Lining a lazy Susan cupboard
 
I have two of those lazy Susan type cupboards where the roundish shelves
just sort of go around and around. The cupboard is not a complete circle.
I had previously lined them with white Contact paper but that didn't work so
well. I couldn't get a piece that was the right size so I wound up piecing
some together. It looked like crap. I decided to remove the paper in the
flour cupboard after I discovered the weevils. That cupboard has since had
pretty much everything replaced except for the salt.

The other cupboard has mainly canned goods but the liner is old looking and
starting to rip.

I have bought some of that spongy liner with the holes in it in the hopes
that it will keep things from sliding. One problem I've had is stuff flying
off the sides as the shelves spin around.

But how to cut it? This might be easier to install because it is more
flexible. I had purchased some white liner online that just didn't work at
all. It was very stiff and slick and even when cut in pieces there turned
out not to be enough of it. I am not sure the stuff I have now is big
enough to be able to put just one piece in. I don't really know how to
explain it but the curved design is baffling me. Also the fact that I can't
access the entire cupboard at once. I can only get to like...half of it or
so.

Any ideas? Or hmmm... Maybe I could pay my nephew to do the lining for me.
He's had a heck of a lot more math than I have.

Lazy susans in corner cabinets are a waste of space and schmutz
collectors, especially underneath... get rid of them. I use one of
those grocer's friends to reach into the far recesses of corner
cabinets... a good place to store paper products.

But how do you make the pattern? What is it made of and how do you do it?

I would love to get rid of them but I can't afford to redo my kitchen. I
don't even have room to store paper products in the kitchen. They are in
the garage. I do have a small pullout cabinet to store things like plastic
bags. I freaking hate those pullouts too but all of my lower cabinets are
those. Things fall behind just as they fly off the shelves of the lazy
Susan. I just ordered some new reaching tools. It is hard for me to get
back there.

Why do things "fly off the shelves"? How hard to you spin the damned
thing? I've dealt with those corner cupboard lazy susan things in my
parents' homes and my siblings' homes, and I had them in one of my
kitchens once, and I've not experienced anything flying off. Falling
over, yes, but never falling off or flying anywhere.

Measure from the axis to the end of the circle. Take a strip of paper
or cardboard and use a thumb tack to hold the axis and poke a hole at
the measured end and use a pencil through the hole to trace it on your
material. You'll need to trim it out at the axle.

There is no kitchen redoing. It should be very easy to remove the
lazy susan, all you need is a screw driver and someone who can reach
into the cabinet to remove the bracket at the top, then the whole
assembly lifts out so you can remove the bottom bracket, or just leave
it there... I'd reattach the top bracket as well so it doesn't get
misplaced in case someone wants to reinstall the lazy susan.

I used newspaper. I don't remember if I had to tape a couple of
sheets together to cover the whole area. Then I just folded the
newspaper along the edges until it was the shape I wanted.

I lined my lazy susan shelves with vinyl flooring. Very sturdy
and I take it out and scrub it once a year or so.

Use a double-page of newspaper. If your newspaper is too small tape two
sheets together.

You need some string, a pencil and a tape measure or ruler. Tie the
pencil onto one eld of the string.

Measure the width of your lazy susan across the middle. That's the
diameter of the circle. The radius of the circle is half the diameter. Cut
the string to half the diameter.

Put the cut end in the middle of the paper, hold it with one finger.
With the other hand, hold the string taut and the pencil straight and use
it to draw a circle. Cut it out. That;s your pattern.

If your Lazy susan has a centre spindle you'll need a centre cut out on
the patternpaper to fit round it. Fold your paper circle in half, then in
quarters, and cut off the point. Now cut a straight line from the centre
hole to one edge of the circle. Lay your paper pattern on the lazy susan
to check it's a good fit.

Geez, Julie, it isn't rocket science - how do you make a pattern for
anything? You can access the curved edge of the shelf by turning it
around - just cut a bunch of pie-shaped pieces (use just one small
piece of newspaper to make one pie-shaped piece that has the proper
curvature on it) and tape them together to exactly fit the shelf. I
guess you would have to empty the shelf first. Duh.

