- Having previously made two shorter product videos for the client this was a different kind of project. The brief was to document the work and craftsmanship that goes into making one of these tables. They are expensive pieces of furniture so one of the key purposes of the film is to make clear to potential customers why they are the price they are. In the film David Fletcher talks about the evolution of the design and explains how the tables are manufactured and assembled.

Hands down the coolest piece of furniture I have ever seen. I wish I could come up with ideas this unique (and be able to build them). That table takes the cake as far as I'm concerned.
and if you set a cake in the middle, then close it, it will quite literally take the cake
It's wonderful to see real craftsmanship alive these days. It's also wonderful to see the passion that Mr. Fletcher has for the table.
You know what I meant ;)
Didn't even know such a thing existed. Now that I know, I must admit, I love the whole mechanism and design. Very cool indeed.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Now we need to do stuff like this with more than just tables. We must expand. Let's make a transformable airship next and transformable cities. Who's with me?
This is brilliant! The designer is very humble which is admirable considering the quality and skill it takes to design such a piece must be rare. The detail is mind blowing. Outstanding craftsmanship.
Who would thumbs down this video? This is crazy amazing!
Probably someone annoyed at the fact that they cannot build it themselves.
Must have been Cher.

When shaking with adrenaline from said crazy amazing video, it is easily done to press the thumbs done while trying in actual fact to hit the thumbs up... and then forgetting you pressed either of these as the adrenaline consumes you and you pass out... thus forgetting you thumbed it down in the 1st place.. these are of course all accidental down votes..
Probably because the video never said how much the table costs and so thumb-downers missed out on the shocking experience lol
Wow... Awesome! Well done Mr. Fletcher.
If my fortunes ever change I am putting one of these in my dining room.
Looks like the mechanics inside are good and solid. I imagine hat if I had one of these, I'd end up showing how it works to everyone who came over. It's a beautiful table as it is, but to me the mechanicals of it, the way it spins around and the leaves move and come up and out and all, that is what makes it so interesting to me. Its just as much of a work of art inside as it is outside.

+compactc9: then you need the glass model, 200k thanks.
I would try and mash vegetables into the mechanisms. See if I could fuck it up proper and shit.
This is an astonishing construction.I have never heard of these tables.A tremendous achievement.Thanks for the clip
Awesome!! Now that is a true work of art. Ingenious engineering, beautiful and functional.
Man... that is a work of Art!
Truly fantastic engineering, I could watch the table changing all day.Beautiful work.
What a wonderful piece of engineering and craftsmanship.
amazing craftsmanship, amazing product. Beautiful in every sense !
Beautiful design and workmanship.
Never been a furniture man but something like this amazes me and is really beautiful. Great video thanks for sharing
Absolutely stunning table and very cleverly designed, hats off to you sir
Fantastic, brilliant craftsmanship!
This is a dream. It is so satisfying to watch. If it was my property I would open and close it over 100 times the first days. The sounds from the wood are also perfect. A masterpiece!
amazing...thank you for sharing this wonderful video. The person who talks seem to be really a kind man...very soft spoken
i first saw this on facebook and i must say....bloody awsome ..i love the engineering behind it
What a wonderful table! Chapeau!
The original design was absolutely brilliant and it's rare to take something that is already brilliant and make it that much better. Congratulations !!!
I hope to be able to afford to buy one at some point
Incidentally, loved the idea of using the honeycomb aluminum with the hardwood veneer demonstrating old world and new world coexisting in such harmony
An absolute work of art!
Have been following this design for a while now, thank you for the Upload! Instead of buying my next sedan I shall take on of these (my wife will veto). Extraordinary piece of Art and Engineering.
Really like the glass top idea. came up with an idea for the glass top. Using that glass that electronically goes from tinted to clear, I'm thinking when the table is small it is tinted so that it appears to be one piece. Then when it is transforming, it is clear. Then when the table is full-size, it goes back to full tint and looked like one piece again. But this is where it turns into work of art in motion. As the table transforms, Make all the mechanical parts in the table all different anodized colours with or without led's flashing in sequence (tailored to customers preferences) so that it creates a collidescope effect as it operates. Using different colours can give an iridescent or teckno-colour or neon or whatever kind of light show the costumer wants for their bar lounge gaming room. I think that would blow costumers minds. I know I would live to see that. Just came up with the idea now after watching your youtube vid on the Fletcher Capstan Table. This idea is not patented so please feel free to explore this idea. Would be pleased if you guy's credited my name for the idea but not necessary. Darcy Baldwyn. Love the table, wish I had that kind of money. I would totally order one.
What a fantastic privilege to create one of these master pieces. I have the greatest respect for those involved in their creation.
Definitely on my bucket list of things to make!
A beautiful example of engineering fusing with art. Well done.
Wow! That's just beautiful: both visually and mechanically. I would so love to see that in person!
Absolutely BRILLIANT Gentleman!
wow. super super SUPER BEAUTIFUL.
Great job
thank you so much was searching for any kind of video on how to make it
Wow, a beautiful piece of art that is actually useful. I didn't think I'd ever see such a thing.
Form and function is the way!
I am so very impressed with the Craftsmanship and thought that went into this unique design. I am truly in awe. Someday, time and funds willing I would like to make a smaller version of it for myself, not so much because I need such a table, but because overcoming all the design and construction obstacles that this design represents is the best part of any such project. Thank you to the original designer and builder, you inspire me to be a better woodworker and Craftsman. THANK YOU.
fantastic piece of art
Absolutely Brilliant!!
Wow. Absolutely amazing.
Surfing the tube late at night. Came across this beautiful table. I must say this is a remarkable feat of engineering! Makes me want to attempt a build of my own! Yeah I have lots of free time. Get over it, lol. Bravo
Absolutely stunning.
Thats so amazing, And great to see Matthias here too!!
Absolutely genius!!! Brilliant!
Awesome. I look forward to seeing the Fletcher Capstan expanding tablecloth.
Outstanding. I think I'll make one this weekend.
Got to be the coolest table I've ever seen
Beautiful engineering, and this guy does a good job narrating the process. I could listen to him read the ingredients on a box of cereal.
For $50,000 I'd expect it to be flawless as it is! Amazing! I'd love to own one... I have 14 people for Sunday dinners almost every week and we could actually sit all together. Simply stunning! Thanks for showing it!
truly an amazing achievement. I'd feel very proud in your shoes.
Superb, truly great engineering project.

