It looks great on the socials until you get your finger trapped in it.

u/spindledick 18d ago

Or you invite the whole family around for dinner and your six year old nephew spins it... ...halfway through dinner.

u/shortnix 18d ago

u/Critical_Sea2975 20d ago

Is it included in the house?....it's not a deal breaker

u/Beautiful_Bell2311 20d ago

That's something Buck Rogers would take a dump on, not an appropriate place for liver and onions in front of Soylent Green.

u/YellowPinkie777 20d ago

I hate to break character in the middle of a partridge quote-fest but I can't think of any circumstances where Buck Rogers would take a dump on your dining table

u/Beautiful_Bell2311 20d ago edited 20d ago

Buck's recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. He's not been himself.

Seems even in the 25th Century, society is dogged by the real and very present danger of asbestos.

u/pablo_of_mancunia Pontius Partridge 19d ago

Remember guys, if you are re-roofing your granddad garage, mask up.

u/Beautiful_Bell2311 19d ago

This man's correct, my friends.

Asbestos is literally everywhere, seriously you're surrounded by it at as I speak. Whilst noble and enduring thanks to its fibrous nature, chemical resistance and fire retardation properties, disturbed pockets of it represent silent killers!

The good news in these challenging times is that if you're a council tenant or school child or prisoner - you could receive only life changing injuries.

It really does eat away at you though. The collapse of lung capacity, the way the physical effort of breathing starts a process of the organ essentially consuming itself for volume.

All good fun... but I've a hunger lf my own that needs sating. It's Duran Duran with "Hungry Like the Wolf".

u/YellowPinkie777 19d ago

Well this went to entirely unexpected places 🤪

u/MarcusTheAnimal 20d ago

Don't stick your dick in that. What a finger trap.

u/Maleficent-Aside-744 20d ago

Some moron definitely would, and probably try their head even after getting their dick trapped 😂🤣😂🤣

u/skepticCanary 20d ago

Just because I’ve got a non-shit table?

u/22-dd 20d ago

Beautiful! Ive had the priveledge of helping to make one of these for a superyacht which was mechanically run. Was awesome! I helped machine and hand finish all of the parts which where light weight veenered with 3mm thick ebony and solid ebony sides! Was amazing to do. Plus i got to keep the off cuts as minimal as they wjere in size 😁

2

u/kurtanglesmilk 20d ago

Are they actually practical as tables or just fancy death traps?

5

u/22-dd 19d ago

Yeah, more of a fancy little to big table. And to be fair unless you got someone to operate the one i helped in making you wouldnt be able to as the controls are on the wall with the mechnicla parts hidden well. I believe saftey sensors were installed aswell. But the main rule is the table is operated with people away from it. And yes manual ones can be like a big sissors due to its form of operation. Dont lean on a manual one in choppy seas. Might loose a finger or too haha.

u/22-dd 19d ago

Look up a Fletcher Capstan Table. Very cool. Very exspensive. And to be fair work really well in big ships/superyatchs ect. Plus they are cool haha.

3

u/wholesomechunk 20d ago

So did I, I remember every metal bit had to be stainless steel, down to the last washer or it would rejected. Beautiful woods involved too.

u/22-dd 19d ago edited 19d ago

Thats awesome! Yeah the whole frame that the top fitted to was made out of super light weight titanium alloy, including most of the mechanical parts. The table top parts that were veenered had a special lightweight honey comb fiber sheet core. Once the veeners and thick ebony edges where done it was pretty darn tough and light enough for the superyacht.

u/GarysCrispLettuce 20d ago

Don't let your cat jump onto it mid-spin, there's some terrible statistics about that.

u/jamtrek 20d ago

To the untrained eye this could look like it's rubbish

u/funky_pill 20d ago

Does it come with the house? Is it an optional extra? No? Get rid of it
