Hey izzy awesome build! I’m a pro wood carver and one thing that always happens in a project of any size is I have a mess of tool lying everywhere. I think I could use this by my work station to double as a place to lay my tools as needed and to tuck them away when I’m done for the day!! I love it
At first, I'm thinking this is cool but not very practical but then when you got to the end of it and demonstrated it I saw the real genius behind the idea that is very awesome man very awesome indeed
The correct term is counterbore. To countersink is to make the head of a screw flush to the surface. To counterbore is to recess the head of a screw below the surface. Cool build. As someone who has had to live in a limited space environment most of my life a shelving system like that is a great solution.
I'm a bit late to the party but my skills have reached the point where I am ready to tackle some really fun stuff to build instead of standard cabinets and while I don't have a tiny home I don't have a lot of space. Your build gave me an idea for a cabinet that I can hang on the back of a door that is always left open and instead of an ugly ironing board hanging there I can turn that table into an ironing table with a quick trip to Joann's for a heat resistant mat that I can roll up and I can store my iron and all the other accessories that I use when doing laundry. Thank you.
Absolutely love it. As chance would have it I am at a stage where I am contemplating a kitchen table. I hate doors. There is something horribly Freudian about them. They lead to cupboards then who knows where. Seriously though they get in the way are are constantly blocking you in a restricted environment you cant just walk around them. Bane of tiny space living. The cabinet is over engineered, Man its blast proof. Food for thought. Many Thanks..
Currently renovating the wife's laundry room and this will work great as a fold down folding table for clothes as they come out of the dryer. Thanks for the idea.
Yes, for tiny houses, but for any craft corner, an excellent sewing cabinet, accessible in minutes...machine (the heavy part) on the bottom with felt glides, outlet inside so machine could stay plugged in, plastic shoe boxes on shelves for notions (sideways), and puts away in seconds without lifting. LOVE it!
This would be great in a small dwelling space of any design. One could build in a second cabinet space behind the fold-down table/shelf, to accommodate even more storage space in a kitchen or bath closet space. I've put this in my saved file for future build projects. Thanks, Izzy.
According to my 'Murican partner, we need these in EVERY British house because the rooms are so f-ing small! Love this build and looking forward to the alternative. Great ideas from fellow disabled folk in the comments too! +1 for some counterweights or springs to control folding out/in
Great idea and nice video, I'm going to do this in my garage. Might even make one for my wife for her craft stuff. I would make one adjustment and that would be adding nylon washers in between the the moving wood part's, that way the wood doesn't wear out.
My head hurts after watching your how to videos. There are a lot of creative videos out there but yours are on a genius level. Please keep cranking your ideas out to us sloped head woodworkers. Tim
That's as cool as your bookshelf like it , I think it's awesome, I'll save the link and spread it around as I can think about it wherever it seems appropriate.
Good idea, makes sense as a station for a particular activity. An extra shelf at the top that butts up to the top of the cabinet and can't hold anything would be the empty work space when dropped.
Izzy the bit you are using is a counterboring bit & your wour is impecable as Normal.I really like the way you are encouraging your followers to actively participate in the final decision making. Keep up your magical and enlightening work.
What a great idea for a limited space👍👍. This would be an ideal for a bedroom with an extra closet to make a false storage area Behind your folding table. Makes a Great make-up vanity for the wife and behind it.A false wall for a large gun safe or heirlooms in jewelry stuff. If you critique it and make it far more eye appealing you will have high end customers interest in this. This is a great idea even in the garage or instant bar In the living room for entertaining👍👍
Awesome project and great video, brother. Maybe put a few strong magnets on the backside of top shelf to keep it from freely falling down when opening doors. Keep up the awesome work though. 👍
This product is so cool so versatile comes with amazing accessories very useful for all projects. Considering all that it can do it’s priced very well.
Man you such a Natural for a Tiny House project with all their Folding technology! I LOVE that folding movable stuff and i cant think of someone as good as you to do it!!
Idea for skipping the pin slot when the shelf is fully raised. Inset a strong magnet in the side rails and then in the side of the cabinet box, they 'click' together when the shelves are fully raised. Genius build, like all beautiful things it is fun just to see it in action
So cool. I'm in the process of designing a 14ft Vardo camper right now. This would be a cool way to save some space but I will wait to see the next build before I decide which is the better build.
Tambour doors will free up some space but it might go thicker. The less sexy side is make the doors fold down for the table top and the shelves stay in place. But I was digging the music. Wish you’d linked to it. I’ll have to look it up.
I like this idea. could it be adapted to a spice cabinet? Could a wall cabinet be adapted to have these narrow shelves drop down like stairs so that it reaches or rests on a counter top and you can see all your spices there? And then be able to put 'em all away back up in the cabinet?
What a great shop, and excellent tools, for your drop table/shelf, you could could have a swing arm on the bottom, for support, but cupboard door as a drop down table is way better, than moving everything on the shelf
Very cool! I'm thinking a narrow full-length table squeezed in beside the shelf-table for most quick meals without any clearing away of cups, etc... Added benefit would be a wider overall table when both are flipped down for game night!
I like this concept, I'm excited to see what the other one is. I would probably want something like this but with 3 shelves that are a little deeper to easily fit a full sized plate or laptop on maybe? That way it could be stored away when not needed/used, an minimize the space needed for dish storage.
Wonderful idea, Thinking if the door opened upward (like cabinets in a RV ) no concern of needed space for the doors and maybe come lighting on the door to light up your table when deployed. love the video
Tres neat. This is wickedly awesome. I like your gift of 3 dimensional perspective. Not many people have that gift. I would have to to this by trial and error. Looking to the next one!
That’s a great idea, think I’ll use that in my tiny workshop, but modify it with 2 pulley handles which can act as legs, and put a magnet on the back of the shelf to hold it up
Cool idea! How about putting "floating" shelves in the cabinet ( just above the fold out shelves) to put the paint cans on, then when the fold out shelves come down, you have an empty table to work on, and all the paints are within reach. Or cans of beans or what ever. You'd still have to clean the table off to put it away.
Make it bigger and use square tubing for the posts. Maybe make the door flip down? Bonus points if the door can be used like a support wing for the folded out table.
