Can we just be proud of Simone that she's created a community completely content with waiting times of 2 months just because her video's are that great?
I can't believe you managed to solve the problem of a second table top with no lip to reach over 😮 If you ever want to do a puzzle together one day, hit me up!
As a neurodivergent person who likes woodworking I want to say Thanks for being the first Media Person to actually have a great sound engineering Neither the music nor the machine noises are too loud and the narrated parts are clear I wish more people would nail it like you did
I dunno what this collab would even look like but I want it to happen so hard. Simone, do you like video games?? I know of a coupla video game boys..!!
I broke my feet today because I kicked my computer because someone commented that my videos are bad! I hate unjustified criticism. Please wish me a speedy recovery, dear la
Simone: "I've never done a hardwood project before, so I'm gonna make a giant tambour" Me, a novice engineer in a woodworking shop: [having a damn heart attack already] The fact that you were able to make it work (and WORK SO WELL) should be considered a central jewel in your crown of "I'm Gonna Do It And I'm Gonna Ask For Help And Never Give Up" majesty. Wow.
I appreciate this comment, because as someone who has never done any engineering more complex than the lopsided birdhouses we hammered together in elementary school I have little to no gauge on how complex these projects really are when I see them in youtube videos.
Helluva first hardwood project! The build and the final result is impressive enough in itself, but considering how many things you had to learn and how many of the processes and skills were a first for you, it's fricking insane and you smashed it out of the park. Proud of you, son!
I'm working on my own first hardwood project, and the difficulties with hardwood should not be underestimated! My first cut had the circular saw warping and making wavy cuts.
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers. Your ideas and skills are second only to your ability to put the whole production together with great humor. I'm nearly 65 and you teach me something everytime I watch. Besides you remind me of my mechanical engineering daughter who is also one of my favorites ;-) Great job, keep the builds going.
The interior table raising up is SUCH A COOL SURPRISE FEATURE! Also, love that you're friends with E&K and have dinner together, love seeing makers I love who love each other ♥️
@@potatopotatoeOG i was really surprised too hahaha for some reason i was like “haha funny coincidence that she has friends that have those names!” And then i was like wait hold on lol
I JUST came across this Project. I must say, thereareALOT of puzzles who would LOVE this in their hobby Arsenal. I do puzzles electronically, but this is the CATS MEOW. YOU should BE EXTREMELY PROUD of yourself.
As a new dad to a wonderful little girl, i'm very happy that there are female role models such as you Simone that focus on fun, creativity and knowledge
@@patiakreles pretty sure you absolutely can patent a table design even if it’s been published in a video otherwise you wouldn’t have so many products with the title “patent pending”
I've never been so jealous of one of these projects before! They're always so rad and great sources of inspiration.... But MAN do I NEED this table! I could have soooo many half finished art projects on the go at once!
Ummmmm can we just take a moment to appreciate how freaking A+++++ the editing, vibe, and quality of this video in particular was??? Bravo, Simone! Love you, love your work, love it all!
"Having some friends over..." Oh that's cool, I'm sure they'll think it's a neat table. *Evan and Katelyn walk in* The perfect audience for a handmade table has arrived
As soon as she said that Evan and Katelyn were coming to visit I thought to myself: "Wait... No way she's talking about *THOSE* Evan and Katelyn!" so glad to be proven wrong, I love their channel so much (probobly why the algoritm recomended this video to me lol)
Having a seemingly impossible project come together, especially when it pushes you to acquire new tools and learn new skills, is the most rewarding feeling. Well done!
