The Industrial-Organic Table: A Lego Gear Creation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- When I made the Lego gear table a couple of months ago, I only made three legs for it thinking it would work like a three-legged stool. But it was pointed out, and it is kind of clear now, that the Lego gear has four quadrants in its design and having three legs is a little odd. So I've made a fourth leg. I've also wanted to play with sculpting in Blender (modeling software). This was a good opportunity to make something more interesting than just a cone shaped leg. I used Blender to sculpt a leg with a ball and claw foot. I glued up pieces of the same maple that I used for the other legs to make something with a large enough diameter. I cut out the leg on the 4th axis on the CNC machine. Then I finished up the ends on the lathe. I like the juxtaposition of the biological leg next to the industrial look of the Lego gear. It feels a lot like pieces put together just like Lego.

Three pirates and an alien are now hopping around on one leg!
cat's approval says it all.
Not sure if this was mentioned but the jaws on your 4 jaw chuck can be turned inside out in order to grab onto larger pieces!
I love the mixed set look. That is truly a great thing about lego blocks.
I love that you have a Quake III shortcut on your desktop 😄
Been an amazing journey to watch this table and its legs come to life. I love the fourth leg, really adds uniqueness and character to a very impressive table top.
Now you can have a different leg for each season, for each holiday, for each team in the big game... LOTS of projects!
This is a fantastic addition to the Lego Table, I like that it doesn't match and could be a seasonal element.
The Coffee Table Island of Dr. Moreau. Exceptionally designed and executed, and seasonally apropos. Well done!
Frank, the editing is awesome. I am just some 32 year old graphic designer, you'd think I have no reason to watch a woodworking channel.
But it helps me so much with creative problem solving and lateral thinking, plus I grew up watching This Old House and carpentry shows on PBS, so this is my whole jam.
That and I have anxiety and depression, but your videos help calm my day. Thanks for all you do, and looking forward to see your next project!
I'm a forklift driver and have subbed 365 channels and none of them feature forklifts. Well, maybe CEE.
I first came for the editing. BTW the Frankenstein look if the table is of circumstance.
In my opinion, That's a Major Award!
You continue to be, probably, my all-time favorite RUclips creator. There's something that is both very relaxing and deeply satisfying about both the project you are making or building and the way in which you edit your videos that just make me smile inside and out. Thanks for letting me watch.
I like that with this you can randomly make and swap out different legs on a whim. Maybe a lego skeleton leg would look good too.
The table went from - Cool table, dude! To - Duude! Freaking cool table!!!
really love this whole tables trilogy
Great video! This looks like a gargoyle dinosaur rooster leg. Always impressed with how well Frank makes some of the ugliest things.
I am getting Christmas ornament vibes for this year. Kind of like the leg lamp from A Christmas Story...
I was seriously thinking this was gonna be a full set of legs. But I like the way it was done
Mr Howrath: God must have thought Himself pretty clever when he created you. Part engineer part artist part programmer part cinematographer and part architect - not to mention apparently a nice family man too.
You, sir, are the modern equivalent of a Renaissance Man!
What a treat to have your video drop. You bring joy into the world with each video. Thank you!
You could do a robot leg and just have an assortment of legs. Change them around for fun.
When you said you were the only one that really liked it, I was reminded of the Christmas Story Lamp. Loved the video. Thanks Frank
I love how that table just gets weirder and weirder. I think it needs ears and a tail.
Thank you Frank for sharing your time and effort with us. I appreciate you for this.
You come up with such unique, complex, and beautiful ideas, but this, this my friend is an abomination 😆
I love the leg! I agree that the juxtaposition is great. Definitely a conversation starter
Nothing better than a fresh cup of coffee and a new Frank Howarth video on a Sunday morning!
Thats cool !! well, there are 3 other legs, your wife and kids could come up with their own ideas for each one then everyones happy and it's super unique, a little of everyone in it :)
This is one of your coolest projects. Truly art. Keep it up Frank!
Apart from the leg itself, I like your definition of 'slightly different'...
thats awesome! it made the normal "lego table" to a piece of fine art
I like it with the one biological leg and the other industrial legs thanks for sharing
You should make a leg lamp from a Christmas story that has the peg on the bottom to put in the holes on top for Christmas! Just don't make it frajeely
I love it! I l’île to see the process of how you think and to see the project come together. Awesome job my Friend. Make On
c'est exactement ce qu'il manquait a cet univers pour être complet !
In my opinion you should go back and make three other legs now that are all different, that would be super cool. Idk what the other three should be, but one of them should definitely be a robot.
I think it’s fantastic. My first regular job was spent standing at a drum sander shaping oak claw foot table legs. 30 years later whenever I put on a 3M dust mask the smell immediately takes me back there.
Very nice. Thinking of the Lego theme… a Lego man head would be a cool object to turn. The eyes and mouth could be from a darker wood like walnut. And it sets you up to have the rest of the figure as a future project.
"Slightly Different" he says, HA HA thats a good job Frank, will we see more sculpting, I like that, so many things can be done and was are only limited to our imagination, AWESOME!
"when something is small, you really can't do anything with it", yes exactly, thats my problem!
I like the quake 3 shortcut 😄🤟
Wow, the sky's the limit with this setup !!
Frank, you did a fantastic job designing the leg and cutting it! I think it looks great!
If you made another leg AND a couple harms with sort of hands, it would be a leg alien walking on its hands and legs as our four legged animals do (onlt wirth two arms/hands). Haha.
Ok, that looks super dope! I am sure at some point your family will agree with that 😁
It's a major award!
