Hello,
If you have no idea what I am even trying to make that's probably because neither did I when the other half asked me to make one. She shown me pictures of them and decided she wants one like the link below. I can do the majority but I have never had to make anything move before or clamp to a desk before. I have tried googling for all sorts of things but I am not being very successful in my searches for how to clamp it or how to make it move. It goes around in a windmill motion so I was thinking maybe some ball bearings but as I have never worked with them before I wouldn't know where to begin but I presume its fairly simple? (well isnt everything once you know anyway!)
As for the clamping action to the table I was thinking something like an https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Co...alwork/sd2797/Heavy+Duty+Angle+Bracket/p95787 (L Bracket) and then something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sourcingma...031_1_15?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1544476746&sr=1-15 this for the tightening mechanism and maybehttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Veda-TYPE-...XBM5SH5A4E6&psc=1&refRID=ZAADA86P1XBM5SH5A4E6 these to screw them into? So then I thought maybe screw them into a block of wood? Or maybe a bit of rubber or something to prevent marks but as I have never made a clamping type device I dont really know what I am searching for to find the right sort of thing.

Any help would be appreciated.
