Thread: want one of these

Look up "tiered cake tray" on google.

good dawd you must have been waiting for me...type out the question, head off to little room come back and bingo.
thanks BobL

so there we go gentle people how would I go making one out of ply/veneered mdf and ?? uprights

I made a tiered cake tray for a wedding some years back; the central support posts were made from quadrant moulding glued into cylinders and sanded round. The top handle had a length of threaded rod long enough to pass through all the shelves and the centres of the supports and into a T-nut embedded in the base. The shelves were made from MDF.

Hi Tony, do you want the shelves to rotate?? If so, you could use a bit of PVC Pipe in between the MDF, with Lazy Susan bearings, to allow it to rotate. You could use successive decreasing sizes for the column.
If you don't, then use MDF boards with a hole diameter to suit the PVC pipe and small angle brackets to hold them in place. If you wanted more stability, drill holes to siut a particular diameter dowel and slide together and apply glue to hold it in place.

Here's one I made in 2010
Constant smell of BBQ sauce

The whole thing rotates on one lazy susan bearing

An interesting thread.
You have given me a great idea for a Christmas gift for my model making son-in-law, no doubt our daughter will also be greatfull for organizing his clutter.
But who am I to judge.
