I just got done building my “Lazy Susan” and it is working great! Cost me a bit more then yours did due to the price of lumber. It was still less then $50 and I’m very happy to spend that amount ( or more) for something that prevents aggravation and tension from almost dropping my bike every time I tried to maneuver it in and out of my backyard shed. As a 76 year old that still loves to ride, this contraption is priceless. Thank you very much for this well done video. 😃

That’s great to hear! Ya it saved me a 6+ point turn every day. And I had a light bike. Super handy in tight spaces. Not sure what you’re riding but the next one I build, I’ll prob go with a sturdier wood which will definitely bring the price tag up. Nice thing too is the lazy susans we’re using are rated at 1000lbs so great for most bikes. Safe ridin!

I've made one of these before. They work, but make sure your feet can reach down when you climb up the extra few inches on the board. If not, you could tip over when you reach the top.

@BenRenschen

6 жыл бұрын

Oh whoa! Obviously, this is 100% your call, but I would seriously consider saving yourself the work of doing it twice. It's only two more days. The reason being, the longer board (that you ride your bike up onto) is going bow/bend a little bit. When that happens, the construction of the 450kg lazy susan will handle the bending weight. I'm guessing here, but I'd bet the 100lbs lazy susan (especially if it's the square top/bottom one) will likely break apart. It's less about the ball bearings and more about the construction of the lazy susan relative to what the weight does to the boards. BUT if you end up trying with success with your 100lbs lazy susan, please let me know! I'd be very curious! That'd be crazy if it worked!

6 жыл бұрын

SO worth it! I was doing 10-point turns before. It was ridiculous. I'm imagining your fix is as simple as a longer pine board to start with. I started w/ a 10ft length (cut into 8ft ramp + 2ft base). Maybe 12ft will give you the 10ft ramp you need and you still have a 2ft base. Also, remember that the weight of your bike isn't necessarily distributed at the exact center of your bike. In other words, don't just measure the length of your bike and make your ramp cuts. You'll want to make sure you have extra inches (up to a foot) on the front and back. Then you can cut the ends of the ramp as necessary...but that can easily be done once you've put the pieces together. Let me know how it goes!

If you wanted to use it for parking, i think that another removable board would work with bolts out the bottom. The bolts could slide into holes in the base and then the side stand could rest on that. The board would buck up to the main board to keep it from spinning while on the stand.

definitely dig that idea. I'd love to see someone build a parkable version while keeping it super cheap. That was why I made this one. Everything else required metal work which I wasn't interested in. My only concern would be the longer plank bowing over time with sustained weight. At least for a single 2x12. I'm sure there's a solve for that that wouldn't be too crazy. If you ever end up pulling that off for some reason, would love to see it!

On the AMAZON add for the lazy susan you posted, when saving it to a "list", there are suggested-related items. One was mountable roller ball bearings. So to answer the Idea Dave Nichol suggested, you could add a couple of those to each end of the board you drive on. Thus letting the 8'-2x12 roll easier on a concrete floor and give it some support---"SAG ISSUE". But would raise the ride on "BUMP" just a bit. But probably still doable. And raise your price tag just a bit. But this was a No frills great idea. Thats how they did HUGE trains back in the day. WELL DONE. As Red Green used to say.."

If that’s the case I probably wouldn’t use pine wood. That bike was 584lbs and the top board on my build bowed a bit when mounted. In your scenario it would probably scrape a concrete floor when rotating to the point of being a problem/nuisance. Though maybe there’s some low profile casters that are strong enough for the underside of the ends of the top board. You could always try it with cheap materials and add your base/bottom board if necessary.

Slightly modded 2007 Honda Shadow VT750. I hated the tank paint jobs on those things and was lucky to find one where the previous owner already took care of that.

for a few more dollars you need to get some old bed rails (yard sale). you'll need to do some cutting and drilling but you can use them to stiffen the top board for heavier bikes. 5 or 6 feet on each side centered is plenty. or if you can find some old angle iron/steel laying around, clean them up to look pretty. i think you put the lazy susan upside down by the way.

@BenRenschen

Жыл бұрын

Yeah totally could do some kind of rails. I went for lowest effort and cheapest I could get away with. It certainly lasted the 18 months of daily use. But this is also California and didn’t get much rain so didn’t have to worry about warping.

Well My bike is 730 pounds and when centered, both 8 Foot wood ends touch the ground and I can’t turn it with Me on the bike. If I get off, the 3 5/8’s height prevents Me from using the kick stand without a board under it, and that board gets in the way of the 2 foot section on the shed floor. Shed is 10 foot deep and 16 feet wide with 2 Harley’s. I finally took a 2X4 and cut two 1 1/2" pieces and screwed them into the sides and now it can hold either bike and I can do a 90 degree turn and back the bike into its parking space and put the dolly up in the shelving area, out of the way. At least I did not have to spend any more money, and glad the 2 x 4 worked for My problem.

Hey Frankie - that’s a good question. So I’m about 5’ 10” and obviously it depends on you and your bike, but with this build you’re only lifting off the ground about 3-3.5 inches. Each board in my vid is going to be about 1.5” in height in their position as seen. Add another fraction of an inch for the lazy Susan. The only thing I could thing of (for you) is if you made a much larger base to also support you putting your feet down - at least you could keep 1.5” less height to the ground. Short on a bike is tough but I have to imagine there’s a way to get crafty. Even if it’s tossin on some home made (over boot) slip on clogs w/ rubber lining on the bottom for grip.

Thanks Rosalie! Sorry I missed this comment when you dropped it a few months back.

Nice project, but are those zombie hoards coming?

Hordes, jo, hordes. Then again, the zombies can't spell either.

Muy bien

What I built was not for storage, but it probably wouldn’t be too much work to figure out how to make that work.

Way Cool - Very Ingenious! I want one. Where did you find the Lazy Susan thing?

easy to build with the right tools! Lazy Susan is in the description! I got mine on Amazon but hardware stores should also have, just need to call around a bit.

Pretty novel idea. But I have to ask, when you have a square why do you have to measure 4 marks to draw a perpendicular line? All you need is one or maybe 2 if you really need.

Good question. Probably being unnecessarily thorough bc that’s how my brain works. Haha

How has the longer plank held up?

Great question but I moved a couple years after. I got a solid two years out of it though. And it probably could’ve gone for a bit longer. But I also lived in LA where weather was pretty reliable and not too often “bad”. So many factors to consider but if you end up testing it out in adverse weather I’d love to hear your experience.

Brilliant 😎👍

Hey Aaron - Check the description for a link. Otherwise look up “1000lbs capacity lazy susan”

You know tbat lazy susan is upside down, right? They are directional...The side with the big access holes goes on top. It will wear the bearings way faster that way if you don't flip it over..
