It's a small table, I'm not sure what people think it wouldn't be good for. I'm confident it'll hold drinks and snacks. Unless you have children i can't see a problem with this
@@CraigGrant-sh3in exactly! There are plenty of other channels for sturdy and practical tables. If this isn’t impressive craftsmanship I don’t know what is!
Im no engineer or mathematician but you have to be an alien to create such perfect symmetry by eye. Its truly mind blowing. Dont sell it , it needs to be in an art museum. That was incredible to watch. Thank you
I’m pretty sure measurements are made, it ‘s just not obvious in the video. Creating something as intricate and symmetrical as this is difficult without measurement.
I’ve seen a lot of wood working videos on UA-cam… I mean a lot. This has to be one of the most incredible projects I’ve seen. I think you can give Frank Howarth a run for his money.
This table is a great representation of space time. It's the curbs in the woods that appear to stretch. He had a brilliant understanding of this as he made the build.
I was going to comment where do they teach this at until I read the comments and realized what he accomplished probably couldn't be taught and was pure genius at work.
As a mathematician and a hobbyist woodworker, I couldn't express the excitement and joy I got from watching you create this masterpiece. I feel like every physics department everywhere must have a table like this. I really hope you will get the attention you deserve, both from the woodworking and math communities here on UA-cam, and outside. Keep up the great content!
Very impressive! Please accept this compliment from an 84 year old retired cabinetmaker, your turning skill is remarkable and your lathe attachments are very ingenious.
Was anyone else totally sketched out by cylinder trimming on the table saw!? A real demonstration of a man who knows his craft! That is an amazing piece of furniture.
What got me was using a lathe with long sleeves and gloves on. That's a really bad day for everyone if anything attached to your body gets caught in one of those.
Having a HND inmechanical engineering, and 40 years in the trade, having worked with the most complicated multi axis machines, I take my hat off to your unique skill set. What a beautiful piece of craftamanship and art. There are no more words.
From an engineer and artist, I can honestly say that this is one of the most impressive pieces of work I have ever seen. Executed to utter perfection. An absolute masterpiece. Well done, my friend.
There is no denying that some of those veneer lines don't line up in the end. That is because perfection doesn't exist. This is an incredible feat to make, regardless.

My thoughts too. Like.. the amount of attention to details at the start you would need to have to get that result is impressive. Although happy accidents are just as awesome
As a woodworker of 30 years, I really appreciate the problem solving I observed here. That is a skill all to itself. And the dedication to complete a project like this when so much could go wrong. Definitely earned my subscription. Very well done
This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on UA-cam; the amount of hours you spent creating it and no doubt spent designing it in your head. Truly inspirational. Thank you so much for talking the extra time to film/edit it for others to see/learn from! Truly amazing!
I've never seen a woodworker get so mad on a video but it's nice to know not everything is so simple and easy as videos can make it look. Adds an extra layer to appreciate the hard work you put into it.
Feels like they really just need to prioritize managing their anger because they damn near came to destroying some of their clamps and the work piece. If you've never worked with hand clamps before they can be fiddly things and are only as useful as the user is creative, but getting so upset to start throwing the work piece over a glue up is startling behavior.
@@ChrisBri77on He knows his craft for sure but i was really put off by him hitting the ring clamps after one attempt. Like if youve tried a bunch and still cant get it thats frustrating for sure but this man turned to violence literally at attempt number one like that icks me tf out and i hope for their safety no one ever dates this man if hes that quick to get violent...
i have made furniture for many years, every part of this i can relate to.. painfull fingers , sore shoulders a brain which hurts dust in youre eyes..... one of the most incredible pieces of furniture I have ever seen.. you deserve all of our praise.. any one who has worked with wood will understand the incredible effort this took. simply the best i have seen. well done
You built this because you can , as someone who struggles to butt two pieces of wood together straight this work seems almost mystical , I salute your skill and patience.
There are only a few artisans who have a stunning mastery of geometry in real space, design and planning, order of operations, and execution of art with a concept behind it... these few produce creations that blow my mind consistently. Olivier, you are one of those! The result is always SO satisfying! Even if it takes some angry chucking about of things from time to time (thank you for the honesty of including that aspect) - SO worthwhile. Gorgeous!