the under table surface moving up and down is so cool! I could see so many applications beyond puzzles for this table, obviously like long winded games of monopoly or risk, or DND but also like if you’re working on planning out a project or painting something, but suddenly it’s lunch time? Boom surface to eat at without having to clean up, I love it
Honestly, even though I don't do puzzles, I want a table like this! It could be used for other things too like long board games you can tuck away between sessions, or even just a cool extra storage feature. I really like it and I think you should sell the design or something so that these can get produced. Idk anything about how that'd work though
Girl! If you are reading this! It's time for you to Step Up your Game! Don't fall into "meh, it's too much work" Making the table was "too much" work! It's time for you to rise your head and say "I made this incredible table That many people could enjoy just like me, let's get the business started and make them and my self happy at the same time! :)
(it also applies for, You.) Yes, you reading this, what, you doing right now? Like you have stuff pending waiting for you to do it, breathe, stand up, and just do it! You will feel better after putting down RUclips for an hour and doing what you have to do! If you do, Don't thanks me, Thanks urself ;)
Simone, I just want you to know, that you are my comfort channel. When I’m depressed, can’t focus, even when I’m perfectly fine, I will just binge watch the videos on your channel and no matter what I will feel so much better and calmer. This specific video I gotta say is my favorite, you keep going despite your frustrations and the product is so cool. Love your content man, don’t stop making it :)
I appreciate you mentioning which tools you're "most scared of". I don't think there are many examples of truly effective and creative makers who provide such an authentic look at what making things can be like. I've been putting off finishing a project because I am scared of using a particular tool on my own. I guess I never realized people familiar with the tools can be scared of them and still work with them anyways, like that was normal. Seems silly now that I think of it.
To be honest, even as a little home DIY'er- not really having used any big workshop tools and mostly just various sizes of hand-held ones: having that fear is a good thing because it shows you respect the tool and what it can do- especially if it's mishandled! Hopefully you've finished that project and have a little more confidence with the showstopping tool! :3
I've been using powertools for many years, but I get a little nervous every time I turn on my big band saw. What if the blade breaks when I activate the second step and it goes at full speed. Nothing happens if it breaks, I know that. But a speeding 188"x1½" blade can seem a little scary. Dangerous tool requires respect, they will win if you forget it.
I've taken up pyrography, and before I bought my wire-tip system, I was using the generic $20 version. I'd used it at least 10 times before and wound up burning my thumb through my heat glove. That was the very last time I ever used it, and my pyrography bone was itchy for a long time
As an engineer, I love your spirit and your drive for making stuff. As someone living in a 2-room apartment, I am absolutely jealous of the amount of tools you have to play with!
Hello there Antoine Delaporte , I’m Trent OFlaherty responding to your reply of this wonderful piece of engineering . I too have no engineering degree but am dog-legged determined to try finishing off an awkward piece . My math is a tad short of correct usage of part formula & as one person past mentioned finding the cosec would give me more accurate measurements than having them all close to - ( ie North Pole ) in Spherical Trig. My project is marking out an 11 equally spaced hendecagon . Although I believe this poss , I’m marking around a sphere rad 84 of which I believe would be made easier if it was some multiple of 5 or 10 considering the square root of 5 is used in pentagons. My icsohedron is much like this lady’s project above. I’m at a very close result however I am curious if my sphere should be different size for a starter. Due to my wood turning, measurement is critical as I’m reducing each of the 11 spines numerical order in antipodes -mainly for counterbalancing . I’d like to send some pictures if you can assist as this is not the norm . Trent O’Flaherty - - ptoflaherty@ yahoo.com.au
I got soooo excited when you said Evan and Katelyn and I was thinking “must be a coincidence” I’m new to your channel. Hope we get to see more cross overs and maybe you on their channel!
I could totally see this as a sellable item. The form and function of this item is amazing and beautiful. Adding a protective finish would make it even more so.
I was thinking the same thing. There would definitely need to be optimization to the building process but as someone who loves puzzles the worst thing has always been how much space they take up. This is an awesome solution to that
At least one obvious cost saving would be to get rid of the chain and the crank for raising and lowering the puzzle table. Just have a lever that connects to a rod.
I'm barely a quarter of the way thru but I had to pause to give credit to that 3D printed bathtub, well worth it for the gag! Simone you are a wonderful gift to this world
what a great table. This is by far the coolest one I have ever seen. The roller shutter is amazing, but the lift is the USP. Fantastic work. And a reminder that I should buy a small lathe. It's better to have than to need.
Omg Simone, I'm so proud of you. I know that might not mean much coming from a stranger, but seeing the things your mind comes up with and how you roll with the punches is inspiring. Also I remember when my husband was learning how to use a lathe, and I suddenly have a new appreciation for his work there.
Holy crap are lathes scary. Most dangerous tool I'll probably ever use. Props to Simone for taking the time to learn how to do it right and props to her coach for doing that safety check first thing! No jewelry, loose hair, or bully clothing!
@@randxalthor I loved the hand check. Was awesome to see. So right about the danger. When she asked “is this safe” I waited to hear “ No, but everything is operating correctly so far. “
I totally wasn't ready for Evan and Katelyn to be the friends you invited over for dinner. This is the most satisfying secret crossover I've seen in years.
