The turntable consists of 2 pieces of ¾" 4 ply wooden sheet approx. 9" diameter and 8" diameter. Three steel legs screwed to the 8" disc. Each leg is bent at the top to support a steel mesh sheet.
The two discs are separated by a flat bearing (a bearing from an old Black & Decker strimmer) - the top disc being allowed to turn around a swivel pin (¾" bolt & washers), large washers work just as well if well greased.
