Decided to make a turntable out of adjustable stools. So I bought a pair of hydraulic adjustable stools with a platform base.  
Bought the 2ft table top at Home Depot.  
I plan to use one as a work stool, and the other be fitted with a 2 foot diameter wood top with textured weatherproof paint and some eye bolts below to secure pots and trees.  
I was drooling over the beautiful turntables available in the store, but I have to stay within my allowance and if I spend it all on a turntable, I have to skip workshops and acquiring plants  
when they are available. I bought a second 2ft table top and am going to install a lazy susan to use on tabletop or bench top. The waterproof textured paint I use has weathered several years on the deck of my sailboat, so it is pretty rugged. I have invested less than $100 in this winter project… just in time for Christmas!! I need to clean the corrosion off my steel square.😔
