Giant Cassette Tape Coffee Table Build
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- After sketching this out 6 months ago, it was finally time to build a cassette tape coffee table. Made of baltic birch and walnut, this full size coffee table is scaled exactly from the tapes in the 80's we all loved. This cassette is fully functioning like a real cassette would be.
Absolutely awesome build!!! You should have ended with a large piece of scotch tape over one of the holes!! Great video.
Thank you. That would have been a pretty funny outro taping them up!
Interesting build. I would never have thought to make a coffee table like that. Nice work.
Thank you! I was very pleased with the results.
Great Concept, Superb Execution.
@@Phase2-music Thank you!
Amazing build.
Love how you showed mistakes and how you fixed them.
Also? You should have named the tape "favorite mix" and created some, tape salad.😂😂😂😂
I appreciate that!
Haha, I actually considered doing the label mirrored from Beastie Boys License to Ill since it was my first tape. Favorite Mix looking hand written would have been nice too! Great ideas!
Very Cool!!! I dig that you put the big pencil in the to turn it at the end.
@@mooreoutdoor9841 Thanks, I couldn't pass up that opportunity to make the pencil to rewind it!!!
Great video and great build man! I really appreciate you talking through your thought processes and showing the things that went wrong too
Thank you. I feel like it was important to include both the wins and losses.
@@shadeTreeWorks Definitely. I feel like not only does it help others learn from your mistakes, but I think it also makes viewers appreciate the end result that much more. Great stuff again, I subscribed, can't wait to see more builds!
Looks good
@@raygann6563 Thank you!
Great video!
Thanks man!
Thats actually very cool
@@mostafaelkady1957 Thank you
This is amazing. Much respect!
@@LazyFloridian Thank you!
Awesome work and patience great work my man
@@pedrodias5813 Thank you!
Incredible!
@@MJLWoodWorks Thank you!
This build is absolutely fantastic!
Thank you for that journey of creating.
Also,
If you could batch out a handful of those, I'm certain you could make a mint from them🤑
Thank you for this. It was a long build for me and I tried my best to include the highs and lows.
There has definitely been a flurry of people reaching out asking for a price and how fast I could get them one. It is tempting to do a run of them in the background.
Wow!! Great job!
@@skillsquadgirl Thanks!
Brings back good memories. I use to record my favorite songs from the radio when I was too cheap to purchase them from Tower Records, lol. I need to make a cassette tape shirt for nostalgia purposes. Excellent build, just subscribed.
Tower Records, that's a throw back. Loved that place! I had so many tapes made from the radio at my house too. Sometimes like a game of chess trying to skip the talking, but get the whole song. Haha
Really cool project! Nice job!
@@FineLineJoinery Thank you. Was a fun one to work through!
Amazing. Next up, boombox sofa
Haha, a wooden boombox project would be fun. One of my first projects when mp3 players first came out, I built a wooden boombox powered by a Barbie Jeep battery, car amp, and speakers. We used that thing camping forever! Thanks!
Awesome mate! Love the use of the large pencil at the end. New subscriber here
@@preciousmetalautomotivelif3060 Thank you and thanks for the sub. I am looking forward to getting the next projects rolling.
Awesome 😊
@@fernandofonseca6326 Thank you
I've seen a few other woodworkers here on YT switch to sanding stations when detailing small parts, instead of hoping their multi-horsepower routers won't chew up the parts or their hands. Look up Pask Makes, if you haven't.
Loved the journey, ofc. Keep on growing!
I dig Pask Makes builds! For the sanding, over time I've tried to slow myself down because it can really out of spec fast. It usually happens the moment I think, I'll just hit this one more time. Haha.
I have a few really neat projects lined up for the next builds. I'm trying to work harder on telling the story of the build in the videos. It's a fun challenge.
Looks great! The ply in the legs really pulls them together with the top.
@@tektrixter Thanks, I was really on the fence until I laid it out, then I couldn't imagine it without it.
Super cool! Great job!
@@jasonmconie7266 Thank you very much!
This would look good with a couple of 8 track end tables and a victrola hutch.
Heck yeah!
Great idea and great execution. That did look like a fun build, albeit some definite obstacles in the process…but I guess that’s one of the things I love about woodworking!
@@kspencer_handcrafted Thank you. This one was tricky because I kept changing little details.
Thank you for sharing. I am a new subscriber thanks to this video. I hope you have a great day. Happy Fourth of July.
@@bgpappy30 Thank you for watching and the sub, happy 4th to you too!
Nice
@@marciowashingtonmartins3954 Thanks!
Good build. The incorporation of the cnc and other tools in the shop and how to make them not only more precise but also safer was fantastic. Would you have maybe been able to make a jig on the cnc to help your clamping method of the legs? Take a second think about that cuz I’m sure there is!
Thank you. I like this suggestion and think it could really help that glue up if I do make a run of them. Good call!
You need to make a couple CD/DVD end tables to match..
@@504hotboi5 Those would be solid editions. Make one a discman, the other the disc for it!
@@shadeTreeWorks That's a great idea, I can't wait to see how they turn out..
This is amazing. 100% incredible craftsmanship, through and through.
The only thing that bothers me about this is that I feel like you missed an opportunity to make it electronically functional.
Forgive me, as I'm a massive electronics person in addition to a DIY enthusiast, and so the first thing I thought was "Hell, you could probably find an old Reel to Reel player, use a bunch of old tape and actually spool this thing up so that it had a couple of buttons on the side that would either make it play or record? Or, IDK. Hook up an old 8-track tape or something. Slap in a bluetooth transmitter (or go for broke and mount speakers in the legs) and make this thing an actual functioning tape.
I think with a bit more clever engineering, you could totally fit all of the stuff inside.
I was totally on that path at first to motorize it, but man those lazy susan maybe have wood bearings and the metal just painted foil. 😆
I could totally see threading and old reel in there! I like the way you think :)
@@shadeTreeWorks Can't wait to see the V2 video. ;) Look at videos by JamesBrunton, he does some incredible 3D printing stuff with bearings. Or hell, I could print some parts for you if needed. With some "press-fit" bearings and otherwise off-the-shelf parts, I bet you could make this thing a fully workable tape player/recorder.
And heck, IDK what kind of friends you have, but if you knew anybody musical - this could be an *insane* analogue "loop deck".
I'll keep that in mind if/when I revisit it. Working on a pencil lamp project right now that is gonna be pretty slick for my daughters. I have another music themed project after that which will be pretty over the top.
@@shadeTreeWorks Check out WLED, get some WS2812B strips. Don't buy the generic "junk" with that awful remote. ;)
Seems to be inspired by a channel of a German guy called Lets bastel. He did a very similar project.
Thanks, I'll have to look them up and check it out!
Awesome work! Love all the details you put in it. Did you already have that pencil? Or did you have to get it for the table, just in case. 😂
@@fiveduckstudio Thanks! I actually made the pencil just for a prop while waiting on the glue to dry lol. That said, the next project is making a pencil lamp where the cap eraser is the lamp shade, so it was also testing the water.
@@shadeTreeWorks that's awesome! Can't wait to see the video!
big pencil funny
I was gonna try to band it behind my ear for a shot, but never got around to it. Haha