I you felt like a wizard then it wouldn't literally be magic. If you are a wizard, then it's literally magic. You need to literally study the meaning of literally.
Extreamly well desiged table! One thing, to reduce the sweat and reduce the wear and teat, you can reduce the friction by adding parafine (rub a candle stick) in the slots. It is an old way to prevent drawers to get stuck. It works well on zippers too.
My dad and I did this when we made a sliding spice rack for my mom. Only problem was that the only candles we could find (that my mom wouldn't eat us alive for using) were blue and white striped birthday candles, so the inside of the slide mechanism looked like a kid had drawn on it in blue crayon and then tried to clean it up, but did a bad job.
Me, too! I love this. And this video in particular has so many moments that relate to Jenna Marbles and Unus Annus. “This fight is one…” and “I am not going to give up yet bc I am a woman on a mission to slightly improve her jigsaw puzzle experience…” are great fragments of RUclips as a whole
Some people throw watermelons at the ground from a high place. Others are extremely loud and oversaturate their videos to blistering colors. And then there’s special gems like Simone. I’ve made about 200 videos in my life of varying genres, but this is one of the perfect styles of video for me to consume endlessly
This is so timely. We just had some holidays and when my newish sons-in-law were asking how we would manage with the puzzle I showed them what we did growing up - put a tablecloth over it and served the meal. I can't tell you how many times as a kid my water glass was at a slight angle when part of it was sitting on a puzzle piece!!! Love this concept!
@@Adskdnweotland Indeed! I think you can see part of it in 14:30 (it's the whit semicircles), but it came a bit like a surprise so it could have been shown a bit more.
I don't know if anyone else gets this out of your videos, Simone, but like every 1 out of 4 makes me cry tears of joy. I think it's the "success story" after you showing, with so much wit and heart, every frustration and fear you have along the way. It's really fucking cathartic. You describing the joy of learning a new tool and the new endless possibilities it brings, aah, that's the stuff!! Thank you, I admire you quite a lot
I can't recall the last time I smiled in such a genuine way as I did when the table was finished and you showed it to your friends. That was the most wholesome result I have seen in a long while. So proud of you, as always
I am so impressed! You did ALL THE THINGS! I'm always in awe of people that can take an idea, map it out, and make it happen. I'm absolutely horrible at that. I'm totally jealous; I want this table!
Simone, thank you i'm an industrial design student, and i'm constantly having breakdowns over needing more time and hating tight deadlines, and seeing you, lying there on the floor, gave me hope (even though it's a sad image, i'd rather take it as a bittersweet one) these are things i know: struggling and despair part of the craft, having to take more time than planned is part of the craft but at the same time, happiness/joy are part of the craft, so are achievement and pride thank you because you've reminded me that i wont be a student forever and that projects take a toll on designers, and it may be exhausting but the reward is greater than any suffering along the way
You know as an artist this would be really useful! I usually end up taking up the whole table and can't relocate until I'm done (which may be a few days) this would be an awesome way to keep the table functional without having to put my supplies away!
I bet they geeked out all night about how Simone made the table, because Evan and Katelyn are also massive maker nerds. They usually do resin stuff, but I could totally see something like this being right up their alley!
Kiwico is like,, the *one* sponsored ad I will watch the whole way through every time. Mad respect, loved those boxes Also this table is *hekkin a w e s o m e,* oh my *goddd*
I was literally just watching Evan and Katelyn make a table and this is so funny! I've literally never seen your channel before but it's amazing. Just subscribed
I would love to have that table for myself. It looks really useful and just sleek with a bouns of being able to crank some handles on it. Also, omg I love supportive friends E&K. You guys are the best trio.
This is literally my dream table. I drew up a design very similar to this like 4 years ago, but ended up scrapping it because I'm a coward. I'm glad someone else had the courage to do this, as it turned out better than I could have imagined.
It has been wonderful watching your growth as a maker through this channel. I've been watching since Wake Up Machine. Your building chops are insanely good and seeing the challenges you've faced over these years laid out so vulnerably is a big deal for a lot of us. Thank you for doing what you do.
It's pretty crazy to look back at! I've been thinking I should revisit some of my old projects and rebuild them to see how differently I would solve the problems now.
