My Cabinet Table

this is really cool—definitely a conversation piece. I can imagine the “double takes” you’d get when someone realized that the table looked different than from the last visit! :)

The design created in the top of the frames makes it look like the table top is attached securely. Nifty-doodle :)

Cool concept. What are the woods and overall dimensions?

pretty neat, Kaleo. I like the concept

the woods are tasmanian mrytle and tasmanian celery top pine. The Dimensions are about 16 inches wide (480mm) about 36 inches long (1.2 m) and about 12 inches high (340mm). Thanks for the comments everyone. I will be posting some nicer photos by next week, seeing how the project needs to be done by Thursday.

Brilliant! I love to design and function of this piece! Is it diffidult to reconfigure the set up? Thanks for sharing!

Actually it’s alot easier than I thought it would be. Because the top is soild and pretty heavy. BUt it slides along really nicely. So you can slide it and then slide the base into position. Thanks for all the nice comments all.

Nice job Kaleo. Maybe you can call it the Kaleo adjusting tv table. I don’t think you want to call it a coffee table, since that seems more old fashion. The design is new and different, so it needs a new name.

Beautiful design and craftsmanship as always Kaleo. I really admire your “outside the box” approach to your designs. Originality of design like this is in some respects even more difficult then the building itself. Would you agree? Thanks for sharing and keep ‘em coming.

I would agree most of the time. The design process takes weeks to think of and plan and figure out what it is you really want to do. Then building it is usally the easy part. In this case that wasn’t the case. I had to cut every joint by hand so it was a lengthy process. Plus when trying to build an original design these first builds teach you alot about the design itself. The first one almost always becomes a glorified prototype.
