Make a Miniature Pool Table with Just Paper! Pure Origami!
246[Low Intermediate] How to fold an origami Pool Table from a square of origami paper no cutting.
The idea to design a pool table was suggested to me by member Bruno during the September 2024 Western Hemisphere Members Livestream. The pool table I designed on the spot in just a few minutes at the end of the livestream didn't have legs nor pockets and so it didn't look much like a pool table. After the livestream I took up the challenge more seriously, and this is what I came up with. I know it would have been even more cool if it had actual pockets, but that would have made the model a lot more complex and it probably would have resulted in a table top with folds going through it.
This model isn't really an action model. However, you can probably figure out how to use it to play some far-fetched form of pool. For the stop-motion pool-break in the intro, I used plastic snaps which I bought here: https://kamsnaps.com/collections/kam-snaps-size-20-glossy
I did an image search on Google for Origami Pool Table and no origami models came up! Nothing came up when I searched on YouTube either. Hopefully that will change now that I published this tutorial. But isn't that weird. I mean, why do you think that is? Is there really zero interest to fold origami pool tables??? I'll find out in my video analytics! π
