Huh, was just thinking I’m glad I’m not the only one who does that 😖

I would love to see an inlaid gaming/coffee table that flips over on an axis. One side is an inlaid gaming table for chess, checkers, cards, etc., with storage compartments for gaming pieces. The other side is a standard coffee table with built-in cork drink coasters and inlaid place settings (maybe?). Once you flip it to the side you need, have a cool locking mechanism to keep the tabletop steady and firm. What do you think??? Maybe with matching seating? And if you're feeling ambitious, make it for an outdoor setting!

Love the use of the PAPR instead of a dust mask! Brilliant, but waaaay too expensive for home use, so I'm jealous.

You were looking for “rabbet.” Also, I’ve been a fan of the channel for a while, so I’m not saying this to troll, just sharing a faithful viewer’s two cents : I like these builds, but hate when you edit out the acrylic in the thumbnail. Makes it feel really clickbaity and cheapens the actual end result. All in all, sick piece. Hope you and the fam are doing well.

I honestly think it would have looked better with wood or steel where the acrylic is, and lean into how weird the table is. The acrylic looks like a last minute addition

John is an artist with the sharpie

I think with a giant acrylic tube inside instead of the small sticks it would look much better. I know, tube in that size is expensive, but it would look awesome.

My initial thought watching this was, "sweeeet!". Then I had a thought... What if you inlaid metal into the lining of the wood that then connected to an clear epoxy stand at the bottom to still give the "floating" effect? Either way, love the floating series you're doing. Keep up the awesome work

@JohnMalecki I'm going to reference chocolatier stuff here...if I want to make a fragile chocolate bowl...the first thing I do is blow! I use a food safe balloon and blow it to the size I want. I figure out a way to support it...then make and pour the chocolate on the balloon...once the chocolate hardens...very carefully pop the balloon and pull it away... In your case...your balloon could be a parchment paper covered cement form...to make it more structurally sound...do hidden dowels in every piece...less blow out!

Beautiful work, John! Nicely done! 😃 The only different thing I would do is to use dowels for every part, from the beginning! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

An outdoor seating table that has swings as seats and a dynamic looking table that is actually static would be a cool project.

Not trying to be critical, but wondering if there would be a way to attach the acrylic feet without screws. Some kind of tenon end on the acrylic, up into the bottom of the SQUIRRELLY Spiral 🤷🏾‍♂️ ? Nice build.

Yoooooooo you need to get Matt outlaw (731 woodworks) to the ranch!

Make a video on Purple Heart and the best techniques for working with it, planing/sanding/sealing etc!

best way I've found to assemble segmented glue ups (I do a lot of hexagon/octagon picture frames and cedar bongs) ;ay the painters tape out on the table sticky side up, (fold the ends over to hold it to the table) then lay the segment out on the tape apply glue and just fold it up. the key is the angle, the angles need to be just about perfect. if you want to spiral it to the center you have to keep increasing the angle. e.g. 22.5 to 22 to 21.5 to 21 to 20.5 to 20. I'm not sure of the exact angles and how many of each you'd need. guess that depends on how tall you want it and how fast you want it to spiral to the center.

Let’s see the new shop already!!

Just when i'm thinking, i bet this guy would be fun to work with, he says "lets chuck some PanterA on and lets rip"! freakin legend.

Cool Idea and love the channel! A couple of tips to improve the whole piece. 1. Dowels in the original glue up will provide immense more support and make working on the piece easier. 2. Instead of screwing the plexi legs on create a mortise in the end grain and insert the leg as a tenon. Keep up the great work!

Guys I really enjoy your videos, some better than others, but there all good.👍🏻

Love the squirrel push block !

Looks awesome! I wonder if using a sonotube in the middle for the initial glue up would make it easier to glue and clamp?

I would love to see that style doing in a torched finish

Rebate the word or “some kind of woodworking terminology” yinz was looking for was a rebate. P.S my 11yr old said “that’s cool, but weird. And he’s cool and funny, but he’s weird too”.

Fabricobble lvl 100! I was also thinking clamping a pipe or rod on the inside while carving could dampen the vibration enough to keep it together. Great music selection, good humor and no blood. I'd say another win!

Awesome job on this one!

A center steel post to a base would have been sweet as well. Then just have that carved wood floating just above.

Very nice! I love your squirrel wood pusher.

Dude that table top

Use round acrylic tube, it's harder to see. And use acetone instead of fire to get cut edges clear.

What about a winter outdoor bench with built in seat warmers/space heater, sponsored by pit boss?

Could you do something similar but inset a steel rod thru the middle by either drilling thru the wood and sliding it over like beads or makeing to curved peices of wood with slots in side to sandwich over the metal?

Hey, newbie woodworker here, i just got one question.. how did you account for wood movement for the top? As far as i read online, they say you should never attach a top so snug.. anyway another GREAT creation from you!! You inspire me so much!

How about a floating work bench!

