Impossible ONE String Floating Table

I really wanted to try and build a one string tensegrity table and I am pleased that it worked so well. watching these pieces defy what the logical brain says should work is pretty cool and well worth the build. Having a floating table around the office will be lots of fun

Izzy, it is always a pleasure to see the work you do. I love trying these projects. THANK YOU for what you do.

[@garmbeliblis]

So good to see you having fun and sharing it with us, Godspeed Izzy.

[@imzardoz]

I was so glad to see you get the surgery, and come back so well. Then I had my own life threatening problem, and it only makes me so much more happy to see you doing what makes you happy, realizing what some of us have gone through.Thanks for all you have done over the years here Izzy!

[@cwebblocksmith]

Hang in there man!!!

[@Mr.Mister67]

When I was young I used to stay away from fads because I didn't want to be a sheep but I think back on how I was missing out on discovering something neat that ultimately would have brought me closer to my class mates. If you want to build it then build it! Don't create if it's only because your being pressured to though!!!

[@hueyiroquois3839]

You're obviously too young to remember pet rocks.

[@DannyDangerOz]

Great work as always. I'm glad you decided to do it because as usual, you approached it in your own unique way. Hope you're on the mend and you and your family are staying safe during these trying times.

[@brianknowles7130]

Think it goes to show that between you and Jimmy D nothing is beyond your skills. Enjoyed watching. Thks.

[@MarcSundermeyer]

Some years ago I found an image online where they used metal strips that had a string knotted through them to create that tower. I could never figure out how to build one to prove it would work because it required the strips to be under tension in just the right way with knots on each string. Your method with the wood and the side screws is a far superior design and accomplishes the same thing. Awesome project.

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Wow, that is super awesome. Izzy blows doors with stuff like this. I knew the bag of cement wasn't gonna fly at all but, totally Kool. I love watching this channel. The content here is always relevant and really inspiring. Jim

[@williamellis8993]

That's really neat, Izzy. I hadn't heard of this before but it's a really interesting concept. Stay well and keep healing. Bill

[@deniserettedal2387]

I'm loving all of these! Your builds are great and your music choices make me happy!

[@carybrown3192]

Theres definitely some badassery going on in that shop!

[@xxrgxxcasco]

Man, this is gold!!! Engineering at it's finest!

[@johnulibarri5632]

I understand the theory but seeing it produced makes my head hurt 😜👍 Awesome execution thanks‼️

[@allamowna6921]

This man is unique. There’s always something that he does that pushes a concept forward. Great video !

[@dogwoodtales]

The whole concept of these floating tables just blows my mind but a single string? Just ... bang ... mind gone. Nicely done!

[@ikocheratcr]

Even thou you mention you were keen to do what other (trend) are doing, you made it completely different. All the tensegrity object youtube recommends, are of the multiple threads/chains one. Yours is thinking out of the box, kudos. Really like it.

[@pettigrewwoodworks]

Nice extension of the technology!

[@SuperJamster1]

I've never seen this before, and it took a minute for my brain to wrap around the physics involved. Now just have some recessed cup holders on that baby. Nice work, and glad to see the color in your face coming back.

[@phillipjones3342]

Well done izzy pretty wicked

[@bigbadjohn10]

The one with the crescents would make a cool feature light!

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty fantastic work, Izzy! 😃 I need to try to make something like that!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@jamesallen6007]

You are brilliant. Many thanks.🇬🇧👍

[@martyclack8782]

Great job Izzy

[@cwebblocksmith]

So awesome Izzy.

[@sasquatch-7634]

You and guys like you doing what you do would make a great tv show. Wish I had one tenth of your talent.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

You're a mad genius, I love it.

[@makermark67]

Glad you jumped over to a "trendy" one just to put your twist on it.... great project and cool as crap. Keep it up!

[@riccardo27able]

That's incredible!

[@xiruke]

Amazing, please make more ideas like that!!

[@A.Mere.Creator]

Looks great Izzy!

[@oojagapivy]

I had a vague thought whether this could be done. Izzy comes along and says "hold my drink".

[@dadzilla13]

He says hold my drink and watch this. It will be cool 😎

[@SteveC38]

Fancy seein' you here Brother...

[@prasadvn524]

Lovely

[@projectqueen610]

That did look fun.. I like how you are an out of the box thinker.

[@mute8s]

I've been watching a lot of tensegrity videos recently and not only is it cool to see you do one but I really like your change to the design. I won't be one of the guys who says "You should have done it this way". That being said I am going to say "When I build mine with your design I'll use countersunk screws and wood plugs to make the screws disappear. Great idea though! Thanks!

[@kaycox5555]

AWESOME as always!!!!

[@duncanmcharg]

Great stuff Izzy :) Flip the table up the other way without fixing the cord; looks like it'll work fine. All the Best.

[@bernhardtammen4463]

Super Video Dankeschön fürs Zeigen

[@Ariesphoenix1]

Nice job!

[@danjeffrey1531]

Izzy, that's awesome!

[@CVM222VOLT]

Amazed by people that have wood working talent like this..

[@FredMcIntyre]

Really cool Izzy! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@the250mikec]

Looked like fun. You rock👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@konghinchin]

This is amazing!

[@toysoldier46552]

I'm glad to see you taking my advice and taking it slowly brother. Back issues can be very devastating which I know from experience. I threw my back out yet again today so yeah, seeing you in that chair again reminded me that I'm still fortunate enough not to need one yet, key word is yet. Keep the awesomeness coming and we'll see you in the next one :)

[@oueuc2]

Man, I love it! I'm gonna make me some of those! Put the Shapeoko to use. Thanks for the great idea!

