How Can a Table Float with Buckets?

[QUOTE="SteamKing, post: 4664291, member: 301881"] Yes, I've heard of a bosun's chair. But the chair doesn't work if it's not tied off or if someone isn't hoisting you up or down. If you think the buckets are holding the tabletop down, how are you able to push on a rope? All I see are four sheaves, each with a single line running thru it, with one end tied to the table top and the other end tied to a bucket handle. If there is no mechanical connection between the buckets and the table top (bolts, glue, suction cups, whatever), the table top must be attached to the wall, which connection is not visible due to the viewpoint of the camera. Unless you are claiming that gravity's hours have been cut back and it works only part time now. [/QUOTE]