You should go ahead and add felt to the puzzle tabletop. A lot of lipped puzzle tables (as well as a puzzle mat I saw in a catalog where you can roll up and store the completed puzzle) have felt surfaces. Many card tables also have felt surfaces, so this one could pull double duty.
That is seriously rad! I love the mid centruy scandinavian vibes from the design. and having a fear of table saws and lathes is incredibly healthy. Kickback is terrifying and spinny things are always dangerous.
Maybe it's just me, but when the trumpet-sounds from the montage started, all I could think of was Pippi Longstocking trumpet-ting her Christmas-song, in the Christmas episode. There's something utterly Swedish about (certain/similar) trumpet-songs like that. I mean, I don't think I'd associate trumpets with Italy or something, trumpets belong to sweden.
The table is great but her self awareness at the beginning is so adorkable. How many times have I thought “I know this is a bad idea and there are better ways to do it, but I’m going to do it anyway”.
I love that I came across your channel and that I can watch a woman being technical and working on engineering stuff like this! Also, the table is soo beautiful, I would definitely buy it if it were for sale! Much love
Hey Simone, considering you have so many comments I don't know if you will ever read this, but I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you make and create and project in the exact way that you do. I have struggled with mental health issues for so many years that it has made it impossible for me to be able to manifest the kind of maker life that i've always wanted and thought i would someday have, but being able to watch you go through your processes and learn with you and see your creations..it's just such a blessing to me. It fulfills a significant need in my life that I have not been able to fulfill for myself yet. So thank you. It means more than you know. x
Simone, I am so glad to have happened upon your videos. I love your example of always sticking the landing! I'm over twice your age, but that's my approach to creative work, too. Totally different fields, but same-same. Thanks very much from a seventy-year-old admirer in Israel.
I was so pleasantly surprised when you said you were having Evan and Katelyn over! Three of my favorite makers in the same room just hanging out and being friends 😊
That's legit one of the coolest tables ever. You are so correct to be proud! Also, the thumb soaking in the tub and the whole voice over were hilarious.
As someone who has made functional moving things out of wood before, I felt your pain in my heart. This idea for puzzles/board games is absolutely beautiful though.
My mom used to do jigsaw puzzles often but now shes playing the lame puzzle apps on her tablet. You on the other hand built the coolest table I ever seen and still get to keep the original feeling of (big) jigsaw puzzles. "Claping hands"
"If you've ever learned how to use a new tool...it just feels like infinite fields of possibilities. It's just one of the best feelings in the world!" YES!!!
My uncle loved jigsaw puzzles and was very good at them. He complained to his family that they were too easy. He said that once he had the corners started the rest of it just fell into place. So they bought him a circular puzzle, but he thought that was still a little too easy, so he worked it upside-down so the picture on the puzzle wouldn't give away the location of the pieces. BTW, that table was a puzzle of a whole different kind and a piece of engineering magic. Well done.
Simone, the one upgrade I'd recommend for your new table is to add nylon slider strips in the slots on the side walls. That way your rolling top slides easier, so it's a lot less work to open and close. This was excellent work, and a project I could do! (Lathe work aside since I don't have one.) I'd love to see how you managed the raise/lower function on the inner tabletop.
I'm not a maker, I don't have much of a draw toward woodwork or any other tradecraft, but I love watching this channel because I see someone who loves what they do and it makes me happy, also I learn things too ^_^ thanks for sharing this with me/us. When I'm feeling low I like to watch your channel, makes me smile.
As somebody who enjoys lathe work and has a basic understanding, it's really cool to see somebody more... seasoned, than myself figuring and getting over their fear of it is really cool. Now I wanna buy one, gonna sell my arm for it.
That movie trailer was a mood 💀🤣Thanks for having us over for the inaugural puzzle night!
chaos chaos chaos chaos
Resin time resin time tururu resin time
When I heard Simone say "my friends Evan and Katelyn" I was like "wait...THAT Evan and Katelyn?" and then a few moments later "HEY! It IS!"
My brain be like: ""How in the universe they are friends!?!?"
Evan wants a lathe now, doesn't he?
Can we just be proud of Simone that she's created a community completely content with waiting times of 2 months just because her video's are that great?
Thanks for letting me take my time! Have two videos coming in October though!
Amen!
Quality takes time. Innovation takes longer. Simone does both.
