  • 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

    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

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 :)

    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!

  • @stevejez
    @stevejez 3 роки тому

    Izzy, how about using a pair of collets in the top connection, they could be as long as the thickness of the top plate, or even a little more. They would grip the entire circumference of the rope & pull tighter the more pressure that's applied by the tension. It would be a fit once though & no chance of taking it apart to paint or finish it. I know you could make them. Keep well from the UK.

    You might want to give the ends of the string some Titebond; I believe that will give it some more strength. =)
    I bet this will inspire people to build benches with 4 strings and a lot of other fun stuff.

    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.