wonderful and smooth operation. very very cool
Absolutely incredible.
awesome design!
Beautiful piece of art, quality and engineering. A testament to you, David & Co..
I looked all over IKEA and couldn't find it.
30 years ago I was given a drop leaf table. At the time it looked sadly dated so dark lacquered it. Tend to paint things black so they "disappear". This thing expands its surface area by a factor of 3 or 5.
What a thing of beauty - Craft and design brilliance
Amazing job, design pure
A very close friend of mine is a master carpenter, he calls this the holy grail of wood working and spend hours pouring over the prints and videos like this. It's truly a work of art and engineering. Finely done gentlemen. :)
I would love to make this for myself.This is AWESOME
Incredible! Awesome!
Soulful fulfillment. A credit to mankind. Aesthetically perfect.
Stunning!
interesting concept combined with master artisanship
amazing this man is a mechanical genius
I watched this, felt something warm trickle down my neck, and looked behind me to see my mind splattered on the wall. Absolutely mind-blowing engineering! Well done, gents!
I honestly do not understand why anyone would dislike this wonderfully informative video, showing how (possibly) the worlds greatest design function in a table is made. I accept that there are people will not like the hefty price tag, but what you are getting is not just a table! The technology that is used made it possible to make ridiculously high precision technologies look like the most simple organic movements in nature. The table seems (to me) like a flower bud blossoming into its true and yet hidden glory. Design like this can only be commended, never ridiculed.
Ok boomer.
That is downright beautiful.
that's amazing
Outstanding!
A work of art!
Wow, an amazing piece of engineering
What an engineering. Wow good work
So, incredible.
As a luthier and machinest I have told my children, when ever you put your name on something you ended up, as time passes, leaving a legacy of what you were all about. I am going to have them watch your video and show them someone who's going to be, or is now a "master craftsmen" and for a long time after he is gone will still be talked about.
Just stunning...
Such a cool table
I am amazed!
Great invention!
A masterpiece.
Quite Impressive. most unique item, ever.
As a carpenter i just love this stuff it's my dream to make something like this from scratch Well done boys good work
+TheDublin47: but you need to do it all in (book matched solid) timber , those steel sliders and timing bars are a bit "Uber-Industrial".
Just as the Honeycomb, (in the interests of weight saving), just be gentle with those hollow surfaces, no dancing on the table.
jk...lol.
kadmow Right, it doesn't seem to be up to mixed drink service.
¡¡Qué mesa tan maravillosa!!... Guao!, hay que ser todo un genio-ingeniero-artesano para diseñar un objeto como éste.
awesome design
Engineering meets art.
Love it.
Essa mesa é fantástica! Já tinha visto um gif animado dela funcionando, e agora achei esse vídeo de making of por acaso!
Beautiful piece of engineering.
That is the most brilliant and beautiful table i've ever seen, Every aspect of that screams quality, brilliance etc etc. I'm not even going to ask the price of the last table in the clip, i'd suspect i could buy a small house for the same price lol. Truly fantastic, i'm so glad ppl make the effort to bring such beauty into existence.
probably my third favorite table of all time
If I have extra people coming round for dinner I have a pasting table that I throw a clean bedsheet over - it works admirably. Just an idea for you to consider next time.
(seriously though - *absolutely* _incredible_!)
That is the most amazing thing I saw on TH-cam
I've seen*** just being annoying :D
You should check out giraffe fights!!!
Beautiful.
This brings a lot of possibilities for other stuff, very creative, take something that was already awesome and improve it
Beautiful!
this is briliant!
For those wondering about the cost, it is between $50,000 to $70,000.
christschool Plus it's artlessly made, as if 1000 parts plus fasteners is a reasonable set. Maybe if you have the School For OCD Crystal Blue Tinstrappers on retainer it is. Contrawise if CAD in 2012 relates there would perhaps be a machine that turns the things out assembled and finished in one motion, not this temple to RSI and changing place settings 3 times then flipping it and putting kitchen paper over the floor.
You could probably turn them out of a factory for a hair under fifteen grand, yes - but then you need to find a large enough pool of customers looking for a fifteen thousand dollar table to keep the factory running. Once things get expensive, they start getting even more expensive just because they were going to be expensive to begin with. You don't get to hire a bunch of low-skilled labour to do the bulk of the work. You don't get to have things made for minimal machining. And your customers, who have to pay more anyway, are going to expect more - bespoke timber choices and so on. You have no economies of scale at all. You're either going to charge a boatload or go broke. But then, it's your choice. Or could it be that you not actually making and selling anything like this, and thus have no clue what you're talking about?
Stunning
Only one word - WOW!
Awesome table
And just to remind you, in case you haven't learned, it's all drawn in CAD
I just realized... it's drawn in CAD.
Th3uNn3rV3d smashing
I don't know if you know this or not... But it's all drawn on CAD.

I don't know, I certainly didn't hear it.

Just one word... WOW!!!
that's a awesome technical table
Bloody amazing!
