My new shop assistant Jon likes to dabble in design. He posted a cool little table idea to his Instagram feed and I thought it would make a fun experiment for TWW. We put our heads together and came up with a prototype. As you probably know by now, even prototypes can be beautiful and functional so Jon took the table home and put it to work. After that first proof of concept, I really wanted to take a second crack at the design with a few changes that put a slight Spag-spin on it and you'll see that one at the end of the video.

Sick PS5 flex
Love both the designs. Dovetails for the bottom joinery would be a cool change as well.
@@sethrosendahl: I had to look that one up. But, yeah, I see it. Good call.
I love your philosophy and builds.
One of favorite science quotes “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” ― Isaac Newton. Now after listening to you I will use it in my woodshop also.
There's something about this video that I think makes it my favorite of this year. I really enjoyed the attitude of "Let's try it and see if it works," and I really appreciate you showing the broken one. Thank you for all that you do, Marc. You inspired me with this video.
I had fun making these. I made two smaller models. I used only one vertical finger assembly for each consisting of 11 boards each. One thing I did differently was that I dado cut both tops and a scrap piece at the same time. This allowed me to glue the fingers into the table top while using the scrap piece at the bottom for support and to keep things straight. Then I glued the spacers in and trimmed to length. Thanks for the inspiration.
I like the end where you give your take on design . Great way you evolved the original design.
Thank you very much!
Agree. I love the fact that Marc gives credit where due always. Great, great video. Excellent explanations of the whole process. And yep, you took it to another level, Marc. Dang, I want to build one of these.
As a professional designer I was taught to go with what you know works, so there’s no shame in taking an idea and enhancing it.
This is the type of vid why I subbed to TWW all those years ago and ended up a woodworker a decade later. Thanks Marc!
Hey Marc,
Your last few minutes talk seem to have eased my mind. Because I always thought that I am copying or stealing ideas from others but really we are only getting inspired. Thanks for being honest in sharing it. I am at ease now🙂.
I really like that. nice work man!
Thanks man!
A very beautiful design and build! Thanks, Marc and Jon, for sharing your creativity and excellence.
This is beautiful, and seems relatively accessible for hobbyists to attempt. Well done. Also, nice PS5 flex at the end there...
Beautifully done! You learn by pushing your boundaries and seeing what happens.
"Always build upon the work of other people" Thanks for saying that. I got into woodworking just a couple of years ago and sometimes feel guilty for copying a build from youtube. It took me a while to change that mentality. Awesome design build!
Beautiful design. Loved your comments at the end. That’s exactly the way I work.
love the developmental process and creativity outlook you mentioned at the end of the video!
Awesome. So nice to hear the design philosophy and to watch a real artist.
Many thanks.
Learning and applying new techniques is one of my favorite aspects of woodworking. It was really fun watching you do it! Super neat project that I suspect has the mental gears of many woodworkers turning.
I really enjoy the discussion about details, and especially why what worked or didn't.
He looks very proud. Good work and thanks a lot for the plans.
Mark, one of your best videos in my humble opinion. Couldn’t agree more with your wrap up!
Beautiful looking pieces. Really like John's design style. Also like the way you iterate off of it and create a new piece. loots great.
Outstanding idea executed flawlessly.
Have to say, to me, best video period. A friend says; “Hey I drew this out what do you think?” You, “Let’s give it a shot!” You went full in on the design to give the design the full opportunity to fruition despite your concerns. As a new wood worker right now I am getting all my ideas from people like you and others. Thanks for sharing.
I love it when experiments work out beautifully. nice job thanks for sharing
Such a cool video - great design, craftsmanship and education, all wrapped up in an entertaining and smooth edit. Thank you.
That is beautiful. Great idea Jon, you're lucky to have a boss like this. keep it up.
