  • I think the "invisible table" @ 5:26 is WAAAAAAY cooler than anything you could make out of physical matter. I liked it so much I built one myself, and I'm using it right now. It's extremely eco-friendly, and simple to make, as well as giving my abs a great workout. 

  • That guy has 750 pounds of body weight?

    Is he made of metal or stone?

  • Interesting video!

    I have been experimenting with cardboard construction techniques since 1970 and offer this suggestion to anyone who is interested: Use a handheld router with a small-diameter bit against a template to cut cardboard sheets. It is much easier, faster and more accurate than utility knives.

    I've made many furniture prototypes and even built geodesic domes with this method.

    Use a carbide bit. Cardboard dulls tools quickly.

  • epic video, i've been all over this for ages.

  • save the trees, big up for recycled furniture, thanks for a great video

  • @BeyondNeptune Hi. Thanks for the comment. The ribbed chair was ruined once the material was bent, so it wasn't worth reworking it. An interesting attempt, but ultimately requiring a complete re-do from the ground up. Regarding the ribbed chair, the fact that it uses a lot of material is a feature, not a bug. There is a lot of material going to waste, and this design uses a ton in a very structural and ridged way. It's also the best cat toy EVAR!!!! Thanks for the comments.
