i used a 3/4" pvc 3 way fitting fitting which is basically a 90 with a kick off on one side, build a square and then four corners go down to the platform, if you mark out where they sit and screw 4 pvc caps down to the platform then slide in the frame over the top

you can paint if you choose, i did a memorizing spiral that looks awesome when spinning,

wire in a cord to the motor and add whatever you want to spin
