Yes, for tiny houses, but for any craft corner, an excellent sewing cabinet, accessible in minutes...machine (the heavy part) on the bottom with felt glides, outlet inside so machine could stay plugged in, plastic shoe boxes on shelves for notions (sideways), and puts away in seconds without lifting. LOVE it!

Izzy is a genius. I don’t know what else to say.

You are the poster boy for working smarter, not harder. The music helps too. Love it!

I wish all men are as handy like this genius guy. Very functional.

the red shirt guy is what I did for a living! the boredom was unexplainable! building furniture! saw catch! thanks for the vids, I've learned alot

Currently renovating the wife's laundry room and this will work great as a fold down folding table for clothes as they come out of the dryer. Thanks for the idea.

The correct term is counterbore. To countersink is to make the head of a screw flush to the surface. To counterbore is to recess the head of a screw below the surface. Cool build. As someone who has had to live in a limited space environment most of my life a shelving system like that is a great solution.

I'm a bit late to the party but my skills have reached the point where I am ready to tackle some really fun stuff to build instead of standard cabinets and while I don't have a tiny home I don't have a lot of space. Your build gave me an idea for a cabinet that I can hang on the back of a door that is always left open and instead of an ugly ironing board hanging there I can turn that table into an ironing table with a quick trip to Joann's for a heat resistant mat that I can roll up and I can store my iron and all the other accessories that I use when doing laundry. Thank you.

According to my 'Murican partner, we need these in EVERY British house because the rooms are so f-ing small! Love this build and looking forward to the alternative. Great ideas from fellow disabled folk in the comments too! +1 for some counterweights or springs to control folding out/in

I cannot even imagine what goes on in your head when the video pauses. Amazing.

I’m about to convert my box trailer into a small camper for hunting season. This is an addition I will be putting in. It is super slick.

Idea for skipping the pin slot when the shelf is fully raised. Inset a strong magnet in the side rails and then in the side of the cabinet box, they 'click' together when the shelves are fully raised. Genius build, like all beautiful things it is fun just to see it in action

I sent this vid to my daughter who has built a simple fold down table for her little home nail salon. I think she'll like this. tx.

Bobs yer auntie... Cockford Ollie identity confirmed. 👍😉

Fun idea - made me think of a tiny office. Make the cabinet deeper than the shelves and mount a monitor at the back of the cabinet behind the fold-down shelving. Or put the shelves on the doors, fold down flat table being those in the cabinet and monitor behind that. Would provide usable storage whilst using the surface. :-)

My head hurts after watching your how to videos. There are a lot of creative videos out there but yours are on a genius level. Please keep cranking your ideas out to us sloped head woodworkers. Tim

Hey izzy awesome build! I’m a pro wood carver and one thing that always happens in a project of any size is I have a mess of tool lying everywhere. I think I could use this by my work station to double as a place to lay my tools as needed and to tuck them away when I’m done for the day!! I love it

Good idea, makes sense as a station for a particular activity. An extra shelf at the top that butts up to the top of the cabinet and can't hold anything would be the empty work space when dropped.

Sometimes KZfaq gives you gems, thank you Izzy.

I'm sure glad to see you moving around again. Every week you get better. Good to go..

Look awesome! I wouldn’t even worry about the cabinet. Just mount it to the wall! Use it as a display shelf.

Cool idea! How about putting "floating" shelves in the cabinet ( just above the fold out shelves) to put the paint cans on, then when the fold out shelves come down, you have an empty table to work on, and all the paints are within reach. Or cans of beans or what ever. You'd still have to clean the table off to put it away.

Very cool. Narrowboaters in the UK should know about this.

The ones that give you thumbs down are the ones who are going to copy it and make a profit. Good luck. great ideas.

Absolutely love it. As chance would have it I am at a stage where I am contemplating a kitchen table. I hate doors. There is something horribly Freudian about them. They lead to cupboards then who knows where. Seriously though they get in the way are are constantly blocking you in a restricted environment you cant just walk around them. Bane of tiny space living. The cabinet is over engineered, Man its blast proof. Food for thought. Many Thanks..

Izzy the bit you are using is a counterboring bit & your wour is impecable as Normal.I really like the way you are encouraging your followers to actively participate in the final decision making. Keep up your magical and enlightening work.

At first, I'm thinking this is cool but not very practical but then when you got to the end of it and demonstrated it I saw the real genius behind the idea that is very awesome man very awesome indeed

8:34 Great use for Speed Tape that I hadn't thought of before. Great design and multiple functions. You da man!

Great idea and nice video, I'm going to do this in my garage. Might even make one for my wife for her craft stuff. I would make one adjustment and that would be adding nylon washers in between the the moving wood part's, that way the wood doesn't wear out.