Monsieur Gomis, You are to woodworking what Michelangelo is to sculpture! This table should be prominently displayed in a major museum of modern art. Well done, sir. C'est un magnifique chef d'oeuvre!
Dude! I’ve been a cabinet maker for over 40 years and I never even imagined A table like that. That’s absolutely stunning. I hope you enter that into some kind of competition. I’ll give you blue ribbon right away. Magnificent!. ✌️😎
I love that you started from the glued cubes such that the "glue lines" later form the parametrization grids of the deformed surface. Truly marvelous work!
This looks like from another world, imagine how this is being passed from generation to generation, because its unthinkable somebody would ever throw this out. It's timeless!
I say this with all sincerity. As a fan of classical music, the thing that always leaves me in awe is the fact that those composers heard all of those notes from a symphony of instruments in their heads before they wrote those magnificent works of art. As I watched you progress on this masterpiece, that was the one thing to which I kept returning! YOU SAW THIS IN YOUR MIND and brought it to life! BRAVISIMO Maestro! You are truly brilliant! That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed! BRAVO!!
You’d enjoy a lot of progressive metal’s composition as it’s structure and scales/modes are the most similar to that of classical music. I would try Vildhjarta or Meshuggah, Tool if you’re faint of heart.
I know nothing about woodworking, but that was absolutely incredible! Probably the coolest table I've ever seen. And an entertaining video that kept me watching all the way through!
My good sir, this is nothing short of magical and an astounding display of skill from start to finish, through solving the challenges, having endless patience, and never giving up. Anyone who says otherwise has undoubtedly never so much as set foot in a wood shop, much less actually attempted to make something. I have watched a *ton* of other woodworking and other similar maker videos over the years, and the level of creativity and effort put into pulling this off 100% takes the cake for me. I mean, I was impressed by the sheer concept of it from just the thumbnail before I was glued to watching it, and then you went and put a whole gaddam cherry TREE on top of it all with the infinity light in the wormhole - good call letting that be a complete surprise. Absolute master class 💪
Olivier is a certifiable maths and woodworking genius. Not only is the work astounding, just thinking of the idea puts him on a level all his own. This piece belongs in an art museum!
Thanks for including your failed clamp attempts when you got angry, never see that on youtube but it’s probably the most relatable bit for me😂 when you think you’ve done everything you can to prep and shit just doesn’t work perfectly how you imagined is such a pain lol. Incredible table you should be seriously proud, I thought your page had over 1million subscribers, I’m amazed you don’t (you’ll absolutely get there soon enough though with your creativity and execution👌)
While refreshing to see, as someone on the spectrum who is adverse to sudden loud noises and who watches these types of videos to relax when I'm stressed out..... I would have appreciated a clearer warning to take off my headphones or mute. 😕 I was really quite startled. I was 100% not expecting such visible emotion. Quite disturbing to me when I'm not expecting that kind of content incoming. "Clamping it got tricky" does nothing to inform that an emotional, loud outburst is incoming.... In a genre of video that is typically very methodical and chill to watch. I might expect that kind of outburst on a video called "Maker loses it while clamping wood for epic custom wormhole table".... But I'm also never in 1000 years going to click on a video like that because I do not enjoy rage content.
I mean, that was a super childish reaction to frustration. It's a gorgeous table and incredible work, but adults shouldn't literally throw objects and tantrums when they get frustrated. That's the kind of thing that people should check out therapy for: to learn better, more mature coping strategies. I wouldn't accept that behavior from one of my 11 year old math students.
Я пересмотрел очень много подобных видео, которые заслуживали похвалы, но только это побудило меня написать комментарий. Идея шикарная, исполнение идеальное, подача видеоматериала подробное и не перегружено. Судя по возрасту исполнителя у него в переди будет еще очень много не менее шикарных работ. Удачи тебе! Я получил массу удовольствия. Дерзай!
If I were a rich millionaire, THIS would be my home’s statement piece. You are so incredibly talented, it’s mindblowing. Keep up the outstanding work, man.
