Until you can find a table to buy, you can get by by making something like this.  This is after a design by Northland -

With that design, about the only thing I lose is the ability to have the stretching from all sides happen simultaneously so I have to use a 'step' method.

I cheese out on the mixer too.  I get welding rods and bend in a triangle shape on the bottom and use a cordless drill.  But, being a small fry, I'm only mixing pints.

a turnabout mixer is one of the most underrated things we have.  I love that thing for mixing 5 gallon buckets of random inks.
