Motorized Lazy Susan Tabletop
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I’m looking for an experienced furniture-maker to craft a one-piece tabletop with a motor-driven Lazy Susan set flush into the centre—think Korean BBQ hot-spot tables, but without the grill.
Scope
• Diameter: roughly 1.10 m (about 110 cm).
• Timber: the strongest hardwood you’re comfortable working with—oak, walnut or a comparable species that resists warping.
• Finish: deep, durable high-gloss.
What I’ll supply
• The motor unit (and the blank tabletop if that simplifies your process).
• Any aesthetic references you need.
Your tasks
1. Produce precise drawings for the centre cut-out, bearing ring and platter thickness so the top remains perfectly flush when assembled.
2. Source and install a smooth, load-bearing turntable mechanism that mates cleanly with my motor.
3. Mill, sand and seal the tabletop and platter, then apply a flawless glossy coat.
4. Mount the motor, route cabling discreetly and test run for wobble-free rotation.
Materials, hardware and finishing consumables—aside from the motor—should be included in your quote. I’m happy to review progress photos or a short video demo before final pickup or shipment.
If you’re confident with precision woodworking, bearings, and tidy cable management, I’d love to see examples of similar builds and discuss timelines.
