My wife has a hard time reaching into the back of this cupboard that she keeps her spices and vitamins in so I decided that a couple of lazy susans for these two areas were long overdue.
The wood was from a pallet that I cut apart and the whole project was glued and screwed together.
They are 18” in diameter and the small shelf in the center is 9” in diameter.
Both were finished with three coats of General Finishes Poly/Acrylic Semi-Gloss topcoat.

Nice job John! How did you cut the large diameters? On a bandsaw?

Hi Randy. Sorry to say, I don’t own a bandsaw. I actually cut the diameters on the tablesaw. I put a runner on a piece of plywood, positioned the square work piece so that the diameter of the finished piece lined up with tablesaw blade and nailed through the center of the workpiece into the sled. I then proceeded to cut the corners on the work piece until I was left with something that was close to a circle. From that point I was able to slowly spin the workpiece until a perfect circle was completed.

I have an aunt that gets offended whenever I say “Lazy Susan”. I think it’s because she’s lazy…
Great job, they look fantastic!
