The first photo is the very first Lazy Larry I ever made and I wasn’t going to make any.,. 248 later.. hey I do what I can,.
The story begins with a friend asking if I can make lazy susans and I answered I probably can but I don’t think I want to make them,..,. not set up for cutting circles.
The next morning.. watching NORM at 6 am ,, saw a jig for sanding circles.. well I jumped up and ran out and made it. Then went out and bought a bandsaw and a 12’’ disc sander…[paid for them in a month].
When I told my friend that I would give it a go a few others asked to be shown the finished product and as they say it’s all history from there..
1. Cypress
2. Mango
3. Hoop Pine with a double stripe.. [timber unknown]
4. Cypress
5. Indonesian Merbau with a English Mahogany stain
6. Hoop pine , double stripe and a routered flower in the centre,
I hope you liked the history lesson,
keep looking,
play safe

Wow, you’re a non-pro pro!! What is a jig For sanding circles? Aren’t you just sanding a flat surface?

Gidday Bob.. the edge of the circle needs sanding and like the circle cutting jig I have a sanding jig,
The circle is placed on the jig centered on the pin and turned against the disc sander,,
Ok?

Great idea for sanding the circle’s edge! I made a similar jig for cutting circles on the bandsaw years ago but had not thought about a sanding jig.

I am curious, how do you do the bottoms of the lazy susan? I was looking at mechanisms the other day and the 3 inch ones looked too small and like they would be unstable. I bought a bigger one but I think it is meant for in a kitchen cabinet because it is quite loud. The other solution would be use a smaller one but attach it to something else underneath to make it more stable?

OK, I was expecting something different, not sure what, didn’t think it would be for the edge the same as the cutting jig :-))

We use a sanding circle jig in the toy workshop. There are a great product and can made bandsawn items smooth.
Nice history lesson Larry.

Great idea. Maybe I’m a little dense. I looked at the blog and correct me if I’m wrong. The smaller disc is there to align the mechanism to a base, correct? Which the base and mechanism are then attached to the top finished piece? I’m so confused!
