Thanks for watching!

Dude I love this Wesley 👍
I have a quick question. I have a similar build, just a small V6. I don't have the ability to 3D print the components to have it turn over. Would you maybe be willing to make those components similar to what you made here? I'm more than willing to pay you for them. If you don't have the time or am uninterested in it. No biggie, I won't be mad at you. For whatever that's worth.
I'm in no rush for this. I have some other projects that are more pressing atm. Just figured I'd ask.
But outstanding work Sir!! Through the time I've been watching your channel. I've been very impressed with the items you've designed and made. Some of it definitely over my head for sure.
how could i get or make the rotating assembly
Wow bidding already up to $810! Well worth it. Hope it goes to at least $2K. Super cool piece.
Thanks! I’m just happy people like it!
@@WesleyKagan Woo up to $1,675!
I really hope these bids actually are from people that want to go through with it
@@MrTurbo_ yeah, would be such a damn shame if the winning bid jus didn’t end up buying it
2.5k now :)
I cant be the only person who watches Wesleys videos and thinks the videos will end with "I am the WarOwl, and I still, have no closer"
If you know.. you know
Is he the csgo warowl guy?
@@adamirfann6788 he’s not, but he reminds me of him quite a bit. Apparently at least 61 other people agree so far. Haha.
didn't expect this comment haha
Love your work dude! This came out well. Can’t wait to run our formula cars together in the future.
Can't wait! Looking forward to it!
ok wow this came out beautifully! Now up to $2550!
Look folks, if this man becomes a savant at wood working in addition to his engineering, math, programming, mechanical, and fabrication skills, I AM QUITTING IT ALL….I mean I work and work to have skills and this dude pops them in his brain like Flintstone vitamins…..WES you are a genius man.
Thanks man! I enjoy woodworking but just in small bursts, not all the time. So I think we’re a long way from be being an expert woodworker
You're looking mighty trim lately. Good work!
1900 views after 1 hour and bid is already over $800. Not bad!!!
I bid it up to $500, would love to pay more, but that's my current budget. I hope it goes for big bucks, its a amazing piece of furniture. Keep up the great content
You had me at moving Pistons! Had to see how you did that
Nice table. Looks awesome. To whoever buys it off you, a quick vapour blast for the block would have the thing looking shiny and new again.and maybe a couple of leds inside somewhere to make it glow at night
I gave it a good polish, but something about the brushed aluminum looks dirty in the darker lighting. Might look into getting a more consistent brushed finish between now and then!
@@WesleyKagan it looks damn fine as is and doesnt need anything else. For me i just prefer a fresh vapour blasted look for motor bits. Or use some strong aluminium brightener to make it shine. Im currently in the process of building a 1uz and cleaning everything at the moment.
Man an 8 quarter slab of white oak probably cost a fortune in Arizona. Especially if it was graded. When you talk about the calming effect of nature and working with wood, I don't think you could have found a more appropriate soundtrack than Paul Simon. Even at his most energetic,his voice has always soothed me. My parents very much loved Simon and Garfunkel and I remember discovering their records and finding out the songs that I had heard as a very little one. Anyways. Very nice work, sir.
Gotta love these modern "lightweight" engines. I had a friend who had a Jaguar V12 short block sitting in his garage because, well, why not? "Hey, while you're here can you help me move this thing?" Turned out the answer was "No!", the two of us were unable to lift it off the wood blocks, and he didn't have an engine hoist. Makes me wonder, how the hell did he get it in there?
The Jag v12 is absurdly heavy. BBC heavy. I couldn't believe it when bought a non-running XJS and started learning about that engine.
@@chuckp8705 something on the order of 650 lbs 😯 it still baffles me how it's that heavy with an aluminum block. The 4-valve M-B V12 is also similar weight, this 3-valve V12 was designed with lighter weight as a target and is thus closer to 500 lbs. From what I've gathered via the internet, anyway. The BMW M70 V12 was marginally lighter than the Jag and M-B 4-valve at around 600 lbs.
How weird is it that this is only the second time I've seen an engine design like that (bottom end caps separate as one main girdle) And it's in the same week! I mean yeah TH-cam algorithm since such but they're so distinctly different videos. The only relation is car stuff.
This is awesome. Would look cool with little LEDs tucked in the cylinders to simulate the firing order 😃
I was thinking about using something to aim down from under the wood, but wasn’t sure. I wanted it to fit with the oak!
Best table I´ve ever seen ! Great work Wesley !
Glad you like it!
Very different, but awesome as always.
I know you can't edit your auction title now that you've received bits, but by far the coolest feature of the table is that it moves, so I would have put MOVING in the title. Next time, eh? Especially when this table sells for $5700 or something ridiculous
I’m a woodworker/ carpenter, computer nerd, and very amateur gear head… one idea I’ve always had is building a computer out of a short block (or at least a 3d printed short block). Have the radiator and fans mounted as a “head”, and a “false” turbo that would actually be an inlet for cooling rather than exhaust.