Just knowing that she’s out there, building something in a workshop for all us sinners, makes any wait worth it.
Perfect example of quality over quantity.
I can't believe you managed to solve the problem of a second table top with no lip to reach over 😮 If you ever want to do a puzzle together one day, hit me up!

As a D&D player (20 years dming) this table has SUCH potential it blows my mind to bits.
and the 3 D printed bath for a 3 second clip is exactly why I think Simone puts every bit of care into her videos...
“Is it ok that I feel like a fuckin wizard”
*“yeah”*
We all need a friend like Stu
I honestly thought she said lizard and didnt question it
Plus, for all I care, people who can actually make stuff are wizards.

My icsohedron is much like this lady’s project above. I’m at a very close result however I am curious if my sphere should be different size for a starter.
Due to my wood turning, measurement is critical as I’m reducing each of the 11 spines numerical order in antipodes -mainly for counterbalancing .
I’d like to send some pictures if you can assist as this is not the norm . Trent O’Flaherty - - ptoflaherty@ yahoo.com.au
as someone renting a single room, deep mood.
I got soooo excited when you said Evan and Katelyn and I was thinking “must be a coincidence” I’m new to your channel. Hope we get to see more cross overs and maybe you on their channel!
Evan and Katelyn are always a win!
I could totally see this as a sellable item. The form and function of this item is amazing and beautiful. Adding a protective finish would make it even more so.
I was thinking the same thing. There would definitely need to be optimization to the building process but as someone who loves puzzles the worst thing has always been how much space they take up. This is an awesome solution to that
At least one obvious cost saving would be to get rid of the chain and the crank for raising and lowering the puzzle table. Just have a lever that connects to a rod.
I'm barely a quarter of the way thru but I had to pause to give credit to that 3D printed bathtub, well worth it for the gag! Simone you are a wonderful gift to this world
what a great table. This is by far the coolest one I have ever seen. The roller shutter is amazing, but the lift is the USP. Fantastic work. And a reminder that I should buy a small lathe. It's better to have than to need.
Myog core
I love puzzles and I love this table! Fantastic job Simone.
Have Jarvis over to help her solve a puzzle!
Now let's see if you can make this with a recycled treadmill motor and some servo motors... Or just have your Arm bot could crank it lol
no
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I love that Simone has gone from making silly, janky robots to the most incredible and beautiful functional art. Keep doing what you love Simone!
In their own way, those janky robots were art, too. xD Like the slap-you-awake one! That was poetry in motion. ^_^
I'm quite fond of the pat-on-the-back.
It's a classic.
Still have bets on the brain tumor being the cause of the janky robots.
@@Karuiko I dunno...
I believe we all have a janky robot stage in our past.
@@gardengatesopen *vex robotic competition flashbacks*
Omg Simone, I'm so proud of you. I know that might not mean much coming from a stranger, but seeing the things your mind comes up with and how you roll with the punches is inspiring. Also I remember when my husband was learning how to use a lathe, and I suddenly have a new appreciation for his work there.
It does mean a lot! ❤️
Holy crap are lathes scary. Most dangerous tool I'll probably ever use. Props to Simone for taking the time to learn how to do it right and props to her coach for doing that safety check first thing! No jewelry, loose hair, or bully clothing!
@@randxalthor I loved the hand check. Was awesome to see. So right about the danger. When she asked “is this safe” I waited to hear “ No, but everything is operating correctly so far. “
I totally wasn't ready for Evan and Katelyn to be the friends you invited over for dinner.
This is the most satisfying secret crossover I've seen in years.
"Is it ok to feel like a Wizard?"
Yes, it's actually mandatory. It's literally magic.
Well - EINSTEIN Was a Genius - never completed yr 12 High-school . Was 1% amazing insight. 99%blood sweat & tears🤓
Oh that makes more sense. I heard lizard.
@@aesbj9228 lizard wizards equals lathe combo mastery
I you felt like a wizard then it wouldn't literally be magic. If you are a wizard, then it's literally magic. You need to literally study the meaning of literally.
Holy cow! That is so freaking cool! I have no idea how the puzzle table raises up but that’s brilliant!
Linked cams lift/lower the puzzle table.
Cams David, cams! Natures Elevator! The egg of an engine! The... okay, I'm out.
Cams baby! A ramp in polar coordinates
It’s just magic. Simple.
