... I built cabinets for the folks when they redid the house and we
did fit one 30" cabinet on the side of the range and another on the side
of the sink on the other wall. That left an 8" opening on each side in
the corner and we then built a custom lazy susan to fit the hole. In
order to make it useful we maximized the diameter but cut a square
corner out of the shelves so the doors to it could fit in the same line
as the cabinet faces (overlay doors, face-frame cabinets).

OK, following up from the link of the other poster...

Idea is this although built much more stoutly and includes a "can"
surrounding the outside to keep stuff from falling behind into the void...

You have to make room for the front w/ this; the other sacrifices the
one cabinet you already have which overall may not be a win given the
limitations on the shelf size of the half-moon to make the bend.

IOW, you can't get something for nothing...


This photo is a nice build. Has to be done when the cabinets get
installed. Not a builder grade cabinet.
