I think if you can find someone just starting out, or a school to give your old, usable tools to, you might find it easier to upgrade.
You might like to know the automatic subtitler says the membership is $149 not $1.49... oops!
you can use wider blades to cut a circle out , if don’t want the off cuts. you cut relief cuts from the outside into your cut line and that way your blade can cut circles or wavy lines.
also an idea on how to fix your table top to your pole inside the stand would be a mountain bike headset fixing. controversial no doubt but it means it can be dismantled. iv never seen it done and i only just thought of it but would love to see it tried.
Okay..... While I'm not a fan of epoxy anything, I do like spalted wood, and how can one not subscribe to a guy with the balls to tell the world he's proud of his hole.
As noted by someone else here, the original design of this table - the tulip table - is by Eero Saarinen. It is still licensed and manufactured by Knoll. There a lot of knock-offs of that design out there, including the one by IKEA. Although it was appropriate that you contacted them, I think the design is universal enough to be considered public domain. Im not a fan of spalted wood, but I love the patterning on the base. Great job!
Patent "TABLE WITH HOLLOW CENTRAL PEDESTAL", Application No. 2,931,578, issued April 25, 1961. Applicant: Eero Saarinen, Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
Hi, but when you search for detail you found that : "Designed by Eero Saarinen, in 1957" . Patents is 20years long, it's not like books or movies (>70years) so np at this time, you cannot just say your product is an original Eero Saarinen product, that's all.
@@jacklang2349 Don't know about the US, but in the EU it's five years for design patents, which can be extended in 5 year increments for up to maximum 25 years. Since "Eero Saarinen" sounds suspiciously Finnish, the interesting legal question is probably how protecting a decades old design in markets outside of Europe works.
That said, as long as you don't try to make a business out of it, you can probably steal designs all day long and stuff your house with them.
This was the first thing I thought when I saw this - there's a British designer who did version as well - it's not 'who owns the design' that annoys me, it's that IKEA was credited as being the originator....
@@patr3199 I noticed that too... could be the reason they did not reply to your Email.. .....
Since you asked why we subscribed, I will tell you. I am an older American woman, and for many years my husband was in the army. While he was away I had to fix everything, from renovating the house to a car wreck to a sick kid to plugged pipes. At one point, I even built an entire little house on a pontoon boat. I was already pretty crafty, so in the end I developed a good deal of skill. I don’t do much wood working now, because we have downsized and don’t have our big tools anymore. However, I find watching woodworking to be extremely relaxing, and I can keep up a little bit on what the new techniques are. I also do enjoy your humor.
Nice story, a resourceful woman... I'm glad you like my sense of humor!
My goodness, we could be sisters, my husband worked away on construction sites, I was always building stuff, fixing the furnace, cutting trees, wood carving, canning food, fixing the tractor, building homes for new animals I dragged home, you name it. He was always surprised when he got home.
@@marmotaworks I just had a handy mother and a father who didn’t believe in getting his hands dirty. She taught me everything she knew, then I added to it.
I just subscribed because I like the way you talk through things step by step. Even if you said it before, I like to be reminded. Also this wood is interesting. I’ve seen wood like it before but had no idea that it was usable if salvaged early enough. It looks like an old map of the world.
About your old tools - I think if you can find someone just starting out in woodworking who can’t afford the tools, or a school to give your old, usable tools to, you might find it easier to upgrade. You seem to be someone who doesn’t like wasting useable things, good on you because that is great for the planet.
@@sventer198 Yes! That's where all my old tools go - to someone who used them, needs them, and doesn't have the money to buy their own yet.
You´re my hero
The easiest way to get rid of old tools is to find someone who has no tools at all and give them yours. Old tools are often a prize to restorers, tinkerers, and those who are in need.
Or sell them then use use to invest in more. Nothing is free except oxygen you breath. 😊
Absolutely, most of the tools I own were given to me by family and such
Surely I'll give it away
After reading the comments, I have to confess, i’m a woman in my 60s and I have renovated my home, built a whole kitchen, bathroom It doesn’t sound so much at all, but I dip it myself. Now I renovate furniture and try to keep track of my tools.
I like to see you using the motor saw and your router is fenomenal. Your jokes fits me perfectly. Well, that’s why I subscribe. AND, of course, I like the things you make!😊
I'm glad to read that. Thanks for the sub!
Nice!!❤🏆
I watch woodworking videos because its such a beautiful craft. I love seeing how much effort and skill goes into pieces I would have taken advantage of.