That is fantastic! If you put the pins on the outside, the doors would cover the pins when they are open. You would have to remove the pins before opening the doors. Not sure if that would be much of an issue....
drill holes on the right side of the planks, to store screwdrivers and the likes. When flat, the left side acts as a work surface. Briliant little idea btw. Briliant
Like this. Are you planning on making the final version a little bigger. The shelves may need to be deeper if your planning on putting plates on it. Which will make it taller. So you may not want to put another level, just make the shelves deeper.
Really love that design Izzy. Suggestion: perhaps you could make those front doors open & slide to the back sides of the cabinet so that they are totally out of the way. I don't know what the terminology is for those types of doors but I have seen them somewhere. Anyway, looking forward to the next video............... Stay safe............. 👍👍😉😉
HEY izzy love the channel and i think all your builds serve one purpose better than the other not that ones overall better than the other. As some one who is building a container home into a mansion i appreciate the hard work and effort into the projects. (my dad and me remodeled our old house and towards the end it was mostly me until he sold it. but we ate the local subway went to the local big box store struggled and learned things along the way. this project triggered something in me and really brought out the core woodwork design and innovative thought process in me to keep going and i can only hope it did others.) A flat countersink is called a counter bore. just for future reference.
I like it. Very cool idea. I think that the doors should have an extra hinge so they could fold in half to help them open and close in a cramped environment and fold back next to the cabinet if it is not a built in.
Great project, but what do you think of applying the self leveling to fold away stairs?... I've long had the idea of turning a sliding barn door into a fold out stairs for a tiny house.... . French door floor bolt lock can lock it in place, 2 side bars can be pulled out to rotate the inner frame transitioning it from vertically flat to horizontal shelf arrangement and then the inner frame tilts out the bottom and lowers as it's pulled out to give it the stair angle and the shelves become steps and the two bars become rails... Left as shelf, it could also be a ladder... For 3 in 1 functionality... Or 4 in 1 if deep enough to also serve as shelving and still not get in the way of the other functions and just doesn't fold vertically flat. Alternatively, it can be a fold down stairs... Either part of the flooring of the loft or a catwalk that lowers and becomes steps but doesn't take up space like attic ladders/stairs do... I don't have a workshop to make a prototype but you could definitely consider it... Specifically had tiny houses in mind for it...
Fun idea - made me think of a tiny office. Make the cabinet deeper than the shelves and mount a monitor at the back of the cabinet behind the fold-down shelving. Or put the shelves on the doors, fold down flat table being those in the cabinet and monitor behind that. Would provide usable storage whilst using the surface. :-)
Izzy Swan, so glad to you up and operating again! Looks like the back is repaired and holding up ! Your a blessing and really enjoy your work! Can almost see the little gears in your head turning as you go forth!
Edited to fix mobile auto-corrections: @Izzy - my idea = do NOT use the table as shelves. I would re-engineer it so that the cabinet doors when up close the cabinet. When the doors come down they make the table. The way you have it address the following concerns: 1) there is no additional space needed to open the cabinet doors. 2) if one puts dishes /cups on the shelves they almost all have to be removed to lower to table position - if not, one has to worry about them shifting, getting in the way of other shelves, falling over, etc as the shelves move. Making the doors become the table resolved all of those concerns! Store the dishes and fold up the table/close the dishes into the cabinet. Open the cabinet/create the table and remove the dishes to set the table to eat. IDK... Thinking... Rotate the door up and they create four wider shelves. Pull them down and creates a table top... That might take some thinking!
i agree. the design is cool and i do like the transformation. but i think it is unnecessary over complicated. i would also prefer to use the doors as table. even if this brings up th issue of how to easily open the cabinet if you don't want to use the table. never the less I'm looking forward to the second design.
Nah.. the doors being vertical helps prevent the shelves from wanting to come forward without you pulling them, as they have to push the doors open as well. While if make the "door" into a shelf itself, if something on the shelves is sitting forward wanting to fall out, you have no way to just reach in and grab it without opening the whole door and gravity wants to let the shelves push the door open if not locked in place. Look at these style of shelves that are mass produced and they all have dual vertical doors for this reason. Plus a vertical opening door means then the door itself also needs some sort of retention system added to hold it flat as a table, which there lacks room inside to hide, so you have to put it outside of the cabinet.
@@MattWeber I don't think you understand what I was saying. The shelves in my idea wouldn't move - they would be fixed. If nothing was leaning against the door when you closed it - it wouldn't be leaning against it when you opened it. The door would transition from vertically flat to a horizontally flat table. When up it would keep the occupants of the shelves on the shelves by acting as a door. When down it would transition to a table and the shelves would be accessible. There would just need to be a couple of pins to keep the door closed. Already, as Iggy stated - he would put the pins in his design on the outside.
Standard cupboard. One big door that can slide vertically to access the cupboard Or fold out to be a table. Could be preferable to make it slide either up or down depending on surrounding.
Mason jars on the bottom of the shelves. Then they hang under the table when lowered but it’s still usable storage when up. May need to space the shelves out a little more to access the jars when up.
I would consider using steel box tubing for the vertical shelve/horizontal table supports... I think you could make something that would be strong enough to sit on.
Izzy I watch your vids with my young daughter. See loves woodwork. You could consider legs from the top shelf that would always remain vertical. They would cover the parallelagrams at the side, and reach the floor when it's in table mode. Would obviously give extra strength, but dictate the height of the unit in some fashion.
Izzy is a genius. I don’t know what else to say.
say thanks 😁
The ones that give you thumbs down are the ones who are going to copy it and make a profit. Good luck. great ideas.
the red shirt guy is what I did for a living! the boredom was unexplainable! building furniture! saw catch! thanks for the vids, I've learned alot
Hey izzy awesome build! I’m a pro wood carver and one thing that always happens in a project of any size is I have a mess of tool lying everywhere. I think I could use this by my work station to double as a place to lay my tools as needed and to tuck them away when I’m done for the day!! I love it

