Thanks for talking out the trash for me 😂
taking?
@@Riptide__ apparently I can’t type
Even though I've never built a programmable coffee table this video was sooooo relatable in so many different ways! You've done it again Scott!
Thanks Blake!
Oh man, yeah. Finally putting something together that you've tested over and over and it no-longer works... ALWAYS HAPPENS!
I have projects on shelves that I 'parked' pre-Covid because of that moment... one day I'll get over the psycho-trauma enough to pull them out again :p
Most expensive way to spill your drink, when you brush on the button accidentally! Nice build anyway!
I love the idea, my feet are always losing circulation on tables. As a full time software engineer I would have... used a physical latch. Sod that, it looks complicated :)
Haha yeah that was definitely awesome, and a great foray into embedded software / electronics. But it'll be way more reliable if you rip out all that stuff. Wouldn't be nearly as fun though.
Maybe try a pillow or seat cushion on your table? ;)
It's simpler (simple things are easier to fix) and probably will last longer too.
I would have used an array of a few hall effect sensors, That way the mc can see the magnet approach its desired position. I would have also put a camming surface on the latch hole, so it could slide in if it was slightly either side of the desired position.
@@ianphil397 I would have probably replaced the hall sensors with a spring loaded roller connected to a micro switch. Adding a divot on the inside of the frame that the roller slots into would allow for precise positioning without the complexity and position uncertainty of the hall sensors. Installing the micro switch would be a little more complex mechanically but simpler programmatically.
As a former CE/EE - these are the type of projects I enjoy most. It reminds me why with three little girls, work, and upkeep - I don't need to delve into projects that will pull me down a winding rabbit hole. Thank you for doing it for me.
I don't think you give yourself enough credit. Your skills (to me) are really good. I love Pedula and while he is a master, you seem to have a well of potential and skills that other woodworkers lack.
AGREE!!! More entertaining than Pedula too!!
Rabbit holes are dangerous! Please avoid for your own sanity! Cheers!
Rabbit holes are the frontier of human ingenuity. The real threat is that just like rabbits they multiply.
Hey dude, not sure if anyone mentioned but if you swap out your pins/bolts with something tapered, and you correct the mate so it looks like the mating taper, when the actuator pushes out, it will actually locate the top correctly and it will be much more rigid during use.
Holy cow, Scott!! This table - and this video... incredible. The woodworking side of it, the engineering side of it, the cinematographic side of it. The music, the acting. You are at Leonardo da Vinci-level now, man. When people look back in 500 years. This will blow their mind, like it does ours. I hope the Mrs appreciates it too 😄
Thanks for the kind words Pete! But be careful, my head is expanding so much I might float away
@@ScottWalshWoodworking That would make an interesting video too!
TBH, I’d celebrate that amazing "cushion framework“ by outsourcing the cushioning to a professional (probably doing a collaboration, like your YT body has done with the epoxy-jeans-table!), but changing the surface from fabric to leather. Leather has the benefit that it’s forgiving if not treated nice, even better it’s getting "character"! *bg*
body = buddy (efing auto"correction" :o)
@@agn855if you want, you can correct something in a comment by tapping the three dots on the upper right corner of your comment, selecting "edit" and then changing what you've written. Great idea otherwise!
Building "real stuff" is sooooo hard. Just writing software is (as we all know) a devil. Add wires and sensors and motors and you wonder how people ever build anything that works! What a great project. A+
Awesome build! I don't know what you used for motors, but generally for precision movements you want to use a stepper motor to stop at an exact point. while regular motors work fine, tuning them to get to a specific place is a headache.
Or even better a servo motor with an absolute rotational encoder
it is much simpler to just use normal dc motors and end stops.
I just discovered your channel with this video. Thanks for showing what precise and beautiful furniture you can make without the use of so many expensive and specialized tools!
Beautiful design! Love all the curves and detail.
The intersection of wood, electronics and code is SO FREAKING COOL.
Stunning design. Even a manual flip would have been incredible.
The amount of times that you start a sentence with what sounds like a segue to an ad is insane. I was constantly on edge.
Great video!!
This is beautiful Scott. Love it! .. keep up the good work 👏
That's a great design and wonderful job on the finish.
