I don't need one, but I want one.

It is called a capstan table by DB Fletcher (http://www.dbfletcher.com/capstan-table/).

Here are the video links:

You can have a brand new Suburban with all the extras or this table. They are that expensive.

That is definitely one cool table. I'm just not sure it's $50,000 worth of cool.

I agree, pretty cool. The website says one usually runs in the tens of thousands of pounds. Expensive!

This is what wikipedia says:
A capstan is a vertical-axled rotating machine developed for use on sailing ships to apply force to ropes, cables, and hawsers. The principle is similar to that of the windlass, which has a horizontal axle.

Those tables pop up on various woodworking forums every so often. Excellent engineering! I'm just happy when my tables are FLAT!