Always stoked to catch your vids
That's definitely cooler than the table in Top Gear, it moves!😂 Looks fantastic for car enthusiast.
I have to agree with you when it comes to oak and woodwork in general.
I made a unique but very simple tobacco pipe for myself and I swear making it was more relaxing than smoking.
Even though I don't have a drill bit larger than 1/2" and needed a cylindrical hole about 3/4" wide.
Ended up improvising with a rotary tool and burning through the oak was better than any incense I've ever smelled.
I hope all the proceeds from this table go towards building more v12 racecars 😂 lol. Love your work mate
That was a neat build and good luck with the auction!
Thanks!
I don't know how I missed this one. It's funny but I agree re: wood being calming and so forth. Working with (And having décor, etc.) of items that were living things, seems so much more peaceful than the cold, sharp metal furniture that seems to be the rage right now. But I say it's funny because 90% of the time we're bathing in grease, oil, brake cleaner and our loofa is the milling machine and lathe chips.
Loved the video! Thank you. The oceans 11 style music was amazing and fresh
how much power does your coffee table make? yes.
I should see what horsepower it actually makes!
Wow went for $2500! Grats on the sale and grats to whomever won it!
I’m amazed at your talent do you just wake up in the morning and think I’m going to build a v12 automatised coffee table and then just do it? The legs look just like WSB swing arms from a few years ago as well. Keep the videos coming.
Ok, what the heck dude? You are insane! You really deserve more attention from the online car community.
Thanks! I just like building stuff!
@@WesleyKagan yeah man same
Congratulations on an excellent project and sale! Came out great 🎉
Best use for an m137 I've seen
Man you make amazing videos. Videos like yours make me regret not choosing engineering school
Always loved this concept even before the Top Gear table in the Star in a Reaonably Priced Car segments. I'd love to own this and I'll probably make a bid but I know I won't be able to afford the stratospheric price this should command. This creation belongs in a museum. Someday I'll make an airplane-shaped windsock that rotates on a base made from an old radial engine core.
3V V12! Very cool. How well can you hear the electric motor, any noticeable metal-on-metal noises from the pistons?
*Wow! You have inspired me to put a Saturn V F-1 engine in my bathroom to use as a shower stall. Thanks!*
You have the life I wish I had.
Keep up the good work
I love this channel.
always great seeing your next project. Keep it up sir!
Great design. I would order it with steel supports instead of wood.
I don't have a spot for it either, but I'll be watching the auction. Plus I'm local so I can pick it up.
just found your channel, great work! I can foresee this video racking up the views over time.
Great product!!! Would buy again.
Brilliant, love it!
Love it...looks wonderful
Thank you!
Really cool looking. I wish I could get it, but I know that someone else will probably get a better use out of it.
Up to $1600! Good luck with the sale!
Thats really cool.
that coffe table is worth more than our family car 😭
When I saw the glasses on the table at the end, I was hoping you'd build a tower of them and set the motor at full speed, like the old Lexus advert.
Very nice build!!
One of those times I wish I had unlimited spare money... this would definitely be in my house. I love this idea. Did you use any type of lube in the cylinder bores?
awesome concept and execution
Thank you!
Cool project.
Beautiful
Disappointed you didn't go more into the technical aspect. Would have liked to see you putting the Pistons in, probably without Rings to make easier to rotate. You didn't even mention this. What about lubrication? It's not a running engine wondering if you gave it any thought? Teflon bearings? Perhaps dry graphite lubrication? Would have liked to hear it running. curious how much noise it makes. Maybe not a lot but it's in a living room. Wonder if it's something you wouldn't mind keeping running like a fish tank pump. Would have been nice to see more of it running as opposed to only 10 seconds. Oh well still nice work!
The 3D Printed Parts at around 2:40 look stellar! What machine / filament did you used to make them?
I think he used a 3D printer and some sort of plastic based filament
@@TakeNoShift No shit, but what filament exactly? It looks kinda like nylon to me
@@superbarnie I think it's the kind that gets heated and extruded in patterns layer by layer
@@superbarnie Ender 3 : PLA+ ...
and if he didn't use that, YOU can-- and it will work.
@@superbarnie he uses an antiquated Prusa MK3
Would it be feasible to plug certain areas and use a water pump to pump glow in the dark PC cooling liquid through the oil/coolant passages? Probably messy and a lot of work but it would be cool to see the way fluids get around. Most likely not coffee table quality but more of a school set up I guess.
love it
Sweet table and nice watch. May I ask what it is?
Have you taken any of your machines to the podium club yet? If you do I'd love to see it!
For a second I thought the v12 racecar engine blew up and it turned into a coffee machine. Thank God
awesome as always :)
I almost shit my pants when I saw the latest bid on the auction
Topping Top Gear? Sweet!
