Springiness of previous designs could be credited to the strings and reduced with cables that had less give. So they could work with the right materials and tensioning.

Pretty sure that once the dowels are touching, it's no longer tensegrity. In particular, the dowels are now bending members. Not to say the design isn't cool - it definitely is; I think it's just more appropriately classified as a reciprocal frame than tensegrity.

I've been working in a school project for about a month now, and you may not believe it but one of my proposals was this exact table but just with 3 legs. Fortunately I didn't end up choosing that path because 16 hours ago someone did it first so I cant do it any more for my project. What a coincidence men. By the way now I'm working on a big table that follows the tensegrity principles I it's turning out pretty cool , so I hope the same coincidence doesn't happen again. This ended up being a really long comment. I've been watching your videos for years now and I still love them as much as the first day.

This original structure will probably make a cool chair leg. I'll love a springy chair haha

The 3-legged-stringy-springy-table would have been cool.

excellent project Alex! 👏😎

Great project, for better stability I think you should set a wooden table on the structure with some weight and then, once the rope is under the maximum tension, tighten the screws. By doing this way you maybe could have managed to use also the other structures

Didn't see it amongst the comments, put marks on the string where one side of the leg should be, then you can tighten the string as you pull it through the leg and all the legs have exactly the same distance from each other. 🙂 Great build and awesome content as usual!

You're designing process is so inspiring and the results are awesome! Well done!

nice design and well done, for and all out anti-tensegrity table. Every member is in contact with all other members. That explains that slight smile while he was doing this.

I absolutely love the noise you make, eg at 13:53. So much happiness and excitement at a project coming together!

Super cool build. I have seen so many tensegrity wobbly builds, this is a proper table that you can put coffee on without having to suffer continuous anxiety.

This is amazing. Very well thought out. I love how you seamlessly mix materials like wood and 3D printing. Very inspiring.

Another amazing video. Love the precision that goes into your projects and your enthusiasm.

I really like the way you present your ideas with the immediate showing of a prototype! That makes a huge difference! Well done

Every time I watch your video makes me feel amazed and also have a nice mood !!! Love your project and laugh !!!

Dude! your videos are really awesome. I discovered you a few weeks back and its always entertaining to actually watch your videos from every point of view. the sound, video editing etc. And I will definitely at some point try and build sound panels. need them. I always learn something new as well. Keep it up!

hey I think someone might have told you this already, but the wooden chips sucks up all the oil from the lathe sliding parts, so make sure to keep it well lubed and clean after use! Another awesome project Alex, love your work!

You're such a skilled person -- congratulations Alex! Amazing work!

Love you designs and how you incorporate so many different types of material in your builds!

I LOVE the fact that you also watch James Bruton!

That is the cleverest thing i've seen made on this channel. Bravo

What a fantastic design! Thanks Alexandre! Now I need to make a coffee table. :)

thts the level of surety i want in life, love watching you make and print stuff

Nice concept. In a future version, you could create two locking screws in one leg so you can have the wire ends connecting inside a leg

this would be an amazing type of camping table since it collapse so easily! Good Job ALEX! awesome skills as always!

Way cooler than expected, especially with the glass top, helps you actually see the illusion

Love it. Your projects always fascinate me! Keep up the great work. 👍🏾

You are such an amazing person, i cant get bored of your videos 😍😍😍😍

Probably my favorite project of yours so far

I feel like one aspect of your builds that is missing in each video is some idea of how long it takes. It would be nice if in the description or somewhere you put roughly how much time you spent building whatever it is you're making in the videos. I really enjoy watching what you make, but it always feels like it only takes you one or two days, due to how its edited.

Wonderful!! The first version of your table is nice for make some milkshake 😁😁

Alexandre, you are a madman! I’ll never build it, but loved watching it!!!

You make these things look easy... that's how good you are, thanks!

SWEET project!

The amount of work done... Mind blown.

This is the best thing you have made - I would buy it if it was sold in stores (dont have a workshop or the skills to make it) Good Job

Amazing project!

Really cool concept and iteration!

brilliant....also love your Bridgeport milling machine.....big respect from Mauritius

Very nice concept! And cool inplementation!

Awesome Work!

Nice project! Nice video Alexandre :)

so coool!!!!!!Love your work bro!

you deserve so many more subs. thank you for your content

That's look awesome! Nice build 👍👌🙂

Really nice project Alex! From Brazil 🇧🇷

Love the design Alex! I wonder if you could add a mother to "roll up" the wire and that would make the table change height! Keep up the great work.

