I am absolutely blown away by this whole process! The way you completely rethought the central strategy, despite all the work you put into that original hub is inspiring! I'm learning so much and hope to build one of your tables one day!

Well done Scott! This is an amazing achievement! And great video

Amazing design. Can you explain the difference between the starndard plans and the step file plans Thanks

Rotate the Rubik's Cube cabinet, and you can release a video, and more people will look forward to your work.

That is an awesome design! In the 3D printing world, I often hear people talk of linear rails. Have you considered using them for your build? (I'm not implying they would be better. I don't know. I'm just curious if you considered them.)

Just found your table and I'm very impressed with your engineering efforts, believe I can handle the woodworking, my hesitation it the metal fabrication. Is there a company/website that I can order the machined metal parts.

Love this, do you have plans

If you sold this item commercially you would be rich. Prodim Proliner costs over 20k for very same thing.

Hello! I would like to ask on how you achieved this lean towards the center strategy?

sir can you please tell me for gusset plate which material and what thickness is best ?? i am building capstan table ..i buyed mild steel and stainless steel but they are not very flat ..i am 2nd year engineering student its a humble request if you guide me

Imagine the version in another decade...

I love this table! How much for a table? How much for 25?

i am working from last 6 months...main problem i am facing is flatness problem on metal sheets or uneven metal sheet.....So which material Scott used as gusset plate .....?Aluminium or any other?

Personally, my solution would have been to buy a bigger table.

I wanna make this for my IGCSE DT exam

Wow! I absolutely love it and it is very impressive i'm very keen to get the plans. However i would love to see another design in the future with some changes too. Going by the measurements, small mode currently seats 4 (possibly 5) people which is a great size. Large "only" increases that to 6 people. not a very big increase. There seems also to be the issue with knee-space. With it deployed to large mode the skirt comes down quite a bit and is only inset 15cm from the edge making it perfectly out of view to strike your knee in if you push your chair in. Sure you can go up slightly in table height but the knee clearance to the table top must not be too much either before it is uncomfortable. I would love to see a 6 panel piece and honestly with some clever storage in the legs i think most would be happy with some of the expanding panels not being integral and automatically deployed so the skirt can be less tall and design simpler.

0) How does the table stay locked in the expanded position? Or if you rotate it it becomes unlocked? 1) Need to apply a varnish or some type of finish it looks unfinished right now 2) What about cereal or other debris falling into the mechanism, how can it be cleaned 3) Maintenance: Grease? Wood Fatigue? Leveling the table (if its angled is the mechanism affected?)

" unlock the skrt skrt "

🤔... ☝️🤓 I could 3d print this now

This reminds me of the final box in the first "the room" game

Love the engineering.

Beautiful design

Awesome. Most beautiful part is the metal curved arm that pushes out and then brings back a little in the end. One part, two complicated motions.

this is some engineering!

CAD *(can always delete) OR (Cardboard Aided Design) or Carpenter Aided Destruction :) hehe.. anyone else got some good alternatives to mine, You knocked it out of the park! really. I am working on a mechanism like this but it works with counter weight and a few other little tricks. Marvelous stuff!!

EPIC! Tis a thing of beauty!

Huh, this is really cool! Cudos

Absolutely NUTS! I suddenly have a really strong urge to own this table.... One improvement I think I would love to see is a tapered cut on the bottom piece to give the illusion that the table is thinner than it really is, just like how laptops achieve looking thin as a coin, while they are actually close to 20mm. I can't figure out whether this would even be possible - but it would be really sweet! Nonetheless, this is a absolutely fantastic result as is! Big time congrats on getting past the finish line on this project

As someone who's working career was spend around all kinds of machines and mechanical stuff as also machining and hydraulics... this is a piece off mechanical porn 😂.... What a beautiful mechanism 😀👍...

That is extremely impressive.

WOW !! That is AWESOME ! You are a Genius, thanks for sharing. 😎👍

NICE! But I think that table costed you a year of your life :) Building that and finding all the parts must be a nightmare :)

I am going to buy your plans for this. It's so impressive. Thank you!

This is extremely impressive!!

Im wowed! Showed my wife x)

Do you have the drawings to sell?

well done! I love it

Make this automated

Why am I not surprised there is 80/20 incorporated in this design. 80/20 is a engineers lego's.

Hi! Asking detail question: could you take advantage of the rear rotation of the arcs shown at 4:01 to lift the center? It may act the same as the underlying bits, but in a more unified gesture, maybe?

Is there a locking mechanism when the table is fully deployed? This is essential to prevent people sitting at the table from accidentally making the table spin and retract during dinner.

Speechless!!!! So amazing

Ingenious. I really want this, haha.

Very well done. Kudos sir.

table could be substantially thinner if the torque lifting mechanism was changed, great design!!!

Plexiglass top parts, mahogany and brass everything else.

Very impressive!!!

Is there a video of the original table This was a great video no loud intro no music while you were talking I loved everything about this especially since you showed how it worked

Awesome.

Absolutely amazing. That's true mechanical genius.
