I managed to sneak a peak finally at one of Mikes Hankin tables this afternoon too.
I was lucky enough to help a good mate (non pin person) buy an original Hankin off a member a while back (good bloke too)...
I would only allow my mate to get a well looked after (non hacked) original to ensure it was safe and would suit his needs.
Having checked Mike's tables out they look and feel outstanding. Nothing cheap and nasty and is well thought out and well built.
For all my other non-pin friends & families who always ask "can I get them a sit down cocktail machine like what used to be at the fish n chip shop", I can confidentially point them in the right direction.
Well done Mike and his crew abroad.
