The Fletcher Capstan Tables

Manufactured by DB Fletcher Furniture Design @ http://www.dbfletcher.com/caps... Capstan TablesThe expanding table shown here is the result of many years of development, but follows a line of history of more than one and a half centuries. This, the Fletcher Capstan Table, is the only table in the world with its unique properties.It is a circular table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, doubles its seating capacity, yet astonishingly remains truly circular.The expansion leaves are stored within the table and, in just four seconds, smoothly and quickly emerge upon rotation, rising and radially expanding outwards as the entire top is turned through 30˚. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities.All Capstan Tables are exclusively designed and built, and each one numbered. Careful consideration is always given to a table's location and components are made to the highest standards. Nautical tables are so constructed that they are able to resist a harsh marine environment to the point that they may be positioned permanently on an exposed deck.Read about the genesis and history of the Radially Expanding Table.Specifications * Tables can be of any style and of any suitable material and are exclusively designed for each commission * The area of the table expands by 73% allowing two sizes with seating capacities of six and twelve. * Typical diameter variation -- small size 1.9m (74.75"), large 2.5m (98.5") * The operating mechanism is beautifully engineered, simple and robust.PATENT GRANTED. DESIGN RIGHT.(via BoingBoing)

@jayfulf Wow... You really have no clue about the world do you? Were you raised wrong or something? To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about you, or what you think... I'd piss off and learn a little about life and how it works before you bother coming back to comment again... Jerk...

@mysteryloser24 You keep making uneducated assumptions about my age (ignorance). You tell me I don't know who you are so stfu and gtfo the internet yah stupid kid (arrogance). You then go to use the very words I used to describe you and use them to describe myself. I can't figure out whether that's a lack of competence or just an unconscious passive-aggressive defense mechanism you've developed over the years. Either way it's childish and it makes me laugh uncontrollably. Hahahahahahahahahah

@jayfulf Listen to yourself kid! This, is a video about a table. Ok, a damn table! And you want to talk about arrogance and ignorance? If I were you, I would redirect my attention to a dictionary, in which you will find the definitions of the words arrogant and ignorant. You will then see that I am neither. You, however are both. Your ignorance shows by not listening to me and pushing your nonsensical views... Your arrogance is your refusal to believe anything but those nonsensical views.
