I saw that on their web site a few days ago. They are made by a British
company. there's a couple of different version of the table.

Excellent work, the wood work would have been challenging, the hardware brilliant.

Thanks for posting.

What has me stumped is how the individual pieces seem to have outside arcs that match both diameters. The Euclidean in me says that's impossible. Wish the videos were more clear, cuz the table still looks round at min and max diameters. I suspect that the pieces' outside arcs are sized for the max diameter, and that the surrounding ring that comes up and secures them as it reaches the min diameter is somewhat scalloped on the inside to handle this.

Best,

Michael

If I had one of those I'd never get anything done. I'd just spin it back and forth all day long! Fun!!!

I remember seeing something like that back in `78. Wait a minute, that table didn`t really do that (or did it?).
That surely isn`t something that you want the kids playing with.

That is really cool! Now, if I only had a yacht that needed a table such as that...

Don, this video shows a little bit of the hardware: Fletcher Capstan table