I would be surprised if there is a person out there that has never slammed something and yelled in their workshop area LOL!!! I think that woodworking has taught me to be very patient when a complex and frustrating problem occurs.
Seeing and reading the time, work, and sometimes frustration you put into this piece... when it was complete, I had tears. It was even better because you made this into a longer video so we got to see so much more of your skills (creating your own jigs was fascinating!). Everything I have watched you create has been beautiful, but this piece is your most amazing yet! Your editing skills and the adding of the text turned this into a story. Really enjoyed that! Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season and hope for the best for your channel going into the new year!!
This. Wow. This project reaches the physicist in me on a level that I cannot describe. This might be the best idea come to life I've seen. My inner physicist cried out Yes! This! Thank you
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in quite a while! I wasn't planning on spending another 30 minutes on UA-cam but I could not stop watching. Your skill level is very impressive!
As a Carpenter and joiner myself this is fantastic mate i love the way the lighter strips of wood bend a curve up the wormhole Truly a work of art , well done awesome !
I love these videos with minimal talk, just the absolutely NECESSARY words to explain a detail, the rest we can see; and if anyone sees this and not know too many thing, then enjoy it but you will not be a tool guy or carpenter.
I have worked as a carpenter for almost 20 years building residential homes. I’ve spent a fair amount of time doing mill work in a shop fabricating window/door trim packages and doing some cabinetry. This is arguably one of the most impressive examples of high level woodworking/art I have ever seen. The lathe work is mind blowing! All I could think when I saw him turning those pieces was “Jesus that looks really DANGEROUS!” 🤣
@@BrispyCinnaBlunts Agreed! I took wood shop a lifetime ago when I was in High School. Just turning an already straight piece of wood is a little nerve wracking. Seeing him take that chunk of glued pieces with edges everywhere and turning it literally made ME sweat watching the video…LOL! Balls that “CLANK”! I’ll stick to Kreg jig window/door trim assembly and basic millwork with a table saw, jointer and thickness planer and leave the lathe work to real professionals.
I love the design, did he have plans? Amazing. That said I hope he has good insurance. Working with gloves on the interior of a lathe is an absolute disaster waiting to happen. I watched this just hoping he survives long enough the finish the project.
I am actually speechless! I wish I had a fraction of your skill. The infinity lights in the throat of the wormhole was just the final chef's kiss to an already unbelievable work of art.
I’m utterly speechless! Everything from the concept to the execution is astounding. Your creativity in designing and building just the JIGS needed to create this masterpiece is of the highest level. As for the woodworking… I have no words! I just watched this on my iPad. I’m now going to watch it all over again on my big screen TV.
I was watching it in the microcinema of my mansion with 15 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, 4 kitchens, 3 swimming pools, a Starbucks, an underground garage for 7 cars, and a heliport.
Обалденно!!! Молодой человек, у Вас не просто золотые руки (они еще и растут откуда надо), светлая голова и неимоверное терпение... Настолько кропотливый труд! Изысканная неповторимая вещь)))
i watched that video, and i couldn't stop. My coffee went cold, my cigarette burnt without me smoking and my cats almost died because they were so hungry and i was not able to move until you finished it. This is the ultimate level of woodwork. thank you for sharing... 💜
Once you have seen plenty of woodworking videos of very skilled people on UA-cam, you think you have an idea of what master level woodworking looks like. Until you find somebody like you who is defining a whole new skill level above all that. I am amazed by what you have made!
It can definitely go both ways. Most woodworkers loathe sanding, and It definitely drives me crazy when I finish a pice and can't stop staring at the imperfections
Absolutely fantastic! The fact that the grid pattern was made to exist in the whole thickness of the layer, rather than just painted on, shows your remarkable skill... Made it beautiful to look at from every angle. Those people criticising the impracticality due to curve, are missing the whole point of this project. Was such worm whole concept possible to do in a furniture item such as a coffee table, and the answer was... "Hold my coffee!!" 👍👏☕💯%😎
Your engineering skills are incredible. Your woodworker skills are incredible . You’re combined package is at another level . That table deserves a name, such an incredible piece of craftsmanship and artwork
this is absolutely incredible. and the meticulously crafted details are what make it so impressive to me. it was a joy to watch your talent speak through this piece!
simply the most amazing wood-crafting video i've ever watched. maths meets art. and when we all thought the table had achieved its absolute perfection, you added the led light - WTAF? - brilliant idea! utterly stunning!
this is not a practical piece. This is a work of art worthy of any art gallery or museum. I am blown away at this triumph. You need to be super proud of your work.