I like to think that when we buy a house and I get my own tool filled garage Ill do some diys for around the house or even restore some furniture.
But in all honesty it is calming to watch and especially with the voice overs, gives me something to focus my mind on in the evening instead of my mind racing about everything and nothing.
Your voice and video format is soothing and funny. I never fall asleep to it, but it might be what I need to wind my mind down before sleep❤
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that
This is the first video from your channel. The wood is absolutely beautiful and you did a wonderful job . Your wife will treasure this table for years to come.
I'm glad you like it
That is one of the most beautiful tables I've seen, the combination of wood, shape and finishes is stunning...
Its a joy to watch you work combined with a pleasure to hear your thoughts and information... thank you
Thanks a lot!
I just subscribed after watching a couple of your videos. I'm coming up on retirement and contemplating woodworking as a hobby, so I've been watching different content creators to gather information about project types and techniques. I like the pacing and narration of your videos and how you cover the necessary information without getting bogged down in the details. I always appreciate a bit of humor, so don't ever stop with that!
I must also say your thoughts about changing out old tools deeply resonated with me. In my younger days I did mechanical work and still have a lot of those old tools even though many of them should be retired by now. Maybe it's just because I'm a cheapskate... 🤪
Thanks for subscribing! Give woodworking a try as a hobby, you won't regret it.
I watch a lot of woodworking/maker videos on RUclips, and this is one of the most beautiful tables I've ever seen made. I absolutely love it. I have never seen a table made out of this type of wood and it is incredible!
Just to add this was the first video I watched of yours after randomly coming on it. I have now watched a few more and love your style. Great stuff!
Thanks for your nice words!
I just had the same experience -- it came up in my feed, the beautiful wood appealed to me and I was well aware that the Ikea table was not an original Ikea design.
The table is a beauty!
Your table is beautiful thank you for taking the time to make and share this video . Spalted wood looks amazing almost like an abstract painting.
The reason I subscribed. Since you asked....you explain things simply without a lot of waffling on about irrelevant information that makes it easier to take in the information, you're seemingly honest about your issues with a build or project I love the way you own up to getting yourself in a pickle and out again and you can be funny too you have a good narrator voice and your explanations make sense. thank you again taking the time to share your hard earned knowledge.😊
Thanks for your nice words!
I watch because I love seeing experts do what they do. I have little or no practical experience of working with wood - other than making a Cribbage Board with my Dad, about 75 years ago! This table is absolutely beautiful and I found the construction process fascinating. Thanks, from an old lady in the UK.
Thanks for watching
I am one of those who love to watch wood working and I also like your simple explanations
I'm glad you like it
Awww yis. I'm about to fall asleep so good. Narrated marmota works videos are THE BESTTTT.
😄
An absolutly breathtaking masterpiece in spalten beech!!!
Ikea don't get enough money to pay this high ended brilliant work!!!
Chapeau 🎩👍👍🔨🇩🇪
Dankeschön!😄
I am a neuroscientist from Baltimore and I neither have the skills nor the workshop space needed for woodworking but I enjoy watching you work. Your narrations are amazing
I don’t have the necessary knowledge in neuroscience either. I think it’s best if I stick to my workshop and you stick to your laboratory.
I enjoyed watching this build, and your storytelling. Congratulations for your woodworking and audiovisual effort to show details throughout the process.
Thanks for your comment
LOL! I'd never connected the urge to finish my food with my urge to use tools until they were used up or I bought higher quality new ones, but as soon as I heard you I understood the connection. Thanks for making me laugh. Also, that spalted wood really lends itself to the design of the table.
Absolutely beautiful work!! I subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Gorgeous table. Spalted wood can have such a strong impact on the piece. Thoroughly enjoyed your commentary. It helped me understand why you were doing certain tasks I wouldn’t have thought about. Great inspiration.
Many thanks
As you asked for reasons to subscribe... I simply enjoy watching woodwork as the material is beautiful and it relaxes me to see how old stuff gets a new life or simple wood pieces become art. And I know no other woodworker who does designs like you do - the awsome patterns you create are simply stunning, the unusual wood types you use are amazing. I watched the 'silent' videos already, but I very much enjoy the voiced videos, as your humor and your passion come across even more.
Many thanks, I'm glad you like it!
May be one of the most labor-intensive and difficult woodworking designs ever made. Absolutely beautiful! Very well done!