Any thoughts on addressing the bearings/rings not getting oil?
obviously rpm and environment indoors is pretty tame compared to driving with explosions, but open exposure to dust, humidity, and dry bearings will still cause some issues eventually. Maybe the "running life" before those things would cause any significant frictional drags is in the 10s of hours as is? Imho plenty. Mainly just curious if you plugged the oiling holes so bearings would retain some 'fingered' oil when assembling. I'm thinking of doing something similar 🏍 for a client.
You're the man! Thanks!!
The Crank is on standard roller bearings, so that should be okay- pistons are now on the crank and I don’t really have a way to solve that outside of printing a connecting rod- I’ve had it running for a few days with no issues, but if it becomes a problem I’ll print some connecting rods with roller bearings!
@@WesleyKagan Awesome, glad to hear and makes sense. thanks for the reply!
Okey. Now I not only have a necessity but also a "very subtle decoration for the living room" girlfriend to convince. If you do anything similar, I saw a guy that as a cherry on top, ordered some stickers that sort of mimic "acid" look and signed the corner of the glass with the name of the engine, a pagani logo, etc.
How much weight have you lost? Crazy change in just a few videos!
What factors determined the reduction ratio ?
Did you consider a higher torque electric drive to produce a higher rpm product?
If not…why?
Very Zen.
Thanks!
Nice video..
Sweet man. If you use a rug, it'll define the living area and hide the cord. (;
We kept finding we needed a folding table. This is so easy to store. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxStL0QRChBju4aQlnTrRgBZvafFog0KU3 Opening and closing is easy as well. It has a great handle for carrying around the house. Its pretty lightweight and slides around easy. We bought it for our daughter’s first sleepover. Breakfast was a blur - but 12 7-8 year olds fit at the table with room to spare. We used it at thanksgiving and 6 adults fit comfortably on each side plus 2 on either end for a total of 8. Super easy to clean up afterwards as well.
Strange this is... within the past week TH-cam stuffed a video for one of these in my view list.... I wonder, maybe AI had a premonition one of my subscribed channels was bringing out a video for a build... Oh well... Nicely done 🙂but did you cross-hatch those cylinders for those new rings? 🙂
Now i know what to do with the 2.8 i just riped out of my s10
Kind of a shame to tear apart a good engine to do this but looks great, glad its already at 2.5k :)
Not sure why, but I rather enjoy the camera repositioning. Makes me feel along for the ride more than normal I guess.
Came out great. I am a huge fan of the woodwork. What fancy timepiece are you wearing?
Pretty sure it's a Rolex. He likes it as a tool watch and I'd have to agree, that is what it's designed to be, not just a show off item for posing.
Very cool!
Also is that a set of uranium glass cups on it at the end?
Looks cool. Did You sell it by now? What was the highest bid?
2550
What is the final gear reduction ratio?
1:500 ?
So I've been planning something like this with an inline 6 from a bmw I'm curious what engine you used?
Pagani uses the Mercedes M120 engine. Any of the Mercedes V12 engines will get you where you want while sounding better than most other engines ever made.
Art meets Science
Nobody will ever put an electric car motor under a coffee table
Did you 3d print the electric motor mount and gears?
I would love an engine block table but I don’t have an engine or any of the tools necessary to do the wood working
Hey Wesley, I just discovered your channel. I would love to see your content on Odysee as well!
I bid 800 and got out bid in 1/2 hour!
Hey, do you have the files for the stuff that you 3D printed? I’m trying to make one of my own. Thanks!
Same
Damn budd u legit lol
After a long week of midterms, beating myself up for not doing well enough, convincing myself that I did ok, and finally allowing myself to be upset that I got low 90’s when I should be high 90’s, it’s nice seeing a quality video that I can use to unwind
Cool people use a V8, awesome people use a V10, amazing people use a V12.
What kind of people appreciate the 1930 Cadillac? 😉
Thumper life over here. One brain cell, but it fires hard. 🤪
@@csn583 lol
Cool desk. Did you lose heap of weight?
Cool but all I could think about was a cats tail or paw getting wedged in the crank
Yes this is for households with fish or human babies only.
no miata update video?
But does the slowly turning crank have enough torque to crush a hotdog? (or a finger)
I think a plastic gear might snap if you tried to hold down a piston.
how could i get or make the rotating assembly
Is that a Pepsi Rolex??
Can you make a cut-away harley motor coffee table if I send you a motor?
heaviest table 😂
I wouldve tried to put LEDs in each cylinder that light up orange when the cylinder would fire, would be... fire?
I thought about that, but didn’t want to have the bright lights flashing, and kinda hard to rig up to make it look right. Plus the deck height is really short on these, so not a ton of room!
@@WesleyKagan yeah thats what i thought, LED lights are dimmable though and it could be more of a pulse, great build anyway! also, how do you keep the parts lubricated? is it just metal on metal?
plss mas videos del V12 :(
