That is so cool!

I could see me tripping the trigger while it still had dishes from supper, though!  I'm a simple woman by necessity  :p

Whence cometh the power to operate it? Nothing shows in the video.

A hand-cranked version wouldn't be much different from the mechanical electrical one.  It would just take a little longer.

We have no overseas agents, showrooms or installers, nor do we currently seek any.

I also saw no prices listed. These must fall under the category that "if you have to ask, you don't have enough money".

You know it's way expensive when they've put "CONTACT US"...... 

Awesome treat though.  Be really cool if they had one open up with the table set  :p

Really beautiful.  The website says the price runs into the tens of thousands of pounds, then you have to fly an installer out from the UK, most likely on your dime.  Gorgeous, though.

Making the table would be straightforward enough.  Getting it to move would be the difficult part. :wink:

Almost makes me want to take up woodworking just to see if I could do it.