Terrific project Scott, You have a great talent; one of which is perseverance.
This was awesome. Very exciting content and video. Looking for more! Well done.
This was a great video on multiple levels. Cool stuff, good humor, and nice production.
This reminds me so much of the project I've been working on for the last month. I'm feeling your pain, and it's a really nice piece of woodworking!
Fantastic!! Amazing project and video!
Cool glad I’m not the only one that takes twice as long to get something working!
Excellent work, Scott. This was a fun one to watch.
The whole project is amazing, the amount of work is crazy and it ended up looking fantastic 👏
EE/CS major here too. I’ve resisted, with some degree of difficulty, not brining Arduinos or LEDs to my projects. I’m not sure if this video reinforced that notion or gives me reason to cave. What I am sure of, is that I loved every minute of it! I was laughing my ass off when you said “time to reprogram the coffee table” 😅. I loved the overall design as well, so give Martha a pat on the back!
Keep resisting! Don't be me!
Thanks for the kind words 👍
Gorgeous Definition on character. I appreciate it)))
Beautiful table !
Advice: furniture lasts longer than electronics tend to. When I added electronics to MY table, I stapled a package containing extra electronic parts that might have dodgy availability later. This was wise. Water damage killed an ON-Semi led driver that is no longer made. Instead of needing to redesign the circuit for a new driver, I took one of my five spares ($0.98 each), dropped it in, and fixed the problem.
Basically if something is less than a couple bucks, I automatically add the minimum order discount amount. - usually 5 or 10 (when appropriate) so I have spares for my projects.
Absolutely brilliant Scott!!! I really like the carving details. The electronic are very cool and totally get the frustration 😄
Side note on your curved leg... the way to cut with band saw is to keep the off cut... using tape and CA glue reattach the off cut so you can clamp then remove off cut... keep up the great work mate...
It certainly is a great looking piece in spite of the troubles.
Good job buddy. Love the style and storytelling. 🥳
Humour & technique in the same video, thank you.
Really inspired by the design elements you added and the attitude to go for it. The imbedded curves and textured portion are challenges i would enjoy adding to a piece of furniture. As an aside, i personally hope to never have a coffee table or Ottoman that I have to program so your project was a total success in my opinion. Keep up the great work.
Your perspective on and approach to woodworking design and implementation makes me feel validated and even appreciated. The uncompromising and obsessive vision, endless self-recrimination, over-exertion...and even while still criticizing every possible imperfection basking in the satisfaction that it was supremely worthwhile (so long as you needn't turn a profit).
I'm so glad I keep my woodworking and electronics/programming hobbies separate though. 😛
The good news is that the woodworking aspect looks great! I also love that design by pedulla and was glad to see you try your own iteration.
Love it! Don't have room for one myself, but I love the mix of woodworking and engineering.
beautiful design for the table and a grerat video. thanks
Ooh that's so cool. I instantly got what you meant with modern car design, and I think you totally captured that style.
You did a great job with the electric hand planer !
Easily one of the coolest pieces I've seen. And that's before u added the electronics. The design alone was dope but the automated flip tops took it to another level. Very very cool. I'd love to see something collaborative with you and Lincoln St. Wooodworks. You're bothe funny and super creative. It'd be a fun video.
Dude, this was so good.
That's fantastic. Great work Scott
With some videos, when they reveal how they're going to do something I say "Oh of course! That makes perfect sense! That's definitely the best tool for the job!" This channel sometimes makes me say "There's no way that's the best way of doing that..." but yet I can never think of a better way... I think because of the complexity and newness of the project. Very cool!
Beautiful and original thanks
You're the perfect combination of woodworking talent and commentary humour. Also thank you for showing the work that went into housing the electronics - too many woodworking channels skip over that and just say something like "and look, hidden lighting!" in the final reveal.
Thanks! I could've dove way deeper but for the sake of my woodworking audience, no one wants to talk about PWM signals as much as I do 😅
Sounds like second channel material to me, haha! I'm a dev by trade and I'm just getting started with woodworking as a hobby but I'd love to combine the two (with some presently-absent hardware skills) someday to make smart furniture like this. The possibilities really are endless and I find that so exciting!
