Anti-Gravity Skyhook Steampunk End Table

Since we are showing off our woodworking projects, I thought I would post some photos of my latest. This is my Anti-Gravity Skyhook Steampunk End Table.

End Table

The unique thing about this table is the fact that there is no solid connection between the top section and the bottom section. There are only the chains connecting the two sections.

Yes. That is what I said. The entire table simply hangs from chains.

To make it easier to see what I mean, I light-boxed it.

As you can see, the top section and the bottom section do not touch. The top section is hanging from chains.

Here is a profile view that will make it more clear.

There is no trickery with the chains, such as welding them solid. They are just regular chains. If I take the table apart, the chains go limp as chains are wont to do.

“That isn’t possible”.

Yes it is. You can see it with your own eyes.

“So, how does it work?”

My unique design inverts the gravitational relationship between the top section and the bottom section, allowing the top section to hang from the bottom section.

DG saying "Wha?"

Oh hush. You’re just envious because you weren’t able to defy gravity with your project.

“So, what is with that long, strange name?”

Well it is obviously Anti-Gravity since the top section is floating above the bottom section with no visible means of support. The only way I know how to do that is with a Skyhook. And the word “Steampunk” is just a really cool word so I used it. The chains do make it look kinda sorta steampunk, don’tcha think? Well, I guess it needs more copper and leather and rivets to be proper steampunk, but I’m going to leave it in the name anyway.