Can you do a comparison on your old bosch miter saw vs the makita you have now?

Woowwers thats cool and unique design. Really like this video series. Love ur videos. Always enjoy seeing what you make next. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Keep making. God bless. Stay squirrely.

Great job John it came out gorgeous. Looks like it was a real S.O.B. but still thanks for the great content.

Ultimate floating furniture… the floating sofa! Float with friends

Thumbs up for golden doodles! 👍🏻

I was hoping for a better looking support. Maybe like plywood or what not secured to your leg through a rug or something that would keep you secret. Not sure what securing method I would trust my coffee cup to, but nice work

Hey John! You should make a hidden compartment drawer!

You should make a floating dragon chair or table

I think an acrylic or resin cylinder down the middle would look cooler, Or better yet like a resin DNA double helix in the middle.

If your wanting to find out more on how to do the segments. I suggest watching or even trying to get ahold of a fellow KZread called “Frank makes”. He does quite a few projects with segmented pieces. For example he made the Death Star, an eye with iris. Just to mention some. Hopefully that helps out a little bit for future projects

Would a dowel or pin glued in have helped?

I think you should make a place we’re to store your golf clubs in the winter... and make kick ass like you always do...they have some on the market by they are Junk and don’t hold all the stuff like shoes umbrellas extra clubs shag bags... you’d crush that

I bet a foam cylinder could've been used to support that spiral enough to rough out that line with the jig saw. Not sure if you could find that foam cylinder, but a sheet, cut and turned would do it.

Acrylic BBQ ,let's see it !

Building the shape around a disposable container/barrel and doing the external carving while the barrel is inside, then just cut/destroy the barrel to extract it.

Would love it if instead of a spiral it had central post carved to look like a stalagmite

Would have been cool to have a long acrylic rod going into the bottom of the top down to an acrylic bottom in my opinion, would have been nicer that the little rectangles of acrylic. Do like the setting it alight thing tho

The finished piece pretty much equals in aesthetics that of the background music.

next time you have a spiral glue up like that try to find one of those cardboard tubes for cement that is the same diameter and build around it.

I feel like"Woodworking Terminology Groove" is some type of T shirt opportunity.

This would have been just as cool if you put a post in the middle with some kind of base, and more stable. Either way, super cool. Definitely gives me some ideas

ideas: floating dining table (big 6 or 8 seater) - really push the limits of the floating mechanism a "floating" light/lamp of some sort (either on the ground or .... even better, -hanging- floating from the ceiling!) floating bench (like a park bench) finally... a floating staircase (though that might be a bit... ambitious)

Using a cement form tube in the center might have provided support while gluing and shaping up. Then remove after the work is done?

Good

Could you build it around a large cardboard tube for initial stability so that when you clamp it there is an opposing force other than the small face of touching pieces ?

The groove around the top that accepts the inset or insert is called a rabbit unless you were in England or Australia or it’s called a rebate

What about a couple of epoxied metal rods?

I didn't know Will Sasso has woodworking channel.

You guys are crazy cool. Took another risk and it paid off because it is outside the box and awesome. Question, what is the reason to burn the acrylic?

Halloween themed cave furniture btw that table would be awesome with a matching base spiralling to the top

I feel like the most stable way to do it, if you want to do full wood, would be to construct it with horizontal layers rather than vertical - and the best way I can think to do that is plywood. So maybe take a sheet of 1/4 or 1/2 inch, create a template for a maybe 2 inch thick arch of whatever length the math says works for your shape.... trace and cut them out cookie-cutter style from the ply sheet, and glue them together in the same step fashion, but shifted horizontally to the side with each piece added.... Then, instead of like 2 inches by 4 inches for surface area being glued between each piece of wood, you'd have like 2 inches by 10 or 12 inches, which should give you about 3 times the strength between layers. Would also make it a lot easier for you to use clamps while the glue is setting so you'd get a much stronger bond.

Did you think about joining the acrylic to the table using tenons? Would it work for this project? I think it'd look good to have the acrylic disappear into the wood rather than be offset and attached with screws.

@@John_Malecki I should've read the comments. Someone else already asked the same thing. Love your work.

Please recreate your first tensegrity piece, but updated. It'd be a nice little throwback. Using stronger cable, and off-setting the triangles by 60 degrees. Have the outside wires either angled outwards from the centre beams of the base towards the vertices of the top panel, or from the vertices of the bottom panel towards the vertices of the top panel (so each of the 3 vertex has 2 cables leading to it)

What type of jig saw was that, that you first tried shaping the base with?

You like floating things. You love to make clever floating illusions. Soooo.... you need to make some kind of sinking illusion thing. Perhaps a really solid looking table but the legs are hollow and filled with springs and when you put stuff on it it just concertinas down to the floor...

would it have worked better if you had drilled a counter sunk hole in the non glued side of the wood and screwed each piece together for added strength

Couldn't you insert dowels between each piece as you go for stability?