Yea she didnt show that part.
Extreamly well desiged table!
One thing, to reduce the sweat and reduce the wear and teat, you can reduce the friction by adding parafine (rub a candle stick) in the slots. It is an old way to prevent drawers to get stuck. It works well on zippers too.
Also, a sliding extension on the handles would be an aid if the paraffin is not sufficient.
My dad and I did this when we made a sliding spice rack for my mom. Only problem was that the only candles we could find (that my mom wouldn't eat us alive for using) were blue and white striped birthday candles, so the inside of the slide mechanism looked like a kid had drawn on it in blue crayon and then tried to clean it up, but did a bad job.
I think I've genuinely found a new favourite channel. The creator, the content, and even the background music just work. Glad I found your channel
Me, too! I love this. And this video in particular has so many moments that relate to Jenna Marbles and Unus Annus. “This fight is one…” and “I am not going to give up yet bc I am a woman on a mission to slightly improve her jigsaw puzzle experience…” are great fragments of RUclips as a whole
Some people throw watermelons at the ground from a high place. Others are extremely loud and oversaturate their videos to blistering colors. And then there’s special gems like Simone. I’ve made about 200 videos in my life of varying genres, but this is one of the perfect styles of video for me to consume endlessly
The background music is often by the westerlies and it’s great, my favourite is ‘Dover’ which she uses a lot
This is so timely. We just had some holidays and when my newish sons-in-law were asking how we would manage with the puzzle I showed them what we did growing up - put a tablecloth over it and served the meal. I can't tell you how many times as a kid my water glass was at a slight angle when part of it was sitting on a puzzle piece!!! Love this concept!
The lifting of the "undertable" (or whatever you may call it) is mind-blowing! Wow!
Agreed I want to see the mechanism
@@Adskdnweotland Indeed! I think you can see part of it in 14:30 (it's the whit semicircles), but it came a bit like a surprise so it could have been shown a bit more.
So simple and I love it.
That was an amazing reveal.
Table: EPIC
Jokes: EPIC
Editing: EPIC
Simone and her MYOG: E.P.I.C.
I don't know if anyone else gets this out of your videos, Simone, but like every 1 out of 4 makes me cry tears of joy. I think it's the "success story" after you showing, with so much wit and heart, every frustration and fear you have along the way. It's really fucking cathartic.
You describing the joy of learning a new tool and the new endless possibilities it brings, aah, that's the stuff!!
Thank you, I admire you quite a lot
I can't recall the last time I smiled in such a genuine way as I did when the table was finished and you showed it to your friends. That was the most wholesome result I have seen in a long while. So proud of you, as always
As an avid crafter who's always lacking table space, I would absolutely love this!
I am so impressed! You did ALL THE THINGS! I'm always in awe of people that can take an idea, map it out, and make it happen. I'm absolutely horrible at that. I'm totally jealous; I want this table!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how a piece like this taking two months to complete would not be possible without RUclips to fund the build. 😊
Simone, thank you
i'm an industrial design student, and i'm constantly having breakdowns over needing more time and hating tight deadlines, and seeing you, lying there on the floor, gave me hope (even though it's a sad image, i'd rather take it as a bittersweet one)
these are things i know:
struggling and despair part of the craft, having to take more time than planned is part of the craft
but at the same time, happiness/joy are part of the craft, so are achievement and pride
thank you because you've reminded me that i wont be a student forever and that projects take a toll on designers, and it may be exhausting but the reward is greater than any suffering along the way
You know as an artist this would be really useful! I usually end up taking up the whole table and can't relocate until I'm done (which may be a few days) this would be an awesome way to keep the table functional without having to put my supplies away!
Simone's friends being legit hyped for her table is so lovely
That's Evan and Katelyn! They have their own "maker" channel and you should check it out! 🥰
Yes! I'd love to have friends like these 😁
their youtube channel is awesome!
I bet they geeked out all night about how Simone made the table, because Evan and Katelyn are also massive maker nerds. They usually do resin stuff, but I could totally see something like this being right up their alley!
Omg, as a fellow maker (no where near as badass as Simone) and a major puzzle addict, I legit fangirled at the reveal of this table too!! 🥹
Kiwico is like,, the *one* sponsored ad I will watch the whole way through every time. Mad respect, loved those boxes
Also this table is *hekkin
a w e s o m e,* oh my *goddd*
Everyone: I need handles so I'll buy some.
