    Great video. Thank you for all the infomation. I have always wanted to scratch build a turntable big enough for large steam and diesel locos, and this is definitely my inspiration. Thank you again

    Here is what Bob H said how he did it.
    I made it on my band saw. I started with a center point on a square piece of thin plywood, drilling a small hole. Then took a yard stick and put a small nail in for the plywood to rotate on

    Part 2. Figure out what distance I needed for the circle. I put the yard stick and nail through the hole in the plywood. I then clamped the yard stick down to the table of the band saw putting the plywood edge touching the blade. Rotate the piece around and now you have a circle.
    Hope this is clear

    I'm not sure what you mean by the wood. The wood that we used for the turntable? The base was plywood. The gray part was picture frame matting. Hope this helps.

    Cool... Can you post where you bought the motor/Gears. Part number if you have it
    Thanks!

    Yes, there is a part 2. See it here.
    Well, it will not let me put in a link here. But here is the end of the link....
    Put in the normal UA-cam web address and then add the following.
    /watch?v=BG__hIgtsRM
    That should work.

    doctordMich We actually changed out the motor you saw in this video. It just didn't work well. I am in the process right now of uploading an video that shows the final result of this turntable. It sure has taken us some time to get this project done. We are not using a 110 voltage motor. I will try to see if I can find any markings on the motor for you.

    Why don't you get a 1/4 inch guitar jack & plug for your electrical connection?

    Robert, sorry, but I don't see a name or a number on this motor. I had a friend that built this whole turntable. I asked him about it and he doesn't remember.
