      There are so many maker channels that make it look easy, because they don't show the moments of frustration. It's self affirming for regular Joes to see the mistakes the pros make.
      Fisher's Shop does the same thing.

      I don't know how to do anything mechanical, but I think that if you have a scale underneath that sends a signal to electromagnets holding the bottom of the table up, it could work.

    Brad thank you for the candid video. Too many makers will not show the mistakes, but by doing so you show that you're human.
    It reminds me of the puzzle boxes that were sold in Turkey (early '80s) that were jewelry boxes. You had to move 2 or 3 pieces to get to the key and another to get to the lock.
    Did you consider a magnetic catch imbedded into the charger section?

    I got the perfect build for you, because im already in the process of building it. It is a nice book hutch for a bed room. It has two cabinets on the bottom on either side and an open shelf in the middle. Above this is two drawers side by side. The top is 3/4 walnut plywood with edge banding. The book shelf is inset from the two sides 6 inches and 4 inches from the front. The feet run all the way up the corners to meet the top. There are two angled cuts on the feet one is from the inside corners runing to the floor. The other is only along the sides running from the base to where it meets the table top. Great video thanks.👍🤠

  • @_WillCAD_
    @_WillCAD_ 4 года назад

    That's a beautiful project. I love the contrast between the walnut and the blue epoxy.
    The locking mechanism is genius, but the whole pull-reverse-push unlock is a little awkward. It also puts the longer pin inside the drawer when in the locked position, so it's likely to catch on or poke hole in some of the drawer's contents at some point.
    I would have liked it if the center of the R was a push-button release, like the button on your nightstand project. You could have filled the letter with blue epoxy to match what you used on the bottom, or you could still fill it with clear epoxy even now. Or, find some nice bright blue glow in the dark additive for the epoxy fill so the letter lights up in the dark.
