But how do you make the pattern? What is it made of and how do you do it?

Measure from the axis to the end of the circle. Take a strip of paper
or cardboard and use a thumb tack to hold the axis and poke a hole at
the measured end and use a pencil through the hole to trace it on your
material. You'll need to trim it out at the axle.

What's an axis? I really am not good at math.

Then don't. I only took up to 9th grade math. I never took geometry. Some
people have explained how to do it using newspaper and the like. So now I
understand. Mathematical terms, I don't understand. Yeah I could look it
up. But I really wanted an answer. That's why I asked.

I don't believe US ninth graders don't learn such basics. It's primary
school stuff.

Maybe it is now but I never learned it. We did adding, subtracting,
multiplying, dividing and some algebra in Junior High.

More than likely she doesn't even know what a compass is, and I don't
mean the sort that shows which direction is N.

I know that a compass is that pokey thing that they aren't allowed to use in
school here. We had one but it was tiny. Would only measure a few inches.

She doesn't want to help herself. Several posters have given her
plenty of answers but she seems to want someone to come over and do it
for her.

I used newspaper. I don't remember if I had to tape a couple of
sheets together to cover the whole area. Then I just folded the
newspaper along the edges until it was the shape I wanted.

I lined my lazy susan shelves with vinyl flooring. Very sturdy
and I take it out and scrub it once a year or so.

Use a double-page of newspaper. If your newspaper is too small tape two
sheets together.

You need some string, a pencil and a tape measure or ruler. Tie the
pencil onto one eld of the string.

Measure the width of your lazy susan across the middle. That's the
diameter of the circle. The radius of the circle is half the diameter. Cut
the string to half the diameter.

Put the cut end in the middle of the paper, hold it with one finger.
With the other hand, hold the string taut and the pencil straight and use
it to draw a circle. Cut it out. That;s your pattern.

If your Lazy susan has a centre spindle you'll need a centre cut out on
the patternpaper to fit round it. Fold your paper circle in half, then in
quarters, and cut off the point. Now cut a straight line from the centre
hole to one edge of the circle. Lay your paper pattern on the lazy susan
to check it's a good fit.

Didn't you ever cut out paper valentine hearts and paper doilys in
kindergarten by folding and then cutting through all layers at once?

A couple lengths of butcher paper taped together to form a slightly
over sized square should do it... can fold the paper in half, in half
again, and in half once more to make a triangle, then measure from the
point the radius distance and cut on a tangent. Snip off the very
point to make an opening for the center post, open the sheet, tuck the
excess arcs under and tape to add strength, open one taped radius to
slip over the center post and retape and there you have it.

Gawd it was the simplest explanation for Julie who can't even work out
how to cut a circle; do you seriously think she understands words like
radius and tangent?

I haven't used my radius in ages -- all the music and talk I need is
on the Web. I do like tangents because they're easier to peel than
regular oranges.

Thanks. That makes sense. Maybe next time I will use flooring.

Geez, Julie, it isn't rocket science - how do you make a pattern for
anything? You can access the curved edge of the shelf by turning it
around - just cut a bunch of pie-shaped pieces (use just one small
piece of newspaper to make one pie-shaped piece that has the proper
curvature on it) and tape them together to exactly fit the shelf. I
guess you would have to empty the shelf first. Duh.

I don't know. That's why I asked. I have never made a pattern for
anything!

How do I measure the diamater of the circle? I am not good with math. My
house was built in 81 but was probably remodeled around 90.

Jesus christ, you don't need to be good at maths to read a number on a
tape measure.

But you do to know what diameter is. And I don't know.

Diameter is the measurement around the outside of the circle.

Thank you. That would be pretty hard to measure seeing as how I can't
access all of it at once.

Listen Julie, the diameter of a circle is its full width across--the
length of a straight line running between two points that bisects the
center and creates two equal 180 degree arcs. The distance around the
outside of a circle is its circumference.

In that case measure from the center to an outer edge. Take a string
and tie a pencil to one end. Measure from the pencil to the length
you just measured. Then hold the other end on the piece of paper.
Draw a circle. Cut it out and test it in the circle.It should fit
pretty well and you can make whatever adjustments you need.
