Hi guys

I have noticed these turn tables that people are using in japan and America . With the adjustable height, using a foot pump Anyone any idea were these come from? Are they available in oz?
I will post a pic soon.
I would love one of these and my sister in law could do with one too for building her wedding cakes.

I am pretty sure I remember Ryan talking about them - they are old barber chairs

Yes I was going say find an old barbers chair. I would think they would be heavy though.

I can see how that would be handy but that would also be very heavily and immovable! I reckon the best bet is an old office chair! Still height adjustable, has wheels so portable-and often free on gumtree!

Yes they are old barber chairs i have used a couple of different ones during my visit in Japan (5 days left of my 2 month visit ), some also have an electric version that lets you adjust the height.

Most professional bonsai nurseries in Japan use them but they also have a full time workshop set up so they don't need to move them around.

Hi all, I was just surfing ebay, and found a cheap hydraulic lift table in the Sydney area. it might be the ants pants for one of you, it could easily be converted to a bonsai turntable. check item number 201083342011. miyagiman.
