In your local big box hardware store, they sell Lazy Susan kits.

The one we purchased didn’t come with screws, so have someone help you with the size.

I always find a drill bit gauge to be helpful if I’m using We began by cutting scraps of MDF measured to fit the Lazy Susan kit.

Measure and mark where you want to attach it to the wood round. I used masking tape to mark where the base attaches.

Next, I predrilled holes into both MDF pieces and the wooden round.

This is why the tape came in handy. You will need to remove the base to attach the lazy susan kit and lining it up again was difficult.