You are the poster boy for working smarter, not harder. The music helps too. Love it!
I wish all men are as handy like this genius guy. Very functional.

8:34 Great use for Speed Tape that I hadn't thought of before.
Great design and multiple functions. You da man!

I’m about to convert my box trailer into a small camper for hunting season. This is an addition I will be putting in. It is super slick.
This would be great in a small dwelling space of any design. One could build in a second cabinet space behind the fold-down table/shelf, to accommodate even more storage space in a kitchen or bath closet space.

I sent this vid to my daughter who has built a simple fold down table for her little home nail salon. I think she'll like this. tx.

Look awesome! I wouldn’t even worry about the cabinet. Just mount it to the wall! Use it as a display shelf.
Izzy the bit you are using is a counterboring bit & your wour is impecable as Normal.I really like the way you are encouraging your followers to actively participate in the final decision making.
Keep up your magical and enlightening work.
Hi Izzy can you put a t- slide out on the the bottom of the cabinet to get the table or shelfes to move out a little more. Nice build
What a great idea for a limited space👍👍. This would be an ideal for a bedroom with an extra closet to make a false storage area Behind your folding table.

Very cool. Narrowboaters in the UK should know about this.
Ich bin begeistert, Du bist ein absolut genialer Handwerker!

Genius build, like all beautiful things it is fun just to see it in action
amazing build as all ways
Neat build. Maybe a set of small wings that tuck under the cabinet to take some of the weight off of the shelf supports when it's extended.
So cool. I'm in the process of designing a 14ft Vardo camper right now.
This would be a cool way to save some space but I will wait to see the next build before I decide which is the better build.
Awesome idea! For better stability you could have legs that fold down from the top shelf.
Great concept. For a tiny house this is going to be hard to beat. Will decide after next video.

