Great Job!  But I had trouble with the top.  There appear to be four 4 x 4
plates that fit over the small turntable and are wedged against the axle so as
to form a surface that spins with the axle. When I try this, the plates do not
fit.  Are those special plates or have I missed something here.  Thanks

I think it's actually a 2x2 round plate in the center, with four 2x2 corner
plates surrounding it.  It's a bit hard to tell from the photo though.
