Hi Herschel,
Yes Velcro is stuck to bottom side of the circle. I fixed the loop part of the Velcro on the side of the base and the hairy part on the circle.
I progressively drilled the centre bolt hole from very small to the final size to get it as accurate as I could. Cleaned the hole up with utility knife.
I traced the lazy susan cut using the bearing itself as the template. I then pre-cut the lazy susan cutout with a utility knife leaving about 10mm to be cut, then I performed the actual cut with good scissors. The reason for doing it this may is I found scissors to be a more controlled cut than the utility knife as it must be circular.
Ideally you would have that 5mm on the very outside of the circle so the laminate sticks together well ..... but I couldn't be stuffed making 2 trips to officeworks to do mine. I got it printed and laminated in 1 visit and then just cutout it out when I got home. So far the laminate hasn't parted, and even if it did and got to a point that it was getting tatty, I would just redo it. I think it only cost about $20 to print and laminate so it's not that critical.
I would spend more time getting the cutover on the lazy susan as close to perfect as you can. This cut has more effect of the useability and accuracy of the circle. The very outside cut is purely aesthetics so that's up to you how accurate you want it.