Thanks for your nice words
I love the wood pattern, reminds me of ginkgo leaves, beautifully done, thanks for sharing. ❤🤗🥰❤
😄
Beautiful! Nothing can compare to crafting using natures own treasures of materials. The different colors and patterns in the wood med this table into an amazing piece of art.🙂
Thanks a lot
Brilliant idea and brilliant results, and that table looks nothing like the Ikea one, yours is a work of ART and Ikea? Well, it's Ikea. Thank you for sharing your creative art with us and please; keep them coming. !♥♥♥!
😊
It's not that I am entertained by woodworking per se, but that I am entertained by watching people demonstrate practiced and mastered skills, as well as seeing techniques, tools, and practices in a field I am unfamiliar with. This week, it's woodworking, last week it was clearing drainage culverts of beaver dams, next week it might be music theory or dressage.
I'm glad that during Woodworking Week you chose me.
Beautiful table. Didn’t like the clickbait title. Also it’s a Saarinen tulip table design. Not ikea’s
I don't see much clickbait in that title.
@@marmotaworks Did you personally get sued by IKEA?
@@idkidk8278 not yet
@@marmotaworks so then it was clickbait. Just hate clickbait channels. COuld have been a good watch.
@@marmotaworks Ikea never contacted him in any way.
The table you’ve made is truly beautiful. Watching you work through the creation from start to finish is very informative. You have a good eye for balancing interest. Thank you for sharing your process. And, you are not boring. Thanks for not blasting music while you talk.
I'm glad you like it
What an outstanding job you have done again. I subscribed before you were doing the voice overs and did so because of the work you were turning out. I really appreciate your sense of humor which was included in your non voice over videos and love the format you are doing your videos in now with the voice over. I am so keen to replicate one of your designs. the work you produce with the tools you have at hand is amazing and I can't wait to see what you produce with improved tooling. Thank you for the link to the Woodworkers Guild of America. I have taken the offer and have subscribe for at least the first year. Thank you for sharing with us, it is much appreciated. Cheers for now from Bruce in Oz.
Thanks for your comment, Bruce. Let me know how it goes if you ever try one of my projects!
Possibly the most aestheticially pleasing table I've ever seen. Perfect
Many thanks
I LOVE THIS WOOD ❤! You did a wonderful JOB on the solid construction. Your videos are easy to follow and Thank you for the offer on the Woodworkers Guild of America Premier
membership. It will help us older (newbie) wood workers alot. I would Love to know if you every want to sell your table. HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉
Be safe and take care.
Many thanks!
I almost clicked away when I realized you were planning to use pieces rather than a single piece. It sounded like an awful idea, but I love the look of spalted wood and I’m so glad I kept watching. The table is beautiful, and the multiple patterned pieces made it interesting as well. Well done!😊
I'm glad you stayed
A work of art 😍 It reminds me of Water Lilly Pads floating on a pond...
😊
It is absolutely gorgeous. I love the wood, and the way you pieced it all together. I wasn’t a subscriber before today, so the reason I subscribed is _very_ fresh in my head. Here it is: I miss my dad. 😂 I was always his extra pair of hands on projects growing up. Now that I’m in a place where I’m ready to take on my own home projects, I miss him even more. He was a genius who could build anything out of anything, but he was also extremely OCD (as am I). He would explain _everything_ he was doing and why, but he had a very hard time actually letting me do the work. I thought we’d have more time, but we didn’t. Anyway, your humor and less conventional style remind me of him, and that makes projects feel a little less intimidating.
Lovely comment. Thank you so much for sharing it!
I love the way this turned out. It's beautiful. As to how I subscribed, RUclips recommended one of your videos. I came for your craftsmanship and stayed for that and your humor. 😊
I'm glad you stayed
I think this is one of the most beautiful hand made pieces of furniture I have ever seen. To witness the work that went into this, especially the top, like cutting your own puzzle with a chain saw and every piece fit. The wood itself is like jewelry. I wish it was for me. 😊 Well done sir.
I'm glad you like it!
Since you asked and I know how comments help your channel... I am an amateur wood worker in the US. I stumbled onto your channel one day and absolutely love everything you've done. Some of the wood you work with is the prettiest wood I've ever seen, like this project. It's absolutely awesome. Keep up the great work, oh and keep talking it makes a better video.
Thank you very much for your support. I will keep working on it!
