Hello All,

I'm currently building a Twister illusion. I have the cabinet itself built and working great. I started the head mechanism and am having some trouble with it. I bought a 13 in lazy Susan hardware, but it's not working like it should. I think I got a wrong model. Does anyone have experience with the workings of this? Should I try to build my own lazy Susan hardware or is there a certain type of model I need to buy? I know I could just build the box like a head twister with the box in a box version. But I would really like to have just one box for the head. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

It is sold and someone on here gave the web address (a long time ago) I will do a search and see if I can find. I also THOUGHT (maybe wrong as I can't get to my plan right now)that is was given on the Osboune Plan.

You don't say what specificially what the one you have is
doing or not doing that you want it to...

But most good restaurant supply stores sell the giant lazy susans. Get a good one, it takes some abuse and needs to hold the weight of the box when it's tipped up.

Ebay has them, but they sell 2-3 different qualities and sometimes you have to search for the all metal ones.

I am guessing he is haveing trouble finding one with a hole big enought to easly get his head through. It is not in the Osboune plan.

Yes I was having trouble finding a big enough one for a head to fit through. But I just went another route and made it like a standard head twister. A box in a box version, with the bottom opened and the lazy Susan on top between the inner box and outer box. It works great!

Lee Valley Tools carry different size lazy Susans. You can check their catalogue online.
