I Build a Full Size Rotating Photography Platform for Cosplay, Props and More!

In this episode I build an automated, rotating platform for displaying props, items for photography, or your wife! A small AC gear motor rotates this hand built platform and allows you to display or photograph in style!

Thanks to Secret Admiral and Chris Haugen for the music in this episode.

Youtube suggested the DND table build but this one is just as fun. Hope you get an increase in subs as you deserve it. You know what you're doing while crafting, invest a bit more time in filming the process of making the project. Close ups, call out to techniques and tools used, specific variations of the tools, techniques and such if someone decides to copy you at any point. Floating explanation text e.g time it takes to do a certain part, tools, materials, cost and such. More details in the video details section of the parts (potentially a good thing to do if you want to do affiliates). Awesome content, keep up the good job

I wasn't expecting it to be THIS DIY!! I'm gonna try to make a ball-bearings version - like a lazy Susan.

Great build!
How about a adaption from steady base that has a rotating pivot arm to hold a camera or smartphone to shoot a bullet time video? Your model can definitely be adapted. Check 360 photo booth if needed

For those of you looking for something less fun to build (ie easier) a swivel chair might be recycled. use the bearing from the chair, cut things down and bolt your platform to it, and make a base.

Now i feel silly cause it took watching 5 different videos on turntables plus rockler bearings and this to realized it!

I've been contemplating a project like this forever! May I ask what kind of motor you went with and how much weight you think it might support?

[ROMANCH]

What is the size of your 2 pulleys and how did you do so that your pulley does not scratch with the outer brackets of the engine? Did you increase the height of the pulley or add the pulley on top of your part that goes over the engine?

WHERE CAN YOU EVEN BUY THIS ON THE INTERNET?
You did an amazing job!

I don't know why I don't see more adults blantly doing cosplay.

[courtneybrooke]

[frankgarofalo]

[herrmichalak]

Is there an option for a remote-controlled one? What powers it? Performer here 👋

[SoggyBiscuits]

awesome, always wanteds to build somthing like this but i dont have half the tools id need to go it.

[HOTSAUCE]

Can you tell me what all I need to build one please? I really need to make one of these

[markcutajar]

Very interesting, may i ask what is the motor that you use and how can i choose the adequate motor for turning the weight i need please?

[TumbleSensei]

Interesting. So theoretically... Hypothetically.... Could one.. modify this with a variable speed motor to say... Spin a human anywhere from 30-70rpms. Sounds ridiculous but coming up with new acts and equipment for circus. Needing a rotating platforms that is motor assisted that allows an athlete to hold and elbow/headstand while rotating. If let's say this is possible.. what motor would one look for? Also the athlete by changing their own shape (starting wide and ending small) would increase the speed of the platforms rotation but I wonder if that would have any effect on the motor. As I'm sure there might be resistance.

Thank you so much for the video where can I buy the round big piece of wood ?

[TheSoleProprietor]

I want to build one, but I don't have access to a workshop or tools. Actually, I bet I could rent power tools at the nearest home depot. But where can I find an AC motor?

[TruVineLLC]

I'd buy one from you, how much?