@@marmotaworksbasically the same for myself. Also, if your tongue and throat are irritated like that, it wouldn’t hurt to have an epi pen around in a first aid kit
@liquidrockaquatics3900 that's a good idea
I like your practical solution's to solve the unexpected issues that pop up in woodworking 😀
I've been a woodworker for 65 years ✝️🇺🇸🙂
I'm glad you like it
Hey Marmota, I subscribed the moment after I saw your plum table and birch table videos over one year ago. Since then, I got ahold of a black cherry tree that was dead on some land and turned it into a table similar to the ones you made. Not being a woodworker but always being crafty I somehow managed to finish a three-piece set of living room furnishings (coffee and two end tables). I'm sure you've run into this as you even described in this video. Background, the wood was very porous, mainly because most of it had water damage and the relocation of some carpenter ants. That said it did create some nice contrast like spalted wood does, except, I called it thirsty wood. I forgot to seal the wood with clear epoxy, and so the wood drank nearly three gallons between the three tables. Add that to the long nights of fearing I wasted all this time and money on a table that won't turn out, the structural integrity will not be enough, the tables warping, what if its not flat, how do I fix this, will people like the table. The entire process was like walking through the dark hoping not to fall off a cliff while traversing a tightrope. Through it all, I said, trust the process. "Happy Mistakes" as Bob Ross says.
Just this past November, the table is sanded, finished, and covered in epoxy for extra strength (Still not sure if I like the epoxy cover coat), and now awaiting its final legs this January. Still not sure why I dove headfirst into woodworking, but I found it enjoyable. Your unique design makes it feel like it's something worth struggling for. I've got a long way to go in this journey, but your one video a year ago has made me want to do things I never thought I would do. Since I've completed the table, my family came over and they all gave me complements that blew the fear of failure away, or at least kept it subdued for the time being. Even those outside of my family said they loved it and even whether joking or not, said they would hire me to make a bar top for their home in the future.
Regardless of how I got to this point in my life, it wouldn't have become so if not for your inspiration that year ago. So, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You.
I sincerely tell you that reading your comment truly made my day. Knowing that people feel inspired to create things because of my videos is one of the best parts of this job. Right after the money RUclips pays, of course.
8:02 Video magic. :-) Nice to see a bit of style in the edit. The spalted wood is gorgeous.
I'm glad you like it!
The spalted wood is beautiful !!
Totally agree
I subscribed because the fungus pattern in the wood is beautiful and caught my eye. No other woodworking YT channel that I have viewed has used this type of wood.
I also like your dad jokes and that you were willing to get trapped in IKEA along with your wife. 😊 🇬🇧👑🇬🇧
😁
Stunning table, any links to the spalted wood supplier you could send me would be appreciated. PS I stole your design for the dumb bell barn beam table, it turned out beautiful. I used quarter sawn white oak to build a craftsman style base. Most interesting to me was the finish I applied to the base. I ebonyized it. Turning it black with an iron oxide, (steel wool in vinegar). It matched the black lines in the top from the colored epoxy. I get a lot of compliments on that table.
don't know of any supplier specialized in that wood. Some occasionally get a tree of that type and sell it quickly. The vinegar and steel wool trick is a good one; I've used it a few times.
Espectacular, todo una obra de arte!!!!
Muchas gracias!
Bonjour, je m’abonne pour votre humour certes, mais surtout pour votre merveilleux travail.
Le bois est carrément magnifique et pour moi rien à voir avec le modèle IKEA, la forme ok, mais avec ce merveilleux bois IKEA ne peut rien revendiquer à mon sens, j’adore tout bonnement.
Merci beaucoup!
I like the finished table. The pieces joined together with the black epoxy give it a kintsugi look to it. Subscribed! I'm currently making a desktop for my computer desk and decided to use a water based stain and topcoat for the first time.
Thanks for the sub!
This has to be one of the most stunning pieces I’ve seen. Love, love, LOVE the wood. Absolutely beautiful!❤
😄
I subscribed, used your link and love the table...Subscribed because I appreciate a great functional design, great craftsmanship and a gorgeous aesthetic. All I can say is WOW!
Thanks a lot!
Lovely rendition of the IKEA table. I personally think they can’t sue you, but it would be interesting to see if they sent you a letter of caution. Superb workmanship, well done.
Many thanks
So, you bet your wife she would like it, did she? I think it's an incredible work of art. Just amazing.
She loves it
Oh wouah trop trop belle table, magnifique travail!👍🏻❤️
Bonne année à vous et réussite certaine de vos projets.
Happy new year!
This table is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS 🎉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Many thanks
I’m 78 and my table saw, lathe, and jointer plus all the hand tools belonged to my Dad are in my shop and I can’t bring myself to replace them. They work great and my Daughter is on me all the time to upgrade but they do the job and do it well. She built a Teardrop trailer that draws a crowd at all the shows she enters. My dad would say a true craftsman never labels his tools.
