I need to build/buy something that will let me shoot shots revolving around a table. What would work for this?
 
Are you talking about placing something the size of a shoebox on a rotating platform to get a 360 degree view? Or are you talking about a circular track around a table of people talking?

There are "lazy-susan" rotating platforms for the former. From simple plastic things for organizing kitchen cabinets to sophisticated motorized and even computer-controlled turntables.

If you are talking large scale, they make curved sections of dolly track which can be combined into a complete circle. Or, if you have a nice floor surface, you could try using a tripod dolly and fix the wheels so that it travels in a circle of whatever diameter you wish.
 
yes, it would be a table with people sitting around it. I need something to revolve around the table. It doesn't have to go all the way around the table in one swoop. Just as long as it will go somewhat around it. I can make it look like it is. I'm on a budget so if its something I can build or buy for cheap.. even better..

It has been done as simply as taking a tripod dolly (three caster wheels) and applying gaffer's tape so that their "steering" is fixed in a circular path. Position the tripod so that one leg faces the center of the table, and apply tape to the two wheels on the outside of the circle. You don't need/want to constrain the wheel towards the center.
