Now *that* is a folding table! Architectural designer Robert Van Embricqs created this clever piece called Rising Table, which is made from a single piece of wood: Link - via Tuvie

Neat piece of art, but a stupid piece of furniture. It has a big dip in the middle and lots of thin holes everywhere else. You have to lay another tabletop on top of this just so you can put stuff on it.

Yes, it's pretty cool, but not functional.
The funny thing about saying it's made from a single piece of wood is that you could say that about anything piece or pieces of furniture made from the same tree. After all, the "single piece of wood" did get sawn at some point - unless those are really flexible legs.

The table can be functional. While there is the big dip in the middle and the holes, a person could put a piece of plate glass on the top to solve the issue. You can still see the design of the table through the glass and have the functionality of a normal table.

It's a Reverence Shaver
1. Insert arm
2. Have a friend grasp the handles and turn
3. Hang your head while your (now former) friend teases you for agreeing to something so ridiculous.

This is an ancient jar opener, the opening is tapered so you press down to get a good grip, then use the handles to twist off the top. No need to bang it against the counter!

This is the yoke that garden gnomes use to hitch up their guinea pigs when plowing their gardens. This is a single yoke for smaller garden patches; double yokes also exist.

To continue the pirate thread - it's a pirate peg leg tightener used to securely fasten the prosthesis. When the pirate grunted "arrrgh" it was fastened tight enough.

That is Capt. Hooks peg-leg refinisher. Out on the sea, salt water does a number on wooden legs. Splinters abound and this handy device shaves just the right amount of wood off to put pep back in his step.

It's an early version of a handheld pencil sharpener.... before the Japanese applied their miniaturization technology to it!

Someone thought it would be cute to try circumcising a giraffe and this was the tool they produced. Needless to say, giraffes can trample you as well as bulls. Thus ended the tale of Short Willy Wanka's Traveling Snippet Shop & Herbal Remedies (mostly seen by traveling circuses).
