Re: Turning giant turntables

One of the options I like is using whatever round thing you want in the diameter turret you want and mounting an inside out timing belt to it so the teeth point out. Use a small diameter belt on another sprocket or whatever on the output shaft of your gearbox. Mesh them together and boom! Super easy, Eric's method works as well.
