ABOUT THIS VIDEO
When I started woodworking I built a table I called "The Spider Table". But it only had 4 legs. So I've always wanted to do an 8 legged version that looked more like a spider. Also I had lots of extra slab scraps laying around from past projects and I wanted to use some of them to build something cool.

    The people have spoken. After many comments, this table is officially the "Dead Spider Table". Now, if you want to build the original spider, or any of our other projects. Check out my woodworking plans here - www.foureyesfurniture.com/plans In other news. Several people have mentioned that it would have been cool if I made the table where it was "flippable" so the eventual customer could pick how they wanted it and swap it back and forth. Here is my answer for the reason I didn't do that: I actually thought about doing that. The problem is that flipping it over is WAY harder than you would think. Basically the floating tenons need to be pretty dang tight. In fact, I would have glued them in. To make it flippable I would NOT glue them in, But they still need to be very tight to function properly. And taking them in and out, you basically need to pull them out with pliers, and they are going to get really beat up looking even after one time of putting them in and taking them out. The other option would be to make them a bit loose so they go in and out more easily, but then the table would have the same problem I described towards the end of the video. Where putting weight on one end could potentially make the top want to lift out of position. So a cool idea. But not actually very practical.

    the default solution you went into would definitely not be very practical... so how would one engineer/design a more practical solution? i don't have an answer, but i reckon it would require a lot more work in the build, perhaps reinforcing the legs and making them much heavier so the detachable joints can be heavier duty and be magnetic or something. the corollary tho, is whether any future owner would actually flip the legs of the table over much, if ever.

    This is a good reason why paying attention to the details that people DON'T see is just as important as the ones that you DO see. Imagine if you'd not given as much care to the hub (as in typical use, it won't be seen). Flipping it over would expose the hub. And I agree... I immediately thought either "dead spider" or "Spider table for people that like spiders to be dead table" or "spider hiding after getting almost whacked with a slipper table" It's also giving me slight jellyfish vibes, if jellyfish had crustacean-like hard tentacles. I just realized that might be hard to visualize.

    I like the "dead spider" more, even if I'd consider it a "kissing M.J. spider table", but these are finesses... If you'd like to make it flippable, you could have used the same aluminum disks, but with one more hole, so that you can screw them to the top and to the base.

    Deff final ‘feet in the air’/‘dead spider’ layout is best. The legs now being recessed lets you sit closer to the table. Or walk near it without the danger - big danger for old curmudgeons like me - of tripping over a keg sticking out. Nicely engineered build. Sweet choice of lumber. Bravo.

    I am definitely on the same page. I believe the original design was way more dramatic, but the revised version is harmonic and "calm" in a way that doesn't attack your senses. The original would work for a particular kind of aesthetic, but it's not as versatile. And I agree that _if_ it should live up to its full potential then a glass top is definitely the way to go.

    My first concern (with prior experience) would be the possible tripping over the legs, or bumping them as I am getting to the couch or passing by, which might spill coffee or what not. Typically, I had to give coffee tables a wide berth due to that issue. After I saw the legs flipped, I figured that it would be better for those less coordinated (like me) and I think it does look better. I was with him when he said he would need glass to make the original design work, and I personally don't much mind the lack of the additional detail at 25:40 as it won't be seen unless you lift up the table, and would mean its little more than additional weight.

    That moment at 28:50 is very correct. How a piece of furniture looks changes on the vantage point. While standing, sitting or lying on the floor the table looks very different. I support your choice for inverting the legs, and if they were normally put then a glass top would be much better. Stunning result!

    I had a similar moment when I built a cocktail table from an old fiberglass diving board base. I knew I wanted a cantilever table, but for stability, I had the wider part of the base on the ground. It was ok, but not great. I flipped the base over (which is how it would be as a diving board) and it was perfect. It's coming up on a year now since I built it, and I still admire it all the time.

    Thank you for bringing up Aphantasia. It took me over 60 years to find out what it was that I found different in others. I was born with it, knew something was different but could never figure it out. When I brought it up to anyone they thought I was lying. So I lived with my, Aphantasia, deep depression and lots of drugs and alcohol growing up. Since recently learning of my Aphantasia I have relaxed and let it sink in. I now live a more relaxed life knowing what it is and how it greatly affected me all my life, I’m okay with it. Again thank you for letting me know and sharing. Mike😊

It doesn't bother me because I never could see images in my head, but was interesting to learn. You just taught me about Aphantasia. Went to look it up. It explains so much. I have struggled my whole life trying to find help with my atypical neurology. It doesn't really fit with ASD, ADHD, or OCD. Many similar symptoms but treatment never worked well. Will be 50 next year, who knows, maybe looking into this may make me finally at ease in my own mind.

