Re: Making a custom lazy-susan style bearing

The one in the kit could be cut open to fit a ball through. That's our backup plan....and the same one is available at our local Ace hardware store for about $12 in case we mess it up.

We made our own turret bearing...not sure how it'll work out, but in early testing it seems to work.

Pics on our photo gallery

I think we have some video of it moving, too.
