I was just looking on ebay and came across motorized bench rollers made by Herbert Arnold.
I have never seen these before

Those are pretty damn sweet, but don't worry about me bidding. If I was still working my flooring biz I would have bid these tell i was blue in the face. Even though I have no idea what I would do with them. My day's of big baller supply hoarder are over. The only time I get to spend now is when I earn it on the torch!

Looks like they would be easy to make.

For the belt surgical tubing with a splice. We used a small piece of 8 mm rod for the splice.

I saw a pair of those in a Lewis Wilson demo once in Glass Line or The Flow. I think he was doing encasements and used them as an extra set of hands to keep something warm.