WOW! I admit to not getting out and seeing what other wood creators are doing, I have never seen anything like this before. It takes my breath away. Thank you.
That’s stunning. I couldn’t just leave with only a thumbs up. I’m a metal guy and couldn’t help but notice how much your would lathe was starting to look like a metal lathe. 😊 Good on you for pining the DH.
Have watched several of your vids, and send them to my Dad, who loves woodwork, made things in wood as a hobby. He died September this year. Watching this in awe of your skills, with no one to share to! Merry Christmas (yeah, I have had a cry) wishing you good health, happiness and as much inspiration as you need, xx

@@theo5928 Basically, I hold a Bachelor of Science in the Department of Mathematics, and also a painter, calligrapher, graphic designer, and photographer.. Sometimes I need mathematics, such as determining the necessary angles, measuring the perimeter or area of an geometric figure, or imagining the golden ratio with its approximate arithmetic proportions at work, and so on.
This is by far the most impressive thing I’ve ever watched a person do, I was amazed every step of the way at the amount of thought, detail, time, & ingenuity that went into this project, absolutely beautiful work!
You had my full attention for the whole video. The narration was great, and including American measurements is appreciated. The table is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
You deserve an award for this piece. The amount of thought that went into this is amazing. Not to mention the sanding!! The best woodworking piece I’ve seen yet
I would need at least 140 just for planning a project like this, then maybe 1000 to second guess every step along the way and measure everything about 50times while it’s being made, then about 200hours of cooling off time because it’s not going to plan.
You’ve done a masterful job in every respect. The video captures your process along with problem solving and your finished product belongs in a museum. I’ve been working wood forty plus years and marvel at your craftsmanship! This popped up on my UA-cam feed and I’m delighted it did. Subscribed! 😊❤
If you aren't a multi-millionaire you SHOULD be. With all the cheap and fast crap out there, you are truly an artist and craftsman. Incredible job as usual sir.
This is brilliant! I'm not a carpenter or wood worker, but for what it's worth I think its bloody brilliant. It must be great to have so much praise from your peers etc. Thanks!
Not to mention the table, which is incredibly beautiful, the video itself is a work of art! What an impeccable job! You are a true artist. Congratulations with all the strength that word can contain. A big hug from Brazil!
I am awe struck by the beauty and uniqueness of this creation. This deserves to be featured at MOMA as incredible realization of the concept and breathtaking woodworking! Just wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for including your failed clamp attempts when you got angry, never see that on youtube but it’s probably the most relatable bit for me😂 when you think you’ve done everything you can to prep and shit just doesn’t work perfectly how you imagined is such a pain lol. Incredible table you should be seriously proud, I thought your page had over 1million subscribers, I’m amazed you don’t (you’ll absolutely get there soon enough though with your creativity and execution👌)
He looked like a dumb ass throwing his tools and workpiece around. Oliver are you an adult or twelve?
The way he throws his shit hahaha
I'll second this, to include the frustration made it more real than any other DIY vid I've seen in a while.
While refreshing to see, as someone on the spectrum who is adverse to sudden loud noises and who watches these types of videos to relax when I'm stressed out..... I would have appreciated a clearer warning to take off my headphones or mute. 😕
I was really quite startled. I was 100% not expecting such visible emotion. Quite disturbing to me when I'm not expecting that kind of content incoming.
"Clamping it got tricky" does nothing to inform that an emotional, loud outburst is incoming.... In a genre of video that is typically very methodical and chill to watch. I might expect that kind of outburst on a video called "Maker loses it while clamping wood for epic custom wormhole table".... But I'm also never in 1000 years going to click on a video like that because I do not enjoy rage content.