Didn't you ever cut out paper valentine hearts and paper doilys in
kindergarten by folding and then cutting through all layers at once?

A couple lengths of butcher paper taped together to form a slightly
over sized square should do it... can fold the paper in half, in half
again, and in half once more to make a triangle, then measure from the
point the radius distance and cut on a tangent. Snip off the very
point to make an opening for the center post, open the sheet, tuck the
excess arcs under and tape to add strength, open one taped radius to
slip over the center post and retape and there you have it.

There is nothing at the end to keep the items at the end on the shelf. So
they fly off. You have to use quite a lot of force to open them because
they stick very badly. Very poor design. My daughter likes to have them
closed and I prefer the look of them closed but feasibly I try to keep them
open because it is far less hassle.

How do I measure the diamater of the circle? I am not good with math. My
house was built in 81 but was probably remodeled around 90.

What's an axis? I really am not good at math.

I don't know. That's why I asked. I have never made a pattern for

Not on the one I have. It has a very shallow lip on it. But if you stack
two cans high which I have to do, the top can will fall off. The other
cupboard is the one I use for flour and baking things. Everything in there
is now in a plastic container so not likely to fall off. But prior I just
had the bags in there. They were all small bags because these were
alternate flours like rice and tapioca. The bags would fall off of the
ends.

Then don't. I only took up to 9th grade math. I never took geometry. Some
people have explained how to do it using newspaper and the like. So now I
understand. Mathematical terms, I don't understand. Yeah I could look it
up. But I really wanted an answer. That's why I asked.

Gawd it was the simplest explanation for Julie who can't even work out
how to cut a circle; do you seriously think she understands words like
radius and tangent?

Jesus christ, you don't need to be good at maths to read a number on a

I don't believe US ninth graders don't learn such basics. It's primary

Maybe it is now but I never learned it. We did adding, subtracting,
multiplying, dividing and some algebra in Junior High.

I'll ask again: The "shelves" of your lazy susan have "ends"? You mean
to say that they are not a level or two of complete circles that turn on
a center post?

I said before they are not complete circles. No. There is a front to the
cabinet with two pieces to it that meet at right angles. You push it either
way to access the food within. There are two shelves each with a shallow
lip. At either end there is just a lot of air space where the corners are.
Stuff falls off of that.

I have a lazy susan cabinet in my kitchen, it's in a lower cabinet and has been a blessing for me. Everything is within easy reach, on both shelves.

Here's a pic of something similar. This isn't exactly what mine is because
mine is all wood and is attached to the cabinet fronts. It's the pie cut.
Mine has two shelves.

If things are flying off because you are having to use so much force to turn this lazy susan then it needs to be adjusted so it will turn easily. And why do these shelves HAVE to be lined???

They are made of porous wood. If I had the plastic ones, I wouldn't bother
to line them. I guess technically they don't *have* to be lined especially
since I have everything in the one cupboard in plastic containers. However
the previous owner had lined them with Contact paper that was ripped and bad
looking. It didn't peel up fully and neither did the paper that I put on
there. So there's a lot of adhesive with paper stuck to it here and there.
Looks like crap. Plus I sprayed the one with bug spray after I got the
weevils. I would just feel safer to have a layer of something between it
and my food.

My cupboard apparently isn't typical from what I have just looked at online
because the cabinet front is attached to the lazy Susan. This (I think) in
and of itself is causing it to go off balance. That and the way the cabinet
front fits into the opening. I think the wood swells and causes it to
stick. Sometimes it will only go one way and not the other.

I don't know but... I don't like to use paint and with a curious little
kitten in the house it probably wouldn't go so well. I wouldn't think most
paint would be washable though and if I did get that kind it would require
many coats of paint given how porous that wood is.

Diameter is the measurement around the outside of the circle.

I haven't used my radius in ages -- all the music and talk I need is
on the Web. I do like tangents because they're easier to peel than
regular oranges.