What a great idea for a limited space👍👍. This would be an ideal for a bedroom with an extra closet to make a false storage area Behind your folding table. Makes a Great make-up vanity for the wife and behind it.A false wall for a large gun safe or heirlooms in jewelry stuff. If you critique it and make it far more eye appealing you will have high end customers interest in this. This is a great idea even in the garage or instant bar In the living room for entertaining👍👍

Like this one,but i am keeping an open mind,but this one would be nice,even in a small shop as well. Great job...now i want subway....lol

While watching i kept thinking...his flaw in a folding shelf/table is you're going to have to move everything to fold down the table.....he faked me out!!! Good build!

drill holes on the right side of the planks, to store screwdrivers and the likes. When flat, the left side acts as a work surface. Briliant little idea btw. Briliant

Nothing short of genius.

I am a van lifer and this is awesome! Great idea!!!

What a fabulous design, and thanks for sharing. Perfect for my van build.

That’s a great idea, think I’ll use that in my tiny workshop, but modify it with 2 pulley handles which can act as legs, and put a magnet on the back of the shelf to hold it up

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar! Here, here.

I would suggest making the shelves 2 planks thick, and then only have the bottom ones fold out to be the table, and leave the top ones with all the storage in the wall mount. This way when you fold out you have an empty table instead of having to clear all things of first.

That's as cool as your bookshelf like it , I think it's awesome, I'll save the link and spread it around as I can think about it wherever it seems appropriate.

Izzy you are my favorite wood worker because you're very brilliant

Very clever design, as Gail says you are a modern day Leonardo Da Vinci, and I whole heartedly agree! Great job brother. Miss you man

Beautiful! Both the shelves and the fact that you'd welcome a Tiny Home project "in your backyard". So many people wouldn't. 😍

For ultimate room in a TINY house this unit NEEDS to be a built in unit !

Mason jars on the bottom of the shelves. Then they hang under the table when lowered but it’s still usable storage when up. May need to space the shelves out a little more to access the jars when up.

Neat build. Maybe a set of small wings that tuck under the cabinet to take some of the weight off of the shelf supports when it's extended.

Super creative very versatile; I would prefer that prototype

Thank you this is the table that I'm finding for my room

Your prototyping wood looks to be of better quality than any of the "good" wood that I have in my shop.

Man you such a Natural for a Tiny House project with all their Folding technology! I LOVE that folding movable stuff and i cant think of someone as good as you to do it!!

That’s exactly what I’m wanting in my little camper/trailer home. Thanks I’ll try it. If I fail I’ll just buy yours. LoL

Tambour doors will free up some space but it might go thicker. The less sexy side is make the doors fold down for the table top and the shelves stay in place. But I was digging the music. Wish you’d linked to it. I’ll have to look it up.

Very cool! I'm thinking a narrow full-length table squeezed in beside the shelf-table for most quick meals without any clearing away of cups, etc... Added benefit would be a wider overall table when both are flipped down for game night!

Awesome idea! For better stability you could have legs that fold down from the top shelf.

This is just beyond awesome. Pure beauty in its simplistic engineering and functionality.

Hi Izzy can you put a t- slide out on the the bottom of the cabinet to get the table or shelfes to move out a little more. Nice build

That’s awesome Izzy and they do say the first idea is usually the best.

в маленькой мастерской такой шкаф просто необходим, спасибо за видос

I like this concept, I'm excited to see what the other one is. I would probably want something like this but with 3 shelves that are a little deeper to easily fit a full sized plate or laptop on maybe? That way it could be stored away when not needed/used, an minimize the space needed for dish storage.

Great concept. For a tiny house this is going to be hard to beat. Will decide after next video.

Fashioned after your greenhouse shelves, very cool.

This product is so cool so versatile comes with amazing accessories very useful for all projects. Considering all that it can do it’s priced very well.

What a great shop, and excellent tools, for your drop table/shelf, you could could have a swing arm on the bottom, for support, but cupboard door as a drop down table is way better, than moving everything on the shelf

I guess I would see this type of build being more useful for overhead storage that folds down to shelves full of stuff and just have a regular fold down table. To make this deep enough to hold dishes like plates it’s really going to need to stick out of the wall and eat up the space in the tiny house.

Good music choice in this one. Glad to see you cranking stuff out.

amazing build as all ways

It’s called the future love the creativity

Awesome project and great video, brother. Maybe put a few strong magnets on the backside of top shelf to keep it from freely falling down when opening doors. Keep up the awesome work though. 👍

Very clever.Of course.Looking forward to next one

I love the music , perfect

Ich bin begeistert, Du bist ein absolut genialer Handwerker!

I love this project. Going to be hard to beat that one.

I'm making your Worm boxws with my grandson Logan! I'll send pic's as we work on it soon. keep it up ...

July 27,2020 05:57a.m here in the Philippines at the Davao area of Mindanao....so awesome idea make every side of the room very useful...

Glad to see you up and building.

