I decided to try making a Lazy Susan for our kitchen. It's a quick and fun project -- you just need to glue up some boards and cut them in circles. The trick(?) is to excavate a spot in one of the boards to hide the ball bearing mechanism that allows the board to spin. There's a bit more to it than that, which is detailed in the build article.
Dimensions: Top is 16" diameter, Bottom is 11" diameter. Thickness of each piece is 3/4".

Thank-you!

Thanks, Art! I'm in the middle of a 33" Lazy Build, but I still got a few ideas from your video!
Nice job. Short and simple, but nicely explained. I think I’ll try recessing my bearing next time I make one. I like that idea.
Great work, Art. Clear, clean video & good commentary...no wasted time.
Thank you this looks great in my workshop as I used it as a turntable for my organisers for my wrapping ribbons, paper tapes, beads & Mica Colour Pots
Great, thanks!
Thanks, I was looking for rotating table for my product photography and you have solved my problem thanks again
The exact same thing for me haha
Nice! Countersinking the bearing to hide it was clever and the hole trick was great too.
I really appreciate how you recessed the bearings.
Thank you, this is awesome. I think I am going to make several of them. One for my IT system repair where I can place a PC on and work without running around to look at different angles. Now that is a perfect "lazy me" there. One for the Dining table which would be nice on the holidays dinner with families. Thank you again.
Now a PC turntable is a great idea... Can easily cut an anti-static mat to fit the top!
A nice lazy Susan, well made and finished,and the video was well made also,with very clear dialogue, definitely gets my thumbs up + 5 ☆s
Nice project Art! Might attempt one for our home. Thank you for sharing your video. Great as always!
Love the countersink. Thanks so much for that cool tip.
Very nicely done, awesome tutorial like video. I really like the way you recessed the bearing into the bottom piece. And the of the video I was laughing so much.
Beginning of the video, "What's the two holes for?". End of video, "Brilliant!" and "Duh!". The access hole never dawned on me. Sometimes it is the simple things that get me. Nice project. My wife has had this on the list for a while. Now that I 'know' how to do it, it will be easy.
Thanks... after filming I'm watching the video and just not sure that I really explained it well, so I'm glad to read this!
Great video, very detailed and simplistic. Well done... personally refuse all of the “shame and blame” within society. It is all historical no apologies are needed for anything.
Nice job. Really like the cut out on the back of the base.cheers
Nice one, Art! A revolving serving tray is always a handy thing to have. You could even use it in the shop for different screws on the assembly table -- even Robertson screws... ;) Have a great weekend!
i prefer star screwdriver , but how aboot those flathead screws and slotted screwdrivers . lol
STandard
Neat as, well done, love it. Simple works !!!
Small one is perfect for my cooking oils - thank you!!!!
Thank for for this! I’ve been halfway towards a lazy Susan for over a year and you’ve inspired and educated me so tomorrow I’ll finish it. Guess I’m trading a lazy Ian for a lazy Susan. ;)
thank you so much master, it's great for my sister to decorate cakes
Nice... I would have routed out a little bit on both circles to bring the wood close together as possible and still leave maximum amount of wood for the screws to go into.
This was very helpful thank you!
This is awesome! Very easy/ CLEAR steps! Hate how some "instructional" vids cut off for 2 secs & appear with more then half done....like ummm wait i missed something here?? Immediately had to subscribe & now to binge watch some of your other clips to see where else i could improve my DIY home!
Btw love your sense of humor! & do u have a video or guide on making your protractor type rulers for making pretty large accurate circles?
Why even call it lazy? It preforms its function, it works hard, it goes round and round without getting dizzy. I suggest we change the name to an industrious Susan! ; )
Nah.... "Sexy Susan" We all know sex sells ... Hmm, maybe I should change the video title!?
John Conklin and why susan🤔😜
@John Conklin The turntable was designed by "Lazy" Susan cuz she's LAZY enough to get up and take the food.😉
Hola, que tal. Muy bonito trabajo, gracias por el vídeo, es muy artístico y claro. Saludos desde El Paso Tx
Tu amigo, José Gutiérrez.
Bendiciones.
¡Y gracias también!
What a kind person to apologise cause of the name 😊❤️ Subscribed at the same second great tutorial.
Thanks so much! 😊
Haha, Johnny Cash at the end, nice!