I mean, that was a super childish reaction to frustration. It's a gorgeous table and incredible work, but adults shouldn't literally throw objects and tantrums when they get frustrated. That's the kind of thing that people should check out therapy for: to learn better, more mature coping strategies. I wouldn't accept that behavior from one of my 11 year old math students.
Я пересмотрел очень много подобных видео, которые заслуживали похвалы, но только это побудило меня написать комментарий. Идея шикарная, исполнение идеальное, подача видеоматериала подробное и не перегружено. Судя по возрасту исполнителя у него в переди будет еще очень много не менее шикарных работ. Удачи тебе! Я получил массу удовольствия. Дерзай!
Надеюсь щипцы идут в комплекте, доставать из выемки всякие мелкие вещи
@@fantomehidden605 такой стол не для бытового употребления, доставать не придётся
If I were a rich millionaire, THIS would be my home’s statement piece. You are so incredibly talented, it’s mindblowing. Keep up the outstanding work, man.
This is the most fantastic piece of woodworking I've ever seen. (And it's nice to see that you're human and have melt-downs like the rest of us. 🙂)
Sincerelly, I wasn't expected Olivier's melt-downs to extend beyond verbal... :)
I would be surprised if there is a person out there that has never slammed something and yelled in their workshop area LOL!!! I think that woodworking has taught me to be very patient when a complex and frustrating problem occurs.
Seeing and reading the time, work, and sometimes frustration you put into this piece... when it was complete, I had tears. It was even better because you made this into a longer video so we got to see so much more of your skills (creating your own jigs was fascinating!). Everything I have watched you create has been beautiful, but this piece is your most amazing yet!
Your editing skills and the adding of the text turned this into a story. Really enjoyed that! Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season and hope for the best for your channel going into the new year!!
Thank you very much for the kind words and the support!
Happy holidays
@@Mortarman0341 🤣
This. Wow. This project reaches the physicist in me on a level that I cannot describe. This might be the best idea come to life I've seen. My inner physicist cried out Yes! This! Thank you
I have to agree: the design of fixtures and jigs is this arcane art of its own.
Moar pleaz!
The concept alone is incredible. The execution is next level. Congratulations!
👍👍
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in quite a while! I wasn't planning on spending another 30 minutes on UA-cam but I could not stop watching. Your skill level is very impressive!
As a Carpenter and joiner myself this is fantastic mate i love the way the lighter strips of wood bend a curve up the wormhole Truly a work of art , well done awesome !
Ditto!
This would have already been a masterpiece without the LEDs but they add another level of awesome to it! Amazing.
“Awesome” is definitely the right word. I already knew it would be gorgeous, but when I saw it with the lights I was literally in awe.
Actually, the LEDs add another "DIMENTION" 🤣
Where art, craftsmanship, ingenuity and dedication collide! Quite simply the most stunning table I have ever seen 👏🏻
Phenomenal build. I've been a woodbutcher/carpenter my entire life and never seen anything like this. Hats off to you dude 🤙
I'm not a woodworker, artist or engineer. But I do watch a lot of woodturning videos. They're always beautiful. This is another level.
I have obsessed over woodworking my entire life, and this is probably one of the most incredible things I've ever seen
I love these videos with minimal talk, just the absolutely NECESSARY words to explain a detail, the rest we can see; and if anyone sees this and not know too many thing, then enjoy it but you will not be a tool guy or carpenter.
I have worked as a carpenter for almost 20 years building residential homes. I’ve spent a fair amount of time doing mill work in a shop fabricating window/door trim packages and doing some cabinetry. This is arguably one of the most impressive examples of high level woodworking/art I have ever seen. The lathe work is mind blowing! All I could think when I saw him turning those pieces was “Jesus that looks really DANGEROUS!” 🤣
Takes balls to put something huge you glued together on a lathe
@@BrispyCinnaBlunts Agreed! I took wood shop a lifetime ago when I was in High School. Just turning an already straight piece of wood is a little nerve wracking. Seeing him take that chunk of glued pieces with edges everywhere and turning it literally made ME sweat watching the video…LOL! Balls that “CLANK”! I’ll stick to Kreg jig window/door
trim assembly and basic millwork with a table saw, jointer and thickness planer and leave the lathe work to real professionals.
