Turntable request by Steven

Post by Pup »

Steven asked for pictures of the turntable add on I have one of my trees on in a thread. Here it is.

The wood is formply the stuff they use on construction sites. It is 400x400x 20 mm the dowel rods are 15mm. The hinges are stainless steel and 200 mm long.

If you look at the pictures, you will see the way they are fixed so as to allow for angle changes with wedges.

I hope this helps all who need or want one.

Cheers Pup

Ps the original plans were in Bonsai Focus a few years ago by a french man. Cannot remember his name or what number.

When I first saw it I pondered, after I did I thought I should have sooner. It does make tilting to look so easy.

Cheers mate :D

It's certainly better than shoving a rock under the edge and hoping it doesn't fall over... (Sigh). Excellent idea, and clearly presented. Thanks for posting.