@@ScottWalshWoodworking I wouldn't say.. I learn so much from watching I never thought possible. Indulge us all please.
This table is amazing, and so is the video! Really great stuff, subscribed
Really enjoyable video. The project development, the voiceover, the video, just really nicely done.
And you reminded me why i quit woodworking: I would always want to quit when i was only halfway through.
But guys like you go the distance, and that's great!
You had the perfect chance to make a cat/coffee yeeting device and you set the speed to at best, cause casual beverage spills. I’m so disappointed there isn’t a troll mode.
Dude! Such a good build! Personally I love the look of a coffee table but want the comfort of an ottoman as well. Love this idea, and the thought process behind it! Hopefully when I get my new shop set up, I’ll get around to making one. Great build Scott!
Cool design.
Amazing work!
Love the look and design! My kids (5 and 2) lost their minds when it started rotating without you touching it haha. So now I may have to learn to wire things up in my projects
The table looks amazing like the idea of it flipping over if you can get it to work good luck
YOUR BACK!!!! I Love it!
The leg swoop combining with the apron swoop looks so good
Awesome video man
Honestly these are amazingly sleek and beautiful, it is amazing that you could fit the flip top mechanism in there while maintaining the aesthetics.
I would really like to see an update that fixes the issues shown at the end, maybe a more powerful motor and better sensing would fix the issues
Great build idea and thanks man for keeping it real with the process! We've all been there!
Oh man can I relate to all your headaches from this project. 😅
These things are great to get to know your own patience, endurance and limits.
Thanks for filming this in all honesty, and great job, even though it's not perfect.
Good job man.
Such a beautiful design. Well done!
Nice work, well done.
This is my life in a nutshell. I'm pretty sure the storytelling that lead the video throughout the build made every other maker question all their life decisions a thousand times, but also gave the confidence we need to continue doing unreasonable projects every single day.
Speechless! Junior
Design is top notch. Love the storytelling and flow of the video
Wow great design and build Scott, very beautiful work! I agree with your opinion on live edge and ‘character’. It makes furniture look dated in a couple of years. On wood is a very underrated channel and I encourage everyone to check out his work.
I like the idea and I could use such a table too. Though I would use a physical contact to set the start and stop points.
That's some pretty funny stuff. I love how you made it relatable and funny even though you had to be pretty frustrated.
I just used Osmo Polyx Oil in Raw and Clear/satin on my solid hickory vanity and I love both in combination. The Polyx in Raw definitely works without adding white that’s visible in the grain (it has white pigment that preserves the natural color while being unseen unlike Rubio’s white cotton), at least for hickory and it truly keeps the natural color probably better than any other I’ve tried. I used Polyx in Raw first and then the second/final coat I used Polyx in clear/satin and it warmed it up without making it orange or yellow. I didn’t want two coats of Polyx in Raw to lighten the hickory too much, I just wanted it to preserve the natural color so I chose the clear as the final coat in order to prevent that. It brought more life to it without adding an orangish tone, I imagine you could add on Raw after the fact to tone down the orange in your white oak, perhaps scuff the surface with an abrasive scotch pad, perhaps lightly sanding 150-180 grit and it should nuke some that orange. I love Osmo Polyx in both Raw and clear, it takes a ton of elbow grease to work it in and spread thinly (most important it must be a thin layer!!!) but it seems like a very durable finish and I found out that fixing water marks or the unseen glue spot on my vanity’s leg after application can easily be sanded or buffed down and the oil be reapplied without any issues blending in. You literally can’t see where I fixed the glue spot! I’m really amazed by the product and prefer the clean and natural look to Rubio Monocoat. The design, the character and joinery are amazing! I love the concept of flipping over the hard top to be able to rest your feet on a cushioned ottoman which really is practical and makes it a worth while coffee table. I wish there was room for storage but I don’t think it’ll work with the flipping feature. I don’t think electronics were needed at all! I like the simplistic way it flips over, manual is fast enough and not as loud and it’s much more appropriate for furniture inside the house than the shop flip tops seen before with the hardware you chose. The only change I’d make is to remove the electronic feature for hands on flipping but other than that it’s gorgeous and sleek
Glad to see the track saw finally found the right address. Lol
A lot of woodworking/making videos like this are quite long and hard to get through, but I wanted to say that the narrative, camera work and editing was really well done and well paced! Really high quality video matches the quality of your build. 👏
Great work Scott! It's a very stylish coffee table design. And as a first rev engineering prototype your electro-mechanical design is something to be proud of.
