I need to make two 32 " diameter kitchen lazy susan shelves.
I am going to make them out of 3/4" MDF with a band of 1/2" oak wrapped
around them.
I need a simple way to steam the oak so I can bend it around the MDF.
I have read all about making various steam boxes out of PVC pipe, 5 gallon
gas cans and propane stoves. Iam not going to bebendin allot of wood in my
lifetime so I'm looking for the simplest way to do this. I'd like to not
use lamination.
PS id like to just buy them in plastic, but I can't seem to find. The place
I would have expected to find them www.wwharehouse.com dosn't have them in
this size.
Thanks, Cliff
I need to add a 2" or more lip around the edge of the shelf so as you
spin the shelf around the cans of soup don't go flying around the
cabinet.

I thought of that and may still do it, but to me that just screams 50's
kitchen.
You know that ones that had the formica countertop with the aluminum
edging around it.

I built a bunch of lazy susans for use on the kitchen shelves, use
1/16in thick x 2in aluminum "bar" stock bent around the edge of the
lazy susan to give me a rim to prevent things from sliding off.
Attached with contact cement and #4 screws
