As our launch series continues, Facis makes a statement of its own, bringing a distinct, faceted energy to the collection. The Facis base acts like a prism under your tabletop, catching ambient light on its clean facets and casting deep shadows across its recessed planes. It moves away from standard curves to bring an entirely new silhouette to your builds. This chiseled form delivers a gallery-level aesthetic to premium indoor dining rooms, yet stands with the exact same structural confidence when placed out on a sunlit outdoor patio. The environment changes, but the heavy architectural presence remains unmistakable. Ready to bring this to your workshop? Facis is officially open for pre-order on our website. #flowylinedesign #flowyline #facis #tablebase #newlaunch #customfurniture #woodworking #craftsmanship #diningtable #patiodesign #interiordesign #metalart #diyfurniture #liveedgetable #makersgonnamake #furnituredesign

They say you don't really own a piece of Old Growth Redwood, you just take care of it for the next generation.  When we saw this incredible slab from @1of1woodworker, it was clear that the wood wasn't just being worked, it was being respected. The depth of the color, the intensity of the burl, and the master-level finish achieved with the UV Hard Wax Oil are simply breathtaking. There is a weight and a history in wood like this that demands a foundation meant to endure. We were honored to see the Tulipe base chosen to accompany such a legendary piece. With a silhouette inspired by nature and delicate, fluid curves, the Tulipe provides the necessary strength to support this heavy slab without ever competing with its organic beauty. Being able to witness projects like this is exactly what fuels our passion and keeps us inspired.

An adaptable foundation in your workshop lineup is a total game-changer. When a table base is designed with intentional, balanced proportions, it unlocks endless styling possibilities for your project. Instead of dictating the style of the room, the Eve base takes on the energy of whatever premium material you place above it. Whether it’s organic wood warmth, vibrant epoxy artistry, or sleek contemporary stone, Eve provides an adaptable anchor that complements your work without dominating it. Eve is now open for pre-order.

This is a difficult problem to prove. Endgame tablebase tell us that both h3, Kd8, and Kd6 win, but what is the principle? Maintain the opposition and then put the opponent's King in zuziwang? I can't explain it.

An interesting example is Chess where there was a long period (roughly two decades) where computers were much better at the middle game, but bad at analyzing openings, and bad at endgames that weren't amenable to a "memorize everything" tablebase strategy.

Inspired by the powerful silhouette of the elephant, the Elephas base brings a unique, artistic energy to any room. But great design isn't just about the first look, it’s about how it holds up over time.  To keep those clean, modern lines looking sharp, we use a durable powder coating that makes maintenance effortless. Whether it’s shop dust or a spilled drink, the mess wipes right off without any special chemicals 🧼 We’ve balanced industrial durability with high-end sculptural form. It’s built to look stunning and stay that way with zero fuss, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your craft. How much does ease of maintenance factor into your furniture designs?

Chess, Fate, Universe. This mind-bending position reveals that even in a stripped-down 7-piece endgame, perfect play can require 546 moves to force mate: longer than most entire human games! White to move. The Lomonosov tablebase (which exhaustively solved all 7-piece positions) uncovered such marathon forced wins, showing chess's hidden mathematical depths. An 8th piece is added here only for a trivial first capture, underscoring how "simple" endings still contain near-infinite strategic richness. Fully solving chess? We're nowhere close.

Makes you appreciate how difficult chess is. So few pieces, and these are the best players in the world, and a question mark after question mark says the ruthless tablebase.

What a thriller! It's a tablebase draw again... chess.com/events/2026-tepe-s…

It's currently a tablebase win for White!

Most builders started their journey making small things for friends and family. Coming full circle to build a centerpiece for your parents’ home is a special milestone. We love seeing the craftsmanship @dustandwood1 put into this live-edge round table. It’s a labor of love that carries a bit more weight, more intention, and a lot more heart. When you’re creating something this meaningful, every detail has to be right. You want the finish to be flawless, the wood to be perfect, and a base you can trust to hold those memories for a lifetime. Tag a maker who is currently working on a project for someone special. Let’s celebrate the heart behind the craft. Table base: 311 Lithe | 28" H | Load: 1,000 lbs | Finish: Powder-coated | Feet: Levelers #flowylinedesign #woodworking #woodworkingcommunity #customfurniture #handmadehome #makercommunity #woodworker #finewoodworking #diyprojects #liveedge #walnuttable #furnituredesign #craftsmanship #modernfurniture #tablebase

In custom furniture, scale is everything. If the base is too thin, it looks weak. If it's too bulky, it gets in the way. The Owra finds that elusive middle ground, offering a heavy-duty steel presence that feels surprisingly light and fluid once it’s in the room. The beauty of this design is in its sweeping, rhythmic curves. The steel doesn’t just sit there, it flows upward in a continuous, sculptural motion that changes perspective from every angle. It’s the kind of piece that makes a room feel intentional without demanding attention, just balanced and right. At 28.5” high, it hits that sweet spot for standard dining and workspace heights. More than just a support, this hand-crafted silhouette creates a seamless connection between the earthiness of the wood and the modern air beneath it. Pre-order is now open.

i think weird tablebase positions is a little unfair bc a lot of them can't be solved by engines either with typical compute constraints, but yes would love to see an actual game played (either engines or humans)

There are some tablebase endgames that are completely inscrutable (forced mate in 200 by shuffling knights around). I'll try to find an actual game example for you

In this position, I played Ra2 almost automatically, following the old adage that "rooks belong behind passed pawns." However, the resulting position is a tablebase draw. Can you do better and find the winning plan? The best move is easy (by elimination).

Chess legend Kasparov (who 13-year-old Magnus Carlsen famously held to a draw) declares who WILL win the Candidates tournament: “Whenever I watch Bluebaum’s games, I feel as though I am witnessing a 32-piece tablebase. It will be a Great [Bluebaum] Sweep.” 😳 [@reezyeztilt]

If someone asks how the game review can see so deep in the position, it's probably because the board had 7 or less pieces, so it could just be looked up in the tablebase
