Recently I made lazy Susan using a bearing plate and a big round board for $10 both from Bunnings. I'd never made one before but I thought I would give it a go and use it for our outdoor table which is 1.5 m x 1.5 m, quite large and difficult to get to the food sometimes if there is a lot on the table and you want something on the other side. I had also planned a high tea so when it came to decorating it I thought I would adorn it to make it look like a big pretty china plate to suit my pretty bone china.
I had an idea to glue it all together rather than following the instructions and screw it on, mainly because I just wanted to do it myself - I didn't have access to the tools - and just do it quickly. I guess it's important to note that it's not the recommended way to assemble and if you need to return it for any reason you probably couldn't if you have already glued it on, but for me and what I wanted it was perfect and I thought I would share it with you.
To be honest I think the bearing plate didn't have to be as big considering it can apparently hold up to 225kgs😂 so that's a lot of food but anyway it was fine. I would like to make some more actually and just try different styles, it was fun to do, cheap and easy as well as being practical and useful.

What a fantastic project and result, @daniknight4! I love that you've mimicked a large serving plate, and your high tea looks just delightful.
Thanks for sharing your project; I can't wait to see what you contribute next.
