Wood Thrust Flat Bearing - Marbles & Ball Bearings

Construction Article: http://woodgears.ca/reader/walters/thrust_bearing.html

I wanted to make a flat thrust bearing (similar to a lazy susan) using marbles. I experimented with 9/16" diameter glass marbles, 5/8" ball bearings and a method to make them run evenly in the tack.

Check this out by pocket83 who spent a lot more time making a similar bearing than I did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-L3PW4J30w&feature=plcp