Cool project! Interesting use of the CNC.
First i thought to the movie *Metropolis* and then i remembered the film poster of *Rollerball* aha
Really nice as usual !
That works well together.
If they don't like it, they can make their own table.
This could be a whole thing. You could make 3 (or two) completely new legs. (One mechanical looking, one plant-looking, one connected or interlocking geometric shapes). Then you can swap them out based on your mood or holiday. (One that looks like a stack of presents, or hearts, or suits (for poker night) that kind of thing.)
Great video Frank! There is a simple technique for quickly making a cylinder from the first piece of wood... You write a short G code: turn de 4th axis while moving slowly the X axis, without changing Z height. It's like a spiral profile.
Of course you are a master wood turner, but you can use the same code for any piece, just setting the initial bit height and changing the distance for X. Have a nice Sunday everyone! Max from Argentina 🇦🇷
So good on so many levels. Wood, Lego, Blender, CNC and the fantastic art! Looks almost like a gargoyle claw.
I wouldn't have ever thought of reading these words combined in one Sentence but Frank made it possible.
Reminds me of the leg lamp from 'A Christmas Story'
As always, very interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing
I agree with the look of random Lego pieces. But now I feel like it should have 4 totally different legs.
I like that one-off leg for the Lego table! It adds A LOT of visual interest. [also, the video effects and production values for this episode were EXCELLENT!]
Frank,
Thanks for all your fantastic content!
You are a true inspiration 👍🏼
It does, oddly work together!
I can't help but feel like we're watching the Mad Scientist Woodworker evolve from the unassuming Architect. LOOOOOVE IT, definitely hasn't been done on "The RUclips", I see a new superhero movie in our future!!
I absolutely love this. Well done
This looks like it belongs in Sid’s room in Toy Story with the mutant toys. 😊
I'm still curious why you didn't opt for the most obvious thin to do to start with- making 4 legs that resemble actual pieces of Lego, even if they weren't matching, but the same length.
Nice work! That took some planning!
Great job Frank as usual.
You are an artist. I think this organic design is just the beginning of lots more beautiful artwork to come.
The final piece reminds me of Sid's mutant toys in the movie "Toy Story."
Nice LEG-o build.
More than a leg to stand on, you got a leg up on that project, Frank! What is nice about the CNC now is that you can make more legs...which I think 4 clawfeet would be nice. Awesome results as always!
I had a thought to drill four more holes in the chuck adapter. This would add future project versatility.
A really nice design.👍I would like a table where all legs were "ballclaw". 🙂
Love it. Make 3 more legs all different, one of which has to be a Lego leg.
I do kinda like it honestly. Never seen a cnc machine that rotates like that, interesting!
But the table overall seems a bit impractical 😅
Things I look for in a table:
1. Is the top flat? Nope.
2. Is the top solid? Nope.
From a design perspective, I feel like this table should have a single, centered leg with a smaller Lego wheel base.
That's really neat, Frank. Looks like it was a lot of fun. At least the cat seemed to like it.
Bill
I like that about it, too.
This is getting stranger each time
I think the reason the leg looks human is that the first joint of the leg bends like a knee - as on a human - and not like an ankle as on a cat, dog or horse. We have the same parts, but on animals, the heel is never close to the ground and isn't part of the foot. Nice sculpting!
Love this look as well. Your videos are so incredibly inspiring!
I really like the idea of having a basket full of legs off to the side of your couch. If you run with this idea will you do the lamp from 'A Christmas Story' as you next leg?. Other ideas, in increased complexity: a groundhog looking down, 2 Easter bunnies in a trench coat, and George Washington giving a thumbs up.
I think that you should give yourself another leg up on that project Frank! 😂😂👏👏
Fantastic work, Frank! Really well done! 😃
And I absolutely agree, this feels even more like a lego piece!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Lovely as always.
Dude you have to do 4 of them now!
For some Halloween upcoming, how about a segmented wood carved face pumpkin made on the CNC?
Love it. So good, thank you Frank.
One more time you amaze me with your creativity. Excellent job!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍❤️
That new leg is way more interesting than the other 3. Looks great!
If Lego man and Mrs Potato Head had a baby, it would be this table.
Ha ha
I really like the video editing you have one your videos... They really make you stand out from the other makers on RUclips
I’m sorry Frank, but I have to agree with the rest of your family! I have never seen a table with three legs alike and a fourth leg completely different. You did do a great job on the leg though. lol
I like it., might even like other three that way., I have yet to try 4th access, maybe soon. I try something. thanks again for the motivation.
Hey Frank, your videos are soo cool. I am inspired to up my computer skills as well as woodworking. Your dilemma with the adapter, you can just drill some more holes in your existing metal adapter to accept smaller pieces and make them spaced out to not take away strength. Your shop is awesome too!
That's so cool!
As always, excellent craftsmanship, design and end-product, not to mention editing and explaining!
I’ve never been a fan of ball and claw legs, but I always respected and admired the craftsmanship and skills involved in making them. Your’s went a little further with the “animal” upper portion.
Personally I’d have opted for another Lego-inspired piece for the legs, but that’s just me.
I’ve always wanted to mention that every machine in that workshop looks comically large! Love it! 😉
The Cyborg!! Love it!
Very nice what you make , and I 'm also a Lego fan
Very nice, but interesting enough that you are using Blender sculpting features. You are a unique woodworker artist. Inspiring work.
You'er a Master of the Craft way does it remind me of A Chrismas story lamp leg
I like your Frankentable!
It is cool, Frank.
