A lazy Susan is most often made from wood.
The lazy Susan became popular in the 1950s, when it was considered the epitome of function and style. The small or large turntable was placed on a table or serving area to allow easy access to snack or condiments. Most lazy Susans are made of wood, but it is possible to craft a lazy Susan that will fit in easily in an industrial-looking, modern home. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Place the aluminum on your work surface so the unfinished side is facing up.
2. Place the lazy Susan upside down in the middle of the metal sheet. Draw a line around the perimeter of the lazy Susan, then draw another line 2 inches beyond the first.
3. Cut along the outside line. Cut a diagonal from each corner to the inside corner of the perimeter.
4. Cover the entire cut-out area with contact cement. Place the lazy Susan upside down on the sheet. Press it firmly.
5. Fold over the metal edge toward the middle of the turntable. Nail four to five nails along the edges to hold them in place. Repeat with all four sides.
6. Spray the bottom of the turntable with the silver paint to ensure that no wood will show. Allow it to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.
