Forces Exploded

This was the initial force diagram that I created while designing my Cantilever Table, in order to figure out how much weight I needed to counter balance the material weight of the table and the weght of the live loads.  My original design called for a pre-cast concrete block to serve as the counter weight (which I did cast, but didn't use) but after solving the forces, I realized that I would need to use 1/4" steel plates instead becuase they were heavier.  The overall table weighs about 250 lbs, which I have to agree is a little rediculous, but each piece is made to be bolt connected so that it can be taken apart in smaller assemblages.

These are a few of my renderings I completed for a house in Carmel, CA.  The house was designed by Daniel Piechota and John Davis from our office and is in a little bit of limbo at the moment becuase the client is considering selling the land with the finished plans or building the house and selling it fully furnished.  So if your in the market and can swing anywhere from 4.5 - 10$ million, then let me know.  All rights reserved on the images.
