Worm gear for a homemade rotary table

I've just pulled the trigger on a 3 axis DRO for my mill. Aliexpress 11-11 sale.
Should I decide to proceed with the rotary table it should help out a little. But on the flip side it might make necessity a little less.

Before I had the lathe I thought I knew of a million things I would make if only I had a lathe. Got the Lathe and thought seems everything I want to make on the lathe would be better if only I had a mill... now I'm stumped. Seems the only things I can think of to make is more tooling for the lathe and mill. lol I'm soon gonna have to show the wife these things are useful
I also invested in the same dro. I've got a wife who doesn't pay attention to the details. That is really helpful when a new gun follows me home. If she notices at all she assumes I've always had it. And if she asks I tell her "that's my rifle/shotgun/pistol" and she never asks how long I've had it.

I am skating on thin ice there though as she has started to question why all of my guns used to fit in 1 safe and now occupy 2.
 
A little off-topic, my apologies to the OP....

hmmmmm............let's see if we can come up with some creative answers.....
1) the safe is shrinking with age/humidity.
2) the pistols do not get along with the rifles and I had to separate them.
3) the anit-rust coating on the rifles is turning the pistol grips funny colours.
4) don't want all my eggs in one basket.

Now back to the regularly scheduled thread......
