This is the new stamp pad turntable my DH constructed.
I designed this prototype using the Ikea DVD holders and Lazy Susan. The next model will have holes for the markers. There are 6 sides so I have room for each color family, one side for neutrals, and a 6th for the old and new "In Colors" and a few retired colors I hung on to. I may decide to sell these as we can make and ship them reasonably, but this is not an ad! I will take out an ad if we decide to sell them. Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.

I'd love to get my hands on one of those when you decide to start manufacturing them. Great idea.

these are awesome V, did you design the individual racks or are those the Ikea ones? I think they discontinued the Ikea ones right? i never thought of having DH make me more when I run out of space for my pads. Good idea!

If they are reasonable and s/h are also resonable, I might want many!! I have every ink pad on the market in almost every color. This looks like it would hold the Tim Holtz, Staz On, Old SU pads, Brilliance, Acient Page, Fabrico.
Does he also make the punch holders I've seen someone doing?
E-mail me when you start selling please.

These look great!! I would definitely be interested, as it appears the quality is good and sturdy. Also love that it is six sided for some extras. The product would be even more appealing if it would hold some of the thicker stamp pads like the Chalks and Brilliance. The cassette boxes I have purchased just don't cut it for me. This looks like a winner to me. Thanks for sharing and kudos for DH.
I also think the idea is great. It sounds like you're going to work on having a spot for the marker, so can you include a spot on the turntable for the ink refill. It would be nice to have the pad and the ink refill together! Good luck with the idea and keep us posted!

I suggest you contact a patent attorney and get your plans copyrighted before somebody else makes the money you should've made. This is a fantastic, brilliant idea.