Good video, liked your final comments.
Cool way to mount the device, will use this for my new pizza boards!!
Sounds great, thanks!
Great quick project. will have to make a couple for our Christmas fair.
For you information “Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan in the 18th century, though they were referred to as dumbwaiters at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at the table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table.
Brilliant!! Thank you!!
Love it thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing, now i will always check your channel.
Thanks for this video.
Feeling a bit triggered on your beam compass speech! Make a fancy beam compass, already! And manual focus!! Do it!!
:D
Neat how you routed it out to better hide the bearing, and of course the cherry looks wonderful.
I think I may need to get myself a 7-9" monitor for the camera so I can better see that the subject is properly in focus. I just sometimes trust the autofocus more.
(These are all silly excuses aren't they that really just convey my lazyness.... ugh. ;-)
And yeah... it was some nice cherry.
OFF TOPIC COMMENT COMING IN FAST --------------------------------------------------->
i still prefer wandel push sticks . :)
I've got both.
'
i did good idea use a turntable on the table and 55 inch flat color TV on the top...
very good smooth spin
This helped soooo much thank you!!
You are sooooo welcome, hah! 😁
Hello great video thank you for sharing👍
Hello, I have watched your view and learned a lot. Can I use jigsaw for making the circles?
Sure can, just go slow and be careful, and clean up afterwards with sanding.
Cool project!
I thought so! The real challenge was coming up with an interesting video thumbnail and description. I suspect people see "Lazy Susan" and yawn... But on the other hand, you had that plywood nightstand blow up on you, which I found really surprising as well. Just goes to show you never know how the audience will respond.
Well done. Wife requested one of these to replace the cheap old plastic ones she's been using for 30 yrs. Her maiden name is Mulder, by the way.
well hello and thank-you "cousin"... :-)
nice job but I seemed to have missed a step. How did you center the base with the top on final assembly? did you have alignment holes in the underside of the top?
Refer back to the video starting @2:00 -- my blanks were square, so I could connect the corners in an X, and then I positioned the bearing on that X to mark the mounting holes on BOTH pieces
amazing!
I do not think there is much ado with a name -- just a name.
I enjoy your videos.
Still nice clean look. Clear varnish & I'm done 😁
Thanks 👍
Lookin' good. Like the "Susan" clarification. :-) JimE
Very good
Looks siimple and nice.
Thanks for the video.
Kindky let me know the appropriate thickness for 18" inch turntable for both top and bottom disc and the diameter of the bottom disc.
On my project the Top is 16" diameter, Bottom is 11" diameter. Thickness of each piece is 3/4".
@@Wordsnwood
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I appreciate.
On your handcrafted by, do you use a branding iron, ink stamp, or?
Ken Hurst I use the laserjet toner transfer method
Buen proyecto
Gracias!
I’ve always called them Lazy Bob.
I noticed your hand crafted stickers, where did you have them made from?
where are there stickers in this video? I have ordered stickers from jukebox print in the past. Or were you referring to how I labelled the project? That's easier: ruclips.net/video/rOtF3Yjir-w/видео.html
What size would you use if you want to build a stage out of a lazy Susan ? Where it would be sturdy enough . If that makes sense.
You want a structural engineers perspective.
I spent an obscene amount of time trying to use one or two simple roller skate bearings to try to achieve this function
So simply explained. Thank you
When you attached the bottom to the top, did you just eyeball it for the center?
I explained in the video how I had drawn an X corner to corner before cutting it into a circle, and used that to position it.
Super 👽👍
What type of router do you use for digging out the circular section that the lazy Susan hardware sits in?
I don’t understand the difference between a fixed, plunge and hand router.
I'm using a Bosch Colt, which is a palm router -- which is just a smaller router.
It is a fixed base router.
A plunge router has mechanisms to raise and lower the bit WHILE you cut. With a fixed base router you need to adjust the depth of cut before you turn the router on.
Would you suggest a plunge router over a fixed base router?
I thought fixed base routers weren’t adjustable and were dependent on the length of the router bits that you have?
@@asherstein2770 If you have only one, try a kit with interchangeable bases. Then you have access to both.