Really awesome camera placement and editing in this one, man! The table is amazing too.

Awesome project!

Great build!

Great video as always👍 Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us👍😀

While I always enjoy each of Alexandre's builds, this one actually makes me happy! Why? Because, with some simplifications, it is well within BOTH my skillset and my tool set. The first simplification, as I have no lathe, would be to buy hardwood round stock. Next, the top and bottom 3D printed caps could screw flush to the ends or slip over them, eliminating the need for the shoulder. Just cut the stock to length, finish it, and add a few pilot holes on each end. Perhaps use a flared conical section the leg would insert into. So many possibilities! To simplify things further, as I have neither long drill bits nor the ability to drill deep centered holes, would be to replace the locking brass inserts with carriage bolts through the legs (using a 3D printed drill guide) and eyelet nuts, with the eyelet on the inside. Wrap the wire multiple times around each eyelet for some friction to get the right final geometry. Fiddly to adjust, but it should be doable. If getting the bolts right becomes a problem, even simpler would be to use split-ring pipe hangers with eyebolts. Again, many possibilities. The thing is, by changing only the wire length, the same legs may be used for a low coffee table and also for taller matching end-tables with a smaller diameter top. Such versatility! Would need to verify the end-table stability. Yes, this looks to be totally doable, even by me. I'm very happy!

Looks nice good job man!

Love your videos mate

I'm from Brazil! I love your channel!

This is awesome 👌

Amazing!! nice brass details.

You are an absolute genius!

This is a plan to hold the earth together. Good job! AC.

You're a Rockstar. Keep Movin, Keep Movin.

Awesome project! I've made that exact same sound when I finally see my project go from CAD to sitting in front of me, haha. Because the end caps beneath the glass are already black plastic, it would be a nice touch to model TPU inserts for them to replace the clear adhesive pads!

Great project, very well designed !

i hope the cable hold up long term but over all a pretty cool project. nice job!

Well thought and beautiful build! And great ending too! 😎

Pretty fantastic work, Alexandre! 😃 Impressive little coffee table! Stay safe there! 🖖😊

Great project and video... Thanks.

always amazing Alex! greetings from Philippines!

You made it look soo EZ, You are amzing😍

Amazing to see how motivated you work on these projects! I would just give up while tinkering aroung the idea :D

Awesome use of metal lathe and BP. Love the brass pins

Nice on, live your thinking process. 👍🏻👍🏻

I love your vídeos so much!

insane craftsmanship

Beautiful table!!

Wish I could have a workshop like yours. Great work!

Thanks Alex i learnt 5 things i never knew i needed to know haha

Wow! Good job 👍

Nice, that is a great looking table too!

Alex you are nuts! great work

Outstanding

Dude, thanks, good work

now that you have pinned the cables in place, I think some of those other forms would actually be a lot more stable. the thing with them before was that the "legs" could move in two directions - but now that they're pinned, they can only move in one direction. the steel cable fixes them in place when it is tensioned, and with little "spring" they aren't really going to do much. It's no longer a slipping/sliding joint.

Awesome mate

Man love the chanel and everything you build 👍

it do look amazing

Hello Alex, Thanks for another thought provoking & enjoyable film! I had a couple of ideas after seeing the film : 1: The legs look a tad like matches ! ...so: instead of turning them down to round, you could, in fact just use a router to take the sharp corners off and then print out red coloured top knobs...and bingo : you have a "five giant match table" instead! Smarmy ! :-) Thought 2 : : I wish I had a 3D printer too! ( and knew haw to use it !!! ;-) regards, Patrick

Amazing!!!

Now we need a project for the IKEA-coffee-table-base that came with the glass tabletop!

Very cool table.

Great job

Would be really nice to lathe out a filleted taper towards the centre of each of the legs, so that the points where they are most likely to touch has more space. You probably wouldn't want to stand on it after that, but it'd highlight the gravity-defying techniques used, and hero the engineering a little more. Something that you should be able to do if/when you receive the new wire connector and have to disassemble. Would be good to see you revisit later on!

Grat Job! Best regards Nico from Nico’s Projects

It may seem like a small detail, but the way you measured your brass to part it off on the lathe is fricken smart man. I'll be doing that from here on out, thanks! Great project as always! Keep it up!

wow, nice project, nice job. I like it. 😍😍😍

Great job.

Dude you are a genius!!! 🤓🙉👍🏻👏🏻

thats a real good one alex

Great design.

You honestly are a genius
