The drawing looked like this in the end. (see below) I added a piece of wood at 90 degrees on top of the main wooden piece for the camera stand to be strapped to for extra support. The piece of metal between the bottom piece and the rotating piece began as a large washer. This did stop friction but wasn't wide enough, resulting in it all rocking from side to side a little. But any amount it too much when you're animating. Therefore, replaced this with large circular disk that began life as part of a cafetiere. This is about 8cm diameter, so it does the job alot better. The wooden bottom piece that it all spins on could have done with being a little bigger, but as long as I move it slowly and carefully (which I would be doing anyway), it's perfect. Thank you so much John from the workshop for helping me with this and enabling this to cost me 99p to make!
Sorry about the slightly crude quality photos below. Obviously couldn't take the photo with my nice camera... as it's in the photo...
