LOML and I made this turntable back during the summer, during our vacation out of state of all times, for her mom's beach house.
I had cut and prepped the discs before we left, and tried to mark the layout for the lazy susan bearing, but had to trudge along any tools I thought I'd need as well as paints, stains, poly, brushes..... etc.... :no: We mostly worked on it at night after the kids went to sleep and LOML did the bulk of the coloration one overcast day while I took the kids to the nearby zoo. I put a couple more coats of topcoat on at another relatives house after we had to check out of our rental place and then gave it to her mom before we left. She was very pleased with it and it looks like I may now have to make two others for my SILs...... If I do make more I'll be looking for a better means to cut circles with my router as I wasn't completely happy with the results I got using the Milescraft circle jig that I got as a gift years ago and had never used until now. :thumbs_do
Anyway, this one is 28", which made it hard to photograph well, with a 24" bottom disc. I used one of the Woodcraft lazy susan bearings that someone recommended in another thread I posted and routed a groove for it to rest in so there was a smaller gap between the discs. Hand drawn with some wood burned designs, GF wb stains/poly, and acrylic paints.
Thanks for looking.
