This was given to me a present from my wife,designed by me, made by a friend who is a fitter and turner. I use it for everything, will hold 300kg with ease, the axle is of an old Ford. The table is 500mm diameter and 10mm thick. It has a screw for locking.
Its a dead simple design, and works a treat.
Maybe I should patent it?

Possibly the best turntable ever!!

Great design Paul!
I have the base of an office chair that I am currently converting into a turn table. Mine will have gas lift

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: Possibly the best turntable ever!!
Aah! Henry youve done again.
Very nice I have a question how much does it weigh? My turntables hold my weight and I can move them around to the benches.
So I can work on the trees it situation.
the cost is $9-00 .
I do like this though as when I need to work on some thing away from the bench I have to use milk crates to lower or lift them.
