Lazy Susan Spins Food Around The Table Using Skateboard Trucks

This design for a lazy susan utilises skateboard trucks as the mechanism behind the rotation of the glass tabletop. It’s clever, but at $US1800 I’m thinking DIY project here. [Future Perfect via Boing Boing]
glass won’t fall off the table. If the wheels are new, there is enough friction against glass so to not slip. There would be marring on the underneath, tho, after a while. The wheels are not spinning in a straight line.

I think that may require another glass ring or etched groove to cature the center of rotation… Otherwise that glass wont last very long!
