You have to see this expanding table on You-tube.

[amerikat]

I sure would like to see the mechanism that makes it expand.

1. Ooooh...I want one!

But I would probably pinch my hand. I'm stupid like that. :hi:

[hippywife]

2. Someone else posted it

earlier today:

3. sorry, I didn't see the earlier post (nt)

[idgiehkt]

4. wow

what a labor of love. Thanks for posting the link. :)

5. It's an elegant piece of work.

But I wonder how easy it is to gum up the works.

[Bassic]

6. That is so cool.

It must really cost a fortune.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. And they're SO reasonably priced!

Between $49,700 and $69,600... :wow:

[amerikat]

8. you could charge people a buck just to watch it.

I'd pay to see the mechanism that makes it work.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. It is very clever...

I'd like to see one too...

[redwitch]

13. You'd have to have "open house" for a really long time.

Better make it $5. You could build your own once you have your shop set up. And of course I would need one too. :-)

[amerikat]

14. Did you see the price tag?

[Ediacara]

17. Ya seriously, I thought it would be maybe $3,000

but $70k! I could figure out to build one myself and have about 50 grand left over....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. I hope the furniture maker probably earns a decent salary...

...and it doesn't all go to some middleman.

[idgiehkt]

20. 70 grand?

Good grief. Wow. amazing. It is feat of engineering...I guess that's what you'd be paying for.

[Ediacara]

21. I wasn't trying to diminish the amazingness of the table

But good grief... I think they'd sell more and make more gross profits if their profit margin was a little lower.

[LynzM]

9. That is *amazing*

Damn. :wow:

[Squatch]

11. What table?

[amerikat]

12. Yeah, she is cute.

just saying.

[NV Whino]

15. Awesome!

Just a tad out of my price range though.

[VenusRising]

16. Coolest thing ever!!

I totally want one. It's probably so expensive I'll have to buy the dollhouse version.

[SeattleGirl]

18. That's totally cool!

I love it!

[amerikat]

22. kick for the late night crowd

[bridgit]

23. that's fully bad-ass, it's like some Templar codex key or other...

very cool B-)
