Help w/ Gun Cabinet Idea
 

Alright I have this huge shop project I am working on. It is a 6 piece corner gun cabinet that is going to be HUGE! anyways, I am going to have a lazy susan type thing in the it that will hold guns (I don't know if you have been to Wal-Mart and saw their guns, but it will be something similar to how it turns). I'm going to put lights in it, and I thought it would be cool if I found a motor to put in so the lazy susan will turn on its own and show all of our guns. I've thought that a clock motor might work, but I don't think it will be strong enough. Having it turn once every minute or so would be great...
Haha, If you understand this at all, maybe you have some kind of an idea. If not, I guess I can say I tried...

Ok, if you're really really serious and know a friend who can machine metal...take a old ceiling fan motor, rig so that it'll only run on low and then gear it down...WAY down. Maybe even mess with the engine itself (amps, volts...idunno). The trick will be getting it to go slow enough. Quiet and strong enough though.

They also sell rottisseare (sp) kits as aftermarket grill accessories. You could snatch the engine from that.
