In this episode we'll build a foldable table that turns into a painting using inexpensive
and easy to find materials.
To make this project truly special we'll customize it using Roland prints.
Hi folks, I'm Custom Cez and I welcome you to this new episode of Roland Master Maker,
the web series where I'll document a number of custom house projects hoping to inspire
you to do some amazing things in your own home.
In the process I'll show you some of the incredible machine that Roland has to offer.
As I mentioned in the beginning today I'm making a foldable table that turns into a
wall painting, ideal for those of you who need a table but are short on space.
If you'd like to build this project yourself you'll find downloadable blue prints and
graphics in our facebook page, just follow the link in the description and join the fun.
Since you are at it don't' forget to like the page to keep up to date with the episode
releases and to take part in the discussion.
The main elements in this build are the OSB wood boards, a very inexpensive type of wood,
some frame molding, a canvas and some easy to find tools.
I want to start by building the frame onto witch I'll install the canvas.
It's a simple rectangle.
To make the structure lighter I figured to cut out the center part.
I've already prepared the boards to size using techniques I've already showed extensively
in the previ ous episodes, so once I've measured and marked the cuts I can precede
with taking out the middle section of the board.
This frame is important because I need it to put the canvas at the right distance from
the board in order to hide the legs of the table.
After removing the main part of the center section is just a matter of removing the corners.
The board is 18 millimeters thick so I'll take my time and do a nice clean job.
For debarring the edges I like to use an abrasive sponge and in no time at all the frame is
ready to go.
Now I want to make the two notches that will be required for housing the legs once open.
These notches will serve the purpose of blocking the legs in position.
I've also prepared some strips of wood as wide as the frame molding.
Now I just have to cut to the right length as specified in the blue prints.
I've decided to go with collapsible legs so that I can make the table top as long as
I want.
Differently, ether the table would be too small or the legs too tall and consequently
not suitable for comfortable sitting.
Now I have all the pieces I need to put together the inside of the folding table.
I'll notice that one short side of the inside frame is cut at a 45 degrees angle, this is
because it needs to allow the molding to rotate with the legs as you can see here.
Once all the parts are properly aligned I can screw the frame to the back of the table.
Everything fits nicely so I would like to take care of a detail that will make everything
look much nicer in the end.
The edges of the boards are quite ugly to look at so I've decided to apply some pre-glued
PVC edgebanding to them.
It is quite easy to apply, the glue on one side of the strip melts using a pressing iron.
It grips and hardens in just a few minutes and now the excess can be removed.
First I break off the excess by bending it over a hard surface….
Then I clean the break using an abrasive sponge.
The result is very clean… and it needs to be repeated for all sides of all the boards.
All the parts are ready for mock up so I can assembly the table.
The legs will rotate using a hinge and they will fit in the notch I made on the table
top like this.
I'll use another hinge for bending the legs.
But all these hinges will take space, so I measure them and match their thickness with
a bunch of spacer that I can place between the frame and the table top so that in the
end the frame and the legs will be at the same hight.
Now I can screw in all the hinges, starting from the ones that allow the legs to bend
over...
And then the corner ones that allow them to rotate.
Here is the first test to see if everything is moving fine... and it does look like it
is.
Let's move on to the canvas and the molding.
The ladder I've ordered precut to size because the precision with witch professional can
cut the corners is hard to achieve at home.
But as you can see it still needs to cut at the bending point.
I also need to do a second cut at the bottom of the leg so to make it square while maintaining
the molding's corner look.
Once I've put together the frame as it should look in the end I mark the bending point onto
the molding and proceed with cutting it… very carefully!
The process is repeated for the bottom part of the leg.
This is the result, the molding moves with the leg and goes back in its place like if
it was one single piece.
To fix the leg in the two different positions I'm using a magnet placed right in the middle
of the short portion of the leg itself.
One of steel spacer is screwed in the corresponding position on the long leg to lock it in place
when it's bent…
And one is screwed onto the table top for the extended position.
This will make the locking and unlocking maneuvers fast and easy.
Here is our folding table slash painting and it's all ready to be printed on.
Before going to the Roland headquarters though I'd like to prepare the table top surface
for printing.
