I'm curious...has anyone built or are planning on building the transfer table according to my plans in CTT?  I would love to see photos of your project and if you are satified with the way it works.

Hello Model A,

I wrote the how-to article in the October 2009 issue of CTT magazine.   There are step by step photos in the article.  You can order back issues of CTT Magazine on their website, here is the link:

They used a dc drill motor and an HO transformer to run it, if memory serves.  I remember that one well, very cool project.  I think they also posted the same project over on OGR?  You might find pics there?
