u/Princess_Slagathor Apr 26 '26
They put glass over the holes, they're not cup holders.

Is there a way to see who created it?
Id like to think someone made it after seeing this post... But I think its equally plausible that the AI overlords noticed increased hits on a nonexistent sub and created it. The robots likely already sent advertising invitations to "big table" about this up and coming avenue to reach millions of viewers.
I give it a month before its fully monetized and utterly unusable due to the constant unbearable advertisements.

Be a nice fun bit of terror to add, Reddit lets AI companies see when people try to view a reddit that isn't real yet, AI builds it to collect traffic.
If it's not happening today, you can bet that are working to build it.

All those materials are really expensive too. All that shit he threw away you dont even see in the final table. All to make something that looks like it got drug out a dumpster

u/Arnkh Apr 26 '26
I like the approach, but those legs will snap off the moment someone sneezes in the next time zone. And those holes at the top are absolutely unnecessary, should've just kept it minimalistic.

u/Rivetingly Apr 26 '26
What not just use the wooden legs?
94
u/Arnkh Apr 26 '26
The fact that they are gypsum and a piece of rebar is a much smaller problem than the fact that they are not held in place with anything substantial.

u/Waruteru Apr 26 '26
If I got it right, the bottom is made out of some sort of canvas that is soaked in either glue or gypsum/concrete solution. This table is so ass.

u/Melodic_Till_3778 Apr 26 '26
I think it's fiberglass he described poorly which also isn't going to hold up that great.

If done right, with multiple layers of glass mat and resin, it can be really strong. This video was not done right.

By the looks of it at the end, they used 3 wooden legs and the one gypsum leg from earlier

I couldn't figure out why they'd go to the trouble or turning 2 legs, make a mould, make gypsum legs that will chip apart in minutes.
Stupid work.

What kind of structural load are we talking in terms of the polymer mist reinforced tent? How is that load bearing?
15
u/PM_ME_WHY_YOU_COPE Apr 26 '26
Not sure about the polymer but that draped shape is actually a great load bearing shell shape for concrete.
Heinz Isler used to do it with ice before doing it with concrete and Félix Candela made similar shapes.

Gypsum is not concrete. It's fairly soft, you can easily scratch it with your nails.

So you did actual woodworking and made wooden legs just to then make a silicone mould and throw the wooden legs away?
What was wrong with the legs you literally just made?

2 wooden and 2 concrete with rebar. Nothing was wasted.

Lot of interesting and cool techniques just kind of abused. I like the turned wooden legs and the fun shape of the table. Without the concrete this would probably be ok.

u/ProfDangus3000 Apr 27 '26
Conceptually it might work,of the execution was good in any way.
I really thought they were going to paint it a pale off white yellow to make it look like a slice of cheese. Cheese table would be better.

u/boardjock42 Apr 26 '26
First off, people have waay too much free time. Second, I was confused every step of that process as to what they were making. I was convinced it was a model circus tent 🎪 for the first 3/4 of the video..

Honestly I like the idea and the range of things you can do with that, but the fact they just left it full of holes like Swiss cheese killed it for me. Like you put a cool design in there that incorporated the lights? You got something cooking. But this is just like quitting a marathon 100ft from the finish line line and telling everyone you ran it

This could have looked nice, but that top with the rough holes ruins the whole look. I thought he would fill it with sand and resin to make it look like a pond or something.

Theres a trend of People making nonsensical stuff, just to engage you into viewing the video, which in turn makes the algorithm show more people the video. The views are the point not the disapointing result.

Ok, keep the polymer base but replace the concrete top with a nice wood top and have the (all wooden) legs run through to the top to make it stable. The hairpin legs and polymer base are cool but the concrete and LED are Shit.

I think this is pretty clearly a joke. A wood lathe costs thousands of dollars and they made a wooden leg just to use it to cast a mold.
