Thanks for the link to the goo Low_48, yeah, very expensive, I think I would be looking more toward automotive body filler (bondo I think Americans call it?)or something of that nature if I was doing a smallish job at home.
Javadog, it would be a female mold for a large boat to be made from glass or grp, not sure exactly what type or brand of boat, certainly interesting though.
Benny, Benny, Benny...video of my machine??? You're such a comical character, my machine is far bigger and better than that one

Calico,
I could see a crownwheel and pinion driving the head on that machine. The spindle may well have been hydrolic but to do something of the same principal as that at a hobby level would be reasonably expensive. If you're using a bridgeport machine I think I have seen bolt on 5 axis heads for them, can't recall where, but you should find it if you google 5 axis head.
Have a look at this site http://www.rainnea.com/cnc.htm it's the best resource on the web for 5 axis hobby machines. There is a post on cnczone with a cad drawing of a 5 axis head which is similar to the one on the video.
Cheers

Calico,
I wasn't able to find the actual thread that I was thinking of but here are a few links which will give you some ideas of the different ways of designing a five axis head. The basic concept is really quiet simple, it will just cost time and money if you want to build one, and the more presicion you want, the more time and money it will cost.