Simone: I need handles so I'll buy a lathe and learn how to lathe and stick the landing first time
Umm... so... I have a lathe now
Definitely need to see more Simone + Evan and Katelyn content! Love watching all of you build, create, and make! You guys inspire me!
I love that you show your process and don't just show the "tada" reveal. The struggle makes the end result all the more satisfying. Thank you
This is the best project I've ever seen. This started off me going "I can do that", very quickly went back on that! Awesome work
I was literally just watching Evan and Katelyn make a table and this is so funny! I've literally never seen your channel before but it's amazing. Just subscribed
I love that 2 of my fav RUclipsr who makes shenanigans are also friends.
Very much the same. I actually loved the thumb bathtub. ^_^()
strongly suggest binge watching her vids, theyre absolutely amazing
We basically have the opposite experience here, I've been watching Simone for years now but just discovered Evan and Katelyn the other day.
Finally someone who likes e&k to
I would love to have that table for myself. It looks really useful and just sleek with a bouns of being able to crank some handles on it. Also, omg I love supportive friends E&K. You guys are the best trio.
This is literally my dream table. I drew up a design very similar to this like 4 years ago, but ended up scrapping it because I'm a coward.
I'm glad someone else had the courage to do this, as it turned out better than I could have imagined.
Hey, it's never too late to try creating something.
Surprise guest appearance by two of my other favorite maker RUclipsrs was such a pleasant surprise. That was the best crossover!
I love how open you are about your doubts when working on projects, it always great to see you overcome them!
The overwhelming joy when she got to making her first Lathe Thing™ is so wholesome and delightful
It has been wonderful watching your growth as a maker through this channel. I've been watching since Wake Up Machine. Your building chops are insanely good and seeing the challenges you've faced over these years laid out so vulnerably is a big deal for a lot of us. Thank you for doing what you do.
It's pretty crazy to look back at! I've been thinking I should revisit some of my old projects and rebuild them to see how differently I would solve the problems now.
You should go ahead and add felt to the puzzle tabletop. A lot of lipped puzzle tables (as well as a puzzle mat I saw in a catalog where you can roll up and store the completed puzzle) have felt surfaces.
Many card tables also have felt surfaces, so this one could pull double duty.
10:57 is an insanely clean edit, and I appreciate the tiny bathroom floor to match the tiny bathtub probably more than I should.
If ya talking bout the banging and movement lining up wit the music, then hell yes! Thank you for pointing it out
I was just about to comment about this, fantastic editing.
Thought I was alone about the bath floor
I reckon you'd do well selling plans for this, or pairing up with someone to produce a kit with the routed parts. Really elegant design.
there is 200 percent a market for this.
Im a tabletop gamer and, while i would need a larger size, this would be great for me.
Laser in custom logo/artwork and you've got a better product than can be store bought.
Just sayin, I would buy the heck out of this.
I’d buy it!
this is a manufacturing nightmare no company will support a product like this
That is seriously rad! I love the mid centruy scandinavian vibes from the design. and having a fear of table saws and lathes is incredibly healthy. Kickback is terrifying and spinny things are always dangerous.
Maybe it's just me, but when the trumpet-sounds from the montage started, all I could think of was Pippi Longstocking trumpet-ting her Christmas-song, in the Christmas episode. There's something utterly Swedish about (certain/similar) trumpet-songs like that.
I mean, I don't think I'd associate trumpets with Italy or something, trumpets belong to sweden.
The table is great but her self awareness at the beginning is so adorkable.
How many times have I thought “I know this is a bad idea and there are better ways to do it, but I’m going to do it anyway”.
Fantastic work Simone! Bonus Evan & Katelyn too! =D
I love that I came across your channel and that I can watch a woman being technical and working on engineering stuff like this! Also, the table is soo beautiful, I would definitely buy it if it were for sale! Much love

New . Hit👌🏿✌️, ✌️Fresh
Hey Simone, considering you have so many comments I don't know if you will ever read this, but I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you make and create and project in the exact way that you do. I have struggled with mental health issues for so many years that it has made it impossible for me to be able to manifest the kind of maker life that i've always wanted and thought i would someday have, but being able to watch you go through your processes and learn with you and see your creations..it's just such a blessing to me. It fulfills a significant need in my life that I have not been able to fulfill for myself yet. So thank you. It means more than you know. x
Simone, I am so glad to have happened upon your videos. I love your example of always sticking the landing! I'm over twice your age, but that's my approach to creative work, too. Totally different fields, but same-same. Thanks very much from a seventy-year-old admirer in Israel.
