Any Lazy Susans out there?

[Shay Vings]

Thinking of having go at making one: Questions:

1 Round or Square bearing assembly (ref Axy)
2 Minimum dia of bearing for a given dia of turntable to avoid tipping
3 If most of the surface in view will be covered by dishes, is it necessary to (wastefully) carve a whole table out of a solid blank or can you use a separate rim construction on a more ordinary base wood

and finally, are these things any practical use on the family table unless they are large (min 18 ins).
I don't see many on the craft stalls.

Doddle to make 36 times 5/8" balls. Just a bit of patience and a few beers :shock:

And here the real lazy way of making a lazy susan is to get the works from a supplier .
Anything to keep the conversation away from making Balls . :mrgreen:
