Possible homemade yoke idea...

Was browsing on eBay for cheap used yokes and came across this little thing.... Now, if I have the general concept right of how this thing works right... Could you basically make something like this yourself with maybe a dowl, some pvc, etc. etc..... ? Looks like all it does is use a bar that slides in and out and turns, and there is a mouse with a roller ball attatched above it to mock the inputs..... thoughts anyone? or anyone else ever seen this?

And if you want shaped parts, glue some wood planks together (dried wood, good glue, heavily clamped) and put it in a vice and start shaping it with a grinder and discs of 36 grit! Then finish.
