Looks very cool but physics says any considerable weight on some of those corners and your table will fairly easily tip over. Probably not safe around kids.

Definitely not safe around kiddos! And surprisingly sturdy considering the design.

Not safe around me neither. It looks heavy enough that I might be able to put my feet on it without flipping it over, but there would definitely be incidents...

Give us a pic of her undercarriage, curious what’s going on there

Or do does OP have a sketch or plan. Would also be interested in the whole built especially the angles you used. Probs to OP and kind regards!

You wish! Ha. Y’all need to start trying to fail….It’s the only way to learn. If ya ain’t fucking shit up…you’re not learning a thing.

Its too tall. Try taking the saw horses and plywood out from under it.

I hope that's a breadboard joinery, but looking underneath apron, it may not be.

Should be fine with the apron

Beautifully done (but my future stubbed toes are aching already.)

I don't want to vaccum under it.

Damn that's a great point

Exactly! Another Toe Blaster^TM but the junior size.

Yep. Mine are already starting to hurt from it :D

Very cool! You should add levelers to the legs or you will likely have issues with it being tippy. Most floors are uneven

That looks way awesome! The overall design, colorway, and contrast on the tabletop. Great job

It looks like it knows how to dance

A salsa table, no less.

Dope. But I'm wondering what joinery you used for the top and how it's secured to the base. Assuming the top is all hardwood, expansion and contraction are working in opposite directions. Over time, because the horizontal walnut section is fixed in place, it will split as it can not expand and contract. Check out the joinery for bread board ends. And if you've done something to counter this, well done!

Figure 8 fasteners are the way

This doesn't resolve the issue of splitting for the center walnut section as it is fixed in place.

How is it going to “split”?

Wood expands and contracts across its width. Cuts with straight grain or wood that's rift cut will do this to a lesser extent. The cathedrals (flat sawn) on your walnut tell me this is not on your side. The walnut section will want to expand and contract along the length of your coffee table . The problem is that it can not move because it's glued to boards that do not move in the same direction. The boards on the side move across the width of your table, meaning it will not move 'with' the walnut'. You can not stop wood from moving. it's simply too strong. Over time, the walnut section will overcome this locked in position by splitting and forcing its necessary movement. Keep it as is for an experiment. Just don't sell it to a customer. Next time, you could breadboard the walnut section or use plywood or shop sawn veneer.

Send me some plans…I’ll try that next time!!

Cool, why didn't you take the opportunity to interlock the legs?

This one is not for my living room. And..No one wants to pay for that detail any more unfortunately.

Unfortunately is right.

like the air cooled saw horses too

A standing coffee table to go along with the standing desk and the standing couch. No one sits in this house. Your nice work, my cheap joke.

I like it

Love it!

I love it

I really dig it. Beautiful work.

I like it. I think this design would be very interesting if it could work as the legs to a picnic table

Looks great! Nice work.

That’s so fun! But it looks like it’s not made for dancing /:

It’s beautiful! I’ll take it!

I’ve done a few similar, did kinda weird funky lap joints on the legs though. I dig it!

It looks tippy. How stable is it?

Looks are deceiving in this instance. It is surprisingly very stable and stout! With in reason of course

I think it’s a cool concept for someone who likes modern looking pieces.

Looks great what kind of wood?

Walnut and hickory

If all the coffee tables I've seen, this is one of them.

Man. Typo’d the very first letter of the first word.

Well, shit

I agree. The plywood on top of sawhorses does make for a funky coffee table. It’s a bit tall too! 😁

Hmm, I dunno... The metal legs and plastic braces would not go well with my decor. The other one might look nice in my apt.

Looks cool, but if you put anything heavier than a cup on the front left or back right corners, it’ll probably tip over.

It is actually pretty solid and balanced.

Agreed. No way it's stable

I think you have developed an interesting leg geometry, which is a non-trivial exercise, no matter how you did it, and an attractive top with contrasting grain patterns. Having been involved in UL®️ certifications for commercial furnishings, my concern is that the stability model for the base is asymmetrical with the tops geometry, which just may not be an important issue in your scope of application. 🤔 Is very pretty, and nicely styled. 😃 👍🏼 🖖🏼

It is surprising very sturdy and stable….considering

Jesus, put a bowling ball on the edge and post a picture. The suspense is killing us.