Man thats slicker than owl snot on a winder!

Izzy I watch your vids with my young daughter. See loves woodwork. You could consider legs from the top shelf that would always remain vertical. They would cover the parallelagrams at the side, and reach the floor when it's in table mode. Would obviously give extra strength, but dictate the height of the unit in some fashion.

Would also be super cool as a tiered windowsill for smallish plants! Easy to water and such when you can just lower all the shelves instead of having to reach up or climb a stool, and extra good for inward-opening windows since the shelves aren't fixed in place. :D

Could do two shelves that fold outwards to the wall and a tabletop underneath to fold down when needed. So you have a shelf an a table in a small space. One leg should fit between the shelves.

Something like that would be handy in the kitchen cupboards for bringing stuff down from the high shelf to where you could reach it without a step stool it would also make those cabinet spaces more usable for every day stuff. I know I use those spaces for items I use rarely. I love the idea I think the application would work better in the kitchen.

That is simply amazing! I'm blown away. So smart!!! Love it. fyi - music was ghastly, Please don't burn up the ears. No music is best.

Subway will order few hundreds of these

Consider a peg leg for the table edge for better stability with elbows on table or kids climbing on it

With the addition of the fixed shelves, the first one rocks! I would love to see it with doors, but like you said, not the original doors.

Recess into a wall ..... awesome

That is realy a nice piece for a small camper van type of situation thanx mr. swan

As a wheelchair users i find i never put anything on the top shelves. There more than a space saving concept going on here. Awesome job

Edited to fix mobile auto-corrections: @Izzy - my idea = do NOT use the table as shelves. I would re-engineer it so that the cabinet doors when up close the cabinet. When the doors come down they make the table. The way you have it address the following concerns: 1) there is no additional space needed to open the cabinet doors. 2) if one puts dishes /cups on the shelves they almost all have to be removed to lower to table position - if not, one has to worry about them shifting, getting in the way of other shelves, falling over, etc as the shelves move. Making the doors become the table resolved all of those concerns! Store the dishes and fold up the table/close the dishes into the cabinet. Open the cabinet/create the table and remove the dishes to set the table to eat. IDK... Thinking... Rotate the door up and they create four wider shelves. Pull them down and creates a table top... That might take some thinking!

So cool. I'm in the process of designing a 14ft Vardo camper right now. This would be a cool way to save some space but I will wait to see the next build before I decide which is the better build.

Looking real good. Hard to beat

A recommendation would be: leaving a gap between the doors for a fold down leg support connected to one of the top shelves.

Take care of yourself. Good health and long life! ☺

Fold down the cabinet door so it becomes “leg”support. Or perhaps bi-fold the cabinet doors and hold back with magnets . Cabinet doors could have slotted wood scraps to hold utensils, etc. Built in high intensity LED lamp or light strips for reading. Use metal inserts for second bolt location. Tambour doors that hide away would be slick.

The door could actually be connected to the shelves, so that the door opened from the top and as it opened it pulls the shelves down. That way the door would be under the table instead of opening outwards and needing more space.

Great, that was so nice. After use things will be back to its place. SUPER👍👍

As previously stated the does may need some re-thinking as they could potentially be in the way of other things once opened. But what I like about the design is the potential for other material types like metal arms or plastic shelves that would make it fit different tummy home styles super easily.

I see this beneficial for the tiny person who may not be able to reach the top shelf and could bring it down the lower level...but other than that... if it were me those doors as not hinged on vertical hinges...but maybe one solid board with a horizontal hinge with a solid door/table top to begin with it will be more stable than a bunch of louvers. If liquid spills would happen...less clean up cuz it would be one surface as opposed to all the grooves where it would find many places to follow the path of least resistance. I love the skills you got. But in this application.. It would be less work and less moving parts to have a stationary shelf with a single down folding board. (Maybe with legs that hinge down from the top of the board that could either already be measured for the needed height when used as a table and have the shelf / hinge assembly mounted at that exact height.) (Hope this makes sense) I could just see so much moving parts and swapping around of items to be used as a table....that eating would be an inconvenience. My thought is have the trash can sit right at the wall under the shelves... So after a meal (or a spill) you could tilt the table and let the stuff follow gravity and into the trash can. (Would have to be an open lid trash can) 😇😎 I'm looking forward to contestant number 2. (Not a reference to bathroom talk) Haha! 😇😎

Love watching you engineering mind at work.and you are looking stronger too! Hope you health continues to improve

I like it. Very cool idea. I think that the doors should have an extra hinge so they could fold in half to help them open and close in a cramped environment and fold back next to the cabinet if it is not a built in.

I like this idea. could it be adapted to a spice cabinet? Could a wall cabinet be adapted to have these narrow shelves drop down like stairs so that it reaches or rests on a counter top and you can see all your spices there? And then be able to put 'em all away back up in the cabinet?
