I could buy one, but I want to make one to better understand how it works because I just can’t wrap my head around written or verbal explanations.
minus-squareblackstampede@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 days agoRubber band in the middle is trying to contract, pulling the top of the table up, and the chains keep it level?
minus-squareMBech@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-210 days agoNot completely right. The middle can just be a piece of chain as well, but it needs to be under tension. Steve Mould explains it very well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0onncd0_0-o
