Big Table or Small Bed and New Love

I have started on my last project of the semester, a table.  I decided to make mine of mass proportions, despite all the creditable advice I received from RF.  Its basically a dining table that harnesses the power or a kinetic wave.  Its funny that I choose to make such an item because two other grads are/have also make similar wave like sculptures.  I am not saying that I am recreating anyone's objects or ideas, I am just saying they are similar and its interesting to note how others personalities can infiltrate your subconscious.  Like a group of females forced to be together for long periods of time our cycles eventually overlap and BANG similar ideas are produced. 

Some of the basic influences for this table are math and liquid.  Not that I am particular about integrating math into the work I just get influenced by the idea that you can think about something for so long that it eventually breaks down into numbers and can be recreated over and over again.  The table is going create a simple inculcated wave.  I want it to seem fluid have flawless control of its direction.  The frame is made of poplar and there is an inside frame/track made of plywood.  The cranking system is still a little uncertain but I want to incorporate some of these bicycle gears I have accumulated.  I am fairly certain about the inner-workings of the wave I just haven't decided on a crank.  Hand crank vs. floor peddles.  Here's a picture of the frame so far. 

In other non-art news.  I just got the FIAT (Berri) shifting through all the gears!!  I just needed to replace the kick down cable.  It's listed as a 90$ replacement part but I figured out a way to fix it using a 5$ gear cable for a bicycle.  It makes me feel so smart when I can actually fix stuff.