    I was reading a book this last month that had a main character with aphantasia and what it was like and trying to describe it to other people. personally I don't know if I can picture things or if I am just remembering things I've already seen before and just recalling what it looked like. (or if I know I've previously seen it and my brain is telling me I know what it looks like since I saw it at one point before and "should" remember) p.s. your 3d models are awesome and a great visual and greatly appreciated.

    Thanks. Yeah, that's what is interesting. I definitely don't see anything in my head. But if I try to picture something. Even like...my wife's face. I know what it looks like and I can describe it. But still...there is no visual in my head.

    Really love listening to your voice and the combination of 3d modelling and shots to capture your progress. The AI art had continued to take away that pleasure. The first picture (picture of a computer) could be any screen, and I'm sure you can find some premade B-roll or clip art for the ad spot. Everything else was really not needed, or you could find CC free versions (eg Charlotte the pig & the spider)

    Excellent episode, Chris! I enjoyed your process narration. Sometimes more experienced Woodworkers/Makers leave that out. I have some international Architectural background in Design, plus was raised, initially, by my Grandfather, who was, like many working men of that time, had his personal shops. Me? I was set on a stool beside him asw he worked at his bench, and had one favorite word:, "why?". It has remained so since. Some say that I had n o experience then. Well, not my monkeys, not my circus. But, if , as you demonstrated nicely, understand that experience and knowledge can be shared openly, and yet to still be able to make your way, too, then voila... win-win! You did really nice work with your "scrabs" and their grain, and treatments. Also, Including all the changes, refinements, and even the 'reversals', made it "all of a piece", as they say, unified. For the Architect in me, "Form follows Function", or perhaps Function creates the Form [?]. It all works, and keep on at it, my friend. Cheers! 😎

    First time on this channel. For some reason I don't really care about the table, but watching the work flow and the narration was one of the most relaxing and inspiring things I have seen in ages. Reminded me of a Brian Eno concert I have seen in Berlin: As soon as it started I fell immediately asleep and when I woke up at the end, I felt so refreshed and energised like never before. Thanks for getting me close to that feeling!

    Funny you say that. About 8 years ago was when I first started making videos, and I had this pipe dream that the music that would be the background for these videos would be Music for Airports. I actually recorded my own music for my first video that was heavily inspired by that music since I knew I couldn't use the real stuff.

    Ha… yeah discovered I had aphantasia a few years ago. Similar experience: problems in class with teachers telling you to “picture this”. Similar design habits: model render builds before I make something. Absolutely amazed when I figured out people actually had pictures when they visualized things and not just formless thoughts and word clouds! Oh yeah, loved the build and video as well! Thank you as always!

    Great video! Always love some self-reflective honesty. ;) FWIW...regarding each of those various tables you talked about...in addition to being fun, each one is UNIQUE!! I think that's a key factor these days. Its hard to come up with unique and original ideas, and even if the idea is not original, being unique with your approach is tough. I think all the other tables to talked about were intriguingly unique, and I think that's a key factor for any aspiring woodworker to consider about their work.

    Thank you for liarhonesty on this. As a woodworker myself, I often realise that I'm too far into the project to change something right now. And in this situation, honestly, I would have hesitated to the point where I'm not sure what to do already. And the whole project would have been abandoned in the workshop for years because I wouldn't have known what to do to it to finish it the 'right' way. This video is a great example on why it's never too late to pivot. Even though I did really like the initial design more :) Thank you!

    I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. This is such excellent content for so many reasons ... high-quality furniture-making, patient instruction, self-deprecation, #dadjokes, super high production values, and perhaps most importantly, great storytelling. There's a through-line to each video that's such a solid way to ground everything else that's happening (in this case, it's the "I'm a liar" gambit). IMHO, it's one of the keys to what makes your videos so watchable and why I'm both glad (YAY! ANOTHER ONE!) and disappointed (DANG! WHEN WILL THERE BE MORE?) that you don't rush content onto the channel. Quality v. quantity and all that jazz. Thank you.
