This company is close to our office and they made the local news for this plumb bob that they were commissioned to build.

Now that's cool. I would love to see that in person.
It is , and it is nicely done.
I wonder which poor slob got the job of centering the table precisely below the point tho....
Plumb bob trivia: If you place a plumb bob on each side of a 60 story building, from the top to the ground, the strings will not be parallel.
That is a heckuva unique piece. I wonder how high the ceiling will be it is suspended from? In the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, decades ago, there was a plumb bob suspended about 4 stories in an open stair well. The tile inlaid (point of the compass) it was hanging over, was several feet across. It constantly moved, in a somewhat figure 8 motion, the sign said it was the movement of the earth that made it swing. How big was the lathe that wooden one was turned on!
