Saw this today. It's awesome, huh!

[Zacs-Master]

Amazing piece of craftsmanship and it looks like it's on a boat!

[Baby_Sham]

It's brilliant.

Should have took it to Dragons Den. Theo would have bitten their arm off :D

[Zacs-Master]

Probably. Ha ha.

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

[Baby_Sham]

Nah, you don't.
I just logged out and can still see it :-)

Chill I was able to watch it and I've never been anywhere near the dreaded Facebook

I can't view the Facebook video. (I just get a login page).

[ChillDoubt]

Viewed it via Mamya's link. A superb piece of craftsmanship and engineering.

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

[Buenchico]

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

I'll make do with the drop leaf table I got from Oxfam, then.

[sandyRoe]

but if I win a sizeable share of the lottery tonight I'll get one and leave it out in the garden as a bird feeder.

[ChillDoubt]

Wouldn't mind this chair though......

And it has a built in umbrella holder ☺

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