Lazy Susan Salt, Pepper, & Napkin Holder
Lazy Susan Mechanism
Many moons ago I designed and built a combined salt & pepper and napkin holder
for use on a round oak table we had when first married (1983). It had a Lazy Susan
turntable for the base to facilitate easy access by anyone sitting at the table.
At some point during our many household moves, we sold both the table and the turntable
at a yard sale (not necessarily at the same time).
For a long time I have been planning to build another to replace it. Finally, I
used some leftover hickory wood from my
Grandmother clock project and
built what you see here. It is about 11½" in diameter; the size was kept
as small as practical so as not to take up too much room on the table. One
improvement over the first iteration was only placing vertical supports near the
four corners, which keeps the back open for inserting napkins without needing to
remove the salt and pepper shakers.