[@IAmKyleBrown]

As always, the mind of Izzy is AMAZING! I'm inspired to try this out, to make some trellis type structures for plants to climb up!

[@GrayRaceCat]

I like the Trellis idea, if you don't mind I'm going to borrow it!

[@clayanderson1239]

Wow amazing just a single strength awesome.

[@theintelligentcarpenter9407]

Seriously dude, you're a beast. Hands down, thumbs up, beast.

[@buzzsah]

Fun, and worked. Hope you start to feel better.

[@davidharrison3486]

Izzy i thought that was brilliant build loved it

[@sapelesteve]

Well, that was rather interesting Izzy. Leave it to you to dream up something like that! BTW, I see that you are using the chair to get around again. I hope that you haven't had a set back.

[@johnwalton5528]

I AM SO HAPPY TO C U R KEEPING BUSY DO NOT LET THIS STOP OR SLOW U DOWN STILL PRAYING FOR U SIR

[@MrHawkeyegamer]

Thats crazy nuts stuff. I need a lie down. Sweet work

[@leonardocarvajaldoreste2838]

Usted es un gran Ingeniero. Lo felicito. Saludos desde Caracas, Venezuela

[@ThaiPham-rq5ko]

Great job!

[@stanleyshostak2737]

That’s cool. This is going around right now, but yours is the only one I watched.

[@horatioswrld]

Wow. Just gorgeous. Still unsure how this works but it’s amazing. Hope your doing ok

[@ericosechinifilho4091]

Mágico não existe. Mas pessoas super talentosas como vc sim👏👏👏👏👏 Que belo trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷 🇧🇷

[@snugfitworks3657]

Cool, amazing idea. I will try it.

[@bobtaiy2910]

Thank you very much Mr Izzy

[@Rickmakes]

That is an awesome design! Have you considered building one with a steel cable instead of rope? It seems like you could get more consistent tension.

[@Roydansch]

Inspiring! Thank you very much! Greetings from Germany! Good Job!

[@JohnMadeit]

Wow. Amazing. I want to try it now

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Man I wish I was there with you in the shop. This was just fun to watch...

[@jafo3814]

Awesome video.........THANKS!!!

[@davidurdahl6656]

As Evan and Katelyn would say, I think thats more tensegrity adjacent... lol cool stuff izzy.

[@SteveC38]

Great video Fellas! Really well done👍

[@wasimsaleem961]

VERY GOOD CONCEPT AND NICE TO SEE. THUMBS UP 👍.

[@manuelromerobarroso7965]

Me ha gustado mucho,Tienes un gran ingenio. Saludos

[@marthapatrick1]

That's insane! Let me tell you that you are pretty amazing in that field! Terrific job! I am from Honduras!

[@jimstewart1044]

That could make a really cool looking stool!

[@samuelcruz9258]

Nice work . Specialy on the table. I din't espect to hold that . Using a fishing string for big fish it will be great .

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

That was fun! Especially the evil success laughter bahahaha!

[@rpgwoodworking5489]

Love it! Man I want to try’

[@vancelee8146]

You beat me to it! Knew it would work.

[@KeikoBushnell]

So cool!

[@billy19461]

That was great!

[@bigdon1a1]

Nice job

[@upwoodart]

Super good work sir

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing! Felix

[@davebauerart]

So cool! Not matter what you innovate!

[@Artanis1976]

Thank you Brother!

[@billygarfield5520]

Fantastic!

[@alooshalshammari5915]

Fabulous Well done 👍

[@MCsCreations]

Izzy, I'm just starting to watch, but I have to say: I LOVE that music you've been using in your videos! It transports me to The Mask movie! 😂

[@clivewsm]

I love it too, sounds like Caro Emerald to me.

[@GrayRaceCat]

@MC"s Creations, According to SHAZAM it's 1) "Rock This Joint" (Original Mix) Yanivi Feat. Bella Potchy 2) "Nu Island" DayFox

[@MCsCreations]

@@GrayRaceCat Nice! Thanks! 😃

[@dhm7815]

I can't believe what I just saw. Thank you.

[@MrGrombie]

When the idea is cool, why not? I appreciate you taking your own approach to it though

[@elementalblaze79]

If you're uncomfortable when doing stuff, it'll show! So run that fan to stay cool, I fully know the feeling!

[@KeithOlson]

Table, heck; that's an awesome *STOOL!*

[@Oonagh72]

Beyond cool!!

[@AnilDubey-qk5nb]

You People are really CRAZY! Love from INDIA!!

[@Uniquettt]

brilliant designs I think sooner or later there is going to be a Tensegrity world wide challenge with a financial prize for motivation

[@Rottingflare]

had to like and subscribe for the unique implimentation of a tensegrity table

[@FranksDIY]

Man I want to build my own now Izzy just as an art piece lol.

[@philipellis1865]

That is badass 💪🙌

[@caderbavahsiddicl6414]

Excellent brother s.... Thank lots for sharing......

[@eraseraka]

Very good!!

[@manicmaker52]

Friggin awesome...

[@adamjadeja1978]

Very good job

[@howardking3601]

Really fascinating projects! I'm amazed at your imagination and your ability to build prototypes that work! Would the table be more stable with aircraft cable and more tension? It looks to me that it's the elasticity of your cord that is leading to failure.

[@randomgrinn]

Drives me nuts that this is so hyped. Something that takes 3 seconds to figure out can't be called, "impossible". I like your version though, good job.

[@alicerose5614]

Right? It's super intuitive.