Thank you Marc for sharing this project, as always, a great build. I watched your video on the step stool (about a hundred times) you did a 15 degree on it, I dont have that jig you used on the table saw so I made one for a 5 degree for the sides of a sideboard, your work has always inspired me. Thank you Marc
Well done gentleman! Beautiful work and beautiful philosophy!
Marc, the flexibility of a beam varies with the cube of length (L^3), so the taller 2nd version became more flexible just by virtue of the increased height (beam length). Length was probably a more significant factor than tension from the reentrant curve.
Experimenting with John. New free site series!
Love the outcome and evolution.
I just had this exact talk with my podcast partner right after our recording. He brought the advise and you reinforced it. Thank you Mr. Whisperer. You're a pretty smart guy no matter what Matt says about you. Cheers
Hi Marc,
You and David will always be my favorite woodworkers. You have built a bridge from the past to the future. Indeed many stand on your shoulders. In a world of time lapse projects and plywood, you still stand out. You deserve a quiet “That’ll do Pig. That’ll do.” So here’s one from a fan and an internet friend. Keep it up.
Jim
Very kind of you Jim!
You guys do amazing work! I’m glad that John is co tribute for to the channel and he really nailed it.
Allot of great wood info in this one. Thanks mark 👍
You are a doctor of wood working. Always over the top.
Beautiful design.
Great job, John!
Thank you, John! It all starts with an idea.
Love it, made one for the wife. We both think it is beautiful. Thanks guys
Beautiful work gentlemen!
Can't wait to try this myself. Very nicely done.
Grateful thanks for sharing your wisdom and experience, Marc.
I really appreciate your take on design building on previous experiences of others even. By my standards this would really stretch my competence. 🙏🏾
Very cool project. I could see adding another variation by using different widths in the thin strips. Or possibly creating an arch with them for added stability.
Great project. I like the first one, but that second one is greatness. Very Art Deco.
Love different engineering of a seemingly simple project idea.
This design is beautiful! And I really like the way you take us by hand in the process
Great idea and great video. Calming and relaxing.
About your consideration "one design is stiffer than the other" --> This has little to do with the fan shape or parallel-shape of the fingers.
For a cantilever, the stiffness scales as the cube of the length. For example, if one table is 1.26 times as tall as the other, its stiffness will be ~ half, all other things being constant.
czcams.com/video/a_E-tYRxBkU/video.html
Yep. I said the same thing, but you said it better than I did, because math.
@@ericcasteel1379 Haha, math ftw. :) Did you watch Prof. Dan Gelbart's excellent video (linked above)?
I think Marc was referencing side to side flex and not so much of the cantilever flex. It's somewhat obvious that the longer piece will have a bit more flex than the shorter piece but I think the extra tension of the perpendicular fingers helps quite a bit when we're talking side to side flex. The fingers are simply stiffer.
Obviously, wider and/or thicker strips would help with the flex and twist as well. Steam would make larger strips easier to bend. The point at which the short strips stop will also make a difference.
Outstanding work and idea, like the book matching walnut the must.
I've watched this a few times since you posted. I would never be able to design this but LOVE how funky, yet delicate, it is. My next big tool purchase will be a drum sander and I think this will be one of the first pieces I build with it.
Thank you!
Gorgeous, elegant. One of the best builds I've seen. I agree with you, the compound curve must be what gives greater stiffness - unexpected, but clearly demonstrated.
The various accents and modifications, especially for the second one, are striking. Looking forward to making my own evolution.
Great video!
Great project and video. It’s a beautiful lil couch table!
Mark, great video.
The parting shot at the end is so true to life, very few have the wow idea, but we can all " make better " .
That was finally a nice video of a very nice project, cool design. love to see how you guys made it and learned a lot!
Man these are both such an awesome design. I think I prefer the single bend just a little more, it just looks a little more smooth. Great work guys
Beautiful! Such a creative design.
Awesome work!
Really cool and beautiful design.
John, you are, obviously, a talented "dabbler".
Congratulations, on a beautiful and functional design.
Great project John and Mark!👍👍
Wow, amazing design, evolution, education!