Very clever design, as Gail says you are a modern day Leonardo Da Vinci, and I whole heartedly agree! Great job brother. Miss you man
What a great shop, and excellent tools, for your drop table/shelf, you could could have a swing arm on the bottom, for support, but cupboard door as a drop down table is way better, than moving everything on the shelf
I cannot even imagine what goes on in your head when the video pauses. Amazing.
What a fabulous design, and thanks for sharing.
Perfect for my van build.
Bobs yer auntie...
Cockford Ollie identity confirmed. 👍😉
This is just beyond awesome. Pure beauty in its simplistic engineering and functionality.
Very cool! I'm thinking a narrow full-length table squeezed in beside the shelf-table for most quick meals without any clearing away of cups, etc... Added benefit would be a wider overall table when both are flipped down for game night!
COOL! Somewhere down the line I might borrow the idea. No cnc version, just maybe a personal use. Well done!!

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar! Here, here.
That is realy a nice piece for a small camper van type of situation thanx mr. swan
Outstanding Izzy. Priceless video as well. Extremely well done.
Tres neat. This is wickedly awesome. I like your gift of 3 dimensional perspective. Not many people have that gift. I would have to to this by trial and error. Looking to the next one!
July 27,2020 05:57a.m here in the Philippines at the Davao area of Mindanao....so awesome idea make every side of the room very useful...
Nice build .... As you say a porto type ..... The cabinet doors could have spice rack type rack as well ,,,,,, and a deeper main space ..
Super creative very versatile; I would prefer that prototype
Fashioned after your greenhouse shelves, very cool.
Cool cabinet. Very, very snazzy video. Nice work on both.
Very clever.Of course.Looking forward to next one
That’s a great idea, think I’ll use that in my tiny workshop, but modify it with 2 pulley handles which can act as legs, and put a magnet on the back of the shelf to hold it up

Or cans of beans or what ever. You'd still have to clean the table off to put it away.
Good music choice in this one. Glad to see you cranking stuff out.
Consider a peg leg for the table edge for better stability with elbows on table or kids climbing on it
That's really clever. Can you provide the ratios between the length of upper and lower arms? And the attachment points?
Make it bigger and use square tubing for the posts. Maybe make the door flip down? Bonus points if the door can be used like a support wing for the folded out table.
That’s awesome Izzy and they do say the first idea is usually the best.
That is fantastic! If you put the pins on the outside, the doors would cover the pins when they are open. You would have to remove the pins before opening the doors. Not sure if that would be much of an issue....
You got golden hands and great ideas :)
drill holes on the right side of the planks, to store screwdrivers and the likes. When flat, the left side acts as a work surface. Briliant little idea btw. Briliant
Love watching you engineering mind at work.and you are looking stronger too! Hope you health continues to improve
Threaded inserts a suggestion for final build
Like this.
Are you planning on making the final version a little bigger. The shelves may need to be deeper if your planning on putting plates on it. Which will make it taller. So you may not want to put another level, just make the shelves deeper.
I'm sure glad to see you moving around again. Every week you get better. Good to go..
Really love that design Izzy. Suggestion: perhaps you could make those front doors open & slide to the back sides of the cabinet so that they are totally out of the way. I don't know what the terminology is for those types of doors but I have seen them somewhere. Anyway, looking forward to the next video............... Stay safe............. 👍👍😉😉

fyi - music was ghastly, Please don't burn up the ears. No music is best.
Great project, but what do you think of applying the self leveling to fold away stairs?... I've long had the idea of turning a sliding barn door into a fold out stairs for a tiny house....
.
French door floor bolt lock can lock it in place, 2 side bars can be pulled out to rotate the inner frame transitioning it from vertically flat to horizontal shelf arrangement and then the inner frame tilts out the bottom and lowers as it's pulled out to give it the stair angle and the shelves become steps and the two bars become rails... Left as shelf, it could also be a ladder... For 3 in 1 functionality... Or 4 in 1 if deep enough to also serve as shelving and still not get in the way of the other functions and just doesn't fold vertically flat.

I don't have a workshop to make a prototype but you could definitely consider it... Specifically had tiny houses in mind for it...
I am going to use this for a tiny shop space

It’s called the future love the creativity
Love it! Can't wait to see the next one!
great idea izzy you have endless possibilities but so far it looks great for small areas,your a legend how your brain ticks cool.
Have at it. I live in an RV but same technology applies.
Izzy Swan, so glad to you up and operating again! Looks like the back is repaired and holding up ! Your a blessing and really enjoy your work! Can almost see the little gears in your head turning as you go forth!

Pretty slick shelf table
As a storage layout it is as slick as it gets, good job man
Mason jars on the bottom of the shelves. Then they hang under the table when lowered but it’s still usable storage when up. May need to space the shelves out a little more to access the jars when up.
Looking real good. Hard to beat
Great, that was so nice. After use things will be back to its place. SUPER👍👍
I would consider using steel box tubing for the vertical shelve/horizontal table supports... I think you could make something that would be strong enough to sit on.
