What It Is

You attach a 12-inch turntable to a ready-made round board, finish it with stain or a scorched-paint effect, and personalise it with a family name. No saws are needed, so you could even make it in an RV.

The Pitch

He says it takes less time than cooking a frozen pizza, costs $18.31 for the nicer version, and sells for around $60, with personalisation letting you name your price.

Who It’s Best For

People with little space or few tools who enjoy finishing and personalising.

The Truth (as we see it)

Personalised orders mean careful spelling checks and customer messages. Scorching finishes use heat and chemicals, so work safely. Sales mostly come through Facebook Marketplace, local pickup and Etsy, so you'll need to photograph, list and hand over orders. His profit maths leaves out your time, tool wear and fees unless stated. He gives his plans away free on his website.