Yeah. When he was turning i got a pit in my stomach. Scary. I've never seen anyone turning something like that.
My main thought was "how would you know you still have enough thickness turning the inside of the hole" but the dude just absolutely nails it freehand
I love the design, did he have plans? Amazing. That said I hope he has good insurance. Working with gloves on the interior of a lathe is an absolute disaster waiting to happen. I watched this just hoping he survives long enough the finish the project.
I am actually speechless! I wish I had a fraction of your skill.
The infinity lights in the throat of the wormhole was just the final chef's kiss to an already unbelievable work of art.
I’m utterly speechless!
Everything from the concept to the execution is astounding. Your creativity in designing and building just the JIGS needed to create this masterpiece is of the highest level. As for the woodworking… I have no words!
I just watched this on my iPad. I’m now going to watch it all over again on my big screen TV.
I was watching it in the microcinema of my mansion with 15 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, 4 kitchens, 3 swimming pools, a Starbucks, an underground garage for 7 cars, and a heliport.
Обалденно!!! Молодой человек, у Вас не просто золотые руки (они еще и растут откуда надо), светлая голова и неимоверное терпение... Настолько кропотливый труд! Изысканная неповторимая вещь)))
что это такое он сделал?
Words can't do justice to the masterpiece that you've created. This is simply priceless!
👍👍👍
i watched that video, and i couldn't stop. My coffee went cold, my cigarette burnt without me smoking and my cats almost died because they were so hungry and i was not able to move until you finished it.
This is the ultimate level of woodwork.
thank you for sharing... 💜
my cat watchet it with me :-)
cats are the devil :P
I ate my cat while watching this.
Cats almost die if their bowl is empty for 1 sec. So I feel your pain. Haha
Only a perfectionist can do this work with that level of detail. Hats off bro!
The most impressive example of craftmanship I have ever seen. Amazing!
Your skills are in the top 1% of woodworkers. Incredible design and execution.
Once you have seen plenty of woodworking videos of very skilled people on UA-cam, you think you have an idea of what master level woodworking looks like. Until you find somebody like you who is defining a whole new skill level above all that. I am amazed by what you have made!
The sheer amount of vision required to make this work is truly incredible. You're an artist of the highest caliber.
Mathématiques, physique quantique et ébénisterie d'art. Vous méritez à la fois la medaille Field+ le Nobel et d'être élu MOF. Chapeau bas❤❤
6:53 Wood working is such a relaxing thing.
🤣
It can definitely go both ways. Most woodworkers loathe sanding, and It definitely drives me crazy when I finish a pice and can't stop staring at the imperfections
should have left it out. ruined the video for me.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@KurisuDE too bad humans aren't perfect, we all feel frustration at times, not everything is about you.
Absolutely fantastic! The fact that the grid pattern was made to exist in the whole thickness of the layer, rather than just painted on, shows your remarkable skill... Made it beautiful to look at from every angle. Those people criticising the impracticality due to curve, are missing the whole point of this project. Was such worm whole concept possible to do in a furniture item such as a coffee table, and the answer was... "Hold my coffee!!" 👍👏☕💯%😎
Your engineering skills are incredible.
Your woodworker skills are incredible .
You’re combined package is at another level .
That table deserves a name, such an incredible piece of craftsmanship and artwork
Let's call it Olivier's wormhole or Gomis wormhole !…
Ive been calling it lil' Jeffy
Not only an incredible woodworker but a true artist. 👏
Incroyable, magnifique travail, un vrai chef d'oeuvre, bravo !!
Most unique table I have ever seen
this is absolutely incredible. and the meticulously crafted details are what make it so impressive to me. it was a joy to watch your talent speak through this piece!
No doubt this is the best project to date! This needs to be in a museum brother!🫵
I was thinking a physics department.
I was thinking a dumpster.
simply the most amazing wood-crafting video i've ever watched. maths meets art.
and when we all thought the table had achieved its absolute perfection, you added the led light - WTAF? - brilliant idea! utterly stunning!
this is not a practical piece. This is a work of art worthy of any art gallery or museum. I am blown away at this triumph. You need to be super proud of your work.