I’d like to see those tools.
Why would you click bait the title? You could have simply shown your artwork and craftsmanship.
If I don't use an attention-grabbing title, I wouldn't be able to showcase my craftsmanship and artwork to so many people.
@@marmotaworks you didn't get sued by Ikea...it's not " attention grabbing " it's an outright lie.
@@noneck3099he said, they had no reason to sue me. Which is correct. Did you assume they had sued? Hm. That’s on you.
The title told me that there would be something IKEA-like in this video. I came for the click-bait. Stayed for the voice (to fall asleep to)
I like watching what you do. This is my 2nd video of yours and I preferred the other where you did the voice over 😊
👍
Always use terms like "inspired by..." (not "copied") and add your own flare to the design (which the spelted wood definitely does)
👍

Gorgeous. As always. I love the puzzle piece look of your designs.

Just came across you and I subscribed because I was fascinated with your mosaic approach to crafting the top and the beauty of the wood. I enjoyed this video very much.
Many thanks
That is beautiful. The wood and your design is amazing. I would love it but know it’s way way way beyond my budget. Too bad I can’t run my checkbook like the government does. 🤣
I hope you'll be able to afford it someday!
Never seen or heard of this wood before and think it is beautiful. Would love any and all furniture made with it
👍
I subscribed because I like your creativity & that you speak in Metric. I'm a woman who has been woodworking since I was a child & I started school just over 50yrs ago - even back then we only learned The Metric System. I've since learned that an inch is 2.54cm & about "this big" & a foot is about 5mm longer than a standard 30cm ruler, (thanks to repeated exposure to info, like you displayed on screen). I learned, America can too & other RUclipsrs need to stop spoon-feeding them in 'Murican' & treating them as if they were morons. Btw, there are MANY "girly craft channels" as I call them, who make a whole channel out of duplicating cheap versions of mainstream retail decor. Look up e.g. Pottery Barn or Magnolia or 'high end' then 'dupe' or try 'the look for less'. Nobody gets sued by the big stores if they're not selling anything, it's all free advertising to them.
Thank you very much! I include both units because it only takes me a couple of minutes to do it, and it's helpful for so many people who watch the video.
As an “American” … I appreciate you doing so!!! I loved your rant about it all … I laughed so hard it hurt! Laughings not supposed to hurt! 😊
Nice work. You're doing what I want to try. Like you I usually get myself into trouble and have to claw my way out.
So is woodworking
"Ikea design...IKEA DESIGN???!!??" - Eero Saarinen
Yes, I know. But Ikea now holds the rights.
Stunning 🤩

You might try donating or selling your old tools to someone in need.
I think I'll donate it
As a Handyman, I use RUclips to expose myself to broad, eclectic types of pages, such as Art Restoration, Construction/building, wood turning, and furniture restoration. A lot of the principles are interchangeable. It all helps me think outside of the box when working for my handyman customers. They are all entertaining and help me decompress. instead of normal TV.
Anything is better than normal TV
The table ended up looking really slick - definitely a better version of the Ikea design. Btw, using the title as it is, isn't it a bit like poking the bear...? 😜
Thank you! The title can be interpreted in several ways 😉
Clickbait can be a useful tool😜
Why I subscribed? I like watching those kind of videos, it relaxes me. Also your sense of humor is appealing to me. 😊
I'm glad you like it!
Gorgeous table!
@@gwynnfarrell1856 Many thanks
I just subscribed to your channel. In part because of the valuable knowledge you share, but because of your mentioning your wicked sense of humor. I am not a wood worker, but I do small projects with resin. It is interesting to find out how the resin reacts to different things. In this instance, extremely porous wood. I consider all knowledge to be a very important commodity and truly appreciate your sharing this. Thank you.
Many thanks for your comment and for the sub!
Looks a lot better than anything ikea has! ❤
Thanks!!
I subbed because I like to see a person excel in their passion.
Many thanks!
I honestly thought the narration was AI at first. The humor isn't much to right home about in my honest opinion. I just subbed just now because I think you do great work and I love watching your videos while I listen to music. Thank you for your insight and content!
Thanks! That's enough for me
Love the table!
😊
Good job. Thanks. I have found Spar Varnish for those things that might get wet a good fit. Soft wood not do sure but hard wood and 3-7 coats will last a long time. I use it for walking sticks.
