Step 3: The Base

For the base, it turned out that a 2x4 was the right height for the servo wheel. So, we built the base from a few 2x4s. The middle one sticks out to hold the camera mount for TeleToyland . We used two carefully placed screws (to avoid the ball bearings and tracks) through the base into the bottom of the lazy susan to hold it on.

Since the Carousel is viewed from a web cam, we added a curved board behind it to hold a curved poster board with a background scene on it. We made the curved part form some 1x10 pine, and attached it with a 1x2 cleat.
