Fascinating creation of a LEGO inspired, wood coffee table

submitted by eric3579

2 years 5 months ago

I have made a coffee table from a piece of Douglas fir that I cut in 2019. I used the form of a 40 tooth Lego gear to make the coffee table top. I cut the Lego gear on the CNC machine. I did a drawing of the gear. Then I used that drawing to cut out various shapes at various levels to form the gear. I started by cutting one side of the wood, and then I flipped the piece of fir over on the CNC machine to cut the other side. I matched up the two sides by cutting Lego bumps on a sacrificial spoil board on the CNC table that the gear would fit into and hold it in the exact location. This allowed the two sides of the gear to be aligned. I woodturned three legs out of a piece of maple that I had. The end of the legs fit in with a plug into the circles of the gear so the legs work like big Lego pieces. I did not glue the legs in place so in the future I could try something different. The coffee table is going to go in the sitting area next to our dining room.

His videos are SOOO well made. The editing is top notch. It's usually what keeps me watching.

The creativity and woodworking are pretty good also

He kept it moving at a nice pace. He also had a fix for unexpected surprises so as to not abort the whole project. It would have created a lot of foul language if my father had run into some of the surprises this guy dealt with.

Moving this video to eric3579's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Well what the hell, *promote a bit of content i enjoyed. The pacing (as BSR said) and brilliant editing, for these types of videos, makes it worth the watch....IMO. It's not about the table as much as it's about the video creation.

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by original submitter eric3579.

I found it odd that, while the table has 8 holes, he gave it 3 legs. It doesn’t look right to me like that.
Even a 2x speed, a bit long, but quite detailed to make up for that.
