Hello again guys,
I need a better way to do something. I'm installing a "Lazy Susan" mechanism on a bowl bottom. Right now I really have a half-butt way of doing it.
I thought you guys might have a better way. ie, jig, fixture or procedure.
Using the photo below. You can see the bowl bottom (that is upside down on the left), and the base (on the right)
I like using the middle area (where the lazy susan is installed) for the faceplate mountings.
Right now, what I do, is while each section is mounted, I use a compass and mark a line, while turning slowly. then I make a v-groove (GREEN LINE indicates a round V-groove cut) for the screws (Purple Dots) used in the lazy susan.
My problem is I hardly ever get the v-groove right and it is always off a little.
By the way... there is a middle step, when I use the router table, to cut the recess's on each side, to better conceal the lazy susan mechanism.
Any ideas?
