful dark table top and the chamfer gives a strip or white around the edges. A pattern in the middle sounds too busy

@CalebS92 Месяц назад

I'd love to have the topper just have a nice fancy big wyrmwood logo in the center.

@aithelibrarian Месяц назад

you should inlay a compass rose design in the middle. or the wider uninterrupted border would imo look cool.

@pink_nicola Месяц назад

I think having a design over the corners is a lot less problematic than in the middle of the sides, because at least the middle of the corner aligns with the seam, unlike the edge seams.

@dewcart Месяц назад

Banding around the aprons, large sheild design in center two toppers with center seam removed as per design.

you'd have to change it to a 3 piece topper for summitry of corners and flats. The challenge is then making your box/cube for 3 pieces and the weight of a 3 top might be a bit much?

If y'all are avoiding a 3x120 degree rhomboid toppers, I'm sure a pizza box doll table can be fancied up to keep the center from collapsing!

@nekokuza Месяц назад

Wicked idea from a non-woodworker. Two different types of toppers (tops and bottoms), actually, scratch that, one type of a topper, with left side(for example) having bottom connection and right side having top connection, six triangular shaped toppers. So they would fan out from the middle. There is a problem, that the lever would be too long, and you want to put something in the middle. I'm not smart enough to figure out a solution right now, put it's possible to work around that, imo. ._.

@kevinvaldez5163 Месяц назад

A while back you mentioned possibly making a "hex" table that was longer. Essentially an MTG but with hex end caps instead of a basic rectangle. Is this still in the works? Due to the shape of our dining room the normal MGT doesn't really fit, and the basic Hex table only seats 6 (we have 7 for D&D, so we need to seat the standard 8 dining table size). I can't imagine there are not tons of other people in my situation, where a slightly longer hex that allowed 2 to sit on the long sides, and 1 each on the short sides, would fit much more ideally in their house.
