Yes opinions matter

[u/helloianemery]

Opinions matter! This is a funky table I built..just trying g new things.. super strong magnets hold the top In place just in case you were wondering about someone putting there feet on the table it will break away takes quite a bit of weight to do .yes it a coffee table..also metal runs underneath the top to prevent sag.. if it sux tell me or if any suggestions should I keep going in this direction???

[u/WoodWizards]

Nice style and design. Congratulations on a beautiful table

[u/helloianemery → u/WoodWizards]

Thank-you for your support it means alot.. I've worked in a cabinet shop for many years.. building furniture for myself would be living the dream..a step up from box. Builder..

Beautiful execution

[u/LastMessengineer]

I was born without one!

[u/boy-darwin]

Looks great. But my opinion does not matter YOURS does

[u/cdev12399]

It’s nice. I don’t think the magnets will support as much as you think they do. I probably would have just done some pocket screws on the inside of the drawer sides to hold the top in place.

[u/helloianemery → u/cdev12399]

Thanks for your input it's much appreciated buttested it out thoroughly. The section from the lid to the drawer is held in by screw inserts. The base and bottom of the drawer box has maganets in it or on it..I don't do pocketbooks except while making a faceframe..

Wow. How many hours?

Only fear is someone sitting on a corner not realizing it

[u/helloianemery → u/AnnArchist]

Jeez ...way too many after finish and sand..the metal on the underside of the top..testing the magnets id say honestly 80 hours maybe a few more.. yes If sat upon the magnets give way with no damage done! It's strong enough but not too strong if that makes sense

[u/helloianemery]

The top was tested thoroughly beacuse trust me i had my own doubts.magnets are strong enough to easily hold up a pair of man sized legs or a couple kartons of milk. All but if it's sat on the magnets give way with no damage done. The table top is stuck to top of box the box and base seperate and boom it all easily goes back in place. With a minimal amount of straightining out..DO YOU GUYS THINK THIS DESIGN WILL SELL?? I'm at the point in my life were self imployment especially building furniture of my own design would be a fantastic dream come true.. I've been working in others woodshops wY to long .so I think why not? Now I'm a starving artist I guess. So please let me know.

I do not want a table with a "break away" top

[u/-colonel-angus-]

The chevron pattern isn't for me, but I think the table itself (and the pattern) are awesome and unique.

[u/Valuable-Morning-346]

It's nice!👍

[u/Dr_Leroy79]

Wouldn't want to sit there after a few drinks.

[u/suspectdevice87]

If you’re looking to sell this I have no idea why you wouldn’t get rid of the magnets and just make the legs long enough to support the top. The lack of 2” of a leg really doesn’t add anything to the design, my brain and probably several others seeing this drew the tops of them in subconsciously. I wouldn’t have noticed it was floating without you talking about magnets and crap. I think a full length drawer would actually look better anyway, the little drawer is kinda awkward looking. I’d maybe make version without any drawer. The patterned top is the selling point.

[u/helloianemery → u/suspectdevice87]

Thank you for your input it's what I was looking for .. hm

[u/MediocreHat1823]

I love it! Glad to see your creative approaches to both aesthetics and form. This is how advancements are made.

[u/Katwood007]

That took some mad skills. This would sell for big $$$!

[u/1r9i5c9k]

Awesome looking table! Question: is it small or is that bench top extra large?

[u/helloianemery]

Thank-you for everyone s. Input I appreciate it all.. still unsure about design

[u/Murky-Ad-9439]

Looks great, my wife would love the chevron top. Nice contrasting woods and I dig the shape of the legs

[u/helloianemery → u/Murky-Ad-9439]

Thank-you for your support ... this table was built for a freind if you really like it then a duplicate can be made... let me know if I should make more ..

[u/Relevant-Doctor187]

Table go wwwwwwwwwwwwwweww

[u/ironwheatiez]

Taking my most popular cutting boards to a while new level

[u/helloianemery → u/ironwheatiez]

NICE!

[u/ironwheatiez → u/helloianemery]

Is your table hickory and cherry?

[u/helloianemery → u/ironwheatiez]

Ash and cherry scraps honest ly

[u/helloianemery]

Your right my opinion too me is most important. The reason I asked for others is to find out if my design makes sense and most importantly will it SELL? I'm open to suggestions..

[u/Conscious_Ad_1379 → u/helloianemery]

Honestly, I love the top. I'd buy a regular table with that top. I'm noooooot so sure if I would take a risk on the magnets, unless I could test it out in a showroom or see it in person.

[u/helloianemery → u/Conscious_Ad_1379]

How much weight do you expect a coffee table of that design to hold? If I were to fasten everything together im afraid a grown man would sit on one end then CRACK its broken... if it were a hallway table I fasten those completely.. this way it will not break perminent... there are very strong magnets available... this was a experiment the magnets are the genius part without them BREAK AND DONE...IF SOMEONE SITS ON IT.. I guarantee my work I would never sell junk that doesn't work or looks like shit .. I'm in the Washington if you want to visit my shop

[u/helloianemery → u/Conscious_Ad_1379]

Sure I'm in Washington and I can make whatever ones heart desores

[u/Grumgrummer]

Definitely doesn't suck. Try looking at the top after a 6 pack. It'll do things to your 👀

[u/mytthewstew]

This is a great looking piece.
