great stuff joey. dark coloured objects are difficult to film so no doubt it shows up even better in person (tableson?). when making a torsion box i have stuffed the cavities with rockwool insulation to reduce hollow sounds or knocking. there is special dense acoustic insulation that would be well suited to this pupose.

Thanks Joey for putting the effort into the video whereby you explain your choices and challenges - it really makes you think about your own processes. Being in Australia and using mainly Eucalytpus sp. I'm not so keen on veneering given the grain goes every which way. Having said that, I've found the Laguna bandsaw fence useful as you don't have to resurface after each cut as you can wind the fence over a set number of turns and get consistent slices. Also a thicknesser with a helical cutter and carbide knives is more forgiving with wild grain patterns (IMO). Again great work by you - your willingness to give it a go is inspiring. Cheers

Great video Joey - speaking of using torsion boxes in furniture. I just did it on a commission for a sectional where there was an XL length trundle that wanted to sit under the 'long section' - 85" of un-supported span that could also host several adults sitting on it. This was the only construction method that made sense to me especially since I was also constrained on Z (height) by the thickness of a rolling frame with mattress and 'seating'. While I enjoy following you on instagram, the videos are the best...
@justavian2 жыл бұрын
I've made similar structures on benches - torsion box with quarter inch thick veneer cladding the whole thing. Somehow i never really considered this method for a table, presumably because i'm dumb. I wish i had thought about this when i built a kitchen table for myself. I was using some really cool blue streaky pine harvested near me, but i couldn't get it flat - i ended up gluing it down to some MDF and veneering the edges. But that still didn't quite fix the flatness, and of course it was incredibly heavy. Mostly salvaged the project, but i wasn't happy. If i had simply planned to do a torsion box from the beginning, it would have been a much better project. Anyway - great video. I've used only small amounts of purple heart, so i didn't discover the planing and tearout issues you mention. But i was considering using it as part of a heavy interior door - so i appreciate the lessons! Great piece, thanks for sharing this.

The suggestion of rockwool is interesting but a real nightmare to control while veneering/gluing simultaneously. Maybe boring holes in the bottom and sprayfoaming it -- then adding a second veneer to cover the holes? Or doing it before veneering -- just level it off.....

Leo used MASSIVE purpleheart timbers for the keel for Tally Ho, joined with scarf joints tighter than any joint I’ve ever been able to make.

1. Thick veneers have been around for a long time , the idea is that you use stronger glue than the pull of the timber and it's movement, Dap weld wood plastic resin glue. 2. In a maloof joint like like on my legs there is about half of the joint where you are gluing end grain which in my experience has better adhesion with epoxy
