Work & Time Saver

[The Modeling Hermit]

I built this turntable because I got tired of having to wait for something to dry on one side before I could work on the other.

Building it was a simple as going to the hardware store and getting a Lazy Susan mechanism and finding a couple of scrap pieces of lumber from the wood pile in the wood shop. Placement for the mechanism is marked on both pieces of wood and then attached to the under side of the top. Two holes are drilled on the top board for access to screw the mechanism to the bottom board. Using those holes, attach the mechanism to the bottom board. It's as simple as that. I didn't worry about any sanding and finishing that. I'm sure that over time it will get a finish, probably in many pretty colors.

That's cool! I may have to copy your idea...

Hey Douglas that is simple but effective amazing how far a little modeler ingenuity will go huh? I do the same thing here I also have a fairly complete woodworking shop in my basement also so it isn't nothing to like you said go to the lumber pile and whip up something to fit my needs at the moment. Kudos my friend!!

Cool idea. I could use one of those in my driveway. It's over 200 feet long and I have no place to turn a car around at the top of it, so people constantly drive off onto the lawn on either side trying to back out. Why can't people back up straight? LOL
