Some of these home cockpit setups that you see others posting cost $2,000 or $3,000...well, wait until you see mine!!
I would contend that it's much more authentic looking than most, and the engineering is peerless.
More astute observers will notice that I used authentic Costco Softsoap in the anchoring mechanism (this stuff doesn't come cheap!) and the fine wood handle is a hand crafted piece of artwork by...well, someone in Cuba. It doubles as a stirring apparatus approved for use with a multitude of hot as well as cold food stuffs.
Additionally, because of the danger of my girlfriend discovering this device, easy to remove packing tape, and releasable zip ties are employed extensively.
