That’s a good idea. I’m all for space saving, seeing that I have a small workshop myself.
If the wedge becomes a strain on the hardware bearings over time, you can drill a hole straight down through the two platforms and put a bolt there to stop it from rotating.

@Dennis: I’m no professional, but I learned that if I don’t spend the money on tools I will spend it elsewhere. So, why not spending on what I like the most. I rather buy tools that will last for ever than cars that will last only few years, at least here in mud and snow!

Thanks for looking guys.

Best,

Serge

@cranesgonewild: You came up with a third good option. I sometime sandwich a piece of plywood between the two layers of a lazy susan and clamp it with a large spring clamp. If you take a close look at the first picture you will see this clamp on the shelf above. As someone said, it won’t go anywhere!

Serge, this is as always clever thought out.
I also suffer from space need, so I know how it can be a release.
What a impressive collection of sharpening machines.

Couldn’t you drill vertical holes in the lazy susan and drop in a pin to stop rotation?

@wb8nbs: Yes, but they would wobble for sure, what is not great for precise sharpening. Either the spring clamp and the wedges lock them down and this is what I was aiming for. Thanks for you comment.

Best,