Love the planer!
I really like this one, great job guys.
Great project, looks magnificent , really enjoyed watching this production.
Those tables look really smart, bit of an art deco vibe going on. I like them!
Awesome work!
Saved a screenshot so i can always look back to it for inspiration.
I used to use the analogy about the wheel , albeit a little differently stated ,when I used to race cars: "I didn't invent the wheel but I'm here to make it roll faster!"
Another BEAUTIFUL piece! Thank you for sharing!
Really enjoyed the “experiment”! And the design theory at the end was pretty interesting too.
Cheers, nice work!
Big pat on the back to John, knocked it out the park on the design, nice looking project
Awesome table build. you explain it perfectly. as always
Super nice design come to life.
First, Jon had a really great idea. It's a very nice design. It's light and easy to implement. Lots of room for innovation too. I think the flex on the taller one is mostly due to the extra height. Second, the format of this production is outstanding. I like that you are working out the design and construction points during the production. This is not a "Here are the plans go make one" video. This is a both educational and entertaining production. I see you left out the dowells on the second one. I think they were unneeded. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay healthy.
Thanks for the feedback Glen. The second actually does have dowels. It’s just harder to see oak on cherry. 😊
Watching your channel for long time and really enjoy it. I really respect you giving the credit to John for the design. Great design and great improvements. Well done guys.
Thank you very much!
Nothing but grace loving it.
great job on the tables Marc, the last 10 minutes or so of chatting design was a highlight
The fan design of the vertical elements is very nice, I enjoy tinkering with designs like that. As an architect, I can tell you that design changes are driven by material advances, more than anything else. And our ever changing lifestyles impact design as well, more than you would think. Thanks for pointing out the evolution of design in the built environment!
Real nice dude , thumbs up to your shop person
I definitely like your boy’s design. He’s new to woodworking and coming up with better stuff than I do after years of it. Lol. Kudos to you both.
@@TheSnowboardhippie oh my bad. When he said new shop guy I assumed that meant new to the craft. I apologize and stand corrected. Still a beautiful design whether from novice or old timer. Lol
That’s really cool. Nice work guys!
Great video - this is my favorite in a long while - enjoyed everything about it - thanks so much
That was a fun watch. Thank you.
That is a really neat table idea, great project!
Really nice design! And really beautiful finish!
Loved it. Nice one Marc 👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent project 👍
I was finishing up a bowl today on the lathe thinking I need a cool flat work project. This hit it out of the park! Thx bud, hope all is well been to long since we last talked at the woodworkers shows!
Nice video guys and cool design John! The serendipitous miter cuts on the spacers definitely added some cool flavor, good call keeping them. :)
Excelente idea y excelente trabajo! Felicitaciones! Germán, Montevideo, Uruguay
Thanks for posting the plans for this. I was planning on building two tables like this. But I was not finding any designs that I liked. This is beautiful. I am looking forward to building these.
Very nice and aspiring video, I will definitely try this.
Very inspiring!
These are awesome. Nice work!
great vid! i feel like we need more like this.
They turned out great, awesome work guys! 😃👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Awesome project Marc! I might have to make one myself. I like that little shot of the Dual Sense at the end there. Glad you were one of the lucky ones who managed to get ahold of a PS5!
Very Cool 😎! There's a lot of mileage to be had with these Fan-C legs! Cool experimental build!
Very cool. I will put it on my project list
Nice T-Shirt! One of the best in KC! Thanks for continually providing quality content.
It looks beautiful ❤️
Man those are so beautiful. OutSTANDING work. You are a great dude! Nice philosophical rant at the end. I agree!!!
Very nice .... great little project.... I think , you and your partner did an awesome job .... thank you for the video:)
I saw this video a while back. Now I was looking fir an idea for a sofa table. This vid popped up. I just want to say again: "Thanks for all the fish". Your videos not only inspired me, but also helped me in learning the trade. Cheers!
