Default inginuity required

I'm building a turntable from wood that will operate outside,
approx 3 feet in diameter.
I have an old electric wheelchair motor that works on 12 volts and rotates
approx 200 revs per minute. (no speed controller)
I'd like to get this down to about 20 revs per min.
I thought I could drop the turntable on one of the wheels and hope the
friction would turn the edge
but this does'nt appear to work
Any ideas how I can get this to work with basic household/garage parts?
(I've not got suitable chains and sprockets, belts and pullies in my garage)
Come on uk.d-i-y here's a challenge for you.
TIA