It all depends what you want to put on it and how wide your table is.
ur awesome buddy
I might have missed it. How did you center the 2 pieces in both X- and Y- directions with only 2 access holes on the bottom piece? I can seen how it can be centered if there are 4 access holes. The reason I ask is the lazy susan I have only has 1 access hole built in. I can't see how I would center the 2 pieces. Perhaps, line up the Xs on the 2 pieces? I don't see how you would have done it when you had already sanded away the X you had marked on the wood in the beginning. Thanks!
Yep, you missed it. The screw holes were pre-drilled earlier in the process. When mounting it, you just need to re-find the already drilled holes.
@@Wordsnwood Yes. I went back and rewatched the video and in fact I do see you had drilled the 4 holes on the top piece. Thanks for your reply!
Quick question, should stain go on before shellac right? If shellac will seal the stain will have to go on first right?
I don't apply stain to cherry, as I prefer to let it age naturally. This article I found talks about using shellac first as a grain sealer - though I might use actual "wood conditioner" instead of shellac: www.familyhandyman.com/woodworking/staining-wood/how-to-stain-wood-evenly-without-getting-blotches-and-dark-spots/
Hope this is some help.
Hi, great video! Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what kind of screws did you use to secure the bearing?
Some really short ones --- don't remember exactly but probably 1/2" long pan head Robertson screws.
(Did you mean length or style? Here in Canada the Robertson - square drive - screws own the market. Down in the US it's more Philips or Torx)
Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) That’s all I need, thanks again!
I would expect Lowes , Home Depot ,and Ace Hardware to have a run on lazy Susan bearing plates after this.
Where can i get a bearing plate?
by following the links in the video description... goo.gl/G2UyMp
Susie home bake. She was so busy baking all the time. Someone created the first lazy-susan and asked if it would make her life any easier. She said yes, of course. She could be a little 'lazy' about picking the things she formerly had to dig in her cabinets for every day. Not sure if that is true or not. I just now made it up.
What is the thickness of the wood you used?
3/4" Cherry
What screw size did you use?
so long ago I don't remember... given that the platters are 3/4" thick and I recessed in, I'm guessing 3/8" or similar
Where can ya buy those ball bearing things
Links and details in the video description and accompanying website article: wordsnwood.com/2018/lazysusan/
Almost any hardware supply store will have something like this. Mine came from banggood, but Amazon and LeeValley have them also.
Very nice countersinking the bearings! 👍
BTW, which drill is that 7:20? Looks very compact and light weight.
It is a Ridgid 12v, and you are right, it is lovely and compact and light. you can browse them here, amzn.to/2aqt0u4 -- but Home Depot is the place to find them.
They appear to be very similar to the Milwaukee m12 compact drills, but I have no direct experience with those.
@@Wordsnwood Ah...Thx! Nice brushless 12v! Didn't know that anything less than 18v can deliver this much power.
Great tutorial! No need to apologise, though - apparently Thomas Jefferson’s daughter Susan was a bit lazy at the table so they invented this as a dumbwaiter for her. Nice little nod to Johnny Cash there at the end (a boy named sue) ;)
Can you build one for me....LOL. Very good
Shualack first then poly right
Growing up with a friend name Susan who was offended by those words Lazy Susan. I told her it's actually Sussy. Meaning 'Server'. It's actually called Lazy Sussy. It was invented in Europe like the 'Dumb Waiter'. Later in time, at my wedding, she did her part to toast to me and my husband. She told the story of me explaining to her about Lazy Susan. Then she concluded the story with, "She did everything she could to put me at ease. I just didn't have the heart to tell her I knew she was full of s**t" 😂 Thanks for the DIY! I'm making her a birthday present!!!! LOL!!!
I think you forgot to put in the other two screws connecting the ball bearing plate to the base. @ 7m 51s
Shhh! No one was supposed to catch that. (I put in two just to make sure everything fit and then took it apart again and put in all four, but skipped that in the video)
Nice work, I don't know why it's called this there are quite a few stories when looking it up but this one seems to blame it on marketing
“It is more than likely that ‘Lazy Susan’ was styled on previous
combinations in English that use ‘Susan’ (‘black-eyed Susan’ being the
most common). There are many such words in English that use names in
thus generic way - for example ‘Peeping Tom’, ‘Jim-Dandy’ and ‘Jolly
Roger’ are just a few. It is also possible that the combination of the
‘z’ sound in ‘lazy’ and the initial ‘s’ sound of ‘Susan’ appealed to the
manufacturer of the Lazy Susan, and in a brilliant Marketing move, the
‘Lazy Susan’ was born.”
