My new turntable.
An old office chair with chair removed
A $10 chopping board from Kmart
4 nuts and bolts
And around 10-15 minutes later, as we say down under...”Bob’s you uncle!”

It’s heavy duty and can take a huge weight
It’s on rollers and moves easily
it’s height adjustable 24E1AD52-0768-44FD-9CE6-A4AB1E637E63.jpeg45318216-A84D-4DD6-9B3A-C6B3EBC5C0A4.jpeg8F006112-E267-4574-9F88-8DF8D1F2F7F5.jpegand spins easily.

Enjoy

With stands, it's not about the height of the tree on it. It's all about the weight of the tree. My trees would topple (or possibly crush or break) both the chopping block stand and the footstool relatively easily.

Not those barber chairs though.

For small trees:
U$ 30 for the parts (two pine planks, one roller bearing ring, nuts, stain), and two hors of work:

Nice! I've bolted these same turntables to the top platforms on my outdoor stands. They work pretty well keeping big trees turned in the sun. I have to replace them every few years though, because of the weight of the trees and weathering...

I would love to have a barber chair, can’t find them around here if so they are expensive. I bet they are heavy duty and doesn’t wobble. I bought a garage stool at harbor freight, remover the cushion and slapped a board on. Whatever works right.
