I'm a little conflicted here. Like the actual construction is simple and would be easy to automate for low skill workers to assemble and cut costs of this down to anything from 50-500 dollars. The design is wonderful, but again in large production could be much much cheaper. As a single man product 1500 isn't bad but for the product you're getting 1500 is about 3x more than I would pay.
The time and materials put into it arent worth $1,500, but I'm of the firm belief that you should like the things you surround yourself with. I believe that your choice in furniture is an expression of your taste and therefore an expression of your personality, much like how you dress or what you drive. I'd put the money towards a nice mattress myself, but to the target demographic, it's worth $1,500.
@@samus4799 To the right target demographic a white painting was worth millions. To the general public its just a white painting worth nothing. Not to shit on this designer, I myself think this is ingenious but I am not rich enough to squander $1500 on a 'bamboo' coffee table. If this design included more modern elements/ minimalist approach or something, I'd give it a shot, perhaps. This exact design isn't worth that to me, IMHO. I'm glad he shared the thought process, logic and construction in the video though.
I was pretty surprised at first that you went with cutting out those curved wooden legs, given the short grain, instead of bent lamination, but when you jumped up and down on that sample outdoors my eyes lit up. That's the functional beauty of the tension system. Well done.
I've bought similar bamboo plywood (plygrass?) for making a cutting board type of thing, and it's sturdy stuff. Like plywood, it has no real grain direction that it favors, and yes, I bought a 4*8 foot sheet, which (1" thick) weighed 88 pounds. Not cheap stuff, not available at all lumber yards.
This video inspires me so much. This guy is probably in high school and he already has a very professional business. His designs are beautiful and very original.

nice work, detailed tutorial, thanks for sharing! partial countersinking of the copper stoppers could be nice as well. also possible to make bigger pockets (so crimp tool can fit) and seal them after tightening flush with pressfit copper discs, leaving them visible on the upper side.
Great design. If you drilled wider holes on the one side of the legs the crimps could be embedded inside the legs and completely covered. Also i would like to see this with white legs and black cables.
If you are achieving something that beautiful and well designed and executed at your age, I can't even imagine were you will be in 20 years. If your work isn't in the top museums in the world some day, then I'll eat my hat.
Amazing building quality, clearly no expenses were sparred in calculating the internal forces and stresses (it's clear that the table is purely at tension as the name implies, no compression or flexing or torsion on any member whatsoever, so an amazingly precise naming), not to mention the extensive optimization, and only the best fastening techniques and practices were used. The jig set-up itself is a work of art as well, wood on wood bearing with no clamps by the jig itself plus clamps outside the jig. Clearly a masterpiece by a master of art and engineering and crafts, worthy every penny.
Tension designs are very old but he does it very well! You can see tension designs everywhere, I guess it was always a matter of thinking out of the box to derive new ideas. Just think!
Quite smart Design! I'm a carpenter and your Idea It's not the first thing that would come to mind when thinking of making a table. Cool. I like it a lot!
Wouldn't it be true that the more weight that is on it, the more stable it is? Since the cables would be pulled more due to bending? What a great design
It probably depends on the strength of the cable themselves. If too much pressure is applied, and I'm sure it would need to be a lot of pressure with how many cables there were, the cables would snap.
I have always been fascinated by wood and seemingly floating objects. You know how to do it beautifully in a perfect way. I wish you continued boundless creativity and success in your business!

You should drill some counter sinks where the crimps are to hide them. You could even cut out little caps to cover the holes and hide the ends of the cables completely
redsoxfan32 But how would you tension the cables if they need to the outside of the hole to crimp? You would end up with 3/8" of slack on every cable as it sinks into your countersunk hole. I sort of like the look of the crimps :P
I thought the same thing, that the copper crimps kinda ruin the clean look of the cables and wood. Also, I could see me crawling around the floor for something that I dropped and getting ripped open when I run my arm up along one of those crimps. Ohhhh, no thanks.
just stumbled across this and was pretty impressed by what you do. Thank you for making this available to learn from, I may have to give my wife something to remind me to work on over the weekends.
I'd be interested in seeing a video showing just how much load bearing capability it has. If you were willing to destroy one of those awesome tables, possibly do a video showing the weight it can withstand before failure?
Are you sure its necessary to wreck a piece? The loads can be calculated using the same formulas engineers use for tension bridges--which as you know can take the pain of weight.
How does this guy not have a silver play button and all those channels with crappy kids content have gold play buttons!!! show some love people and spread the word~~~
Well, if he did it well, and he did, they would all make the same note--which is another way of checking uniform tension, right? If he set it up like a piano he could tune for tension. But to make music, oh yeah you can get all kinds of notes and then the product would be all screwed up, a mess on the floor.
Not the same note. The cords are under the same tension but are of different lengths. Length also determines the frequency. Although...if the tension varies by some cool mathematical formula related to the curvature of the legs and thus the cord lengths joining them, then maybe you could get the same note on all strings.

