Expand the capabilites
of the finishing center
with this handy
turntable.
The problem with any finishing project is
getting to all sides easily without having to
handle the project. The solution is a simple
lazy Susan turntable, like the one used in
the finishing center (photo above).
The trick to installing a lazy Susan (photo
below) is a little advance work. And that’s
just a matter of drilling a small access hole,
as shown in the drawings at right.
To do this, center the lazy Susan on the
turntable base, mark where the hole needs
to be, and drill the hole (top drawing). Then
screw the lazy Susan in place.
Now, flip this assembly over and set it
in place on the top so it’s centered. Finally,
attach the lazy Susan to the top with screws
using the access hole.
