Since you use Fishing line u could also use Lead weights. Weights with slots to 'grip' the line and then pressure fit the weights into each end as a counter sunk insert.

I'd do the outter 4 in 20lb mono and the center at 80 plus braided wire in black for flex. I believe mono would stretch too much for the centerline

I tried this with 200lb mono. The stretch makes it very difficult to tension it evenly. Tried again with 1.5mm steel cable and it worked much better. To get the table stable, it needs a lot of tension.

If you look up Buckminster Fuller's Tensegrity you'll see his designs use the tension lines in the shape of triangles. So to stop the "wabble" you can add lines from the bottom center post down to the base points and from the top center point to the top points. Tighten it all up. The center line will need to be strong enough to hold the weight of everything put on the table. This is a very nice table!

if you know someone who studies civil, mechanical engineer or architecture ask them to know how much it could lift (they would know some materials) and where you can put the lines.

The center of gravity is in the center of the table where the middle wire is. The entire weight of the top part is pulling downward on that middle rope, but the base on the floor is holding it up. The 3 wires on the sides of the table is just to stabilize it so it doesn't wobble too far away.

@@Pwn3dbyth3n00b "The 3 wires on the sides of the table is just to stabilize it so it doesn't wobble too far away." It would fall immediately because it's an unstable equilibrium. Without those wires, it would be like balancing a pencil on it's point. But the rest of the explanation is written quite nicely. Edit: Because the table is not symmetric, the center of gravity is not in the middle. So it's not even an unstable equilibrium.

Great work John! If you make the top and base different sized equilateral triangles, it would likely be slightly more stable and prevent the racking/swinging motion under the same amount of tension. Also, if you can find something that has less give than fishing line, that would also stabilize things as fishing line does have quite a bit of flex even at that test.

As a fellow woodworker who enjoys the craft as much as any that love the beauty of real wood, I have to say I am impressed with what you created here as an experiment! You likely brought "Tensegrity" to the attention of many that may never have known about it otherwise! Kudos for that! Now I have to address something I watched you do repeatedly in this video, and it made me cringe. You likely have quite steady hands, which allows you to be more precise than most in this type of work (I do myself also). That said, it is not good to take risks that can do irreparable damage to your best tools; your hands. First of all, your tablesaw work in which you use your hands to push the material through with what looks like no more than two inches clearance from the blade for your hand. I've seen many woodworkers lose fingers or parts of fingers doing that. Steady handed though you may be, you never know when something might happen that would cause a disastrous severance of a digit. My own Pop was distracted by a coworker while operating a tablesaw, and lost his right index finger because of it. I myself am a very careful individual around such heavy woodworking equipment; keeping safety foremost in my mind. Because of this, at the age of 63, I still have all of my digits, and they all work quite well. The fix for this is to use push sticks. I can give you plans for making push sticks, and even a fence rider push handle that will keep your hands safe. The second thing is when you were drilling holes in the dowels, using your hands in very close proximity to the business end of the drill bit. That is no less dangerous than the previous thing I noted. The bit could hit a soft spot in the wood and punch through your fingers, or even your palm, due to the pressure you are using to work the drill! Very scary! You should use something to brace the dowels, holding them firmly in place other that risk your hands like that. I'm only calling you out on this because I care about my fellow woodworkers, and I want all of us to stay as safe as we possibly can. Yes safety rules take a little extra time to follow in your work flow; however, following them is proven to save you time in the long run, because an injury will take away time you could use to do what you obviously love doing. If you wish to know how long I have been working with wood, I now have 51 years of experience, as I started at the age of 12 in Wood Shop Class in Middle School, Virginia Beach, Virginia. I am also descended from a long line of woodworkers on both sides of my family. My Grandfather on my Pop's side was a furniture builder and cabinetmaker. My Pop was also in woodworking, and he and I worked together in the same company, doing what we love. It is my chosen profession, and I put myself into my work, as I love creating pieces of real beauty from beautiful wood. Please sir, I respectfully ask that you take extra care to stay safe in your woodworking environment! In that way, you will extend the time you have working with wood, as you obviously love to do. Cheers!

Beautifully done, I certainly don't have the skill to make the table as nice as that. I like the hidden string points and the adjustable tension bolts, nice touch. I have zero experience and can barely put up some shelves and have them straight! Anyway, about a month ago, I saw a very simple video and decided to do the same. It was hand cut, I used crappy pallet wood, para cord and screws. The result wasn't anywhere near as good as this (maybe if I had the tools and workshop I could do a lot better), but to all of you who think that this is incredibly difficult, it isn't. It does take thinking about, but to make a crude version it takes a few hours and it still looks f*****g cool. Thank you for showing me what's possible when you have all the bells, whistles, knowhow and skill.

All the weight is on the center string. so it's all downward force. The other strings are in tension just to prevent the top from moving and shifting its center of gravity to anywhere else but the middle string.
@MinhTran-wn1ri
@MinhTran-wn1ri 4 жыл бұрын
It becomes apparent @4:43 when he pushes down and the 3 outer strings go slack (which means they aren't providing any upward force). Gravity pulls the tabletop down but the center string pulls against gravity, upwards. The C-shape design of the tabletop creates the illusion that it's floating -- if you imagine cutting off the table-top portion, just below the 'Y' joint, you'll see what's going on. Very clever illusion!

John after asking you for the templates and gettin. We winged it! It was an on the fly build I had to give it a whirl.. the only problem I had was my less than perfect table saw kept dropping the datto blade, so I wound up with less than perfect cuts SO I did a little filler and painted my nice wood project. Any how it TURNED out pretty good!! great project -“but because I saw it on the internet-I had to do it”. thanks a million
