    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 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!

    @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!

    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.

    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!

    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)