First, I just wanna say I’m not a lawyer so take it for what it’s worth but I am an artist and a painter and I am fairly familiar with copyright law. I would say that your work falls under what is considered derivative meaning it’s derived from someone else’s copyrighted materials, however it is your own work. It’s also very clearly not the same table. There’s this made of plastic yours is made of wood there is does not utilize any metal internal structures. Yours does your table while it may appear superficially to be similar It is not is a completely different table made in a completely different way with a completely different construction technique. I think you’re pretty safe. However, in the art world, we often sign our paintings that are derivative in the following manner” insert name here after insert original artist name here”
Thanks! It seems like you know what you're talking about.
Very beautiful. I am a portrait artist. Oil is my medium. I love to watch woodworking artists. It looks like magic.
Thank you!
That Ikea table is a copy of an Eero Saarinen tulip table. Has been copied by many companies of the last 70 years. there is no way I would ask the IKEA people if you can make a copy of the table they made a copy of. Also generally speaking if you are making 1 of something like a table, you have not breached copyright
Exactly!!👍
👍
I think the spalded (sp?) wood is utterly fabulous, and that you've made a beautiful, one of a kind table! I'm not a woodworker, but your video looks caught my eye, so I watched it... glad I did!
I'm glad you like it!
Beautiful table man. However, you don’t need clickbait titles. Give yourself more credit. Your talent is all you need to get people to watch. Clickbait is only needed when you aren’t talented enough to get views/subscribers any other way. That ain’t you brother. Keep up the amazing work and everything else will work itself out.
Thank you for the advice. Don’t worry, I’m not someone who needs to give myself more credit than I already do.
Please put your voiceover on both right and left channels. Better for headphones. Thx!
Yes, it was a mistake...
That's beautiful did your wife like it?
Yes, it was hard for her to admit it, but she loves it.
@ yay!!!
Well, RUclips recommended and was intrigued by the title - I clicked and became invested in that email you sent and awaiting the response. I also appreciate how you have adapted your skills to the tools you have. it's one thing to have all the tools and making content that is out of reach for the average hobbiest, but another to do it with fewer tools. In the UK, only older properties have the space to have such a workshop in your garden. We have a garage which we really use as storage/shed and a little bit sectioned off for my husband's small collection of tools. I love watching this content just for relaxation purposes and dreaming of being able to do/afford to do this stuff. But reality is, we both work full time - my husband works shift work some very other week, we aren't able to spend our evenings together. So, these are all reasons I love to watch those who do have the space, tools and time to make lovely individual pieces. I loved how this table turned out, how you adapted to finishing it, overcame issues to make the design work for you - besides, I'd never have looked at it and said it was an IKEA knock-off! This is quite literally a unique looking piece of furniture (well, that is, I've *personally* never seen anything like it).
This is a piece of furniture that will last the test of time and you may even pass down to the next generation! Well done. I've subscribed?
If after saying all that you still haven't done it, you must be the most demanding person in the world.
Table is beautiful but i could have been without the false narrative about IKEA. I get it you want views, but still a bit cringy.
It's not false at all. I know someone who has had legal issues over something quite similar.
@@marmotaworksin other words, not you
WOW! ❤ It is beautiful! ❤❤❤
😊
Did your wife end up liking it? That was the whole reason you made it, right, to prove that she would like a table with that design?
She loves it
I think salted wood is amazing, and we often find it as we clean up our property. I like what you did here because most pieces are 8-12” in diameter and very limited in themselves. In fact yesterday we discovered a fir tree blow over and it was very dry and heavily salted, mostly we converted it to firewood but there will be another. The table is fabulous!
Thanks!!
It’s beautiful, and reminds me of stylized lily pads. Great job!
Thanks!
I subscribed! I love your sense of humor! You had me at being an expert at solving problems you don't have!!😂

You title which hints about a legal encounter and then having nothing materialize left me feeling you were being less than honest and I was a fool to expect a story involving Ikea's legal team. Lesson learned.
You've inferred a lot from the 7 words in the title. It could also be understood that they had no reason to sue me, and that's why they haven't done anything.
Love your projects and I enjoy your narration
Thanks!
Its called a "tulip table" and besides Saarinen, Herman Miller and Knoll others have made similar tables including cheap Chinese knockoffs. The design is decades old. Your materials and construction techniques are very unique. NO WAY IN HELL Ikea can claim the design or stop you from making one table. Laughable! Nice table, by the way.
Yes, although it may be hard to believe, I studied design and also know the history behind this table. I assumed that IKEA would have paid Knoll for the design, and since they are the ones currently selling it on a large scale, I figured that if I had to worry about anyone, it would be them.
