The board rotating mount of claim 12, further comprising (I) a plurality of first screws, each first screw being sized to assist with connecting (i) said top plate to said bearing, (ii) said bottom plate to said bearing, or (iii) both (i) and (ii); and (II) a plurality of second screws, each second screw being sized to assist with connecting said at least one T-nut cap member to said top plate. 14. The board rotating mount of claim 1, wherein said bearing comprising (i) an inner ring member comprising an inner set of holes therein suitable for binding said bearing to said bottom plate, (ii) an outer ring member comprising an outer set of holes therein suitable for binding said bearing to said top plate, and (iii) a plurality of ball bearings positioned between an outer peripheral surface of said inner ring member and an inner peripheral surface of said outer ring member. 15. The board rotating mount of claim 1, wherein said top plate (i) has an overall circular shape, and (ii) comprises a rim extending along a peripheral edge of said top plate, said rim forming a top plate side wall extending downward from a lower top plate surface. 16. A kit comprising the board rotating mount of claim 1, said kit comprising recessed washers, special and standard nuts, M6×12 millimeter (mm) screws, M6×14 mm screws, M6×16 mm screws, M6 channel T-nuts, or any combination thereof. 17.
