How to Build a Rotating Table

Materials and Tools:

1. Plywood or solid wood (for the table surface)

2. Lazy Susan bearing (360-degree rotating mechanism)

3. Wood screws

4. Drill

5. Measuring tape

6. Pencil

7. Sander or sandpaper

8. Wood stain or paint (optional)

9. Felt pads (optional, to protect your floor surface)

Step 1: Prepare the Table Surface

- Cut your plywood or solid wood to the desired size and shape for your table surface.

- Sand the edges and surfaces to make them smooth.

Step 2: Attach the Lazy Susan Bearing

- Position the Lazy Susan bearing in the center of the underside of the table surface. Make sure it's centered properly.

- Secure the bearing to the table surface using wood screws. Tighten the screws firmly to ensure stability.

Step 3: Add Felt Pads (Optional)

- If you want to protect your floor surface from scratches or dents, you can attach felt pads to the bottom of the rotating table. Stick them onto the corners or underside of the table surface to prevent direct contact with the floor.

Step 4: Stain or Paint (Optional)

- If you want to add a personal touch or match your decor, you can stain or paint the table surface. Be sure to use a sealant or protective finish to ensure durability and moisture resistance.

Step 5: Attach the Lazy Susan Bearing

- Position the Lazy Susan bearing in the center of the underside of the table surface. Make sure it's centered properly.

- Secure the bearing to the table surface using wood screws. Tighten the screws firmly to ensure stability.

Step 6: Enjoy Your Rotating Table

- Once everything is in place and securely fastened, you have your own rotating table ready to use. Enjoy the convenience of spinning it to access items or food placed on the table.

Remember, this is a general guide and the specific steps may vary based on the design and materials you choose. Be sure to measure and plan carefully before starting the project to ensure a successful build.