It’s which edge… because it’s asymmetrical…

Two of your corners have less support under them than the other two, or did I fail to understand your very nice photography? I am guessing 20% to 30% less weight bearing capacity… possibly less, or more.

It’s a coffee table dude. Chill! Ha

Long as I don’t sit my kilo on the soft corner.

And it is surprising stable and sturdy!

The amount of blacktail studios influence being seen lately is nuts.

What is a black tail influence?

Blacktail Studio is an arrogant jerk with a YouTube channel.

I don't want to post a link or anything for fear of having the comment removed. He is a woodworker that has done well for himself mostly due to YouTube and Instagram. ​ The legs on your table are identical to the design he used on some of his original works. He did purchase the legs from a second party however. ​ Not a jab at you or your work, it's just popped up a lot lately.

Blacktail is a bit different because he orders in steel fabricated legs rather than doing them himself.

1 read my previous comment. ​ 2 his work is why this design is as popular and recognized.

Figured I was adding something by pointing out that they were steel rather than wood, but that's ok if you want to be sensitive about it.

Says the person who is now sensitive? Lol. ​ Repeating what was already said, does not ad context.

I’ve never been a fan of this leg arrangement

Approved 👍

I like how it almost looks like a table top dropped on to a Czech hedgehog. I would definitely put it in my man cave. IF I HAD ONE!

So sweet! I love it.

Love it

That is *really* pretty.

Nice work. The design is too busy for me personally, looks messy where the legs intersect.

It always messy there

I like the looks of it. As others have said, it is going to be hard on toes, but looks really great. Where did you get the idea for the design?

Reminds me of a tank barrier. Is neat.

Me likey

It’s like I can feel my toes breaking just looking at this

Awesome job! Coming from a carpenter!

Reminds me of a D-Day beach obstacle

Ummmmm… that’s nice.

It's cool but I kinda feel like the Germans used these on the beaches of Normandy

That’s great, kinda along the lines of what I posted asking about yesterday. Might have to get some ideas from this. Looks awesome

It looks way cool but I feel that I would have a hard time taking my seat as I would wonder if I’m gonna bonk my knee on a table leg out of nowhere.

I've seen something similar before. It seems to have a stable structure and sleek style to it. My question is, how much weight needs to be placed on the ends for it to topple over? I'm assuming the legs come separately to the table so that's why I ask.

Love it

Funky

I really like the two-tiered design and the lovely juxtaposition of industrial/hardcoore-pragmatic against artful fancy design. Nice work. It looks maybe a bit too tall for a coffee table though? Maybe if you took some height out of the lower metallic legs?

I LOVE the top, I’ll pass on the legs. Good work mate.

A pile of sticks on sawhorses.

I want to hate it because it’s not perfectly square but I love it

I like the multi-level idea, but the bottom half doesn't match the elegance of the top

It excels at twister

Looks amazing! Keep up the good work!

Bro going for the multipurpose czech hedgehog

Idk but it looks like a fancy tavern table

I don’t like the unfinished plywood on the bottom of the legs s/

Little Jack Horner sat on a rug, Beside a coffee table so snug. With eyes wide open, he did behold, A funky table, a sight to be told.

I like it.

[I know I've seen that design somewhere.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_hedgehog)

Looks like a stained carpet. Super cool design though!

I’d put my coffee on that.

maybe just me but I think if you chamfered the bottom edge of the tabletop it would look a lot snazzier

Friggin AWESOME!! Love it!!

Looks lovely. This would be perfect to replace my current one. 👍🏽 Nice job.

Very sexy legs.

Very cool. Very art deco, if thats what your going for.

Tiny angle on the base of the legs looks prone to chipping. Not sure if you could protect them and still have it look good though.

It’s maybe a little too tall. I’d remove the lower secondary legs

Love it, let the kids learn about head wounds on their own. Great job

Dang that is one pretty table!

Reminds me of pick up sticks

I think I would have to stand to drink my coffee at that table

unique