Painting the surface with a water based white lacquer will make the colors of the print
more accurate and vibrant.
And as a bonus, I get to check my painting skills…
Wonderful, I'm ready to go to the town of Aquaviva Picena and meet up with my friends
at the Roland headquarters where they'll help me give a unique touch to this build.

All right, let's go!
We are back at Roland to give an identity to the project of the table painting
we are going to use this Versa UV machine to print directly onto the fabric of the canvas
and create the painting side of this project.
so let's proceed and see how it goes
Here at Roland I find my friend Peppe always
ready to help me make my dreams come true.
He has prepared a piece of cloth onto which he'll print the contour of the print so
that we can position the canvas correctly.
The Roland VersaWorks Dual is the machine management software and in no time at all
we are ready to start the print job.
Pixel after pixel the Versa UV deposits the special toner onto the canvas and the UV lights
dry it in just a few seconds releasing into the air a very particular scent I now call
"Au de Roland"… pretty fancy right?
Ok, I might be a bit of a megalomaniac, but when am I gonna have another opportunity like
this one.
Plus I'm glad to keep a memento of such an important partnership.
What about you?
What would you print on your canvas?
Let us know by commenting the video or by posting on our facebook page where you'll
find the downloadable plans for this project.
Now it's time to print the table top.
I've decided to simulate the grain and the look of a more precious wood than the one
we are using and this is the right machine to do it.
The process is similat to the one we did for the canvas.
First we print the counture for a placement reference…
Then we place the board onto the printer bed.
The VersaUV printer cha actually print thickness and to do it it uses son special transparent
toner.
For this project we are printing with a thickness of about one millimeter and to do so the machine
needs to lay seven layers of ink.
It's hard to see it because it is transparent ink but you might be able to notice some lines
across the wood surface.
Once this process is done the printer begins to lay the actual print… and Peppe even
lets me use the controls… to reveal the masterpiece this machine has allowed us to
create.
The grain simulation is amazing at the touch, I guarantee you that it feels so real.
Now I can go back to my shop and finish the job.
I can wait to see the end result.
All the parts are ready for final assembly, the table top, the legs, the hinges, the molding
and the canvas.
The wood grain simulation come out amazing and I'm already thinking at all the incredible
thigs I can do with it, like a real life looking carbon fiber for example or even fabric.
But let's get to it, I immediately start by reattaching the legs to the table top.
Then it's time to place the canvas, but to do that I place back all the molting as
well to make sure the everything is in the right place.
To achieve the realistic look I'm going for everything must be place with extreme
accuracy.
When the painting is up I want it to look like a normal painting.
Once I'm sure it's all in the right place I start gluing the molding to the legs using
a hot glue gun.
This gun was very cheap and it's giving me exactly what I paid for.
Don't be cheap like me, get a decent one cause I've risked ruining the entire project
for just a few bucks.
On the other hand the glue stick where the best I could find and the grip is phenomenal.
One piece after another the frame molding finds its final destination around the painting…
hopefully I didn't jinks it…
I cross my fingers, concentrate a keep going!
The last piece needs to be glued only by the two extremities.
The center part, the one we cut at 45 degrees, needs to be free to allow enough space for
the molding to rotate with the legs.
Like this.
This is so increadibly cool, even after planning, designing, simulating with the 3d software
and revising everything many times, you can't be sure of the result until you actually build
it.
A bit of hot glue will secure the canvas to the table top.
Now I can istall the hinges that will secure the table to the wall.
I use a spare board and an anvil to help align the hinge.
I position it so it won't get in the way of our beloved logo.
The second hinge is installed as well.
Now I can install the steel spacer that, just like for legs, will stick to a magnet on the
wall to keep the painting up.
This project, along with all the projects I'll develop in this series, will be exposed
in the Imagination center in the Roland headquarters.
So to complete the video, I've set up a temporary wall to show you the final result.
A few screws will do for now.
One last detail, the magnet that will keep the painting up is screwed to the wall.
What a great journey this has been, I'm so happy with how it come out and I hope it
will inspire you to create something as unique for your own home.
Useless to say that this could have not been possible without Roland's amazing technologies
and his people's great know how, which make this a great company the best friend of all
creative people.
