Lazy susan base edging

[thomashenry]

I need to make two 70cm diameter lazy susan plates, with a chunk taken out so that they fit into a corner cupboard. I want to put some edging on the plates so that things don't get knocked off when inside the cupboard.

What are my options here? I was thinking to make the Lazy Susan plates as octagons, then make edging with a series of 22.5 degree mitred strips. Is there a way I could put some edging on a round base?

You could make a polygon which extends just beyond the circle boundary. Glue it on the circle, turn it upside down and template trim using a router.That would leave a circular external rim, with a polygon internal rim.

If stained though, might look a bit odd.

Why not laminate several thin strips around the perimeter? That way you can keep it round

As Matt says laminate some strips together. Make the radius tighter than required as with only a few laminates you will get some spring back when you take it out the mould. I made this carousel for our kitchen and did not make the radius quite tight enough and needed to screw the ends in to make it sit tight during the glue up.