So, theoretically, once you put the glass on the table, you can go back and cut a bunch of the cables without affecting the structural integrity of the table
@@samo4648 You could probably get by using only 4 short cables in total since they would support each others weight when they are all connected and the glass would act like tension. Connecting them where the bottom and top leg cross over each other. Given how heavy the glass is it might be enough so they wouldn't just fall sideways also. It might also create a lot of stress on the 4 connection points (given how the wood is cut in this case) so you could use steamed and bent wood to get the full strength of the fibers. Instead of the exposed brass clamps (unless you like them) Drill a hole and use a steel wire loop clamp to hide them away. Harder to do would be to use only 1 single wire for the whole piece but still going through all the current holes. Anyway it is a nice build!

Or is there different aproach than sketches? (like a demonstration)? 2) How long does that table take to make? - I mean for you as you are quite experienced. 3) Do you do the same designs to sell them to the public? - I visited your side and there is 'UNAVIABLE' written over every product. I'm interested if you cannot keep up with the demand or whether you made one, sold it, and kept it on the web page to show what you made and sold. 4) How many people are there behind this project? - Is it only you? Are you the designer and builder, while you have 10 people advertising, programming, video editing, recording you...? Thanks for answers / redirect to FAQ :D
I think that what you want to know from the math behind it would be the subject "static an strength of materials". I studies the behavior of an object when you apply a force to it. I am not native at English so i had to look up most of the words in internet so i could be wrong.
a simple way you could us, would be to use a 2d physics engine like algodoo, and simulate your design from the front and the side using springs with a short target distance as cables. Note that some designs can be stable without working in a 2d simulation, for example if you pull down on a square from the side, but pull up from the frpnt, it will move in both simulations in opposite ways that cancel out.
Wonderful creation, thanks for sharing. I wish I had discovered tension based furniture years ago, but now that I have, I'm excited to try my own projects!

3) Do you do the same designs to sell them to the public? - I visited your side and there is 'UNAVIABLE' written over every product. I'm interested if you cannot keep up with the demand or whether you made one, sold it, and kept it on the web page to show what you made and sold.
4) How many people are there behind this project? - Is it only you? Are you the designer and builder, while you have 10 people advertising, programming, video editing, recording you...?
Thanks for answers / redirect to FAQ :D
I think that what you want to know from the math behind it would be the subject "static an strength of materials". I studies the behavior of an object when you apply a force to it.
I am not native at English so i had to look up most of the words in internet so i could be wrong.
i imagine it has quite a bit to do with statics. look up a statics course on MIT open courseware.
a simple way you could us, would be to use a 2d physics engine like algodoo, and simulate your design from the front and the side using springs with a short target distance as cables. Note that some designs can be stable without working in a 2d simulation, for example if you pull down on a square from the side, but pull up from the frpnt, it will move in both simulations in opposite ways that cancel out.
Wonderful creation, thanks for sharing. I wish I had discovered tension based furniture years ago, but now that I have, I'm excited to try my own projects!
Bro you are a freak... I mean that in the best of ways. Great Vid great table. Subbed
I am so impressed with the simplicity and beauty of the finished result, this is EXACTLY what I wanted for my table that I'm making, I didn't realize that until I saw your video. Thanks!
i would add somekind of rubber between the glass and wood to prevent glass sliding off
Edit: also it would prevent scratching on the glass
There are 4 clear rubber pieces on the glass. You can see them when he puts the glass on the wood.
Great video Robby. Not just a fantastic design & build but you explained the process really well. Thank you.
but is it level?
Leveling it would be as simple as planing down the end of each leg until they are all same height.
Will it blend?
just ad screw in bump stops to each leg and you could adjust as needed.
lvl 60 orc shaman i think
Nah dude, lvl 60 pally, if it was shaman than it would have killed him since hes a human.
Well, that's a nice looking design in such a "simple" piece of Furniture... And I love how the material cost seems to be quite low, but the piece itself looks like it cost a LOT.
Excellent work there buddy! Love it!
One side of my 1 year old couch Already broke. Duct tape and an old dictionary to hold the wood underneath works just fine. S
nice application of physical principles! I will be showing these designs to my engineering students
That t-shirt! You beautiful nerd. :')
That’s about the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on the interwebs! Bravo!
I have just realized that he didn't record the intro at the begining
Like writing an essay, it's best to do your into last when it is clearest in your mind.
What a clever project with a beautiful final product. God bless