WOW!
I admit to not getting out and seeing what other wood creators are doing, I have never seen anything like this before. It takes my breath away. Thank you.
No clamps were injured in the making of this video.
What a monster of a lathe and incredible amount of careful planning! What a masterpiece.
By far the most unique peace of furniture I've ever seen on UA-cam, it really shows how skilled you're
That’s stunning. I couldn’t just leave with only a thumbs up.
I’m a metal guy and couldn’t help but notice how much your would lathe was starting to look like a metal lathe. 😊
Good on you for pining the DH.
Cette table n'est pas une pièce de musée, c'est un chef-d'oeuvre intemporel. INCROYABLE
Have watched several of your vids, and send them to my Dad, who loves woodwork, made things in wood as a hobby. He died September this year. Watching this in awe of your skills, with no one to share to! Merry Christmas (yeah, I have had a cry) wishing you good health, happiness and as much inspiration as you need, xx
My Adhd fought hard to watch this but i thank you for showing me your gift
As a graphic designer and a mathematician I enjoyed your work second by second You are so generous to share this creative work with us, You are pure talent, greetings from Egypt
As a fellow graphic designer, I'm curious where mathematics fits into your practice?
@@theo5928 Basically, I hold a Bachelor of Science in the Department of Mathematics, and also a painter, calligrapher, graphic designer, and photographer.. Sometimes I need mathematics, such as determining the necessary angles, measuring the perimeter or area of an geometric figure, or imagining the golden ratio with its approximate arithmetic proportions at work, and so on.
This is by far the most impressive thing I’ve ever watched a person do, I was amazed every step of the way at the amount of thought, detail, time, & ingenuity that went into this project, absolutely beautiful work!
You had my full attention for the whole video. The narration was great, and including American measurements is appreciated. The table is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
You deserve an award for this piece. The amount of thought that went into this is amazing. Not to mention the sanding!!
The best woodworking piece I’ve seen yet
I'm speechless! It needs to be in a museum! This needs to win every award there is. Absolutely seamless, and the grid.... No words!
A real piece of art! Not just the table itself, but all the planning and execution as well 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is the most incredible table I’ve ever seen! I hate to even call it a table. It’s a masterpiece!
Whoa what? You created this masterpiece in 140 hours? Does anyone else think that's bonkers? I was thinking more like 1000+ hours.
I would need at least 140 just for planning a project like this, then maybe 1000 to second guess every step along the way and measure everything about 50times while it’s being made, then about 200hours of cooling off time because it’s not going to plan.
it doesn't look like a table, I thought it was a urinal🤭
You realize that 1000 hours is a full time job for 6 months right? Are you insane ? XD
@@LazyEngineerElitei could easily believe that this took six months
140 hours is only 2.5 weeks when working 8 hour days which seems like nowhere near enough time! Incredible😮
You’ve done a masterful job in every respect. The video captures your process along with problem solving and your finished product belongs in a museum. I’ve been working wood forty plus years and marvel at your craftsmanship! This popped up on my UA-cam feed and I’m delighted it did. Subscribed! 😊❤
If you aren't a multi-millionaire you SHOULD be. With all the cheap and fast crap out there, you are truly an artist and craftsman. Incredible job as usual sir.
This is brilliant! I'm not a carpenter or wood worker, but for what it's worth I think its bloody brilliant. It must be great to have so much praise from your peers etc. Thanks!
I’ve never seen it’s equal.. nicest table ever made by a human… Hands Down.. BRAVO!!!
Waouh, un chef d'œuvre unique et grandiose, je suis épatée !!!
Un énorme BRAVO à toi Olivier, tu es formidable 👍👏👍👏❤️
Not to mention the table, which is incredibly beautiful, the video itself is a work of art! What an impeccable job! You are a true artist. Congratulations with all the strength that word can contain. A big hug from Brazil!
I am awe struck by the beauty and uniqueness of this creation. This deserves to be featured at MOMA as incredible realization of the concept and breathtaking woodworking! Just wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
You, sir, are a genius. I have no idea how you calculated what had to be done to achieve what you did. I take my hat off to you. An absolutely stunning table. Work of the highest order.