Ha.I like the comment about lazy sues!!
Hi Art...i noticed on this video, you r using 12volt Ridgid drill, is it noisy??? , my 18 volt Ridgid is way louder than Ryobi-Makita-Milwaukee (Thee other big 3 brands in Home Depot).
I don't find it to be noisy at all. I originally bought 12v drills for my shop for their compact size -- in a hobbyist workshop I don't think there is any need for the long run time of a huge 18v battery. They do have a bit less power, so an 18v is still handy on occasion.
Cool video. What happens at 07:45? It's too fast to catch your commentary.
I'm just talking while I screw the bearing to the boards. I didn't think it was that critical, which is why I put that on fast-forward, but I probably should have muted the audio more. Sorry! Let the video do the explaining there!
(I also have a build article linked in the description: www.wordsnwood.com/2018/lazysusan/ where you can go and read details.)
WHERE DID YOU GET THE BEARING RING ?????
Links are in the video description but if you just google "Lazy susan bearing" you will find many options on Lee Valley tools, or Amazon or elsewhere.
Is it possible to make the lazy Susan automated?
motorized? probably, but I'm not sure that's a good idea. in any case, I've never tried.
I need this one how can i get
First you buy a board... 😄
Which is more offensive, lazy susan or dumbwaiter?
Lazy Dumb Art ? :-O
'
i did put 4 rotating turntable bearings
1- on the table with LED color TV
1- videocamera mount while the RC car-truck spin
1- small deadmaus dance with plastic balls without grease
'
1- plastic balls on the plastic rotating bearing without grease for RC trailer
Haha my wifes name is Susan and when someone talks about a lazy Susan I tell them I already have a Lazy Susan.
Some would call you a brave man... ;-)
Why, oh why did you speed up the end assembly? It was a great video until that final part! I needed that soooo bad.
Sorry! The accompanying article might have what you want?
www.wordsnwood.com/2018/lazysusan/
i have a hard time getting past 4-5 coats of wipe on poly , too much time , so i cut that wipe on poly with mineral spirits 50/50 . then it dries in 1 hour vs 4-6 hours. last coat i always put on full strength . then finish with steel wool and mineral oil mixed with beeswax mix then i buff that shit , turns out real nice , i like this project i was thinking about making one a few months back saw one on IG/// is that maple or cherry . looks like you milled it yourself? , but you answered my question at the end of the vid
I use WB poly. Dries pretty fast.
I did not mill it myself... No lumberyard here!
Good job but drilling two holes is not needed. I would have used your router table with stops instead of doing free hand.
Since it's too small can you mail it to me because I need a 12in one:)
My question is how many inches of "reveal" do I need to hide the base? In other words how much smaller diameter should the base be than the top and still be stable? Also what size bearing in relation to the base? How deep a recess works for you? Thanks! These questions are really hard to find so far. Great video otherwise.
There was no magic formula for reveal, just what seemed to work. The restriction may end up being the bearing. It's been a few years, but I recal that finding different sizes of bearings was a challenge. And again, the depth of the recess depends on the thickness of the top. half of a 3/4" thick top is about the most I'd excavate.
Sounds to me like you should just dive in and experiment!
I will try to make one and post it on my channel, hope you watch it. Ty.
hey Art , anyone tell you that you sound just like Steve Ramsey
Steve Ramsey tells me that all the time... ;-)
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Abs size not wood but materials
Por favor traduscan en castellano
Everyone wants one 2 inches bigger than his friends'.
Lazy Susan name: Is a revolving table that was first used in 13th century China, the same idea was taken by Thomas Edison (some others say Jefferson) that have a daughter that complained about being served last, leaving her craving more...so I guess that the servant place the plate and turn the table to her...Have to say that in the 18th century, England; the name means dumb waitress...what ever!
Another way to attach your bearing.
ruclips.net/video/0pihoy0s3Bs/видео.html
That's the way we attach ours.
Nice build though and a good alternative.
Like in many things, there's more than one way to do it! :-)
@@Wordsnwood Totally agree. Altogether grasping the concept.
Paul Timberman brought me here.
Why?
