The design has been around for a long time, Capstan Tables - you can get a nice modern remote control one too.

Ah, what?! I feel a bit gutted now. I thought it was a new thing :-(

However, the remote control kind of ruins it. Makes it a bit tack.

Brilliant design though!

Can't see it unless I join Farcebook. Looks like I'll have to give it a miss then! LOL

Would they cost much? I'd guess £3000 or thereabouts.

Add a '0' on the end, Sandy ;-)

Wonderful carpentry skills needed here. My old Woodwork Teacher in the 60's would have loved this ! I wonder how much it costs ?