I was so pleasantly surprised when you said you were having Evan and Katelyn over! Three of my favorite makers in the same room just hanging out and being friends 😊
Yes!
SAME
The pure excitement when Evan and Katlyn showed up? My three favorite chaos RUclipsrs are all in one spot.
Um... that was amazing.
I would just spend all day moving the table
I watch loads of woodworking videos and never comment. But this is amazing. Really impressed and inspired. Thank you ❤
Finding out Simone is friends with Evan and Katelyn gave me the joy in life I didn't know I needed
Same!!!!
SAMEEE

The scope creep that occurs when you enter MYOG land is something I can definitely relate to 😂
10:56 - I must have played that back 10 times, super satisfying how that was synced up to the rhythm of the backing track
Im using this comment as a replay button 😂😂
Same lol.
I think this is an accurate transcription:

That's legit one of the coolest tables ever. You are so correct to be proud! Also, the thumb soaking in the tub and the whole voice over were hilarious.
This is so crazy to see how far Simone has come, so inspiring! This was so creative and beautiful, thank you for doing this and sharing it with us!
This table is amazing! Plus I'm both confused and delighted by Evan and Katelyn being in this video, because that is a cross country crossover.
That emotion at 13:39!! The feeling of joy and pride and the realisation of how much more you can do all at once!
I refuse to believe that you’re not the long lost fun aunt that everyone deserves🥰
When watching stuff like this, I just kinda feel like Simone might be the human embodiment of inspiration.
Can't believe that took you only two months. You're my hero, Simone!
This was definitely not the reaction I expected 😊
As someone who has made functional moving things out of wood before, I felt your pain in my heart. This idea for puzzles/board games is absolutely beautiful though.
My mom used to do jigsaw puzzles often but now shes playing the lame puzzle apps on her tablet. You on the other hand built the coolest table I ever seen and still get to keep the original feeling of (big) jigsaw puzzles. "Claping hands"
"If you've ever learned how to use a new tool...it just feels like infinite fields of possibilities. It's just one of the best feelings in the world!"
YES!!!
I get a similar feeling when I learn a new programming language or framework or library 😁
BEST FEELING EVERRRRR!!!!!!
My uncle loved jigsaw puzzles and was very good at them. He complained to his family that they were too easy. He said that once he had the corners started the rest of it just fell into place. So they bought him a circular puzzle, but he thought that was still a little too easy, so he worked it upside-down so the picture on the puzzle wouldn't give away the location of the pieces.
BTW, that table was a puzzle of a whole different kind and a piece of engineering magic. Well done.
Get him one of those single-color puzzles lol
Simone, the one upgrade I'd recommend for your new table is to add nylon slider strips in the slots on the side walls. That way your rolling top slides easier, so it's a lot less work to open and close.
This was excellent work, and a project I could do! (Lathe work aside since I don't have one.) I'd love to see how you managed the raise/lower function on the inner tabletop.
A little paraffin wax on the tenons would go a long way to solving that problem.
@@stevekreitler9349 I was about to comment the same. Paraffin wax is the ultimate lube for moving wooden parts.
I'm not a maker, I don't have much of a draw toward woodwork or any other tradecraft, but I love watching this channel because I see someone who loves what they do and it makes me happy, also I learn things too ^_^ thanks for sharing this with me/us. When I'm feeling low I like to watch your channel, makes me smile.
not only is it super functional, it’s gorgeous! i love the way the puzzle tabletop meets the two ends of the rolling top.
It actually makes me so happy to see Simone and E&K together as friends lol :D
I have been working as a carpenter for about 20 years and I'm so insanely impressed with you and your table. 😍 Just wow and 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
As somebody who enjoys lathe work and has a basic understanding, it's really cool to see somebody more... seasoned, than myself figuring and getting over their fear of it is really cool.
Now I wanna buy one, gonna sell my arm for it.
Literally subscribed when I saw the "behind the scenes" of the thumb tub bit. Like, for real? That's hilarious. Insane dedication.
