This table is really well designed. Every piece is clearly labeled, ru-vid.comUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW and the instructions are perfectly displayed, so it's really hard to mess up the assembly. The hardware is likewise clearly labeled. If I had a power driver, assembly time would have been cut in half, but I didn't mind the light workout. My only qualm is that is that the lift top is wobbly in between its open and closed positions, but that's really a minor complaint. For the price, you really can't get much better than this, hence the five-star review. I use it primarily for my wireless mouse and keyboard so that I can use my PC from the couch. Storage is nice. I'm totally happy with this purchase.
This is amazing! I'm just a theoretical woodworker at this point, but if I'm ever getting my own shop, I'm definitely trying this. Very inspirational! Thank you for building and sharing this!
Thank you for this table and the plans, I am just starting to do a shop which I have dreamed of for 50 years. I now have several nice machines and am excited to make some products that I can sell as a way to supplement my income with retirement and enjoy what I have always wanted to do. It is fun to watch what you do.
Thank you for this video ! I am gonna try this . Going with some poplar that i had in the shop to see if i can figure it out. Got everything milled today. Will work on the bridal joints tomorrow. If i can get it figured out and it comes out in good shape i will get some walnut and do it again with that. I also thank you for your new deal with us handicapped woodworkers. I have an eye disease called Retinitus Pigmentosa. It effects periferal vision at first . Then slowly progresses to total blindness. I am still blessed with enough sight to do most of what i want to do. Still have a full time job and work in my shop. I just can not drive. Anyway thank you very much for your caring and all of your teaching here on line !
The real shenanigans is the clamping hardware you have for this. I especially loved the Swiss Cheese and the 3D-printed "squares" during the earlier part of the gluing step. The best tools are the ones you make your own!
When I get my home shop set up. I will have to give this a try. I may like a challenge, I really hope I'm up for it. The only thing that compares is when my oldest brother drew a picture of stairs going in every direction. Then he added people, a basketball, planters, a cat being chased by a dog and so many other details. The spacial rendering was so distinct. It was a work to study. I could see your cube interior being filled with intersecting lines like his staircase. You really stirred up a memory. I was 10, so he must have been 15-16, over 45 years ago.
I've had this plan for about a year (?) and I've been afraid to screw it up. However, I've gained skills since then and now I'm ready. Going to try a lamp instead of a table. The inserts are going to be image transfer onto glass. It will take a while, of course. I wish there was a way to post the good result (doing a test cube first) on here. Can't use a router, so I'm going to try the tenon jig I have available as well as a dado stack. We'll see. Wish me luck!
All of the above. Or maybe the curriculum states "hand cut joints." Or maybe he wants you to earn it and really understand joinery, but more likely, he doesn't have enough machines or time to fill out all those incident reporting forms in a classroom full of excitable young folks on routers. I had an 18 year old kid plug in a trim router without checking the power switch last year. He then tried to catch it as it jumped out of his hand. Thankfully, the router good smiled upon him, and he got away with a warning by way of a small, nonessential chunk plucked cleanly from his hand. Then, the blood came... And the damned incident report...
@@jasondoust4935 I understand that part of working with power tools with my lathe I tern the power off at the wall when changing the speed just to be safe than sorry as only paid £27 for it so not sure if it all works as it should has been tested and all seems good
I think that that plexiglass report used in one corner you should use in all corners give me the whole thing more support and stability love the build keep inspiring
Man, what a cool project! I never have seen anything like this one. I am going to take a look at the cut list and see if this is something that I might build. Love your channel!
This is the old Silicon Graphics logo from the early 90s. Silicon Graphics were a manufacturer of high-end graphics workstations and servers ($20 and up for a desktop computer, $100k+ for their servers) and their logo was this cube in chrome. I love it.
Caramba! Parabéns, teu trabalho é fora de serie, engenhoso e fácil. Obrigado por compartilhar, que continues tendo estas ideias maravilhosas, saúde e sucesso. Like e inscrição rsrs
Beautiful project. I'm impressed you managed to do without a support for the top. Have you considered how you could rotate the joints to give a little more strength to the top?
"It's the hardest thing I've ever built", says master woodworker, Jon Katz-Moses. Ok, does any other newbie woodworker think THAT is a frightening thought? Haha, beautiful work, as always, Master Jon!
Nice project! I understand why it would work better in steel. I'm wondering how it would look if the base and top squares were the same outer dimension as the square of the legs in plan view (so that the whole thing actually looked like a cube) You could probably then put fine steel pins in the gaps between the base and top squares to invisibly connect tthem to the legs, which would also make the whole thing much stronger.
Jonathan, @ 8:24 you use 2 plywood corner clamp helpers. Any idea where a plan or video for this quick build could be located? I thought you spoke about them, but I just can't re-locate where you mentioned them at???... Thanks for any info. Wonderful build.
@Johnathon Katz-Moses What would have been really neat, is if you would have pulled in the sides so that they were right above the base then instead of using the acrylic block you could have embedded some half-inch or three-quarter inch Neodymium magnets into the wood and covered them with the stain so they were invisible and they would have supported the structure by holding it apart… It was a function like a cantilever against the other leg and you would be surprised how powerful a magnet of that size can be if you put one or two on each side of the corner.
This is a very old symbol in Indian temples. It bares the nummers 12 and 6 in its structure which make 18 and so the number 9, the end of the cycle ready to start again thus infinite. The same principal can be found in Japanese mythology about Amaterasu the sun Godess holding a reversed mirror in her hand to the reflect the opposite image, the opponent. Therefor it s called a negative mirror-image or reflection. This infinite cube is a representation of this principal.
I was thinking, (which is a bit of a worry !), I might use half inch by one and a half cheapest pine and off set the middle one one and a half to create the joints. Then when I've stuffed up a couple I can use the better, ie more expensive, wood.