Very nice projects! I am also glad to see you as a "Power Duo" again! Great build and thank you for the ideas!
great job!
Excellent design and beautiful coffee table Scott! There's nothing wrong with pushing that envelope.... it's worth it!
I'm pushing retirement hard. I have a serious addiction to MCM style and your design inspiration here, postmodern still has a serious MCM vibe. My brain was spinning this into period woods, your oak here, as well as teak, mahogany, walnut, and rosewood.
I hope you have straightened out the electrical flipping issues. Very Cool 😎 feature!!
Kudos Dude 👍!!
Nice cinematography, your lighting and camera work have improved. BTW when I do 3D printed templates I cut the first one out of MDF first so it is sturdier and then I don't have to worry about destroying the master template.
Love this! Weeding out those final bugs is always a pain 😅
hilariously entertaining video!!! And the woodworker side of my brain says great craftmanship as well!
your content is flawless man. Keep it up.
Imagine hearing "Dad, the coffee table needs a software update" what a world 😂
I know the video was already 30 mins long, but I would have loved to have seen more on the electronics and code. What a great end result! It turned out great
That's a lovely piece
Awesome build, your humor had me constantly cracking up. I needed that. So glad i watched this and that i don't have this need in my brain for this ottoman/coffee table. But nonetheless thank for inspiring me and keeping me laughing too
I really like the way you think! Your storytelling skills are beautiful. This is the first video I’ve seen by you and I’m instantly subscribing
Okej, just when I was like 99.99% sure I've seen everything possible on woodworking TH-cam, that the projects and videos all all over again and that I've seen whole TH-cam to use Narex tools from my beloved home country Czech Republic,the algorithm decided to proove that I'm wrong and sent me this man with his motorised master piece 😂 I'm afraid what's coming next,but looking forward for new creations
Very cool idea! I think some sort of locating hardware on both ends of the travel would have helped so you don’t have to program is so perfectly (or a sensor for the exact position). Difficult to get a seamless look that way though
I'm actually a little confused. He mentioned that he was having a hall effect sensors and embedded magnets.. so I would assume that he'd be able to have it positioned more less perfectly..
@@retrohipster1060 He used the hall effect sensor as an index, and it was when the table _approached_ not arrived. His code seems to have assumed the motor to never slip or bog.
You ended up with a beautiful, unique coffee table due to your risk taking and perseverance. You are also very entertaining! Thanks for a great video and a bit more courage to take risks.
Seeing scott stressed i came out of my depression 😊
Hey Scott, I feel for you man! You did great, the coffee table is gorgeus, I love the curved lines and the carved accent you put on the sides. The mechanical bits are tricky to say the least, feel proud for what you have achieved and enjoy it with your partner 😉
Really cool, I love it...!
This is a very cool project!
I subscribed to your channel right away.
Greetings from Austria.
I hate it when I don't get the chaise portion! It's a race to that corner! And look at you closing in on 100k! Well done!
20:58 maybe someone else suggested this but if you save the scrap after cutting it off on the bandsaw you can tape it back on to have a square surface for your clamp. Awesome design and execution btw.
Dayum the effort, skillset and video has earned you a subscribe and like!
Most people go for function over fashion but you're not most people. You'll probably eventually fix all the broken bits anyway. Posting unfinished projects is inspiring for all the procrastinators.
While I'm not sold on the look of the cushy size, as a solid wood coffee table without electronics and cushions it looks amazing! The way the legs curve, and the texture on the ends! *chef's kiss*
I do a lot of sewing and upholstery - you did a great job! I feel your pain on the engineering side of things. All too often I let my perfectionist tendencies prevent me from just getting things done.
Great video! So fun to watch! Thanks!
Hugely ambitious, awesome aesthetic.
